National Baseball Scouts Survey Virginia Hopefuls

Alexandria, VA – On Saturday, March 17, high school baseball student athletes are invited to Mt. Vernon High School in Alexandria, Virginia to showcase their baseball skills and be evaluated against other high school athletes around the country. The free event run by MVP Baseball, is open to the public and aimed at selecting the nation’s top high school players for the most competitive and highly scouted tournaments in the country.

Beginning at 10 a.m., participating players and their parents will have the opportunity to attend an educational presentation on college recruiting.

Following the presentation, the players will participate in a pro-style workout designed to gauge the level of talent, athleticism and future potential of each athlete. MVP coaches will provide valuable training tips to each player during the tryout.

Participating players will be evaluated against their peers by a staff of seasoned professional coaches including Jeff Holly, former major league player, and five-time national championship coach, Gary Ridge. Players will be judged on a variety of baseball abilities including arm strength, hitting, pitching, and defensive skills, as well as their overall athletic skills.

“The MVP Baseball program is a unique and highly beneficial experience,” says Harry Grumet, general manager and national championship coach of MVP Baseball. “Our incredible coaching staff provides each player expert instruction and pro player knowledge that will separate them from the competition.”
