PLAYER SELECTION PROCESS

Nomination: Players are nominated for participation by the Future Stars Series selection committee, which includes a diverse group of experts from across various collegiate conferences and regions and individual nominations.

NOMINATE A PLAYER

Notification: Upon nomination, the Future Stars Series will contact the nominated player’s school to inform them of the nomination. This communication is crucial for initiating the selection process.

Acceptance or Decline: Players are given the option to accept or decline their nominations. This choice allows players to consider their current commitments, health, and plans before committing to the event.

Evaluation Process: Players who accept their nomination will then undergo a comprehensive evaluation process. This includes:

  • Scouting: In-depth review of the player’s skills, performance, and potential on the field.
  • Data and Statistical Analysis: A thorough examination of the player’s statistics and performance metrics to gauge their effectiveness and potential impact.
  • Future Stars Series’ Full Testing Model: A regional testing procedure that assesses players’ abilities across a range of metrics. This final step ensures a holistic view of the player’s capabilities.

Selection: After the evaluation process, the most deserving athletes are selected to participate in the event. A total of 50 players will be chosen for each event, ensuring a high caliber of talent and competition.

Eligibility Requirements:

  • Draft Eligibility: To be eligible for selection, players must be draft-eligible for the following season. This criterion ensures that the event showcases talent that is ready for the next level of their baseball career.
  • Pitchers: Pitchers must meet specific health guidelines, including not exceeding a maximum innings workload. This requirement is in place to protect the long-term health and career prospects of pitchers, ensuring they can perform at their best without risking injury.
