Most Valuable Player is excited hosting a showcase on the Top of the Line, Completely Turfed Naval Academy's Max Bishop Stadium located in Annapolis, Maryland
When: Friday/Saturday August 25-26, 2006 Cost: $375
As with all Most Valuable Player events we expect over 20 college coaches from MD, NY, DE, NJ, NC, AL, SC to be there.
Questions, please give me a call at (410) 721-4203.
Our approach is only 8 positional players per team, and the pitchers, although they pitch in the games under a pitch count, they are not associated to any team.
So if they are a pitcher only, the fee is only $200.00. If they are a positional player who would like to pitch also, the overall fee is $400.00.
Just got word that Georgia State and Oglethorpe will be in attendance.
Please register right away, as we only allow 8 positional players on a team. This is going to be good and I really do not want to turn anyone away because a particular position is filled.
Questions, do not hesitate to give me a call or e-mail me.

Although I would gladly accept Pitchers, we are excited about the turn-out! Right now we have 37 pitchers.
We only have a need for two (2) Middle Infielders. Barring injury, all other positions are filled.
SPECIAL NOTE: If you are willing to come as a Pitcher only, the cost is reduced to $100.00 which includes the following:
1. Pitch in one game 2. Most Valuable Player will provide you a written evaluation identifying what you do well, what you need to work on, and what you can do to reduce your weaknesses. 3. At no additional cost we will forward an excerpt of your evaluation to college coaches we believe you can play at.

I don't think the participants could have asked for a nicer facility than the Naval Academy's Max Bishop Stadium to showcase themselves. Impressive is an understatement. The (2) game format was great, along with the coaches getting to see them take pre-game warm-up. I was most impressed by the willingness of the college coaches in attendance to answer questions about their programs. Some might have expected them to arrive, watch then leave, however, this was not the case. Nice job. Thank you…

My son attended this event and really enjoyed it. One thing about Al is he really cares for the kids. We traveled with him last summer to Florida and I got to see that over several days. My wife who did not make the trip to Florida but did make it to the academy made that exact comment about half way through the day. Al constantly is talking to all the players , encouraging them and congratulating them on good plays. Never once did I hear anything negative. He also works very hard for the players afterwards. Thanks AL!

Sounds like it was a great Showcase. Sorry that our Son had to miss it do to Fall Ball. To make it worse the Fall Ball tournament was pretty much a washout weekend. We do know how hard Al works for the players that he knows.
