PREP BASEBALL PROFILE
Every prospect's recruiting process starts and ends with the Prep Baseball Profile and our showcases revolve around that player profile. For first time attendees, a new Prep Baseball profile will be created, hosting all of your information, videos, head shot, metrics and more, making it one of your single most important tools in the recruiting process. Repeat showcase performances will continue to update your Prep Baseball profile, creating a history of prospect progress and ensuring the most up-to-date information is easily accessible throughout the fast-paced scouting community. These profiles are also searchable by a range of data points and metrics through our advanced search engine, making it a one stop shop for recruiters and scouts.

UNRIVALED SOCIAL MEDIA
All events ran by Prep Baseball Canada are also going to include the most active and unrivaled real-time social media in the country.

**ALL participants are NOT guaranteed to have a social media post. ALL social media post are left to the discretion of our staff or scouts.**

SHOWCASE SHIRT
All showcase prospects will receive a numbered Prep Baseball jersey.

STATS
Prep Baseball stats are the industry standard in the scouting community, carrying the highest credibility in actionable data. Prep Baseball profiles are the most reliable resources for prospect information due to this reason alone. Stats are collected using only the highest of standard equipment including Trackman and Stalker radars. All stats are hosted in player profiles accompanied by recently launched Performance Tiers that show where a prospect ranks among his peers.

VIDEO
All prospect performances will be professionally video taped, edited and uploaded into their Prep Baseball Profile within three to five weeks of the conclusion of an event. Videos will consist of multiple angles and record all aspects of the showcase including 60’s, live batting practice, and defensive performances. Videos are hosted in Prep Baseball Profiles and used for video spotlights, content, social media and more. Videos are accessible to all Prep Baseball+ subscribers.

SCOUTING REPORTS
The Prep Baseball Report is built at the hands of some of the most tenured and respected scouts in the industry. We pride ourselves on our level of prospect knowledge, most of which is gained through Prep Baseball events. Showcases are designed and engineered by state Scouting Directors with the goal of collecting as much information about a prospect as possible and relaying our findings to the public through data collection and scouting reports. 

POST-EVENT CONTENT
One of the many results of a Prep Baseball showcase is getting all the information collected to the public in a timely and digestible manner. Every showcase will be featured on the Prep Baseball Report website and social channels through various forms of post-event content, leaderboards, video spotlights and more. 

ACCOUNT DASHBOARD
In an effort to elevate the post-event experience for players who attend a Prep Baseball Showcase, the Account Dashboard is now your one stop shop to view all of your post-event deliverables, including your Video, TrackMan, and more.

TECH PACKAGE

WHAT IS PREP BASEBALL
My name is Brady Turner - I'm the Director of Prep Baseball Alberta. If you're unfamiliar with what we do, hopefully this provides some clarity.

We're the platform that populates your player's Prep Baseball profile whenever they choose to update it, and we have the opportunity to invite your kids to some really cool events in Georgia, Vegas, Florida and more. I'll use 2025 Barrie Baycat Ty McGuirk (Ontario) as an example.

Ty attended Barrie Scout Day in 2021 where we first saw him play. He came back to the Future Games Frenzy in June last summer, and received an invite to represent Canada at the Junior Future Games in Georgia that August, the best underclass event in two countries. He was one out away from throwing a no-hitter down there, and he's now recognized as one of the top prospects in Canada in his graduating (Grad) class. Sure, he may have attended an event later on, but we saw him early at Barrie Scout Day, and now we know who he is for the rest of his career. We recognized him early enough to afford him the opportunity to get to Georgia. Type his name into Twitter and it'll make sense.

How did that happen? Players attend our showcase events and their photos, numbers, stats, videos, metrics and reports are uploaded into the player's individual profile. Hundreds of college and professional scouts have access to that profile. From there, the players have the opportunity to be ranked provincially and nationally while also potentially receiving invites to other events across Canada and the U.S. (such as the Future Games) for the rest of their high school career.

With our Prep Baseball staff in attendance, we use social media (Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook) better than anyone to essentially make them famous. I use that terminology deliberately because the more people know who the players are, the larger their digital footprint becomes. The more we see the players (in-season and at events) the better educated we are when creating our rankings system.

Now they have a personal highlight reel online, and a Prep Baseball Profile that houses everything where colleges can click on to get the full picture, if they have interest. That's why our staff risks it all for the best angles.

I recommend that players attend events just enough to keep their profiles current.

That number is relative to the player and how he grows/develops, while he opens himself up to further opportunities.
