13u Tourney All-American Team

Jheremy Brown
Cam McElwaney
Scott Rankin
What a year it was in 2025 on the national landscape at the 13u level as Perfect Game continues to expand its reach around the country, providing an even bigger schedule of events coast-to-coast which has allowed players all over show out and gain their deserved recognition. Whether in Texas for the Houston 1000 or the 13u WWBA in West Palm Beach, we saw huge, eye opening performances from the players placed below, knowing that we could EASILY build a third team and likely a fourth without much effort. 

As we do every year with this exercise, it's worth pointing out the trickiness of this age group and putting the teams together with the 13u group. While the players are all members of the Class of 2030, some are younger for the grade, which allowed them to play at the 12u level where's it's a smaller field, shorter mound distance and different bats, so we'll separate them out and they will be detailed later. There's also the 54/80 option for players and teams to play in, along with Minors and AAA, all things that are looked at when assembling both teams. 



Let's take a quick second, starting with the offense, and appreciate the performances these guys put together while highlighting some of the eye opening numbers across the board. Texas outfielder Jesse Soberal Jr. is no stranger to Perfect Game events and once again put his best foot forth, continuing to swing a hot stick while earning a First Team best 31 All-Tournament Team nods. Of the 24 man roster, 20 of the players hit double digit home runs, but none connected for more moonshots than Florida's own Mark Thompson who belted 28 home runs, a truly other worldly number. There's no lacking in the speed department thanks to Louisiana's Derrick Carley Jr and his 74 bags and nobody was able to match the bat-to-ball skills of Quintin Blackwell out of California as he hit a robust .567 on the circuit. 

For as good as the bats were, there were still plenty of arms who impressed on the brightest of stages, earning their spots on both the first and second team, respectively. Amongst the sea of impressive resumes of work, you have numbers like 120 (Jack Drake's strikeout numbers), 0.908 (Luke Rohlfs' WHIP) or even 90 mph, the best heater we saw from this group last year, courtesy of Amani Tuiasosopo (though that comes with a caveat of sorts as he popped the 90 this past fall, after the calendar switched to 14u, but that's okay.) 

Of all the elite performers, it wasn't the easiest to narrow it down to a single player for the Player, Pitcher and Two-Way Player of the Year, but through some deliberation, and truly letting the numbers speak for themselves, below are the winners of each award.

Player of the Year: Mark Thompson (FL)

28 home runs. That's it. That's all that needs to be said. But, Mark Thompson is more than just home runs and his overall stat line this summer was simply otherworldly. In any other year there'd be a handful of players vying for this spot, but Thompson's performance was simply too loud to be overtaken. Over the course of 258 plate appearances, the Floridian racked up 111 hits, good for a .558 batting average, but his 1.817 OPS is even more impressive as he gathered 23 doubles, 12 triples and those 28 round trippers. There's obviously intent to do damage every time he steps into the box, but he's not going to sell out, showing a disciplined approach, not afraid to draw his walks to simply take what the pitcher gives him. He's an all fields hitter with a very real feel for the barrel and it's the type of swing that'll continue to excel as he climbs the ranks and into the wooden bat phase of the 14u circuit. 

Pitcher of the Year: Noah Osterman (GA)

Not only does Osterman have arguably the best line across the board on the first team from this past summer, but he did it against some of the best teams in the country and we all know pitching at the 13u level isn't the easiest given what you're going up against. A low-80s lefty from southern Georgia, Osterman exemplifies what it means to be a "pitcher" in that he throws three pitches, in any count, with real feel to move it throughout the four quadrants and to either side of the plate. That's not to say low-80s at the 13u level isn't impressive, it truly is, but more that he doesn't just rely on challenging hitters on the strength of a heater. Over the course of his 65.1 innings he punched out 99 and more impressively walked just 32, limiting the big hit while finishing the year with a 1.270 WHIP, a very good mark at the 13u level. Osterman might be the 13u Pitcher of the Year but he also found a spot on the second team for his hitting as he's an all-around quality athlete, showing an innate feel for hitting as evidenced by his nearly .500 average and 1.463 OPS, showing there's some hidden juice at the plate as well. 

