2024 Ohio Junior State Games - Class of 2028 (Invite Only)

The Junior State Games is one of our top events of the summer for rising 9th graders.

Unlike our Rising Stars events, this will feature game play and allow players to showcase their skills in a workout and game setting.

This event will be used to help with our initial freshman class rankings.

The event is limited in the number of participants.  Pitchers will be evaluated/videoed during live game action. Rosters will be organized/built by specific positions to maximize playing time/exposure for each player. If you want to take advantage of this opportunity, please get your registration in as soon as possible, as roster spots are limited, both by total quantity and by position.

If you register within 48 hours of the event, your Trackman and Blast data may be delayed when syncing to our website.

***This event will be players on a 60x90 field.
***2028 grads should use -3 bats
