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 over 30 former BAWSr's have reached the big leagues and over 750 former BAWSr's have gone on to D1 baseball, with hundreds others playing at other four-year level programs. That just means we've seen a lot of talented kids over the years and have enjoyed seeing them on their journey.

PARTICIPATION OPTIONS & COST

PITCHER ONLY
- Face a minimum of 9 hitters (pitchers often end up facing anywhere from 10-12 batters over the course of the event and generally will pitch in two games)

* Note: POs... We know that many pitchers are also contributing HS position players but the idea is to showcase the BEST of what you do. Position players will not be taking innings on the mound, therefore, pitchers won't be taking position player opportunities in the field.
 
POSITION PLAYER ONLY
- Batting practice evaluation (8 swings) 
- Defensive workout evaluation at ONE position 
- Fair and equitable amount of defensive field time during the games, both at your primary position as well as other positions on the field 

2-WAY PLAYER (position player & pitcher)
- Batting practice evaluation (8 swings) 
- Defensive workout evaluation at ONE position 
- Fair and equitable amount of defensive field time during the games, both at your primary position as well as other positions on the field 
- Pitch 1 inning or a minimum of 3 batters. It also possible that you will pitch more than that, possibly in two games

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