Under Armour Next Prospect Tour Set For 7 Events In 2025

Any player participating at the Under Armour Next Prospect Tour powered by Baseball Factory will play in at least three games in a showcase-type environment.

But that’s really only a sliver of what will take place during each three-day event. There are offensive and defensive workouts where video will be taken and measurables recorded. Each player will get their exit velocity, pitch velocities, home-to-first times and other on-field analytical data, as well as athletic testing (10 and 60-yard dash times, broad jumps, grip strength and more).

But the goal is to also provide each player with more in-depth and personalized testing to help them identify strengths and weaknesses they can then work to refine.

There will be Microgate’s reactive/cognitive testing to measure how quickly players’ neural pathways work. There will be p°Motion’s testing on range of motion for different joints, which will help identify concerns and weaknesses in flexibility. Players will then be provided with individualized programs on how to increase their flexibility and range of motion.

And there will be sessions on scouting and college recruiting to help prepare players for their next steps.

“We are committed to helping each player become the best they can be both on and off the field,” said Steve Bernhardt, vice president of baseball operations for Factory Athletics. “Our coaches and scouts understand the positive impact they can make on each player and value the opportunity to be a part of their development through the UA Next Prospect Tour.”

The Next Prospect Tour is for players from the 2026 to 2030 graduating classes. Participants will compete against players within their own age ranges at the events.

There are seven different events in the tour stretching from July to September, with events set for the West Coast, Four Corners, Midwest, Southeast and Northeast. Here’s look at the schedule:

• July 25-27: Great Park, Irvine, Calif.
• Aug. 1-3: Jet Blue Park at Fenway South, Fort Myers, Fla.
• Aug. 15-17: The Ripken Experience®, Myrtle Beach, S.C.
• Aug. 19-21: Diamond Nation, Flemington, N.J.
• Aug. 22-24: Sports Force Parks at Cedar Point Sports Center, Sandusky, Ohio
• Aug. 29-31: Hoover Met Complex, Hoover, Ala.
• Sept 19-21: Goodyear Ballpark Spring Training Facility, Goodyear, Ariz.

Each event will be scouted and analyzed by Baseball Factory’s scouting staff, which will send their information to college coaches. The best players will be selected to participate in the UA Next National Prospect Games from Dec. 20-22 at IMG Academy’s facilities in Bradenton, Fla. Select players may also be picked for this year’s Under Armour All-America Game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards on Sept. 13 or for next year’s All-America Game.
