PROGRAM 15 is proud to announce the NorCal World Series has been added as one of the partner events for the New Balance Future Stars Series. PROGRAM 15 and Future Stars Series staff will attend and scout the NorCal World Series event to write MLB scouting reports and select players for the 2018 International Week and invite-only combines in the fall.
The best and brightest of Northern California’s top baseball-playing student athletes will come together in one unified regional event to be held June 8-11, 2018 in Stockton, CA. The event will include Batting Practice, Defensive Workouts, and each player will play in 3-4 competitive games. This is a must-see event for college and professional scouts.
Led by PROGRAM 15’s National Staff of former Major League and professional players, scouts, and coaches, Future Stars Series Regional Training and Evaluation Combines have garnered a reputation as one of the most comprehensive amateur baseball player identification and development experiences available.
Jeremy Booth, PROGRAM 15 Founder, CEO and President of Baseball Operations for The New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series, says, “Tony Crivello is a legend in Northern California baseball over the last two plus decades. He’s had hundreds of college players come through his program and over 50 major leaguers. He is the Northern California Regional director for PROGRAM 15 and is involved in the training centers we are building across the country. As a special assistant to me in all areas of youth baseball, he has shown time and time again to have vision and the best interests of the players in mind. Bringing this event into the fold was an absolute cake decision.”
Tony Crivello, President and GM of NorCal Baseball, said, “We are thrilled to become a partner with PROGRAM 15. We feel we have one of the best events in the country with some of the best players in the country. There is no doubt the PROGRAM 15 model and vision fits what we believe in. Jeremy and his staff are the best in baseball at evaluations and development. There is no doubt that every player in our event will benefit from PROGRAM 15 and the vision of better baseball players.”
Amateur players identified by PROGRAM 15’s National Staff of former Major League and professional players, scouts and coaches are submitted to New Balance Baseball for advanced opportunities and potential selection to regional and national team rosters for New Balance sponsored events.
