    Granted no one wanting to play college baseball likes to think they will be unsigned come June, but sadly it happens to a lot of really talented kids. This year, the 4th edition of the Battle of the Border All Star Showcase Games, we are adding an unsigned seniors game and pre-game workout to the mix. We plan to have multiple JUCO and Community College Coaches on hand that are still looking to fill spots. Many kids just aren't ready to give up their dreams once the final pitch is thrown, we hope this game will help many to find new opportunities.

    If you are interested in playing in the game and are worried you may remain unsigned, please fill out the form at www.battleofthebordershowcase.com

    Nice enhancement, and well deserved

    AND, nobody hurt by adding the unsigned seniors.

    One thing is not clear to me; are players who are currently juniors (class of 2013) and have verbally committed, eligible to play. The reason I had this thought was that they might be taking the place of players who are still in the hunt.

    thanks and keep up the great work!!

    The class of 2013 and 2014 are the two most important games, They play two games, one each night. This is the game where the majority of college coaches will be.

    We want the best of the best that want to play in the games.


    The uncommitted game is for 2012 graduates that still have that burning desire to play and want to work out in front of a good group of coaches and play the nine inning game to follow. I have learned over the years that a lot of kids have a desire to continue to play the game and want to give it one more shot. Its amazing the # of JUCOS and Community Colleges that are filling their rosters as late as June

    Should be a great addition to the games
