We are beyond excited to get our winter showcase schedule underway before we embark on another high school season here in the Empire State. Fast forwarding to the summer though is today's topic on the The Outer Black. This past fall we partnered with Champions Events, who will be making their foray into tournaments for age groups 13U through 17U. Champions Events, highly respected within the tourney world, will bring the proficiency of hosting and running events to the table allowing PBR-NY to do what we do best, scout players.

Below we will highlight the featured events that our boots-on-the-ground staff will be attending over the course of the summer. It is important to note that these are Champions Events' Tournaments that will be scouted by Prep Baseball Report- NY. All questions concerning the events themselves must be directed to Champions Events.
