What is the Amateur Baseball Report (ABR)?

The Amateur Baseball Report (ABR) was developed to provide youth baseball participants the opportunity to gain national exposure and recognition through the orchestration of ABR events and media content. Through our Premier Player Ranking System, we provide individuals the ability to track national player progress and individual standings and offer constructive feedback on specific areas of the game.

With the involvement of USSSA (youth baseball's largest sanctioning body) and USA Baseball programs, the ABR stands alone as the only comprehensive exposure vehicle available to kids today. The serious baseball player and family now have the ability to gain premier level content derived from renowned industry specialists including current players, scouts, and coaches.
What is the ABR Magazine?
The ABR magazine is a youth driven (9U-18U) National Baseball magazine. The magazine incorporates instructional & educational pieces for parents and coaches written by renowned industry specialists, Q&A segments for coaches, USSSA league coverage, USSSA & ABR tournaments/showcase events, featured player journals, and premier player rankings.

ABR events serve as the foundation for the ABR Player Rankings and serve as qualifiers for the USSSA All-American Games. (Please Note: The USSSA All-American Games are an "invite-only" event and is open to 14U, 15U, 16U & 18U individuals nationwide)
2009 USSSA All-American Games

Kissimmee, FL: Osceola County Stadium Complex

 Each of the ABR events will serve as a qualifier for the 2009 USSSA All-American Games (14U-16U).  The USSSA All-American Games will host four separate age divisions for 14u, 15u, 16u, and 18u players. The ABR will invite 90 players per age division at the 14u-16u levels, separated into 6 regional teams with 15 players per team. To be invited to the regional tryout players must be identified through an ABR ID Camp or given an at-large bid. College coaches and scouts will be in attendance throughout the entire event. There will be an ABR Showcase, Scout Day, and each team will play 2-3 games.
