Will the entire camp be held at a Major League Baseball stadium?

Showball has made arrangements for each and every participant to play 1 game at a major league baseball stadium on the last day of the camp.  The first 2 days will be held at a designated site.  Showball will always host their camps at top-notch facilities.

Will each player be guaranteed playing time at a Major League Baseball stadium?

All players will be guaranteed playing time based on the PRIMARY position listed on their registration form.   If you’re a pitcher, you will only pitch and if you’re a position player, you will only play the field.   To accommodate playing time and coaches requests, Showball will occasionally shift players around to different positions throughout the game.

 Each participant must ONLY list 1 primary position and 1 secondary position.  If you only play 1 position, make sure to ONLY list that position.

With games taking place on the 2nd and 3rd days of the showcase camp, each player is guaranteed to play their secondary positions on the 2nd day of the camp and their primary positions on the 3rd day at the Major League Baseball Stadium.  If you’re secondary position is pitching, you will pitch on the 2nd day.  Please be advised that you still may play your primary positions on the 2nd day. 

After watching the evaluations, coaches’ sometimes make special requests to see certain players play different positions.  Often times, coaches and schools have different needs and project players differently.  While you might be the star shortstop on your current high school team, college coaches could very well project you as an outfielder at their program.  If asked, be ready to play different positions.

Yes.  We encourage parents to attend the entire camp.  However, at no time will parents be allowed onto the field, especially at any of the MLB stadiums.  Digital cameras and pictures from the stands are permitted. 

Since Showball hires coaches from the top Division I programs in the nation to provide instruction and insight, all listed schools are guaranteed to be in attendance the entire camp.  This will be a unique opportunity to have the schools and coaches watch you play the entire time.

No.  All participants are responsible for their own lodging and meals.  While drinks and snacks will be for sale at designated sites, the concession stands at the MLB stadiums will not be open.   Showball has arranged for a special camp rate at a local hotel in each city.  Please click on the “Hotel Info” link for more information.  To receive the special rate, simply notify the hotel that you’re attending the Showball camp.

All players are required to bring their baseball equipment (baseball gloves, batting gloves, bats, helmets, and catcher’s equipment), baseball pants, socks, and belts and cleats.  Please bring white pants, black socks and a black belt.  Showball will provide players with shirts and hats at check in.  After the 1st day, all players must show up to the camp in full uniform with shirts tucked in and hats on properly. Make sure to bring a notepad and something to write with for the Question and Answer session with the coaches and guest speakers.

Showball will make every effort to accommodate special requests and place friends and high school teammates on the same team.  However, due to limited roster space, not all requests can be guaranteed.

Since Showball permits all high school and college regulated aluminum bats as well as wood bats, each player is free to use the bat of their choice.

Yes.   Within 2 -3 weeks after the conclusion of the camp, players will be emailed or mailed and assessment from their evaluation day.  The assessment will consist of their 60 yd dash time, home to 1st time, INF and OF MPH, Pitchers MPH, and pop time to 2nd.   Each assessment will include the times and MPH of an average Major Leaguer so that each player has a measuring stick of what it takes to play at the Major League level.

Since all expenses are paid in their entirety prior to the start of the camp, there will be no refunds.  Please be advised that Showball LLC does not get reimbursed for the Major League Baseball Stadium rental fee in the event of a rain out.  However, we will do everything in our power to complete as much of the camp as possible. 

Since there is limited space available, Showball LLC does not offer cash refunds or credits in the event of a cancellation within 30 calendar days of a given camp.  In the event of a cancellation outside of 30 calendar days from the beginning of the camp, customers will be offered credit to a future camp within 1 calendar year of the scheduled date of the original camp.
