Paramount Scouting Bureau

The Paramount Scouting Bureau is your opportunity to showcase your talent in front of professional scouts and college coaches. Paramount Scouting Bureau is looking for the very best players across the country. There are numerous outstanding athletes who are not getting noticed, and we want to give you a chance to be seen by the college and professional scouts.

Paramount Scouting Bureau currently holds evaluation events for baseball and softball to provide athletes with a professional evaluation of their talents. When you attend a Paramount Scouting Bureau event, you are, in a sense, performing in front of all colleges and professional leagues. We have had success at sending baseball and softball players into junior colleges, all divisions of the NAIA and NCAA, and to all levels of independent, affiliate and international professional baseball.

Professional Baseball Opportunities

Paramount Scouting Bureau holds tryouts to evaluate players for positions with professional organizations. From independent leagues to affiliate teams, major league organizations, and even overseas opportunities in Germany, Switzerland, Holland, Australia, Italy, Sweden and other countries.

Paramount Scouting Bureau uses the evaluations from our showcases to help players find baseball opportunities at the professional level. If our scouts think a player is good enough, Paramount Scouting Bureau will provide the player’s information to the scouting directors for teams and leagues all over the world. We do not negotiate contracts; we simply provide trusted and respected evaluations and let the teams decide from there.

College Baseball and Softball Opportunities

Paramount Scouting Bureau showcases give you a chance to demonstrate your talents while seeing how you compare to other players your age. Paramount Scouting Bureau also gives college coaches a chance to stay ahead in the recruiting game by providing opportunities for coaches to see your talent or receive information about you. Since many schools no longer have the recruiting budget to travel to find players, colleges at all levels use our trusted and respected evaluations as part of their recruiting efforts. Players at our events have been offered scholarships on the spot, or sight unseen just from a coach receiving our evaluations.

Showcase Camp at Oakland Community College

   The Paramount Scouting Bureau is holding a showcase camp at Oakland Community College in Auburn Hills, MI on Saturday, February 11, 2012. The event, open to girls in grades eight through twelve, begins at 9:00 am in Building H.

   The showcase camp is an opportunity for girls to perform for college coaches at one or several positions.

Paramount Scouting Bureau will then make the results available to college softball coaches across the country.

   Each athlete in the showcase camp will attend a college recruiting seminar and participate in Softball Fit, a series of softball specific skills tests.

   The USSSA All-American Games are an invite only event consisting of the top individuals at the 14 – 16u age level that we have seen from throughout the country. The event will be held at the Houston Astros Spring Training Complex in Kissimmee, FL in August. Top performers at the USSSA All-American Games earn a spot on a USSSA National Team. The 17u USSSA National Team (16u at the All-American Games) will travel internationally. The 15u and 16u USSSA National Teams will compete in the USSSA Gold Medal Games.

   These events are a unique experience for everybody involved. The USSSA All-American Games not only provide the collegiate and professional exposure that is necessary to compete at the next level, but also gives an opportunity to represent your country as part of the USSSA National Teams.  Players can find additional information and showcase registration forms on the baseball showcase page.

Pre-Amateur Draft Baseball Camp

  Paramount Scouting Bureau conducts annual Pre-Amateur Draft Baseball Camps in May. These event allow pro scouts to get one last look at draft-eligible players before the June Major League Baseball Amateur Draft. This event is only for draft-eligible college and high school players, along with players looking to re-enter the draft. It also gets you in the system for when teams contact Paramount Scoiuting Bureau when looking to sign free agents.

   Paramount Scouting Bureau is planning camps in Pittsburgh, Indiana and Georgia.

   The professional scouting staff of Paramount Scouting Bureau evaluates players on their 60-yard times, hitting, fielding, throwing, pitching and catching.  After we evaluate each player, we determined at what level, if any, the player can compete, including Major League affiliates, independent leagues, overseas.

   Paramount Scouting Bureau is in contact with major league teams and other professional organizations in need of players. Several major league teams have committed to sending members of their scouting staff to observe players as they participate in the workouts.  Following the events, the Paramount Scouting Bureau contacts and continues to contact teams to see if there is interest in players evaluated at the Pre-Amateur Draft Camps. We also keep information on players at the camp as teams contact us throughout the year in need of players. Paramount Scouting Bureau receives requests almost daily from pro teams looking to replace players who get released, promoted or injured.

Paramount Youth Baseball Camps

   Paramount Scouting Bureau is now working with baseball players age nine- through 13-years-old to provide them an opportunity to be instructed and evaluated by college coaches and professional scouts. In the Paramount Scouting Bureau Youth Baseball Camps, players will be split up into groups based on their respective age level and experience four main stations for the camp: infield, outfield, batting, and throwing. Each group will spend time at each station, giving players the opportunity to learn and be evaluated at each aspect of the game. Following the stations, players will go through a skills evaluation consisting of running, velocity from infield and outfield, pitching, catching, and hitting.

   Each player at the camp will be given an ABR Player Profile Page. The profile page will list the results from the camp: how fast each player ran, how fast each player threw the baseball from the infield, outfield, and the mound. Also, catchers will be given the chance to throw down to second and get their velocity and pop times recorded. To go along with the statistical data posted on the Player Profile Page, comments from the ABR Instructors will also be available for each player to see.

   The top players at the camp may be invited to represent their state and compete against other state teams in the USSSA Junior Games. Go to the showcase page for dates, times, and to register.
