Tucson, AZ - The 2008 Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Tournament featured nearly 250 players from 38 different states and two countries. These players headed to the Arizona desert to kick off the high school season. At least thirty Major League scouts representing over twenty-two different Major League organizations attended the event. There were a few particular players the scouts came to see, but they left with a larger follow list than they came with.
The Arizona Diamondbacks were gracious to host the event in its third year at the Kino Sports Complex. The level play on the field lived up to the quality of the venue. With a coaching staff made up of numerous big league coaches and scouts, the players were treated like big leaguers and they responded with an entertaining and high level of play.
Our scouting staff compiled a list of the Top Ten Seniors who attended the event. We selected these players based upon workouts, overall projectability and tournament game play.
