Phillies Baseball Carpenter Cup

Each year more than 400 high school players from the tri-state area are able to showcase their skills in front of major league scouts and college/university coaches. The Carpenter Cup presented by Nike has been a catalyst for many players to receive scholarships or admission to some of the country's finest universities.

Additionally many Carpenter Cup participants have gone on to big league careers including Phillies player Phil Gosselin and former Phillies players Brian Schneider and Brett Oberholtzer, along with Mike Piazza, Bobby Higginson, Ben Davis, Bobby File, Mike Koplove, Brian Lesher, Kevin Mench, Mike Neill, Pedro Swann, Dave Williams, Mark DiFelice, Chad Kuhl, Joey Wendle and Mike Trout.
