Description
As an academic baseball player, this is your opportunity to get in front of several college coaches from some of the best schools in America, very inexpensively.
The summer East Cobb Patriots Academic Showcase will be held July 6, 2022, at Oglethorpe University on the northside of Atlanta at 4484 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, Ga 30319. 2024, 2023, and 2022 graduates, College Players in the Transfer Portal, as well as Junior College Players with a 3.0 GPA, or better, are invited to attend.
We expect 25-30 college coaches from academic schools throughout the country to attend. Kennesaw State, Centre, Sewanee, Emory, Rhodes, Covenant, Piedmont, Mercer, Davidson, Delaware State and Oglethorpe have committed to attend so far. The coaches list will continue to grow as the season progresses. For instance, in addition to the schools that have already committed to attend, Harding, Coast Guard, Maryville, Berry, Millsaps, LaGrange, Transylvania, Emmanuel, Samford, Georgetown, Georgia Southern, Birmingham Southern, Texas-Dallas, Cornell and Young Harris attended our last Showcase. Most will come back again and we will add a few new schools.
Emory Coach Bobby Perez: The East Cobb Academic Showcase is a great event we attend every year. It provides us an opportunity to see outstanding baseball players with outstanding grades. The number of student-athletes mixed with all the great colleges that attend is a win-win situation for both.
Mercer Head Coach Craig Gibson on the Showcase: Over the years, Jim Lovejoy and his staff have done a tremendous job identifying high level academic collegiate baseball players. The camp is always extremely organized and structured with each participant having the opportunity to show case his skills. This event is a must for our staff as we kick off our summer recruiting.
