Tennessee PRESEASON I.D.

The Showtime Sports Academy has even a staple of the PBR TN winter showcase circuit, and they will host our opening event, the TN Preseason ID. Our ID series in 2020 helped our staff identify some hidden gems in Tennessee,  helping produce 20 commits.  ID events are designed for players seeking confirmed statistics and quality video to put your name on the radar heading into the HS season.  ID events play a critical part in identifying little known talent and earning invitations to top select events, such as PBR Future Games and TN/KY Border Battle.  This event is open to all high school prospects and nearly at full capacity.

PBR Super 60 (Franklin,WI)

This is the 19th Annual Super 60 Pro Showcase.

This prestigious, invitation-only event features only the top draft prospects in the Prep Baseball Report’s expansive coverage area. Over the last 18 years, the Super 60 has become the most heavily scouted preseason event for potential draft picks. The primary purpose of the Super 60 is to give professional area scouts, cross-checkers and scouting directors a head start to the high school season. The event is for draft-eligible Class of 2021 prospects. 

Last year, over 100 professional scouts of all levels were in attendance. Most Major League teams had 4-6 scouts of all levels in attendance. Since the event’s inception in 2003, more than 300 players have been selected in the MLB Draft, including 22 first-round picks and 25 second-rounders.
