The Top 72 Future Prospects Showcase brings the best young ballplayers in the country to the Valley of the Sun for Thanksgiving weekend. Every division is capped at 72 players — once it's full, it's full.
This isn't another tournament — it's a curated showcase experience where every player gets seen, every team has personality, and every family gets a holiday weekend to remember.
Each age division is capped at exactly 72 players. Small rosters, balanced teams, and maximum reps for every kid on the field.
Every team rocks its own Thanksgiving-themed mascot and custom jersey. The Gobblers vs. the Drumsticks? Yes, that's a real matchup.
Sunshine, 70 degrees, and the pristine fields of Cactus Yards in Gilbert. The best baseball weather in America — on Thanksgiving weekend.
Backed by USSSA. Players are evaluated all weekend and compete in front of coaches, families, and the Future Prospects staff.
You register as an individual player — we build the teams. No team fees, no politics, just baseball.
Lock in your player's spot in their age division for $295. Spots are first-come, first-served.
Players are drafted onto a balanced, Thanksgiving-themed team led by one of our seven mascots.
Every player receives a custom mascot jersey to keep — wear it proud all weekend.
A full weekend of games at Cactus Yards, capped off with division championships on Sunday.
Seven Thanksgiving-themed squads, each led by its own mascot with a swing, a glove, and a whole lot of attitude. Which one will your player suit up for?
The ace of the patch. A nasty fastball, a wicked curve, and ice in the vines when the game is on the line.
Nothing gets past the squash behind the plate. Blocks everything in the dirt and squashes any thought of stealing.
The heart of the order. When Ham Slam connects, the ball doesn't just leave the yard — it gets carved.
Small, round, and absolutely furious at the plate. One swing and the ball is getting sauced into the gap.
The fastest birds in the desert. They'll leg out a double before you've finished saying gobble — then steal third.
If the grounder's in the dirt, they're already on it. Dives, scoops, and turns two with a side of stuffing.
They don't slide — they pour. Headfirst into every base, leaving a trail of dust and gravy behind them.
Team assignments revealed before the event — mascot trash talk encouraged.
