PREPARING FOR THE EVENT

TYPICAL SCHEDULE, DAY 1

Day 1 typically includes physical assessments, offensive and defensive showcases and verified measurable workouts (including 60-yard dash, exit velocity, pop time), recruiting roadmap seminar, live batting practice and bullpens.

TYPICAL SCHEDULE, DAY 2

Report times will be based on team assignments and will be communicated 7-10 days before the event via email. Each player will play one 2.5 hour simulated game coaches by college coaches in the dugouts. The game times are typically 8am, 10:30am, 1pm and 3:30pm and we have each team show up one hour before their game time for warm ups. We do our best to accommodate player's travel schedules.

ARRIVAL TIME & CHECK-IN

Players should plan to arrive for check-in between 8:00 and 8:30am on the first day of the event.  All players will be checked in and given a numbered jersey to wear during the event.

INFORMATION FOR PITCHERS

Primary pitchers should be prepared to throw both days, but with the hectic throwing schedules we encourage them to be prepared more importantly for the second day. The first day they will be throwing a 15-20 pitch bullpen and will have pitching instruction.

Pitcher-Only’s do not hit or play a position during the event. The second day they are throwing 20-25 pitches in a live game. If primary pitchers, for any reason, would rather throw only one inning (or not throw on a certain day), our staff will help assist in making the adjustment.
