Event Information
The Iowa Select Teams started in the fall of 2005 as an addition to the Iowa Fall League.  Since the state of Iowa has summer high school baseball, Iowa players are not able to play travel baseball throughout the summer months. The fall is the time of the year where an Iowa high school player can play travel baseball against the best competition from across the country while continuing to develop and showcase their talents to both college and pro scouts. This is a great opportunity for our in-state athletes to prepare for their next chapter in baseball, the greatest game on earth. We want these kids to have an avenue in whatever capacity it may be. High School, DI, DII, DIII, NAIA, or Juco. If playing baseball in college is your goal, we want to help you achieve it. 

Iowa Select teams will be involved in our top tournaments throughout the fall. Our teams will play in the Kernels Foundation Tournament, WWBA Midwest Underclass Qualifier, WWBA Midwest Freshman Championship, WWBA Midwest Sophomore Championship, WWBA Freshman World Championship, WWBA Sophomore World Championship, WWBA Underclass World Championship, and the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, FL -the largest scouting event in all amateur baseball. The WWBA events in Florida will be an invite only event where our scouts will hand pick teams to attend. 

When you look at the results, no other organization can compete with what the PG Iowa Select Team alumni have accomplished. Since its inception in 2005, there have been over 200 players drafted, 495 former players go on to play at the Division 1 level, 77 at the Division 2 level, 300 at the Junior College level and 23 big leaguers with more on the way! These tourneys will be wood bat only.

Perfect Game is an organization that defined an industry and remains baseball’s most respected scouting report service.

Perfect Game provides showcases, tournaments, online video, national rankings, player profiles, scouting reports and college and professional opportunities to the nation’s top prospects and their families.

Where talent goes, professional scouts and top college recruiters are sure to follow, and Perfect Game can offer the best in baseball increased exposure, insight and professionalism to propel them through their baseball careers.

Roy Clark: "Jerry (Ford) and his staff do an outstanding job. We feel that they put on, and it’s not even close, the best showcases and tournaments of anybody. They’re so well organized. Jerry has tremendous knowledge of scouting. They have a lot of former professional and college baseball people in their organization.

"Since they put on the best showcases and tournaments, naturally they’re going to get the best players. We are pretty much a high-school oriented organization, so where the best players go, we will be there. We have sometimes up to 10 or 11 scouts covering Perfect Game events. It gives athletes the chance to compete at the highest level of their age group, in a team or showcase format, in some of the best facilities in front of both colleges and scouts.

"They’re (Perfect Game) the best, and the top colleges and the highest level scouts know it."

Perfect Game set a new record for the tenth consecutive year following the 2011 MLB draft. Of the 1,530 players selected, 1,323 had attended a Perfect Game event, and 294 of the first 331 picks were Perfect Game alumni. Many of these alumni had participated in multiple Perfect Game tournaments, showcases and/or leagues.

In the past ten years, 9,073 Perfect Game participants have been chosen in the MLB First-Year Player Draft. However, these figures do not account for the many Latin American free agents who participate in Perfect Game showcases and tournaments and then sign with Major League clubs. One can only imagine how many Perfect Game alumni will ultimately reach their dream of playing Major League Baseball down the road.

Perfect Game does not take any credit for the numerous outstanding players selected in the draft or the many more who go on to play college baseball. Perfect Game simply provides talented players a means to be identified and evaluated closely while competing with and against the best worldwide. Perfect Game identifies players, provides an opinion, and then lets Major League scouts and college coaches form their own.

MLB scouts and college coaches make the most important decisions, and luckily, they follow what we do very closely - not only in person, but online as well.

PERFECT GAME HISTORY

The Perfect Game network began in 1993 with a vision from former scout and college coach Jerry Ford.

That vision was simple: "To give young players the best opportunity for success, to help scouts and recruiters see and evaluate these players, and to promote the game of baseball at all levels".

Perfect Game has been hosting elite amateur events all over the country since 1997.

Talk about credibility and reputation.
