JBS - FUTURE ACES

Two of the best young arms are stars of the 2025 class from North Jersey. Seton Hall Prep's MARCELO HARSCH drew raves over the summer, made a verbal commitment to Wake Forest and outstanding pitching coach Corey Muscara, and is poised to continue the long line of pitching excellence from the Non-Public powerhouse. Governor Livingston's MATTHEW DISKIN burst on to the scene a year ago, enjoyed a strong freshman season at the plate and on the mound, and maintained that spot over the summer. Ranked 1-2 by Perfect Game in the NJ 2025 class, these guys are locked in - and today's guests on a special episode of THE FUTURE.

JBS No. 1 Week - Crushing it from A to ZEE

Busy, hectic, exciting, incredible. Great words to describe the summer of New Jersey's top ranked 2025 star, Bergen Catholic's JAMIE ZEE. The North Jersey stud lit it up at the WWBA and then also PBR's Future Games and committed shortly thereafter to 2022 College World Series participant Notre Dame and new head coach Shawn Stiffler. No. 1 week concludes as we talk to Jamie, hear about the impact that the Wladyka program has had on his journey, talk about his love of the Yankees, leadership, Bergen Catholic, video games, and much more. Catch our interview with one of New Jersey's rising star NEXT.

2024 No. 1 BRYCE MECCAGE is DIALED IN

No. 1 week continues on JBS with the consensus Top ranked 2024 player in New Jersey. The Pennington School's Bryce Meccage is one of our favorite interviews, because the University of Virginia commit's interests are so diverse. Today we discuss his summer - from tourney trips to Florida and Georgia to the Area Code Games in San Diego and 10 days in Montana immediately following. We also check in on the Landscaping business and his boat and the Backyard Baseball Lab, as well as some time spent with his Uncle Justin, a highly regarded coach with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Check it out - another edition of JBS starts NEXT.

RYAN JAROS is out of this AREA CODE

We kick off No. 1 week with a look at the dude who spent most of 2022 as the top ranked player in New Jersey's Class of 2023. Ryan Jaros, the Cranford High third baseman and Georgia Tech commit, had an awesome summer on the travel circuit with the Canes National squad that dominated in major events. He spent a week at East Coast Pro down in Florida, living the life of a young minor leaguer and performing in front of numerous pro scouts. He turned in an impressive performance out in San Diego at the Area Code Games and topped it off with one of the best single moments at the event - a LOUD home run that got the attention of everyone. Ryan talks about all that and more - including his Last Dance coming up at Cranford this year. Great episode of JBS - and fantastic way to start the week.

YOUNG IS RESTLESS FOR SUCCESS - CHW's Jon Young Jr ready for more

It's been quite a 2022 for Cherry Hill West's Jon Young Jr. - starting with his verbal commitment to dream school UNC, continuing with a strong sophomore campaign for CHW, and moving forward with a strong summer on the circuit that saw Young emerge as perhaps the top hitting prospect in the Class of 2024. So what comes next for this South Jersey dude who will talk Phillies and Eagles with you all day? Find out as we sit down with the fiery middle infielder. Driven to be his best, Jon plans to work hard in the offseason to make 2023 even better! Hear those plans and more on this edition of JBS Back to School!

TATE THE GREAT - Summer leaves DeRias ready for more

A recent commit to "The U," Tate DeRias takes us through his incredible summer experience, which was highlighted by his trip to the Hank Aaron Invitational and appearance in the event's All-Star Game at Truist Park in Atlanta, and shown globally via the MLB Network. DeRias pitched a scoreless inning and struck out two. See his selfie with the legendary Ken Griffey Jr, learn about his commitment to the University of Miami, and hear about his plans for 2023 and beyond. We also get a special visit from one of Tate's best friends - Allentown HS star Jack Sweeney. DeRias is one of the top players nationally in the Class of 2024 and has a bright future, so we hope you enjoy this special edition of JBS.

MACK TOUGH - Landon Mack overcomes obstacles to emerge as one of NJ's best

Back to school week kicks off with a look at one of the premier 2024s in New Jersey. Bishop Eustace's Landon Mack used the summer to further his claim as one of the best two-way players you'll see, as he put up gaudy numbers at the plate AND on the bump in a number of key Perfect Game events. He truly emerged as a pitcher and became a reliable ace in both the spring and summer and last April made a verbal commitment to emerging power Rutgers and we know Coach Owens just loves Mack's competitive spirit. Landon also discusses his diagnosis at age 3 with Type 1 diabetes and tells us about the impact a former Eustace star - Minnesota Twins lefty Devin Smeltzer - had in his development. Check out Landon's story as we go Back to School on JBS!

THE FUTURE is now - Gable, Kroberger, Sofield start our 2025 profiles

September means a new school year. It also means it's time for the future, as we start our profiles with some of the top 2025 stars in New Jersey. Today we kick it off with three of South Jersey's finest rising sophomores, who accomplished big things in their freshman campaigns. Cherokee's Brett Gable came on strong and earned the victory as the Chiefs won the prestigious South Jersey Group 4 title. He followed that up with an awesome summer campaign and a verbal commitment to one of the Top 10 programs in the country in Virginia Tech. Chase Kroberger is an electric two-way at Moorestown HS, who can run in the 6.6s and bring it up to the high 80s on the mound. And Nate Sofield is a budding star catcher down at Pinelands. He's the Pitcher's Best Friend and a runner's worst nightmare with quick hands and pinpoint accuracy. Check these guys out - and get ready for a lot of fun following their dreams.

ACBL Year End Wrap Up Spectacular

We look back at the recently completed 2022 ACBL season. Historic year in the ACBL, as the league grew to 15 teams, played in two divisions. First-year Bergen Metros won the league title, with a strong roster of returning ACBL players and impressive newcomers. Ethan Young - who homered in all 3 rounds of the playoffs - comes on to share his thoughts on the Metros title. We also talk to Hitter of the Year Phil Bernstein (.473 batting average), Darrin Winston Pitcher of the year Joe Valenti (0.19 ERA), and Santy Gallone MVP/Slugger of the Year/Wolff Division Triple Crown winner Owen Petrich. Talented cast of characters for this episode! Check them out here.

He sits down with us to talk about some of the Garden State players who really impressed him during summer vacation.
