The 2023 Five Tool Hawaii Sandlot Classic enters its fourth year in existence. In the past two years, this event has seen players get recruited through Five Tool social media channels to various Division I (Power 5 Included), Division II, Division III, NAIA, and junior college schools. Players will showcase their skills on Day 1 at the Five Tool Pro-Style Combine. On Day 2-4, players will be split into teams with one game per day and compete for a championship on Day 4 (the top two teams will square off). There will be 10 teams in the Upperclass Division and four teams in the Underclass Division.
New to the Sandlot this year will be the Home Run Derby. At the conclusion of Day 1's showcase, select players will be invited to participate in this event. More details to come.
All activities will be held at the Patsy T. Mink Central O'ahu Regional Park. College coaches will be in attendance and full social media coverage provided with over 2,000 scouts and colleges following Five Tool channels online.
Players can opt-in to recruitment video packages which will features all highlights from the event. Day 1 will include 60s, defense and batting practice highlights. Day 2-4 will feature pitching and offensive highlights. Players can use these videos to share with college coaches and scouts as well as add it to their personal collection of baseball highlights. Colleges have recruited players through these recruitment videos seen on the Five Tool YouTube page (55.3K followers and good for college coaches).
Players will receive two jerseys each. Players are expected to wear their high school hats to represent their school.
A leaderboard will be kept for the Showcase portion of the event which will be featured on the Five Tool website. Players will see their videos posted automatically to the Five Tool website along with the Five Tool Hawaii Twitter page.
