The 12u age group saw a match up of two of the best teams in the Southeast United States in the finals with Canes Baseball NC – Pirro going up against the SBA Nationals. There were several other outstanding games this weekend across the four USSSA sites. Here we briefly recap the weekend of games at the USSSA sites around North Carolina.
The 13u age group was another very difficult age group to sort out at the top with as many as 4-5 teams making a reasonable case for the top spot. 6 teams from North Carolina ended up in Perfect Game’s 13u national rankings or honorable mention list, which is a testament to just how strong this age group is in North Carolina. We chose Mission as our top team this past year because of their number of results against top competition and the consistency of their performance. They posted wins over teams ranked #2, 3, 4, 5 ,7, 8, and 9 in our North Carolina rankings, the only team with wins over that many teams in our top 10. Here we recap the 13u age group from 2019-2020.
The first big event of the fall season took placed this past weekend with the Perfect Game Coastal Fall Elite Championship. Team from 10u-12u competed, with some of the very best teams in North Carolina in action. We witnessed some great competition including one of the most anticipated match ups in a long time with 12u Canes Baseball NC – Pirro and the SBA Futures going at it. It turned out to be a great weekend for Showcase Baseball Academy, with their teams taking titles at 10u, 11u, and 12u. Here we recap the PG Coastal Fall Elite Championship from this past weekend.
The 12u age group was an extremely competitive age group at the top with 4 teams ranked in the top 26 of Perfect Game’s national 12u rankings, and 5 total teams in the top 100. Led by national #7, Rawlings Prospects NC, Dirtbags Black (#13), SBA Futures (#23), Canes Baseball NC – Foster (#26), and the NCDB Rivercats (#93) all made an appearance in PG’s national rankings. Although we had the teams in a slightly different order, there was no doubt the Rawlings Prospects were the top dog in this age group this past year. Here we recap an extremely competitive 12u age group in North Carolina.
No age group was more difficult to separate at the top than the 11u age group. 3 teams – the SBA Nationals, Park Sharon Nationals – Pirro, and the SBA Futures – separated themselves from the rest of the age group and battled it for the top spot all spring and summer. In the end, we chose the SBA Nationals as our #1 team after they posted winning record against both our #2 and #3 teams. There were also a number of outstanding seasons by other teams, and here we recap one of the most competitive age groups in North Carolina this year.

The 10u age groups witnessed one of the most dominate seasons by any team in any age group this season with the performance of #1 SBA Futures. They were followed closely but other nationally competitive teams (Dirtbags Black, Fungo – Piscorik) and perhaps more than any other age groups, the top 10-15 teams separated themselves from the rest of the age group. Here we recap a great year in the 10u age group.
As expected in the 8u age group, much can change from fall to spring. The MARA Mavericks finished as our #1 team after posting an undefeated 17-0 record this past year. While the COVID pandemic shortened seasons for many teams, we were still able to observe a lot of great baseball in this age groups. Here we recap our final 8u rankings for the 2019-2020 seasons.
