What College Coaches
are Saying about the Mid-Atlantic High School Baseball

"Lou Holcomb
was one of the first people to contact me when I accepted
the Head Coaching job at Maryland and I was instantly
impressed by his passion and enthusiasm for high school
baseball in this region. It is easy to see why this event
is a tremendous success and has been an incredible resource
in providing collegiate opportunities for so many players."

a good look at the top talent in the Mid-Atlantic region.
We highly recommend it." Danny

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."

"Lou Holcomb's Mid-Atlantic
Showcase is a great event for high school baseball players
to be seen by a wide range of college coaches from all up
and down the east coast." Jay
Quinn, Assistant Baseball Coach, Columbia University
"The Mid-Atlantic
HS Baseball Classic, (Crab Claw Classic), is the original
match up of high school baseball talent of Maryland vs.
Virginia kids. Lou has been running this thing every August.
The event gives kids from this region a chance to get in
front of D1, 2, 3 college recruiters. Year in and year out
Lou's event turns out college players for all levels. At
George Washington University we look forward to the Classic
and feel if you are a high school baseball player who wants
to play in college, you will want to be at this event."
Steve Mrowka, Head Baseball
Coach, George Washington 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."

have been to many showcases and I have found that the Mid-Atlantic

by many top prospects on the east coast. Any coach who attends
will be satisfied. It is at the top of our list."

weekend." Craig Antush,
