17U State Championship at Franklin Ranch

Step onto the field at one of Texas's most pristine baseball facilities for the 17U State Championship, hosted by Five Tool at Franklin Ranch in Franklin, Texas. This premier event isn’t just a tournament; it’s a chance for your team to compete at the highest level while showcasing their skills in front of college coaches and scouts looking for the next big talent.

Why This Event Stands Out

  • Crown the Best: Compete for the prestigious title of 17U State Champion of Texas against the top teams in the State. With talent-packed matchups, this tournament will feature the state’s finest.
  • College Exposure: College coaches will be in attendance, scouting for standout players. 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.
