In keeping with its commitment to provide best-in-class evaluation services and playing opportunities for elite next-gen baseball players, Perfect Game, the world’s largest youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service, today announced that its 2023 Underclass All-American Games will be played at Eddy D. Field Stadium, on the campus of Pepperdine University, August 6-8.

 

Since its inception in 2004, Perfect Games’ Underclass All-American Games have played an important role in identifying and evaluating the top high school underclassmen from across the country.  In some cases, Underclass All-American Games participants display skill levels that earn them a trip to the following year’s Perfect Game National Showcase and its coveted All-American Classic.

 

“Perfect Game is excited to host its 2023 Underclass All-American Games on the beautiful campus of Pepperdine University, in Malibu, California,” said Perfect Game Sr. Director of Showcases, Kevin Schuver.  “We can’t think of a better environment than the home of the Waves to help propel the careers of the country’s top high school baseball players in the Class of 2025. Perfect Game is dedicated to hosting best-in-class showcases for its youth participants and collegiate and professional scouts, and we’re confident the 2023 Underclass All-American Games will exceed all expectations.”

 

For approximately 130 players in the Class of ’25, the Underclass All-American Games is an important step in determining where they place in the national rankings amongst their graduating and MLB draft class peers. Over the span of three days, players will participate in pro-style workouts, including defensive workouts, batting practice, exit-velo testing and a PG Tech swing analysis. The prospects will also play competitive games in a tournament-style format with the top two teams meeting for bragging rights on August 8.

 

Former Underclass All-American Games participants include Kris Bryant, Corbin Carroll, Tommy Edman, Lucas Giolito, Bryce Harper, Jonathan India, Royce Lewis (Twins’ 1st overall pick, 2017 MLB Draft), MJ Melendez, Mickey Moniak (Phillies’ 1st overall pick, 2016 MLB Draft), Aj Puk, Anthony Rizzo, Trevor Story, Marcus Stroman, Anthony Volpe and Bobby Witt Jr.
