Event Name: Midwest Underclass Showcase

Event Type: Showcase

Site: University of Illinois Chicago - Chicago, Illinois

Date: August 9-11th, 2004

Last year’s Underclass Showcases were a huge benefit to many excellent underclassmen prospects. In fact many of those listed on the Top 04 and 05 Prospects list in Baseball America and Prospects Plus attended last year’s Underclass showcases. The Top Prospect games that were played at the conclusion of last year’s Underclass Showcases had some of the best talent in America.. Many of these players have the chance of being high draft picks and most are high level Division One prospects.

The Underclass Showcases were started due to many requests from Major League Scouting Departments and top College programs. They are very interested in tracking young players for future recruiting and the MLB draft. The more they know about these players the more secure they feel about investing their money. Scouts and recruiters don’t have the time to scour the country looking for underclassmen. That is why Perfect Game’s Underclass events have become so important.
 

All players that attend the Underclass Showcase will be profiled on the popular Perfect Game Website. The best players will be ranked nationally by Baseball America and Prospects Plus and will become the most well known and most sought after baseball prospects in the future. Underclass Showcases will end with a two team Top Prospect Game comprised of the top prospects from the events. The Top Prospect teams will be selected by PG Staff & other scouts at the event.

If a player is truly a prospect, everyone will soon know who he is. Perfect Game reports to all 30 major league scouting departments and every top level college in America. Due to the demand created by last year’s successful events and the fact that most top players who are still underclassmen plan to attend again this year, it is vitally important that players sign up ASAP. All of last year’s showcases were full and we will definitely have to turn players down again once the event is filled up. This is a great opportunity for those who have baseball talent.

Perfect Game is recognized as the leader in helping talented young players receive maximum exposure. PG is regarded as baseball’s largest and premier scouting service and the very best at running first class events. Perfect Game works closely with Baseball America (Prospects Plus), all 30 Major League clubs, USA Baseball, and over 1000 colleges nationwide.
