5 years ago my son and his team played in the PG 13U National Championships in Georgia. His team was talented and had some good wins, but ended up losing to some of the higher ranked teams. My son was talented, strong and fast, but undersized. He was easily the best player in his city at 13U, but when high school came around, many of those smaller kids he used to dominate were now 6 1" to 6 3" tall and suddenly grew into their " man bodies"and he remained at 5 5" tall. Blame his fathers genetics I guess. While he could still compete, as far as recruiting, simply did not project. He was Varsity as a freshman, 4 year Varsity player overall, but was simply too short. Your kid could be a phenomenal player, but at the end of the day, if he doesn't have the size, his chances of playing after high school are slim. He did play at a local JUCO for a semester, but decided at the end of the day, it wasn't worth it. I still admire these kids who are able to live out their dreams. It was a great experience for him regardless and the memories and friends he gained are priceless. A handful of his former teammates went on to play D1 baseball.
No doubt these kids are some of the best for their age in the country I wonder tho how many other kids at their level who can’t compete because of not being able to afford to play on these teams and the travel price. I guess if there are kids that are this good coaches would help out with the financial side of things I would hope. Interested in how that works because I’m sure there’s some kids like that out there.
That's the biggest problem with youth sports. So many kids go unnoticed. You could have the next babe Ruth mickey mantle the next Randy Johnson. We'll never know. My nephew is good enough at hockey to make the travel team. But gear gas hotel food makes it impossible when the kids and parents can't afford it. in all honesty the travel league should have those fees reimburseable from their budget. Or don't offer travel at all.
to be highly ranked in baseball being great isn’t enough you have to be rich have parents who sacrifice everything for you and you usually need to be abnormally large for your age
These guys are 13 holy shiiit. What dimensions are the fields they play on? As far as bases and pitching distance? Also what is the deal with these towels in their back pockets? Swag?
yeah dude these days there isn’t anyone who’s good who isn’t playing the highest level. If players can’t afford opportunities, opportunities are paid for.
people are saying there are 14 year olds playing 13u in travel ball or if it is travel ball the cutoff date is a lot weirder making it so 14 year olds can still play 13u.
i kno a 13 y/o who's amongst the best but couldn't be there... London Wilson out of VA!! c/o 28. Hits tanks!!! Check him out. These kids are all doing great things! Keep pushing young men!
Most are man. All they care about is offense at these things. So many great catchers go overlooked and so many below average catchers get the looks. 🤷🏽♂️
The best? Lmao yeah idk about that. How bout we change title to. Most fortunate 13year old baseball players. There families are well off. Come to my small town in Illinois and I’ll put my $ on my boys any day. We grind over here no flash no gimmicks all hunger and hustle. 💪💛
Y’all realize you don’t have to get a offer to commit to a college I can say I’m 13 I’m gonna commit to Alabama to matter what that’s committing to a college.

Good luck to you & your Nephew mate @@Techprep23
Unfortunately this is true
to be highly ranked in baseball being great isn’t enough you have to be rich have parents who sacrifice everything for you and you usually need to be abnormally large for your age
@@loganwolfe659also more than likely half these kids are held back and play down their actual age
Is it okay if you start putting how fast the pitches are. You don’t have to🤩
The elbow guard they use its G sports??? Bc its so COOL
Bruh at 13 I was still on some cartoons. Baseball was just something to do in down time. Ain't nobody thinking about college
These guys are 13 holy shiiit. What dimensions are the fields they play on? As far as bases and pitching distance? Also what is the deal with these towels in their back pockets? Swag?
What about Pottstown bud😂
2027 grad is like 15 years old...right?
there’s no way 13 year old are already committed to LSU
Verbal commitments only...that hold no legal value.
well they just changed the rules so they can’t commit before august 1st before junior year

Ong
you actin like he’s not the 3rd best player in the country 😐
These are the best? Because PG says so? Could the actual best not afford to get up to this particular event?
That is true for some of the kids not at this event but also some of these are the best I've seen them in person they're pretty amazing
some of them are really good. some aren't, they are just bigger and stronger than everyone else currently.
im tired of this bullshit argument if you aren't playing in pg tournaments your not playing against the best
@@edwardhanlon5493that’s not really true
yeah dude these days there isn’t anyone who’s good who isn’t playing the highest level. If players can’t afford opportunities, opportunities are paid for.
levi is him
“Best 13 year old is the country” meanwhile all of them are 14 and a 1/2 check their pg profiles
There goin Going into 14u
And have a late bday
My kid is 14u and as of nov 2024 and he is 13.5, 2028. You can’t be a 13u 2027.
people are saying there are 14 year olds playing 13u in travel ball or if it is travel ball the cutoff date is a lot weirder making it so 14 year olds can still play 13u.

If you love baseball 👇
