Four (4) game guarantee - Double Elimination Format - with the winner receiving a paid berth (with travel stipend) to the 2025 Connie Mack World Series in Farmington, New Mexico.

Why This Event Stands Out

  • Crown the Best:  The road to Farmington starts here. With talent-packed matchups, this tournament will feature the state’s finest.
  • College Exposure: College coaches will be in attendance, scouting for standout players.  Last year's event hosted 20 college scouts. This is your opportunity to get noticed and take the next step in your baseball journey.
  • Elite Facility: Franklin Ranch boasts four all-turf fields that deliver a professional playing experience while minimizing delays from weather. The facility’s scenic surroundings make it an ideal destination for teams and families alike.

Unparalleled Experience for Players and Families

Franklin Ranch is more than just a baseball complex—it’s a destination for everyone:

  • Top-Notch Competition: Teams will battle it out in a competitive format designed to bring out their best.
  • Family-Friendly Environment: With activities like fishing in the 2-acre stocked lake, hiking scenic trails, and the splash pad for younger siblings, the whole family will enjoy the weekend.

Franklin Ranch has earned a reputation as one of the top facilities in Texas. Combined with the Five Tool experience, this event promises exceptional organization, competitive play, and unmatched exposure opportunities.
