2008 Northeast All Star Games
Perfect Game Northeast has announced the date for the 2008
Northeast All Star Games (Formerly Top Prospect Games). On August 29,
2008, the top players from
the 2009 and 2010 graduation classes that participated in the Northeast State
Showcases, Northeast Regional Showcases, and Northeast Tournaments will
be selected to participate in the 2008 Northeast All Star Games.
The games will take place at Alumni Diamond on the campus of
Fairfield University in Fairfield, Connecticut. There will be four teams
at the event, New England, New York, Mid Atlantic, and 2010 Northeast. Each team will take
batting practice, infield/outfield, and play a 10 inning game. Rosters of the four teams
will be listed on the Perfect Game
Northeast website. Each team’s roster listing will include each player's
hometown, high school, and high school coach.
Each team will be coached by two major league scouts. Every
major league team and over 300 college coaches will be invited to attend
the 2008 Northeast All Star Games. This should be an exciting day as
this promises to be a who’s who of Northeast baseballs' 2009 and 2010 graduating
classes.
