Elite Baseball Series

The inaugural Elite Baseball Series (EBS) presented by Muscle Milk™ highlights the top freshmen (2011’) and sophomore (2010’) high school baseball players in America, competing in two series of games in back to back weeks. All games are hosted at UCLA’s Jackie Robinson Stadium and UC Irvine’s Anteater Ballpark, two of the finest playing fields in the nation. The EBS provides a first look at future prospects for college and major league scouts.

"What Elite Baseball is doing for underclassmen is insurmountable. They are setting the standard for events throughout the country. Division 1 Coaches as well as families and players are very grateful for the Elite Baseball Series" says Dave Serrano, Head Coach of Cal State Fullerton. Over forty players have committed to compete in this premiere event, with the first pitch scheduled for Monday July 21st at 6:30pm. All games are umpired by Division 1 college umpires and admission is free.

Mike Gillespie, Head Coach of UC Irvine comments, "The EBS will give the players insight into what a college baseball weekend is all about. The experience a player receives participating in the EBS is unattainable anywhere else. It is truly an event a player should be a part of."

The Elite Baseball Series presented by Muscle Milk™ boasts a stellar lineup of partners including Reebok, Wilson, Muscle Milk and Mission Hospital.
