The New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series powered by Program 15 Sports got back on the road for the summer, piggybacking off some Regional Combines in Texas and Mississippi, to also send the scouting and development staffs to Tulsa, Oklahoma for a Scout Day to visit Sandlot Baseball.
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 2022 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 Fresh 50, Underclass Elite or Main Event signature events. The Main Event is hosted in an MLB stadium such as Fenway Park, the Boston Red Sox home, and Citi Field, home of the New York Mets. This bypass step is only available to players that are part of one of our Partner Programs.
