Baseball Instructional Showcases are phenomenal opportunites for a player to promote himself by demonstrating his baseball talents for many colleges, universities and professional organizations at ONE location. Players are evaluated in their position(s) and performance results are posted while at the showcase. Many players each year are recruited and placed in an appropriate playing level college program as a direct result of their performance at a Baseball Instructional Showcase.

How our showcases promote the player
The format of the Baseball Instructional Showcase is designed with the player in mind. On Saturday the players will "showcase" their talents in a professional style workout. They will be timed in the 60 yd. dash, hit, field and throw from their positions. Recruiters from all levels of play (Div. I, II, III, NAIA, Junior College and Professional) will be on the field timing and evaluating each players' abilities.
Players who play a field position as their primary position and pitch as their secondary position will have the opportunity to throw in the bull pen on Saturday. Their radar gun times will be displayed, recorded and posted on Sunday for all recruitiers in attendance.
All players will also play in one game. This gives recruiters an opportunity to further evaluate each player in live playing situations. Game play does not receive evaluations. This display is subjective with each coach making their own notes based on their preferences in a player as well as their specific programs stlye and needs.
Saturday and Sunday schedules will be available at check in for players and parents.
Players who are Pitch Only players can throw in the bull pen on Saturday if desired. However, the pitching slots for games have been reserved specifically for the pitch only players. There is also a pitching arm care segment for pitch only players, as well as secondary pitchers, on the schedule for Saturday afternoon. Specific time on schedule received at check in.
