The Top Prospect is held in the summer months when recruiting is at a frenzied pace, and are always held in open contact periods with the goal of providing a high-end event for class specific recruiting to college coaches. These events are historically well recruited across the country for one reason: the players. It provides a fresh look at prospects who fit the mold of playing at the next level, both in game play and showcase style events.

Top Prospect events are limited and built upon invitation only and generally geared towards a specific graduating class, helping college coaches who are looking to narrow their search. Rosters are comprised of the highest of ranked prospects in your prospective state, with invitations being issued from past event success, high school season accolades and more. Players can also request invitations through their individual state event page, by submitting highlights, statistics and more.

The event will begin with a position player showcase in the morning followed by game play in the afternoon. Pitchers will throw in the game against live hitters. 

The event is limited in the number of participants.  Pitchers will be evaluated/videoed during live game action. Rosters will be organized/built by specific positions to maximize playing time/exposure for each player. If you want to take advantage of this opportunity, please get your registration in as soon as possible, as roster spots are limited, both by total quantity and by position.
