Why:
FSS events are widely trusted by MLB clubs and college programs nationwide. Future Stars Series athletes accounted for 15.6% of the 2024 MLB Draft and more than 33% of players at the 2024 and 2025 MLB Pre-Draft Combines. Player data from FSS events is directly utilized within professional scouting and analytical models, making these combines a meaningful validation point in the evaluation process.
The Underclass combine is structured to replicate College and MLB camp-style evaluations over three days. Players will participate in full-on-field workouts, professional-style batting practice, and live games, all supported by comprehensive testing, data capture, and performance analysis.
What Players Receive
Each participating athlete will receive a complete professional evaluation and development experience, including:
- Full combine testing using the FSS Athletic Model
- Force plate analysis, vision testing, cognitive assessment, and defensive evaluation
- Advanced performance data via Trackman, Hawkeye, or Yakkertech (minimum one system used)
- On-field batting practice data and in-game analytics

Upon completion of the Underclass Combine, players may be selected to advance to the New Balance Future Stars Series Underclass Elite or designated Underclass Events, depending on graduation class and performance. These signature events are held at premier MLB affiliated venues and are considered must-attend dates on the professional and collegiate scouting calendar.
