WEEK OF MAY 25
(NCAA)
- In Florida’s dominant 22-10 victory over Miami on Saturday night, catcher Karson Bowen (2016 12U, 2018 15U, 2021 18U) shined on offense, recording his second two-homer game this season. He went 4-for-5 on the night, scoring three runs and batting in five. His plate discipline came in clutch for the Gators in the sixth when he drew the go-ahead walk that led to Florida’s late offensive explosion.
- Through Texas A&M’s first three games of the College Station Regional, junior Gavin Grahovac (2022 18U, 2024 CNT) has been a key piece of the Aggies’ offense, driving in six runs with four hits, three RBIs, and three home runs. Grahovac’s most recent home run brought his career total to 47, tying for the fourth-most in program history.
- Striking out a career-high 10 batters over 6.2 innings, Oregon State’s Eric Segura (2024 CNT) allowed just three hits and one run to help keep the Beavers alive in the Eugene Regional. Segura faced the minimum through 3.1 innings and threw six shutout innings.
- Leading the Crimson Tide to its first Super Regional appearance since 2023, Alabama’s Justin Lebron (2024 CNT) played a major role in their success. The junior blasted a three-run shot to add to their dominant 21-3 opening win over Alabama State and hit another home run in their second game, a 7-5 victory over USC Upstate, going 3-for-5 at the plate with the solo shot and two RBIs. Defensively, he made four out of five putouts, with two of the four resulting in double plays. Lebron was named to the 2026 NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional All-Tournament Team and stretched his on-base streak to 13 consecutive games.
(PRO)
- The crowd chanted “overrated” at Pete Crow Armstrong (2014 12U, 2017 15U, 2018 & 2019 18U, 2026 WBC) when he stepped up to the plate against the Cardinals on Saturday night, but they quickly fell silent when he launched a 444-foot homerun into the right field stands. PCA went 4-for-5 on the night, tallying two runs scored and two RBIs in the Cubs 6-1 victory.
- Gunnar Henderson (2026 WBC) launched two homers against the Rays en route to a 11-2 win. The Orioles’ shortstop ended the game 2-for-4 with three RBIs. In the following series, Henderson went 2-for-5 in another win including a double and an RBI to help tie the series against divisional rival Toronto Blue Jays.
- Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe (2013 12U, 2016 15U, 2018 18U) notched his first home run of the season on Tuesday night in the Yankees 15-1 victory over the Royals. Volpe had a strong night at the plate tallying three hits, scoring three runs and batting in two. On Sunday, the Yankees recorded their highest scoring inning in 21 years, scoring 13 in the third against the Athletics. Volpe contributed to the scoring, adding two singles, two runs and an RBI.
- The Seattle Mariners are riding a six-game win streak, in part due to Colt Emerson (2017 12U, 2022 18U) and his performances throughout the past two series sweeps. Against the Athletics, Emerson went 2-for-4 in the final game of the series, including his first career triple, he also tacked on two RBIs and a run. He hit his second career homer in 13 games as a pro against the Diamondbacks.
- Kevin McGonigle (2022 18U) went 5-for-11 in the Tigers series against the Angels. His three-hit game in the series opener included his third triple of the year. In the Tigers 4-0 win in the second matchup, McGonigle went 2-for-3 with two runs and a pair of runs.
- Pete Alonso (2023 WBC) knocked a bases-loaded walkoff single in the ninth against the Blue Jays on Saturday, leading the Orioles to a 6-5 victory. Earlier in the week, Polar Bear Pete recorded his second three-hit game of the season as Baltimore defeated the Rays in a 9-7 come-from-behind victory in the 13th.
- En route to a 19-6 demolition over the Rockies, Bryce Eldridge (2022 18U) had a monster game, going 4-for-6 with four runs, two doubles, a homer and an RBI. Eldridge recorded a double in all three games of the series against Colorado.
- Bryan Reynolds (2014 CNT) of the Pittsburgh Pirates had a strong week at the plate, hitting .478 with eight runs, 11 hits, two home runs, four doubles, and six RBIs in his 23 at-bats. The Collegiate National Team alum’s biggest moment of the week came as he hit a two-run walk-off winner against the visiting Minnesota Twins on Friday, May 29. It was his second home run in as many days and his sixth of the season.
