Baseball events to attend for recruiting
There are four main baseball recruiting events: camps, showcases, combines and clinics. These events each offer something different to aid athletes in the recruiting process. Visit each page linked below to learn more about the specific benefits of each type of baseball event.
- Baseball camps offer expert instruction and exposure to college coaches. Learn more about baseball camps.
- Baseball showcases provide a platform to get evaluated by college coaches through rotating drills and gameplay. Learn more about baseball showcases.
- Baseball combines benefit athletes looking to update their verified measurements. Learn more about baseball combines.
- Baseball clinics offer targeted training in a small group setting, ideal for athletes looking to improve specific skills like hitting, pitching, or fielding. Unlike camps, clinics provide individualized attention, making them a great option for focused skill development without the need for college exposure. Clinics are typically affordable, ranging from $30 to $100, with options for single or multiple sessions, and can be found locally.
Find the right baseball Recruiting events to attend
To decide which camp, clinic, combine or showcase is right for you, consider all these factors: your age, skill level, experience, and goals. For example, it doesn’t make sense to attend exposure-focused events before the summer after your sophomore year, since college coaches won’t be able to talk to you there.
Below, we break down when and why athletes typically attend each type of event.
Baseball Camps (when to attend)
- Underclassmen: Attend for skill development.
- Juniors: Attend summer camps for exposure to college coaches you’re already talking to and to explore campus.
- Seniors: Attend winter camps (if unsigned) for last chance roster opportunities.
Baseball Clinics (when to attend)
- Athletes are encouraged to attend clinics at any point in the recruiting process to improve your skillset.
Baseball Combines (when to attend)
