2D Sports has been named the Official Team Event Logistics Organization of the Future Stars Series and will license and run Future Stars Series Tournaments around the country, including Super Regionals, as well as be involved with the highly anticipated National Trials this summer.
As the Official Team and Amateur Baseball Player Identification Partner of 2D Sports and The Scout Games, PROGRAM 15 will vet and approve all teams participating in the Scout Games events.
2D COO Ross Blankenship stated, “We are extremely excited about this partnership. We are now going to have the ability to truly provide all the teams and players with two important pieces to enhance their overall growth as players and as programs.”
Brandon Magierowski, 2D CEO, added, “PROGRAM 15’s scouting platform merged with 2D event logistics will improve the overall event experience and provide more opportunity for players across the Country to be recruited to College programs and play at the Professional level.”
The Scout Games will also serve as the regional event arm of The Future Stars Series and along with upcoming FSS Partner Events, will be an integral piece of the road leading to National Trials and potential invitation to join elite players from around the world at the prestigious New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series International Week.
Jeremy Booth, PROGRAM 15 Founder, CEO and President of Baseball Operations for The New Balance Baseball Future Stars Series, said, “Here you have two innovative groups with deep foundations in the game, doing things for the right reasons. It’s an easy partnership that complements each other’s core goals and strengths. This isn’t just excitement, man I’m truly happy to be working with these guys.”
Individual players can register with PROGRAM 15 to attend Scouting and Evaluation sessions held at Scout Game locations prior to the event.
Led by PROGRAM 15’s National Staff of former Major League and professional players, scouts, and coaches, Future Stars Series Training and Evaluation events have garnered a reputation as the most comprehensive amateur baseball player identification and development experiences available.
