Welcome to the 2009 East Coast Pro Showcase Event Web Site!

This event was created and designed to evaluate and educate prospective players and parents to attain their goal for an opportunity to play professional baseball. The ultimate purpose of this showcase is to provide a venue for the premier youth baseball players across the Eastern United States to compete in a professional environment and allow evaluation opportunities for scouts from every Major League organization.

The East Coast Pro Showcase is a non-profit event run by MLB scouts.  Proceeds are placed in a fund to aid MLB Scouts, active and retired, in need of financial assistance due to unfortunate circumstances. ECPS also assists scouting associations on the east coast.

Annually, between 80 and 110 players from the event are selected in the MLB Rule 4 Draft.  2008 players selected in the 1st round include Zach Wheeler(SFG), Bobby Borchering(ARI), Mike Trout(LAA), and Levon Washington(TB). 

We hope these games and seminars will allow professional scouts and all MLB personnel to assist the players from this event to fully understand what professional baseball can offer at its highest levels. 

We appreciate your attendance at this annual event and hope that you will enjoy this our forth year of many in Lakeland, Florida.
