In 2010, we will be holding showcase-style tryout events to identify top players in the Midwest in three age groups (note, international baseball uses straight calendar year birth dates for age groups):
• 17U NTIS: for players born in 1993 and 1994 (for the 2011 18U National Team)
• 15U NTIS: for players born in 1995 and 1996 (for the 2011 16U National Team
• 13U NTIS: for player born in 1997 and later (for the 2011 14U National Team)
USA Baseball events are the ONLY events in the country which give
players the opportunity to be evaluated to represent the United States
in international competition as members of the National Team. This is
the real deal, with the top players in the country competing for the
honor of representing our country in international events.
From the sub-regionals, the top players will be invited to participate in the Midwest Regional NTIS in St. Louis on August 13-15. This will be the premier summer
baseball event in the Midwest, with elite players from five states
competing to represent the Midwest Region at the USA Baseball complex in
September. Click on the links above for all the details, including
how to register for the events.
From the Midwest Regional NTIS, we will select the top 18 players at each age
group to represent the Midwest and compete against the other regions at
the USA Baseball Training Complex in Cary, NC on September 10-12, 2010.
The top players from the NTIS will have the opportunity to
participate on the National Team. This is a once in a lifetime
opportunity for players.
