The Dream Series, established in 2017, is operated by Major League Baseball and USA Baseball. This event hosts a diverse group of more than 60 high school pitchers and catchers from across the country in a special development camp atmosphere as well as serving as a showcase for professional scouts and collegiate recruiters.
In addition to the on-field actions, participants receive daily presentations from former Major Leaguers, scouts, college administrators, umpires and other industry professionals. The focus of these presentations is to prepare the prospect for the collegiate and professional recruiting processes and offer information about alternative careers within the baseball industry. As in similar amateur development camps, a large contingent of college recruiters and professional scouts are expected to attend and evaluate players who demonstrate potential, but may not have had the opportunity for exposure through other events.
Coaches at the 2018 Dream Series included Bob Didier, Marvin Freeman, Tom "Flash" Gordon, Marquis Grissom, LaTroy Hawkins, Kenny Hill, Charles Johnson, Jerry Manuel, Darren Oliver, Dave Stewart and Lenny Webster.
