USA Baseball Announces Inaugural "Prospect Classic"

docsilvey · Jun 10, 2011

USA Baseball announced yesterday the inaugural Prospect Classic. Consists of a 2-game series between the 18U & Collegiate Teams. How many scouts are going to be at those games? Series runs July 1st-2nd in NC. I posted the press release at the link below...

Doc...I was the only one who responded when JP posted this yesterday...therefore I'm obligated to post here.

Looking forward to it, and it's about time they did something like this. The Collegiate and 18U teams are both full of "equals" regardless of age o it makes perfect sense. It would have been great to see some of the young 18U players like Almora play against the Collegiate guys at 16 just to see where they actually are.

I wonder if we'll see the 16U team take on the 14U team someday.

That's silly.

18u vs. 16u is a better match-up physically.

If you saw the difference between a 14-yo and 16-yo you would understand.

What I wish is that the Collegiate Team would play some games closer to Philly! Every year it's New England and North Carolina

Well...USA Baseball is located here in NC, and their new (2-3 year old) facility is amazing. Offices in Durham NC, National Training Complex in Cary NC.

Plus, Cary/Durham is "only" about a 7-8 hour ride right? Same with Boston. It could be worse...JP is 12-13 hours away.

The closest they get this year is Holyoke, MA. Google maps estimates about a 4-hour drive from my town. Seriously thinking about going on a road-trip with the family...

It was a joke.

I saw the 18u team play last year at Midway Stadium. Canada beat them though :shock: The only reason they were in MN was because the tourney was at Port Arthur Stadium in Thunder Bay, Canada.

It was fun. I wish I could be in NC for the Classic...

You are misunderstood today (this and the Jesus joke).

even though this post was a joke, dont be so sure about a 14 v 16 my 14yr old is 6'1" snd 190 lbs and strikes out the 16 yr olds with regularity in high school jr legion and travel ball. 14 v 16 would be closer than you think

must be all the performance enhancers then cause a 14 yo striking out a 16 yo is impossible otherwise ::facepalm::

I went to the website to buy tickets, but I couldn't see anywhere to do so. I'm feeling slower than usual tonight, so can anyone lead me in the right direction? I want tickets to the July 2nd game in Cary, not the July 1st game in Durham. Please and thank you.
