In 2016, we introduced the Amateur Baseball Championships (ABC), one of the nation’s premier summer events. The ABC has been widely successful since the introduction of the event. Last year, there were over 150 16u teams across multiple divisions. In 2022, this event will see 96 (invite-only) teams, making it one of the top 16u events nationwide. This 5-game, double pool play format, will begin Wednesday morning (7/6) and culminate Sunday afternoon (7/10). Teams will start in pools of 4. All teams will play 3 pool play games Wednesday/Thursday. Teams will then be re-pooled into either a Gold Pool, Silver Pool, or Bronze Pool. Teams will each play 2 more pool play games Friday/Saturday. Each gold, silver, and bronze pool winners will advance to a single elimination, winner take all bracket! In 2021, the ABC Series saw over 250 college schools/coaches in attendance. Don't miss your chance to play in this top 16u event in 2022!
