The Hank Aaron Invitational is happening very soon. MLB is often doing showcases of talent in the minor leagues (the Future's Game, for example) and the major leagues (the All-Star Game, naturally). With this event, they are striving to highlight talent that's not currently with a team.
The Hank Aaron Invitational is a yearly "youth-oriented, on-field diversity initiative that strives to get high school-age players with diverse backgrounds to the next levels of the game."
High school prospects are the lifeblood of the game. Several of this year's first-round picks came out of high school, including the third overall pick Max Clark. Top overall prospect Jackson Holliday was a high school pick.
Details on Hank Aaron Invitational
Fortunately, the entire Hank Aaron Invitational will be available for viewing. It begins at 8 p.m. EST on MLB Network. Fans can head over to the network at that time to catch the event.
That also means it will be streamed on their channels. This is a big event for the prospects of baseball and the league wants to show them off.
Prospects will get to compete with one another on live television, which is a rare chance for them. Furthermore, this will be an excellent way to impress scouts and team front offices, so expect the strongest performances from these players.
