Video Interviews: PGF Senior High School All-American Game MVP Joie Economides (July 28, 2024)

The PGF Seniors and Futures All-American Games were played Saturday (July 27, 2024) after the 16U and 18U National Champions were crowned (the Mojo-Lewis and Birmingham Thunderbolts – Rocky teams, respectively.

There was one just home run hit between the two games and, wow, was it a “no-doubter!”  Bret Denio of PGF estimated it was 230 feet as the fence at Bill Barber Park in Irvine, Calif. is 220.

That smash was hit in the top of the second inning by Joie Economides, a 2024 graduate signed with Stanford, and ended up being the difference as her West team defeated the East 2-1. 

Here’s the clip from the family and you have to LOVE their reactions!

Joie signed with Stanford last November, one of five talented players signed by Head Coach Jessica Allister.

Here’s the bio released at that time on Joie:
