Central Region Media Director, Scouting

This weekend, on August 3rd and August 4th, several states from the Central Region traveled to Kansas City for the inaugural Central Region Super Sophomore games at the Creekside Baseball Park. This event featured several of the top 2027 grads from each of the participating states - Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and a Team Select.
