The annual Perfect Game National Showcase will take place at LoanDepot Park, home of the Miami Marlins, for the first time from July 1 to 5, according to Perfect Game, the leading youth baseball and softball platform and scouting service in the world.
Following successful stints at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, Chase Field in Phoenix, and Petco Park in San Diego—home ballparks of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks, and San Diego Padres, respectively—Perfect Game is now hosting its first-ever event at loanDepot Park, further extending the company’s presence inside Major League Baseball venues. Some of the biggest events in professional sports have taken place at LoanDepot Park since it opened in 2010, such as the 2023 and 2026 World Baseball Classic, the 2026 NHL Winter Classic, and the 2017 MLB All-Star Game.
The Perfect Game National Showcase is widely considered the most prominent showcase in amateur baseball, bringing together the best high school players in the country for top-tier exposure to college recruiters and professional scouts. More than 3,000 National Showcase contestants have been chosen in the MLB Draft since its inception in 2001, and more than 600 of them have gone on to play in Major League Baseball.
“The National Showcase represents the highest level of amateur baseball evaluation,” stated Jered Goodwin, Perfect Game’s Vice President of Scouting Operations. “Bringing this event to loanDepot park is a testament to both the caliber of the players involved and Perfect Game’s continued commitment to providing unforgettable experiences with a major league look and feel.”
The National Showcase also serves as the final and most important step in the selection process for the Perfect Game DICK’S All-American Classic, which takes place each August and features the top 60 amateur baseball players across North America.
“As Miami-Dade commemorates our nation’s 250th anniversary, there’s no better way to come together than around America’s favorite pastime—baseball,” stated Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “We are honored to welcome our nation’s top high school athletes to our county to show the world their talent.”
Alex Bregman, Francisco Lindor, Freddie Freeman, Buster Posey, Kyle Tucker, Paul Skenes, and Bobby Witt Jr. are just a few of the future Major League Baseball stars who have been on the National Showcase roster over the years. Together, they have won one MVP award, one Cy Young award, 23 All-Star selections, seven Gold Gloves, and 14 Silver Slugger awards.
The fact that LoanDepot Park hosts the National Showcase gives competitors a unique chance to compete and be spotted on a Major League field, enhancing the event’s standing as a springboard for baseball’s future stars.
