Baseball's No. 1 source for information is coming to a city near you. On
March 26, 2008, the Amateur Baseball Report was launched for baseball
enthusiasts across the country. Covering all the bases of USSSA baseball,
the ABR will finally fill the void of youth baseball coverage.
The Amateur Baseball Report is a youth-driven, state-specific baseball
magazine that will cover USSSA teams, players, and coaches. The ABR will
offer instructional/educational pieces for coaches and parents, rank teams
and players, and provide player journals and Q & A's for all involved. In
addition, the ABR will cover all USSSA tournaments, showcases, and
leagues.
The ABR is the first comprehensive baseball magazine to feature player
rankings. We have set a nationwide search to discover the best USSSA has
to offer. Our team of professionals (pro scouts, college coaches, and
former pro players) will be coming to your town to evaluate all interested
players ages 12-15.
The ID camps will be run with a combine format. Each player will be tested
on the five tools (Arm Strength, Fielding, Hitting, Power, and Running).
Our staff will grade out each player under the same criteria, and overall
grades will determine their ranking in the state.
To learn more about the ABR, please go to www.amateurbaseballreport.com or
contact Jeff Neumann at 708-444-2540.
"The Amateur Baseball Report is the next step in the evolution of USSSA
Baseball. USSSA Baseball has always strived to bring innovative and fresh
approaches to youth baseball. The ABR will enhance the players' and
parents' experience with USSSA; along with providing much needed education
about the game we all love."
