ABOUT CANADIAN FUTURES SHOWCASE

The biggest amateur baseball tournament celebrates its 10th year with the annual Canadian Futures Showcase, running from September 17th – 21st at Rogers Centre in Toronto, ON.

The showcase splits players evenly between six teams to compete against each other in a tournament-style format, starting with a scout day and concluding with a prospects game and home run derby on the final day. Players are selected through a series of open tryouts and in-person evaluations that run nationally over the spring and summer. Click here to find out more about the tryout process.

Since 2013, 116 former Canadian Futures Showcase participants have been drafted by Major League Baseball organizations, with more than 500 receiving college scholarships.
