Three Rivers College will host a showcase for USA Baseball at Pattillo Field this weekend.

Young baseball players between the ages of 13 and 17 are invited to participate in a “pro-style showcase” on Saturday, July 23, for the chance to compete in the USA Baseball National Team Identification Series.  Those interested must visit www.midwestNTIS.com to register, or call Jon French at (573) 344-1018. 

The showcase is open to players from Southeast Missouri and Arkansas.  According to a flyer distributed by USA Baseball, the top players will be selected to participate in the Midwest Regional event in St. Louis August 19-21.

Following the showcase in St. Louis, the top 18 players from each age group will be invited to represent the Midwest at the National Team Identification Series, September 19-21, in Cary, N.C.  The top players from that event will move on to the National Team Trials.

According to the flyer, the St. Louis showcase and the National Team Trials are among the top youth baseball events in the region and in the country, and are highly scouted for high school age players by college coaches and professional scouts.
