    The 4th Annual Battle of the Border All Star Showcase Games at Winthrop University June 10-14 is now accepting nominations. New this year:

    Unsigned Seniors Game and College Coach Workout
    12U Game
    13U Game


    These games join the 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 games usually held. The 2013 and 2014 classes will play two games to double the opportunities to showcase in front of the college coaches and pro scouts on hand.


    Players from North and South Carolina are invited to the nomination process. We will also accept high-level players from outside the two states that are interested in playing college baseball in the Carolinas.



    Please complete the nomination form at www.battleofthebordershowcase.com before March 6th. At that time a selection committee of coaches from across both states will vote on players for the high school games. We hope to have all invitations extended and rosters set prior to the end of April this year. With the rosters set earlier, we can market all the players to the college coaches interested in attending.



    Come join us this June!

    We have a committee of HS Coaches, Showcase Coaches and College coaches that will vote on the players that were nominated with a focus placed on their position, especially in the high school classes (dont want 6 SS and 1 OF)

    From that, those first rounds of folks will receive notification in next month, if they decline or dont repsond, we have list of alternates that will be built.

    Biggest key is put your name in the hat by nomination. Make me aware of you. Biggest difference I am seeing this year is the # of nominations from across the state is rising dramatically. One of my goals is to really spread the circle from where these players come from. In the past we have had kids from Asheville, Triad, RTP and Wilmington Areas join us, along with various upstate areas of SC.


    while there are many great events for baseball and softball players across our state, I believe this one is pretty good quality. Only 4 years old now, look at some kids from year one that played -
    Richie Shaffer, Ty Linton, Brett Austin, Luke Bard, Jack Reinheimer, . Without researching, I would venture to guess that of the 110 kids that have played as seniors, that 85% of them are D1 players and i think 10 have been drafted.


    Its a fun event, normally the junior and sophomore game draws 30-40 college coaches and scouts and those guys get to play on two different days.

    I invite all to fill out the nomination form today so I know of your interest.
