PROGRAM 15, the Official Global Grassroots Player Identification and Development Program for New Balance Baseball announced plans to attend select Prospect Wire events this spring to evaluate players for a potential invitation to represent their country at the New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series International Week.
PROGRAM 15’s National Staff of former Major League and professional players, scouts and coaches will be onsite to evaluate and write scouting reports on players attending Prospect Wire events on May 19-20 at the Mariners Complex in Peoria, AZ, and June 1-3 in Orlando, FL.
