PROGRAM 15

MEET OUR TEAM

The PROGRAM 15 Sports staff offers decades of experience at both the collegiate and professional levels. Evaluators and instructors have played, coached, and scouted at the highest levels of baseball and have been directly involved in players moving forward collegiately, professionally, and on to the Major Leagues.

All evaluations are performed with the goal of improving the player’s self-awareness and ability to maximize his abilities and achieve his goals. While college scholarships and professional careers cannot be guaranteed, our system has helped many players across the country accomplish these feats. Additionally, the PROGRAM 15 staff has developed a strong network across all levels that, if applicable, can be accessed to help local players.

FUTURE STARS SERIES EXECUTIVE STAFF

Jeremy Booth

President, CEO

Jeremy Booth is the Founder and President of PROGRAM 15 and the New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series as well as a Baseball Analyst for CBS TV KHOU 11 in Houston and the Co-Host of the Extra Bases Podcast. He is also the author of “Inside the Mind of a Scout”, a number one bestseller on Amazon. He has covered eight postseasons and World Series, MLB first year player drafts, All Star Games, Winter meetings, and is regarded as an extremely well-connected Baseball insider. He is regularly featured across the country on podcasts, television, and radio programming.

Jeremy’s reputation for being able to recognize and uncover player potential is built on a diverse 18-year professional baseball career as a player, coach, and talent evaluator. The Future Stars Series model of role forecasting is built on a mix of subjective scouting, athletic performance, relevant simple and advanced game analytics, and mental strength. This information is used to guide players down a path of role building and growth to best help the players, the evaluators, and the game as a whole with a almost universal return on investment for all parties involved in the player’s selection.

As a scout, Jeremy has consulted in the player development and scouting departments for Major League organizations, including the Minnesota Twins, the Milwaukee Brewers, and the Seattle Mariners, where he signed players who went on to claim major exposure and professional success. Since founding The Future Stars Series in 2016, the series has seen hundreds of millions in dollars in signing bonuses and college scholarships awarded to alumni, and over 150 drafted players. Currently, approximately 25 percent of the consensus best prospects in minor league baseball are Series veterans, with one third of the 2024 MLB Pre Draft Combine comprised of Future Stars Series Veterans and the 2024 Draft itself results yielding 15 percent of its selections as Series alumni.

With a passion and drive that earned him the respect of the amateur baseball player evaluation and development world, Jeremy left professional baseball in 2016 to create PROGRAM 15, an organization dedicated to his vision for providing amateur players across all economic levels an opportunity to reach their full potential through the training, development, and guidance of former MLB players, scouts, and coaches. The Series impact is felt across all levels as its expanded its ranks to include 28 MLB representatives on its advisory board and approximately 50 college coaches across both Division 1 and Junior College baseball.
