CPBL Prospects Games Weekend - Aug. 1-3

The CPBL Prospect Games bring together the top players from the league, divided into five categories.
For our 2025 event, the game categories will be as follows:

  • 2026 Grad Class (Largely 17U players and returning 18U players)
  • 2027 Grad Class (Largely 16U players)
  • 2028 Grad Class (Largely 15U players)
  • 14U Major
  • 14U Minor

Each game will be preceded by a MLB style scout day that will include 60yrd runs, full infield/outfield and batting practice. The game structure is designed to allow pitchers a fair opportunity to showcase themselves so each pitcher will throw approximately 20 pitches. The length of the games typically allow for position players to get 3 or more at bats.

Eligibility

CPBL players in the 14U Minor-18U divisions are eligible to participate in their respective groups ‘Prospect Game’ if they sign up and go through the tryout process. Players that are graduating from their program and attending college in the fall of 2025 are NOT eligible.

The selection process for all players who sign up includes a pro style workout day focused on assessing each player's physical attributes. Players will then be followed throughout the CPBL league play to access game play and to allow for players to fairly showcase their ability and grow their game.

The committee included in the selection process is comprised of CPBL executives, MLB Scouts, CPBL Organizational Leaders and the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Academy.

As part of our partnership with Perfect Game, they will attend the entire Prospects Weekend to scout, provide social media coverage and help select the Canadian Premier Teams.
