The New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series powered by Program 15 Sports finished 2023 strong with a trip to Stockton, California for a dual Scout Day with NorCal Baseball and GamePrep Baseball Academy.
Hosted exclusively for FSS Partner Programs, each player attending a Scout Day event receives a co-branded t-shirt, hat, and full Future Stars Series created scouting report written by a professional scout who has signed MLB players. These reports include the MLB 20-80 scale and a proprietary role prediction model developed by the Future Stars Series from thousands of games and scouted players. This model has been widely accepted by MLB clubs when making draft decisions. This includes many of the recent 33 players drafted or signed in the 2023 MLB Draft who have participated in previous New Balance Future Stars Series events.
Players attending their organization’s Scout Day will also be evaluated for selection to attend a New Balance Future Stars Series Underclass or National Combine, allowing them to bypass the normally required Regional Combine as they progress toward a potential invitation to the Showdown, Fresh 50, Underclass Elite, Underclass Premier or Main Event signature events. The Main Event is hosted at Minute Maid Park starting in 2024. This bypass step is only available to players that are part of one of our Partner Programs.
