Welcome to the info page for BAWS Underclass 2021. We are excited about the event returning from a few years hiatus, as we return, for a third time, to Islanders Field at River Islands in Lathrop.

Highlights from BAWS 2019

BAWS is the longest running showcase of it's kind in Northern California (established 2004) and PBR is the most respected independent scouting resource in all of amateur baseball in the nation.

Over 900 colleges and pro scouts have subscriptions to PBR, while 39 former BAWSr's have reached the big leagues (Marcus Semien, Stephen Piscotty, Mitch Haniger, J.D. Davis are a few you may know) and over 800 former BAWSr's have gone on to D1 baseball, with hundreds others playing at other four-year level programs. That means we've seen a lot of talented kids over the years and have been trusted as contributors in their journey.

PARTICIPATION OPTIONS

PITCHER ONLY
- Face a minimum of 9 hitters. if a pitcher is laboring to the point where I assess that injury becomes a higher risk (generally focusing on how many pitches are thrown in an inning), I reserve the right to keep that player healthy and end an outing early if need be, which may force him to fall short of 9 total batters faced.

* Note: POs... We know that many pitchers are also contributing HS position players and even more so given the early stages of development for 2024/2025 grads. Please be aware that the idea is to showcase the BEST of what you do. When you sign up as a PO, you will NOT be doing the defensive workout or taking BP or playing as a position player in the games, unless you have gained approval from Blaine Clemmens.
 
POSITION PLAYER ONLY
- 60 yard dash, laser timed finish
- Batting practice evaluation (8-10 swings recorded by TrackMan) 
- Defensive workout evaluation at ONE position (unless a second is Ok'd by me) 
- Fair and equitable amount of defensive field time during game play or simulated game play, both at your primary position as well as other positions on the field as need be. Each player will hit twice in each of the three games/sim games.

2-WAY PLAYER (position player & pitcher)
- All that a position player gets plus... 
- Pitch to a minimum of 3 batters. It also possible that you will pitch more than that

NOTE: BAWS Director Blaine Clemmens needs to approve participation as a 2-way player
