As the New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series gets set to head to Oklahoma for a Regional Combine and a Sandlot Baseball Scout Day on Tuesday, it’s time to look back one last time at a memorable week up north at our recent Scout Days with the Tigers HPP, Durham Stallions and Vaughan Vikings HPP programs.
Our CEO and President of Baseball Operations, Jeremy Booth, was on hand for all three events and delivered an in-depth look at the Stallions/Vikings day and Tigers day, but now that all work has been completed on social media, let’s take a look at all the players that were spotlighted over the course of the trip.
