The New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series made a return visit to a major market this past week, visiting Philadelphia for an annual Regional Combine on February 25. Philly has historically produced significant contributors to FSS signature events, and this year appears to be no exception.
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 Minute Maid Park, Fenway Park, the Underclass Elite, Underclass Premier or the Fresh 50.
