2023 Future Stars Series Northern California Combine Recap

The New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series powered by Program 15 Sports was back at it this week, holding regional combines out in California, as well as a stop in Atlanta as they try to identify and select the next group of players to move on to the next round.

Regional Combines are the first large step toward a selection to a FSS Signature event, and the direct path to the National or Underclass Combines. An invitation-only event, players attending will receive a shirt, hat, full MLB-level scouting report, video, data analysis, and on-site player development by the Future Stars Series National staff which includes Major League All-Stars and World Series Winners. This level is a must-attend to advance to Citi Field, Fenway Park, Underclass Elite, Underclass Premier or the Fresh 50.
