LAS VEGAS, NV – The lights. The energy. The spectacle. And now, the future of baseball.
New Balance Future Stars Series (NBFSS) is going all-in on Las Vegas.
The globally recognized baseball scouting and player development organization announced today that its 2027 National Tournaments & Combines are coming to Las Vegas, setting the stage for one of the most ambitious summer initiatives in Future Stars Series history.
Over four weeks in the summer of 2027, approximately 200 teams and 3,000 athletes will descend on the Entertainment Capital of the World, bringing elite competition, professional-level evaluation and cutting-edge player development technology to a destination built for unforgettable experiences.
“Las Vegas doesn’t do anything halfway, and neither do we,” said Jeremy Booth, CEO and President of New Balance Future Stars Series. “We’re bringing thousands of athletes and families to a city that knows how to create an experience. Our mission has always been to challenge the way players are evaluated, developed and exposed to opportunity. Now we’re taking that mission to one of the biggest stages imaginable.”
Big Stage. Bigger Opportunities.
The 2027 National Tournaments & Combines will combine high-level tournament competition with the organization’s established scouting and evaluation platform, giving athletes opportunities to compete against national talent while being evaluated by experienced baseball professionals.
The newly announced New Balance Scout Teams will also be in attendance, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to maximizing opportunities and returns for its players through meaningful competition, professional evaluation and continued development.
With thousands of players, coaches, families and baseball personnel expected to travel to Las Vegas, the initiative will generate substantial visitor activity for the city’s hotels, restaurants, entertainment venues and local businesses.
Four weeks of baseball. Four weeks of opportunity. Four weeks of Las Vegas.
Every Pitch. Every Swing. A New Standard for Player Evaluation.
What will separate the 2027 National Tournaments & Combines from traditional amateur baseball events is the technology operating behind the competition.
Through its partnerships with SmartPark and Synergy Sports, Future Stars Series plans to equip participating facilities that do not already have comparable technology with advanced performance tracking and video analytics infrastructure.
The objective is simple but powerful: Every pitch and every swing tracked, recorded and evaluated through a professional scouting process, connecting measurable performance with the baseball decision-making ecosystem.
SmartPark will provide advanced on-field performance measurement, including pitch tracking, batted-ball data, swing metrics and biomechanical information. Its connected-field technology turns game action into measurable performance information, helping scouts and development personnel assess players with greater precision and consistency.
Synergy Sports will provide video capture, organization and analysis, linking game footage with player performance data. Its tools allow evaluators to review individual pitches, at-bats and game situations, creating a searchable visual record that adds valuable context to the numbers.
Together with the Future Stars Series professional scouting staff, these technologies will create an integrated evaluation environment where objective data, game video and experienced scouting analysis work together.
The result is more than a tournament statistic or a highlight clip. It is a comprehensive player evaluation record designed to support development, projection and future opportunities within collegiate and professional baseball.
Las Vegas Takes Center Stage
The 2027 National Tournaments & Combines are planned across a collection of Las Vegas-area baseball facilities, bringing national-level competition to multiple locations throughout the region.
Planned event venues include:
- Basic Academy
- Liberty High School
- Centennial High School
- College of Southern Nevada
- Faith Lutheran High School
- Palo Verde High School
- Desert Diamonds Four-Plex
- Las Vegas Ballpark — under consideration for select combines, pending final arrangements
“We are thrilled to welcome the New Balance Future Stars Series. Baseball has incredible momentum in Southern Nevada, and we’re just getting started,” said Janis Burke, Chief Sports Officer at the Las Vegas Convention Visitors Authority. “From our local, Paseo Verde Little League team making its mark by advancing to the 2026 Little League World Series Championship game in South Williamsport to the Las Vegas Aviators who play in a world-class Triple-A stadium, our region is creating exciting opportunities for the game at every level. With the development of a new MLB ballpark for the A’s slated to open in 2028 and now the opportunity to welcome the Future Stars Series to Las Vegas next summer, we’re building on that momentum and further strengthening our reputation as a premier destination for sports and major events. We look forward to welcoming players, families, and fans from across the country and showing them firsthand why Southern Nevada is such an exciting place to experience baseball.”
The multi-venue approach will allow Future Stars Series to accommodate the scale of the national event while delivering a consistent scouting and player development experience across participating facilities.
Vegas Is Just the Beginning
From world-class entertainment to its rapidly expanding professional sports landscape, Las Vegas has become a destination where major events become unforgettable experiences.
For Future Stars Series, that makes the city an ideal place to write its next chapter.
And while 2027 marks the organization’s first major step into Las Vegas, its ambitions may reach well beyond a single summer.
“We see Las Vegas as much more than a place to host an event,” Booth added. “We see a destination that matches our ambition and our vision for what baseball can become. What we’re bringing here in 2027 is exciting on its own, but the possibilities beyond that are what really energize us. We’re not interested in doing something ordinary. We’re interested in building something special.”
For now, the focus is on delivering a national tournament and combine experience worthy of both the Future Stars Series name and the city hosting it.
The future of baseball is coming to the city where anything feels possible.
And this could be just the opening act.
Additional details regarding tournament dates, age divisions, registration and event programming will be announced in the coming months.
