Joined by players Jack Walker, Ryan Faulks, Roc Riggio and Gavin Guidry, New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series powered by Program 15 CEO Jeremy Booth held a press conference at McMurry Park in advance of this week’s National Combine event.
The four-day event, which begins with a testing day on Sunday, will feature four teams comprised of some of the best home-grown amateur talent in the nation — the teams will be “Blue,” “Black,” “White” and “Green” and face off in competition in front of a large contingent of scouts and media. Â Approximately 75 players will be on the rosters, and two games will be played per day.
“We wanted to put together events that were truly player-focused, development-oriented,” Booth said. Â “They’re executed and designed by major-league professionals for the next group of major-league professionals…but this event is four years in the making. Â It’s taken a long time for us to get here. Â We’re excited to have a four-day event that will leave (players) better than when they got here. Â And, they’re going to leave us better than when we got here too.”
