What College Coaches Have to Say about
the Mid-Atlantic High School Baseball Classic

"Crab Claw Classic"

"The Mid-Atlantic Showcase has developed into one of the best showcases on the east coast. Year after year the caliber of player is exceptionally high, making it a must attend for players, coaches, and scouts."

Jeff Palumbo, Assistant Coach, George Mason University

"I have been to many showcases and I have found that the Mid-Atlantic Showcase will give college coaches a look at quality players that fit all programs. It is well organized and attended by many top prospects on the east coast. Any coach who attends will be satisfied. It is at the top of our list."

Barry Davis, Head Baseball Coach, Rider University

"The Mid-Atlantic Showcase has grown into one of the Top showcases on the east coast and continues to draw premier players from our region. Lou's primary objective is exposure for young athletes and this event certainly gives athletes a tremendous opportunity to showcase their abilities to college and pro scouts."
Terry Rupp, Head Baseball Coach, University of Maryland

"The Mid-Atlantic Showcase is a "goldmine" of high school prospects. Any coach can fulfill his needs in one weekend."

Craig Antush, Assistant Baseball Coach, Youngstown State University

"The Mid-Atlantic Showcase had a significant number of Division I prospects and of the 5 players we signed in the early signing period 4 were at this showcase. Certainly the number one showcase in Maryland and rapidly becoming one of the top showcases in the Mid-Atlantic area."

Mike Gottlieb, Head Baseball Coach, Towson University

"The Mid-Atlantic Showcase is one of the premier events in perhaps the busiest part of the baseball recruiting season. Lou Holcomb does a tremendous job, not only in bringing the top players together, but also knowing the particular needs of the many college programs who deal with him on a regular basis. This event provides for us a terrific opportunity to identify the best talent in the area."

Greg Manco, Assistant Coach, Saint Joseph's University (PA)

"Awesome! This showcase is filled with exactly what we are looking for, motivated young men. Year in and year out Lou is running kids out there that have the talent to play the game and have a respect for the educational side of this whole thing. (Crab Claw Classic) A first class operation that our program looks forward to being involved with for a long time.
