We also conduct interviews with the top players across the Palmetto State, past and present. Our goal is to ensure that no player in our state gets overlooked! Diamond Prospects quickly became highly-regarded among college coaches and professional scouts in the Tri-State area, many staff’s and scouts across the Carolina’s have told us that checking the site’s contents have become part of their morning routine! How can DP Showcases assist you? -Unmatched exposure to the top decision-makers in our area, we’ll give you the opportunity to display your talents to the people who matter! Over 125 different schools or professional clubs attended at least one of our events in the past year… -It puts you on the radar for Diamond Prospects to further publicize you and your high school team. Following the showcase, we’ll list the top 60 and Pop times, peak velocity’s and put together a top prospect list, all of this will be posted on the website for subscribers! -Many of the top traveling teams in the Carolina’s will be on hand looking for players… –Diamond Prospects will only host two “invite-only” events in 2015, this showcase will ensure that you get an extended viewing in front of our staff… Understand this, it is never too early, or too late, to showcase yourself to coaches and scouts.

All 20 of our ‘open’ showcases have been full before the deadline. It will, again, be limited to the first 150 players who sign-up.
