Identification Showcases

ID Showcases are one day events open to all softball athletes (Ages 13-18) interested in furthering their softball careers. In the morning session of the Showcase, athletes are put through a complete physical work-out (running, throwing, fielding, hitting).   In the afternoon session, players will be placed on teams where PG scouts will further assess ability, hustle and attitude. Each athlete is given a set of skill grades. These skill grades are not based upon a specific ID Showcase, but rather a culmination of past PG ID Showcases attendees nationwide.  This gives athletes and college coaches a better assessment of their ability. After the Showcases, athletes will have their photo, profile, and skill grades posted on our website. Generally, the top 10-12 prospects at an ID Showcase will be invited to a Regional Showcase and the World Fastpitch Championship Tournament.

Pitchers will be assessed on all of the above as well as pitch speed, ball movement, and ball control.)
