CWS Finals Recaps: Vanderbilt finishes 2019 on top | Rocker, Vandy even CWS Finals | Michigan takes CWS Finals lead
2019 Honors: Rutschman named College POY | College All-Americans | Freshman All-Americans

Vanderbilt capped off an incredible season with a 8-2 win over Michigan in game three off the College World Series Finals, which was their 59th win of the season and 10th of the postseason. They were the regular season champions in the SEC and also captured the SEC Tournament title, beating each and every one of the 13 other SEC teams during the season – 10 during the regular season and three more at the SEC Tournament (with another win over Mississippi State in Omaha for good measure). It was their second national championship in six years, also winning it all in 2014 while finishing 2015 as the CWS runner-up.

The Commodores were never ranked lower than seventh in the week-by-week Top 25 teams rankings and finished the year 35-4 after their series loss to Georgia in early April, only one of two weekend series losses (Texas A&M in March) the team suffered.

The bad news for the rest of the teams in the SEC (and the nation) is that Vanderbilt will be returning an incredible amount of talent to next year's squad in an attempt to make it back-to-back national championships. This year's CWS Most Outstanding Player, Kumar Rocker, is only a freshman, and he and sophomore Mason Hickman will form a lethal 1-2 tandem in the weekend rotation. Bullpen-mates Tyler Brown and Jake Eder are sophomores, as are three of their more productive hitters, Austin Martin, Philip Clarke and Pat DeMarco (although Clarke and DeMarco were taken in this year's draft as age-eligible sophomores and it's yet to be determined if they'll sign).

And Vanderbilt will welcome another strong recruiting class, ranked first in the nation before this year's draft.

Michigan may not have the same amount of returning talent but they should be commended for their particularly inspiring season finishing as the College World Series national runner-up. It was a positive sign for college baseball to have so many different teams from so many different conferences and parts of the country represented in Omaha. Four different Power 5 conferences were represented among the final four teams as a team from the SEC (Vanderbilt), ACC (Louisville), Big 12 (Texas Tech) and Big Ten (Michigan) all had the opportunity to advance to the CWS Finals.

That list doesn't include the Pac-12, a conference represented by their regular season champion UCLA; the Bruins spent the last 11 weeks of the regular season as the No. 1 team and entered the postseason as the No. 1 National Seed. UCLA finishes the year ranked seventh despite not making it to the College World Series. Stanford gives the Pac-12 a second Top 10-ranked team to close out the season after enjoying a successful year of their own.

All eight teams that made it to Omaha – Vanderbilt, Michigan, Mississippi State, Louisville, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Floria State and Auburn – were ranked in the Preseason Top 25.

Congratulations to all of the players, coaches and teams overall on successful 2019 seasons. And thanks to you, our readers, for following along all season long. We look forward to doing it all over again next year.

California All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

The 2026 class is one of the best in recent memory for the state of California, with 18 players ranking among the top 100 in the Perfect Game national rankings. Three PG All-Americans, IF Trey Ebel, OF Isaiah Hearn and RHP Logan Georges were all edged out of places on the California All-Region Team as a result. And although the 2027 class doesn’t look as deep, it does feature three Top Six players in SS Dylan Seward, LHP Jared Grindlinger and SS Carter Hadnot. Not surprisingly, California high schools are very well represented in the Perfect Game Pre-Season Top 50 rankings, particularly with 2025 Trinity League champion St. John Bosco beginning the season as the top ranked team in the country. A very deep Orange Lutheran squad holds down the third spot in the rankings, with 12th ranked De La Salle being the top team from Northern California. Corona (17th),...

PG Draft: Mid-Major Picks to Click

Tyler Henninger

While Power 4 prospects tend to soak up the bulk of the industry buzz, there’s plenty of legitimate talent lurking at the mid-major level. These are competitive programs that are loaded with players who have real tools, physicality, and performance track records that translate beyond their conference. Below are nine mid-major prospects we expect evaluators to be in early and often on this spring. Ethan Norby, LHP, East Carolina (Rank: 155) Norby is an undersized left-hander, but has produced strong numbers over two years at ECU. The left-hander has produced a 3.80 ERA with 182 strikeouts over 149 1/3 innings. While the velocity does not stand out, Norby can still miss bats with the heater. It works in the low-90’s and creeps towards 95 mph at times. Quality extension for his size and high spin allow that offering to get on hitters, resulting in weak contact as well as whiffs....

Georgia HS All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley

Georgia has its usual depth of high-level athletes and Perfect Game All-Americans, although three 2027 players did make the All-Region team. There are an unusual number of two-way prospects among the All-Region players, a testament to the big arms that the state has right now. Two Georgia high schools are ranked in the top 10 of the PG Pre-Season High School Top 50 rankings and the Georgia high school ranks are annually among the most competitive in the country. Etowah is the highest ranked team at 5th overall, while Blessed Trinity Catholic checks in at 8th. Parkview is the only other Georgia team in the top 50, holding down the 34th spot. OF-RHP Dexter McCleon Jr will be fixture on the Georgia All-Region team for the next two years but the top ranked prospect in the 2028 class will have to take a back seat to his elders this year. McCleon’s absurd...

Baseball Meets Hollywood For Great Cause

Jim Salisbury

BASEBALL MEETS HOLLYWOOD FOR A GREAT CAUSE There’s no crying in baseball, but there is laughing, and there was lots and lots of it -- for a great cause -- last Saturday night in Hollywood, California. Perfect Game and its Believe in Baseball Foundation assembled a star-studded cast of comics and guests for the inaugural “In the Spirit of the Game” dinner and auction. The event was held at the iconic Laugh Factory, a historic venue that, in baseball terms, would be equivalent to Dodger Stadium or Wrigley Field. Late-night superstar Jay Leno took a turn on stage. So did comedic aces Tiffany Haddish, Nikki Glaser, Dustin Ybarra and Gary Cannon. “It was 4 ½ hours of straight laughter,” said PG commissioner Dennis Gilbert, still beaming a couple of days later. “It was a really nice success.” No one kept score at the event, but...
