Recruiting Board
Prospect Wire was founded in 2005 by Matt Bomeisl to give high school baseball players a platform to promote their talents to college coaches and MLB scouts. Starting in Florida, Prospect Wire began organizing individual showcases and team tournaments for one of the most talent-rich states in the U.S. When Prospect Wire decided to take their events to other parts of the country, they decided to bring Jeff Spelman on board. Jeff was the founder of Team One Baseball in the early 90's and the pioneer of the showcase industry. Today, Prospect Wire has expanded their events into other parts of the United States with the goal of bringing a unique experience to players, coaches and families nationwide.
What We DoProspect Wire runs a variety of events such as individual showcases, team tournaments, combines, parent seminars, ID Camps, and more. By running these events, PW gets the first look at a lot of prospects and has established a database of accurate, reliable reports on high school players. The database is fed through Prospectwire.com and is viewable via the internet. Prospect Wire also works with colleges, and MLB Scouts to share information on prospects, help connect players to colleges, and to follow players as they progress through the different levels of baseball.
Why We Do ItWhen it comes to high school baseball, and high school sports in general, quality information is scattered all over the place. It can cause worthy players to get lost in the shuffle. PW Founder Matt Bomeisl was one of those players. Still unsigned for baseball after graduating from high school, Bomeisl caught on with a sponsored travel team in 1999 and played in a tournament over the summer in front of then-Florida Gators Head Coach Andy Lopez. Bomeisl committed to Florida on the spot, and has always dreamed of turning around and helping players in a similar fashion to the way he was helped in the summer of 1999.
