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

"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 and Crab Claw Classic Game provide a tremendous opportunity for any prospective student-athlete to thoroughly display their current skills and future potential to college recruiters from quality D1, D2 AND D3 programs. At The Catholic University of America, we are looking for student-athletes who want to realize their full potential both on the field and in the classroom. Each year Lou has held this event, we have identified several prospects with the potential to become impact players in our program. I highly recommend this event as a great step in finding the “right fit” for any prospect striving to play at the next level.” Ross Natoli, Head Baseball Coach, Catholic 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)

"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

Towson University

As someone who has had a relationship with him for a number of years, I can attest to the fact that he goes above-and-beyond to help players find college opportunities where they can be successful. His evaluations of players are extremely accurate and truthful and if he recommends someone for my program I know I am getting not only a quality player, but high level individual as well.” Tom Sheridan, Head Coach, University of Mary Washington
