Take the next step in your recruiting journey at the MCA Summer Collegiate Baseball Showcase, hosted at The Dugout in partnership with Melendez Collegiate Advising.

This showcase is designed for serious players who want to be evaluated the same way college coaches evaluate prospective student-athletes. Participants will complete a professional-style workout, receive verified performance metrics, and showcase their abilities in front of college coaches representing NCAA Division I, II, III, NAIA, and Junior College programs.

Unlike many showcase events that simply promise exposure, MCA focuses on providing players with meaningful evaluations and an opportunity to perform directly in front of college coaches in a professional showcase environment.

Players Will Receive:

  • Professional-style college showcase workout

  • Verified athletic and baseball performance metrics

  • Defensive and offensive evaluations

  • Opportunities to interact with college coaches throughout the day

  • Honest feedback to help guide their recruiting journey

  • Instruction and organization led by former professional and Division I players

  • Showcase shirt and identification number
