The Frontier League announced Friday that its annual open tryout and player draft will be held April 22-23 at Wild Things Park.
“Being the geographic center of the new-look Frontier League, we have been looking forward to hosting the league tryout again,” said Wild Thing’ president and general manager Tony Buccilli. “There have been so many great stories of players from this event being seen, drafted and becoming an impact player or signing with an MLB club. This will draw hundreds of players from across the
country to Washington County and be the prime opportunity to earn a roster spot in professional baseball.”
All 16 Frontier League teams will be represented at the workouts and scouts from multiple Major League Baseball teams also attend each season.
Advance registration is available at

Following workouts the first day, the managers will post a list of players invited back for an intersquad game April 23. At the conclusion of the games, the player draft will be held.
Over the last 13 seasons, an average of 35 players have been drafted and signed to spring training contracts.
“We always have tremendous success identifying players through the tryout camp and draft. Every season our managers sign players who make significant impacts on their rosters and move into Major League organizations,” said new Frontier League commissioner Steve Tahsler.
