The Amateur Baseball Report and AAA Baseball are bringing exciting new opportunities to our region.  This Spring, ABR will be conducting Prospect ID Camps throughout our area.  Each ID camp will offer a pro-style 5-tool skills evaluation: hitting, fielding, speed, power, and arm strength.  ABR Prospect ID Camps are designed to identify the top players in the nation.  All the ABR Prospect ID Camps held around the country will put players through the same workout to ensure players are equally evaluated.  ABR Prospect ID Camps are the foundation for the top top "National ABR Player Rankings" which are released in the fall issue of the ABR magazine.  Individual skill rankings are available at amateurbaseballreport.com.

This year AAA Baseball and ABR will only be offering "Invite Only" Prospect ID Camps.

Invitational Prospect ID Camps
These camps are only open to players who have received an invitation from ABR.  Invitations will be sent to the top players in the state.  If you think you are one of these elite players, make sure your coach submits a nomination form.   These camps will provide a pro-style evaluation with the addition of a controlled scrimmage game. 

Reasons to Attend

• The road to becoming an All-American starts here! - The top players identified throughout the surrounding areas will be invited to attend an ABR Regional Tryout for the USSSA All-American Games.    Four players from our region earned All-Amercian honors in 2010.  See "It Could Happen To You" for more details.
