Elevated Exposure Event scouted by NTIS/USA Baseball (2.27.23)

In partnership with USA Baseball, Firecracker Sports hosted a qualifying event of the National Team Identification Series (NTIS) at the CT Capitals Baseball Academy this past Monday.  We saw 30 players attend the pro-style workout, with ages ranging from 10 years old to 16.  Thank you to the CT Capitals baseball program for allowing us to host at their facility.

While each player displayed their abilities for the evaluators, we would like to highlight some top performers from the event as well as some younger guys to keep an eye on this spring and summer.  Click on each player throughout this article to see their recruiting profile!
