We’re excited to work with these countries to advance their players and assist in a high return for both players and their future clubs. To bring this volume of players together into one place for all the MLB clubs and colleges to see is going to be a lot of fun along with selecting the world team from this event in conjunction with the advisory board clubs”.
Participation in the World Combine is by invitation only. Elite players will be selected by PROGRAM 15 staff through workouts and player development camps in designated locations throughout the Caribbean and Canada.
