2024 PBT East Cup: Standouts
June 19, 2024
This past weekend teams across the Sunshine State descended upon IMG Academy for the 2024 East Cup. Three champions were crowned: Ballers 2027 in the 15U division, Ostingers 2026 Macaluso in 16U, and Top Tier Roos American 2025 in 17U. Over the course of four days, we had plenty of talented players making plays, getting big hits, and coming through in big moments for their respective teams.
Below will be a compilation of some of the standouts from the weekend.
