Opportunity
This is your chance to take a shot at being noticed
Sitting at home for the last week of the season can be a gamble. Yes, you get to rest before the school year starts, but what if this is the weekend you get on a coaches radar. It only takes one weekend to get the recruiting process started. Here are a couple of our Tigers who've played on the National Team.
Andrew DuMont
Committed to the University of Tennessee
Andrew was on the inagural National Team back in 2021. Since that time we've seen him commit to the University of Tennessee and gain national recognition with Perfect Game and Prep Baseball Report.
Bishop Letson
Committed to Purdue University
Two time National Team player, we saw Bishop in both Ft. Myers, FL and Scottsdale, AZ where he dominated ranked opponents. He is currently committed to Purdue University, but we could see him drafted this year with his impressive performance at Prep Baseball Reports Super 60 Draft Event.
Jack Nobe
Committed to Xavier University
A two time National Team player, we saw Jack on the inagural team in 2021 and also earlier this year in 2023. He has recently committed to Xavier University in Cincinnati, Ohio.
