🏆 LEGEND OF THE YEAR: BROOKS BURROUGH 🏆

Being named Legend of the Year is about much more than talent. It means representing everything we want a Legend to be: a hard worker, a great teammate, a leader, a coachable player, and someone who genuinely loves the game.

Brooks Burrough is all of those things and he has developed into one heck of a baseball player!

Here is a fun story: Two years ago, Brooks was actually being considered to be let go from a not-so-good, up-and-coming 8U team. And if we are being completely honest, he was not exactly great at that point. 😂

Two years later, he is one of the best players on a high-caliber team and helping lead that team to championships.

Brooks has become an absolute defensive juggernaut at shortstop. His range, quick hands, arm strength, and ability to make difficult plays look routine set him apart. There are not many balls hit to his side of the field that he cannot get to. He may not be doing backflips yet, but with the way he flashes the leather at shortstop, he is almost ready to borrow Ozzie Smith’s nickname “The Wizard.”

He is also becoming one of the most dangerous and fastest-improving hitters around. Brooks has an advanced eye at the plate, understands the strike zone, and rarely gives away an at-bat. His disciplined approach, bat-to-ball ability, and growing confidence make him an extremely tough out. He does not just swing, he has a plan.

Brooks is a difference-maker on both sides of the ball, but what makes him truly special is that he remains a team-first player. He does whatever is asked of him, competes every pitch, and puts winning ahead of personal recognition. He does all of this despite the fact that he only has Josh Burrough as a father. Talk about overcoming!

This kind of improvement does not happen by accident. It comes from countless hours of work, tremendous discipline, coachability, and a genuine love for baseball. Brooks has earned every bit of the player he has become, and the exciting part is that he is still getting better.

He is a star in the making, and we could not be prouder that he puts in all this work while representing Legends the right way.

Congratulations to our Legend of the Year, Brooks Burrough!

🎵 This is how Legends are made. 🎵

🏆 2025/2026 LEGENDS COACH OF THE YEAR: DANIEL THOMPSON 🏆

This whole thing is built around great coaching.

I believed that when we started Legends, but after watching these teams grow, compete, struggle, improve, win, and become families, I KNOW it now.

And great coaching is not just the guy whose name is at the top of the roster. It has to run from the top down.

Great assistant coaches are imperative. They teach. They encourage. They hold kids accountable. They notice the little things. They pick a kid up when he needs it and push him when he needs that instead. And one of the marks of a great head coach is knowing how to surround himself with great people.

Daniel Thompson has done exactly that.

I love watching this staff coach these boys. They know how to motivate them, demand something from them, and still love on them when that is what the moment calls for.

Now, with that being said, not everybody is built for ALLLLLL the stuff that comes with being the Head Coach.

Ryan. 😉

Today, though, is about honoring the guy who I think has done an absolutely phenomenal job from top to bottom.

Daniel has been a spiritual leader.

He has been a motivator.

He has assembled a great coaching staff.

He has handled tough situations head-on instead of running from them.

He has built relationships with these kids and families.

And somewhere along the way, he turned a group of boys into some straight-up DAWGS on the baseball field.

STATE CHAMPIONSHIP? CHECK. ✅

I started Legends believing that coaches were the key to building great teams. Now I believe it to be an absolute certainty.

A team can only go as far as its leadership can take it.

Heck, the coach is driving the bus.

And with Daniel, everything starts with something much more important than baseball.

He is a good man.

When I recruited him, I knew two things: the guy knew ball, and he was a good dude.

What did I get?

Exactly that.

He has not disappointed.

There is an old lesson that says when somebody shows you who they are, believe them. Daniel has shown us over and over again exactly who he is.

And here's another one:

If the trajectory is going up, BUY STOCK. 📈

Because I am buying all the stock I can get in Legends Select 9U.

The talent is there.
The coaching is there.
The culture is there.
The work is there.
And now the results are starting to show everybody else what some of us already knew.

The sky is the limit for this group, and I, for one, believe the ascent to the very top of this sport starts NOW.

Congratulations to our 2025/2026 Legends Coach of the Year, Daniel Thompson.

You earned it, Coach. Keep driving. 🔥⚾️

🏆 COMEBACK PLAYER OF THE YEAR — PEYTON BURGET 🏆

Calling Peyton Burget’s journey a “comeback” almost doesn’t do it justice.

In the fall of 2025, Peyton suffered a severe tibia-fibula break in Murfreesboro and had to be med-flighted to Arkansas Children’s Hospital. He endured two hours without pain medication before undergoing the first of multiple surgeries, where two rods were inserted into his leg to hold everything in place while the bones healed.

What followed was an incredibly difficult road:

• Two months confined to a recliner before he could return to school
• Three months in a full-leg cast
• Two months in a short-leg cast
• Two more months in a walking boot

Then—just TWO WEEKS after the boot came off—Peyton was back on the diamond!

He didn’t simply return, either. Peyton made an impact while still playing with the rods in his leg. On July 10, he underwent his final surgery to have that hardware removed, and now he is looking forward to a full season of work with no restrictions.

The Comeback Player of the Year Award is about resilience, courage, determination and refusing to allow difficult circumstances to define you. Peyton displayed every one of those qualities.

After everything this young man endured, just seeing him step back onto the field would have been a victory. Watching him compete and contribute made it something truly special.

Congratulations to our Comeback Player of the Year, Peyton Burget! Your toughness and determination are what being a Legend is all about!
