DP Events

In 2025, Diamond Prospects will host five events again. On February 2, the new year will crank up at River Bluff as we conduct our 19th Annual Pro Day, kicking off the new baseball season just before spring practice begins! This summer DP will host an ‘open showcase‘ for 2025-2027 graduates in June at River Bluff High School, and the 18th Annual ‘invite-only’ Palmetto Games will return in August. We will also have an Un-signed senior and Underclassman ‘open showcase’ on the first weekend in November. We will duplicate all of these events in 2026. General FYI: Eightteen years ago, Diamond Prospects introduced the Palmetto Games to the state of South Carolina. Over 100 of the top players participate each year and 100+ college coaches/pro scouts are typically in attendance each August… Also, all but two of 229 SC prep players that were selected in the 2007-2024 Major League Draft had previously participated in a DP event.
