As part of a weekly series of stories leading up to the Program 15 New Balance Future Stars Series upcoming national events in Houston, FutureStarsSeries.com spoke with Ontario Blue Jays standout Noah Naylor about being involved. Naylor is a possible first overall pick in the 2018 Major League Baseball Draft.
“It’s amazing to be able to get out and get some exposure. I know Program 15 has some great outlets and connections, and it’s going to be good for my career to get out there and show everybody what I’ve got. Being able to show everybody where I am as a baseball player and being able to play against some of the top athletes across the country will be great.”
