2019 Skyline Chili Reds Futures High School Showcase Schedule Announced

March 6th, 2019

The eighth annual Skyline Chili Reds Futures High School Showcase presented by Cincinnati Children’s Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics will feature 91 high school baseball and softball teams from Greater Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky and Dayton playing 46 games from April 6 to May 1, 2019. 

Showcase tickets are $5 each and available in advance of the event at participating schools. Tickets also are available at the scheduled ballpark on game days. With each ticket purchased, fans will receive a voucher good for one free View Level ticket to a select 2019 Reds game and a coupon good for one free Skyline Chili Cheese Coney at participating restaurants, while supplies last.

The Showcase kicks off with Opening Weekend at the P&G MLB Cincinnati Reds Youth Academy featuring six baseball games on April 6 and three softball games on April 7.

For the second year in a row, the Showcase will celebrate Jackie Robinson Day by hosting teams from seven Cincinnati Public Schools (Aiken, Gamble Montessori, Hughes, Oyler, Riverview East, Shroder and Woodward) playing baseball and softball games at the Reds Youth Academy on April 13. Players will wear “42” jerseys in honor of Robinson, who would have been 100 years old in 2019. 

Games will be played at five regional collegiate fields including UC’s Marge Schott Stadium, Xavier’s Hayden Field, Miami’s McKie Field at Hayden Park, NKU’s Bill Aker Baseball Complex and Wright State’s Nischwitz Stadium. 

Ten teams will play at Great American Ball Park during the annual “Big League Weekend”:
