The summer has kicked off at the nation’s top baseball venue for amateur athletes. LakePoint is hosting the PBR National Program Invitational (NPI). Thursday saw day 1 action across the 15U, 16U, and 17U events. Pool play opens the event with an eventual champion named through bracket play.
Below we take a look at the action from day 1 with players and teams from Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina.
South Charlotte Panthers win on day 1. Sam Cozart (2025, Wesleyan Christian, NC) & Tyler Baird (2025, Hough HS, NC) combine to shutout US Nationals Scout. Cozart punched 11 in 4.1 innings. Baird followed with 5 of his own in 2.2 innings of work. John Lash (2025, Charlotte Christian, NC) paced the offense with 2 hits and a run scored in the 3-0 final

Feel for spin both CB (69-72) & firmer SL (79-80). Flashed slower CH 72
