2008 Summer Showcase: Invitation

 -Diamond Prospects Showcase- A.C. Flora High School – June 9-10, 2008 Diamond Prospects announces a two-day showcase on June 9-10, 2008 at A.C. Flora High School for 2009, 2010 and 2011 graduates. This showcase is designed for the player who possesses the abilities to play at the collegiate level or beyond. If you think you are that caliber of player, it would strongly benefit you to attend this event! TheDiamondProspects.com provides the #1 coverage of high school baseball in the state of South Carolina. We watch more prep baseball than anyone and write articles about the teams and players we see. 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 has quickly become 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 75 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! The top traveling teams in the Carolina’s will be on hand looking for players. Understand this, it is never too early, or too late, to showcase yourself to coaches and scouts. Most colleges have a ‘follow list’ of players for each class, even freshman! Kids are committing to schools earlier and earlier each year, make sure you don’t let this time in your life pass you by. The showcase was full the past two years before the deadline. It will, again, be limited to the first 150 players who sign-up. At this very same showcase a year ago, we had over 40 college coaches and pro scouts in attendance. If you have baseball in your future beyond high school, you don’t want to miss out on this opportunity that could alter your career forever! The application is on the second page, please return it ASAP to ensure yourself a spot. Registration will begin at 9:00 AM on June 9th, we hope to see you there! Good luck in 2008, Diamond Prospects ——————————————————————– Bonus: Following the morning workout, as the coaches and scouts are eating lunch, Diamond Prospects will provide you with the option of sitting in on "Recruiting 101", a crash-course on the recruiting process. We will take approximately 45 minutes to counsel you through the maze that is often very confusing for players and their families. For more information on aspects that we will cover, please go to TheDiamondProspects.com. The cost for the seminar is $25 for the entire family. Payment details are on the second page. .
