Strong Competition – High Visibility – Great Destination
USA Premier Baseball was established by Si Pettrow in 1995 with the original 4th of July Firecracker Classic, one of the top summer tournaments in the Nation! Much excitement surrounds the Firecracker Classic and it is an event you won’t want to miss. Building on success, the Christmas Classic Tournament was launched in 1999 and the Fall Classic Tournament was established in 2003. The Summer League is one of the largest in the nation, serving Southern California and expanding with other areas participating. There is also a Fall League available for local Southern California teams. The growth and support of teams, college coaches and scouts has been the collective force that has resulted in the success experienced today! 200+ teams will participate in the Firecracker Classic, over 50+ Major League Baseball Players have made their tour through USA Premier Baseball ranks.
Prospect Wire Advantage
USA Premiere Baseball and Prospect Wire teamed up in December 2023. Prospect Wire runs a variety of events ranging from individual player showcases, team tournaments, ID Camps, to All-American Games and more. These events allow Prospect Wire to capture a database of player information that is easily transferable to evaluators in the industry. In the last few years, Prospect Wire has become an industry leader in producing high quality player videos at our events. These videos get posted to various social media platforms for college coaches and scouting evaluators to get eyes on baseball players across the country.
If You Don’t Play with the Best, Why Play at All…
The best teams come from around the nation and internationally to play against the strongest competition and receive the broadest showcase visibility of their player’s talent to hundreds of college coaches and professional scouts throughout the year. We are based in Southern California and offer teams the chance to advance to Regional, World Series, and National Championship events through sanctioned leagues or qualifier tournaments. Our summer league and designated qualifying tournaments are associated with American Amateur Baseball Congress (AABC), giving expanded opportunities for advancement to AABC Regionals and World Series
