USA Baseball
Since 1978, USA Baseball has been the national governing body for the sport of baseball. USA Baseball governs more than 15.6 million amateur players in ballparks and playgrounds across the country. As the commissioner's office for amateur baseball, USA Baseball is a resource center for its various membership group, fans, and players. USA Baseball is also responsible for promoting and developing the game of baseball on the grassroots level, both nationally and internationally.
National Team identification series
The NTIS utilizes a six-region system for the initial player identification process. The six regions consist of the Midwest, Northeast, Northwest, South, Southeast and Southwest. All six NTIS regions will be managed and operated by a USA Baseball-appointed Regional Director. Each Regional Director is responsible for the planning and execution of the player identification process for their assigned region(s), and will ultimately name the All-Region teams that will move on to the NTIS Champions Cup.
USA Baseball 2025 National Team Identification Series Events
I am very excited to support the USA Baseball organization in Oregon and Idaho. The USA Baseball National Team Identification Series (NTIS) is the most comprehensive player identification program offered by USA Baseball. Launched in 2009, the program was created to provide all athletes from across the United States an opportunity to compete for a spot on a USA Baseball national team.
The NTIS includes six age groups and must conform to the following international age guidelines:
16U NTIS: born on or after Jan. 1, 2010 OR born on or after Jan. 1, 2009 with an anticipated 2027 grad year
15U NTIS: born on or after Jan. 1, 2011
14U NTIS: born on or after Jan. 1, 2012
13U NTIS: born on or after Jan. 1, 2013
12U NTIS: born on or after Jan. 1, 2014
11U NTIS: born on or after Jan. 1, 2015
Players from across the country will begin the identification process by participating in camps and tryouts at the local level in their designated region. Every region will name 30 athletes from the 11U and 12U age groups, and 36 athletes from each of the 13U, 14U, 15U and 16U age groups, to two All-Region teams that will participate in the NTIS Champions Cup at the USA Baseball National Training Complex in Cary, North Carolina.
