Along with managers from all 18 Frontier League clubs, scouts from several MLB teams and other independent leagues will also be present.


Tryout activities will begin at 9:00 a.m. on April 20 and will include fielding, throwing, and baserunning drills for all position players; all position players will also participate in batting practice. Pitchers will throw bullpens in front of team and league evaluators and scouts. The field managers will then post which players are to be invited back for Tuesday's simulated intrasquad game. Following the game, there will be a 30-minute break to allow each team to prepare for the draft.

 

“With the Tryout Camp and Draft leading directly to our spring trainings, managers use this event to fill out their rosters and provide competition for the regular season team,” said Frontier League Commissioner Steve Tahsler. “The number of players who make impacts on playoff teams each season demonstrates our highly teams value this event each year.”

Of the 49 players taken in the 2025 draft, 21 saw regular-season action in the Frontier League, and four more played in other MLB Partner Leagues. Players originally signed through the Tryout Camp and Draft have been acquired by Major League Baseball organizations in each of the past four seasons.

 

ForeFront Field is located off I-90 at exit 151/Colorado Ave in Avon, OH, approximately 30-45 minutes from Cleveland and 25 minutes from Cleveland Hopkins International Airport.
