USSSA Baseball is proud to announce the partnership with All American Athletics to bring you the All American Showcase Series and the All American Team.
Kissimmee, FL. – USSSA Baseball has partnered with Jay Franklin and his staff from All American Athletics to bring the USSSA baseball players the opportunity to showcase their skills to a team of professionals. Jay has 25 years of professional baseball experience, either as a player or working in MLB. He has also been running showcases for the past 8 years as well as coaching, scouting and evaluating players for the past 16 years. Jay and his staff of professionals will bring their expertise and evaluating experience to create this game changing partnership. Players will be evaluated, ranked (state and nationally) and have the opportunity to make the All American Team to showcase their skills on a national stage.
What is the All American Showcase and Team?
The All American Showcase will target the 9u-14u age divisions and will support the current All American Games that USSSA has in place for the high school age participants (15-18) which concludes in the Gold Medal Games and international competition.
The All American staff will be comprised of current and former college, professional and Major League Baseball players, coaches and scouts. The pro style workout is modeled after current professional baseball workouts. The exposure offered to the players will be second to none. All players will receive an All American shirt and hat for the workout camp.
The Showcases will allow USSSA to enhance the current player history/player profile available on USSSA.com by not only providing player history, but also ranking individual players against other players participating in the showcase events throughout the country. Players will be evaluated on hitting, running, throwing, fielding and pitching. All grading information from the evaluations will be added to the individual player profile page. This will provide a database of a player’s progression year by year, ultimately allowing college coaches and pro scouts to see how a player has progressed through the years.
At the conclusion of the Evaluation Showcases in each region, an independent committee will choose 15 participants to represent that region in the All American Games scheduled take place at ESPN Wide World of Sports, Kissimmee, Florida. The games would feature 8 regional teams per age group (9u-14u).
