25 years ago, we created the country’s first showcase platform for high-academic baseball & softball players, and we have been dedicated to the journey of academic players, their families, and the college programs that fit this profile ever since.
Our carefully curated events deliver a high concentration of academic college programs at a single facility for personal connection and 360-degree player exposure, including metrics, video, showcase reps, and live gameplay.
Guaranteed access to college coaches. Our events provide dedicated face-to-face time with coaches, with a player-to-coach ratio of less than 4:1.
Focused evaluation. Our formula and expert event staff allow coaches to prioritize evaluating and connecting with players rather than hitting fungoes and throwing batting practice.
3.5x more gameplay and action. Players get far more playing time, reps and on-field action than any other academic showcases. This means more opportunities to catch a coach’s eye and more chances to shine.
Efficiency & timesaving for families. In just two days at Headfirst, your family gains more focused recruiting value than in months of travel and effort often spent pursuing unclear exposure at other events and tournaments.
| Headfirst | ...everything else |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed direct access to college coaches | Being separated by chain link at tournaments, hoping that they see you play |
| 360-degree exposure to college coaches that includes showcase reps, gameplay, metrics and data, video, and direct interaction with college coaches | One-dimensional, gameplay-only format at tournaments |
| Engaged coaches who are focused on evaluating, recruiting, and connecting with players | Other academic showcases where coaches are asked to throw BP, hit fungoes - all taking their focus off evaluating and recruiting players |
| 3.5x more gameplay opportunity than other academic showcase camps | Other showcases churn through as many players as possible without maximizing playing time or opportunity for players |
| Less than 4:1 player-to-coach ratio | Large, overcrowded showcases where you feel like just a number and it's too crowded for you to meaningfully connect with college coaches |
| One facility, all the coaches - all eyes on you | Coaches spread across multiple facilities, unable to see YOU, no guarantee that they're watching YOU |
| Targeted, efficient exposure to a high concentration of high-academic programs | Undifferentiated exposure to schools you have no interest in, and that aren't the right fit |
