A Direct Path to Professional Opportunity

The tryouts will combine elite instruction, measurable data, and an opportunity to earn a roster spot in one of the most dynamic baseball projects in the Americas. 5 regions  96 players per country. 

Players will pay a $50 tryout fee, which will be credited toward the $100 registration fee for those who are selected — making the evaluation process both affordable and meaningful.

This initiative is designed primarily for players to compete in the Puerto Rico Region under the PRIBL (Puerto Rico Independent Baseball League) structure — a key affiliate of the Panamerican Independent Baseball League.

Players who possess a valid passport or travel visa may also have the opportunity to participate in one of the other international regions — including Mexico, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, and others — making this program a truly international opportunity.
