Triple Crown Baseball will join forces this year with the Don Reynolds Professional Baseball Group to bring in professional and seasoned scouts to assess 14u-15u talent at multiple events. The majority of these scouts have a background in Major League Baseball; they will provide scouting reports and ultimately select the Top Prospects from the pool of players at TCS events.

Players selected as Top Prospects will carry the banner of a Triple Crown National squad and will be invited to later play at the 2021 Pathway Arizona tournament (Sept. 17-20), where a deep roster of current college and pro scouts will be attending.

During these events parents have an option to purchase a scouting report that has been prepared by a scout with 20 plus years of scouting in Major League Baseball.

To guarantee a written scouting report on your athlete, a report must be purchased prior to the start of the tournament. Limited scouting reports are available.

The cost for a report is $125.  View an example of the report your athlete will receive: PITCHERS | POSITION PLAYERS.