Two-Way Player of the Year: Jhunior Jose Cordero (FL)

I'll challenge you to go find something on the baseball field that Cordero can't do. It might take you a little bit. So let's dive into what he CAN do and know it's a little bit of everything at the highest of levels. A first teamer for both pitching and hitting, it's fitting that the young Floridian takes home the Two-Way Player of the Year honors and rightfully so given what he did. Possessing one of the better fastball in the class as he'll park it in the mid- to upper-80s, Cordero can absolutely spin the baseball which led him to punching out 93 in just 65 innings to just 36 walks and proved to be nearly unhittable as suggested by his minute and first team best 0.826 WHIP. How about with the bat though? Well, he hit almost .500 on the year (.497) and had as many doubles as he did home runs with 11 in both columns, proving to consistently find the power stroke. There's a combination of bat speed and strength that you don't often find at the 13u level and he's proven time and time again that he's just not full of tools, but that they play at the highest of levels as well.

‘28 OF Jakob Groeschel (OH) continues to impress with the bat on the circuit, picked up 2 2Bs in the first game today. Really athletic, went 4.4 on turn; easy to dream on all the traits. #MLKEast @PG_OhioValley pic.twitter.com/wOIwnGKnkg — Perfect Game Florida (@Florida_PG) January 17, 2026 2028 OF Jakob Groeschel (Springfield, Ohio) broke out at this event last year hitting a casual .909, and although he didn’t turn in quite the same performance, he hit a strong .462 with 4 extra-base hits, 5 walks, 5 bags and only struck out once. He’s a pretty dynamic athlete who can do a lot of things well, but the bat is the calling card as he just lives on the barrel and has no problem handling all kinds of pitching. It’s a simple swing, but he’s got fast hands and he can really impact the ball without being overly physical yet.  2030 RHP Michael Vazquez...

March 10 Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Lorenzo Carrier, OF, Pitt  The Pitt Panthers (12-2) are off to one of the best starts in recent program history and their offense has performed as one of the best in the country.  For the season, they are averaging almost 12-runs per game and on their recent trip to the West Coast, Lorenzo Carrier went on the kind of hot streak that is hard to comprehend.  The 6-5/215 senior from Bear, DE was a one-man wrecking crew in their 4-wins last week, starting with the fact that he reached base safely in 17 of his 19 trips to the plate.  He collected 13 hits in 14 official at-bats, scoring 10 runs, with 4 walks, 2 triples, 4 home runs and he drove in an insane 19-runs.  Carrier has refined his approach, simplified his bat path and is creating massive power that has him putting up career numbers.  For the season, he is...

The 2026 college baseball season is starting to reveal its early storylines, and across the Division II and Division III landscape a few programs have already forced their way into the spotlight. From the blistering start by the Pittsburg State Gorillas baseball that rocketed them to the top of the rankings, to the steadily rising championship ambitions of the Taylor Trojans baseball, the national picture is beginning to take shape. In Division III, heavyweight programs like the Trinity Tigers baseball and the Wisconsin–Whitewater Warhawks baseball have already traded blows in one of the season’s first statement series, while emerging challengers such as the Keene State Owls baseball are looking to turn early momentum into a breakout year. With many teams still just getting their seasons underway, the rankings remain fluid, but the early results are already giving us clues...

As we get rolling deeper into the spring here in the southern states, other states are only a few weeks away from their seasons beginning and some are even starting the day this will be posted. We’ve concluded the first major event on the high school schedule, the PG High School Showdown, and it was an epic weekend in Hoover. The event was littered with talent and these rankings reflect just that. St. John Bosco (CA) holds onto the first spot in this update and are being pushed by an IMG Academy (FL) team that’s 8-0 after winning the High School Showdown as well as beating two preseason top-10 teams in the first few weeks of the season. Orange Lutheran (CA) holds onto the No. 3 spot after a 1-0 start to the year and just a few weeks away from NHSI.
