The UA Next Prospect Tour Powered by Baseball Factory provides a national stage for the top high school and middle school players in the country. Each event is a comprehensive baseball and scouting experience with game play, offensive and defensive workouts, team practices, athletic testing, baseball-specific metrics, reactive and cognitive testing, and the chance to put yourself on the map through social coverage and post-event college coach updates. Each UA Next Prospect Tour event features hundreds of players from all around the nation, hosted at premier baseball facilities across the United States during the summer and fall months.

Plus, playing in the UA Next Prospect Tour gives each player the opportunity to be selected as one of the TOP PLAYERS from each event, earning participation in the UA Next National Prospect Games at the end of the year. From there, players could also be invited to play in the prestigious UA Next Preseason All-America event in early 2026.

    How much can I expect my player to pitch?  

    Innings will be spread evenly among all pitchers on the roster, with the coach reserving the right to adjust pitching limits based on performance. Any PO (Pitcher Only) will have first opportunity to start a game.

The Player Combine is a great way to determine where a player stands in comparison to other players from around the country. A scaled rating system based on the specific age division of the player is used to determine the scores.

All player cards (in a digital format) are released after all the summer events are completed. Once released, you will also have the opportunity to order a set of baseball cards of your player card for a family keepsake.
