Paramount Scouting Bureau

 

The Paramount Scouting Bureau is your opportunity to showcase your talent in front of professional scouts and college coaches. The Paramount Scouting Bureau is looking for the very best players across the country. There are numerous outstanding athletes who are not getting noticed, and we want to give you a chance to be seen by the college and professional scouts.


   The Paramount Scouting Bureau currently holds evaluation events for baseball and softball to provide athletes with a professional evaluation of their talents. When you attend a Paramount Scouting Bureau event, you are, in a sense, performing in front of all colleges and professional leagues. We have had success at sending baseball and softball players into junior colleges, all divisions of the NAIA and NCAA, and to all levels of independent, affiliate and international professional baseball.

 

College Baseball and Softball Opportunities

     Paramount Scouting Bureau showcases give you a chance to demonstrate your talents while seeing how you compare to other players your age. The Paramount Scouting Bureau also gives college coaches a chance to stay ahead in the recruiting game by providing opportunities for coaches to see your talent or receive information about you. Since many schools no longer have the recruiting budget to travel to find players, colleges at all levels use our trusted and respected evaluations as part of their recruiting efforts. Players at our events have been offered scholarships on the spot, or sight unseen just from a coach receiving our evaluations.


   Along with our recruiting partner National Scouting Report, the Paramount Scouting Bureau promotes athletes to colleges throughout the United States. National Scouting Report, America's premier scouting service for college coaches and high school athletes since launching the industry in 1980, promotes the showcases and sends the results from each showcase to every college coach in the country.

 

Professional Baseball Opportunities

   The Paramount Scouting Bureau also holds try outs to evaluate players for positions with professional organizations. From independent leagues to affiliate teams, and even overseas opportunities in Australia, Italy, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Holland, and other countries, The Paramount Scouting Bureau uses the evaluations from our showcases to help players find baseball opportunities at the professional level. If our scouts think a player is good enough, The Paramount Scouting Bureau will provide the player’s information to the scouting directors for teams and leagues all over the world. We do not negotiate contracts; we simply provide trusted and respected evaluations and let the teams decide from there.
  

Pre-Amateur Draft Baseball Camp

     The Paramount Scouting Bureau will conduct its first Pre-Amateur Draft Baseball Camp on May 19, 2010 at Pullman Park in Butler, PA.  This event is for pro scouts to get one last look at draft-eligible players before the June Major League Baseball Amateur Draft.  This event is only for draft-eligible college and high school players, along with players looking to re-enter the draft.  The professional scouting staff of the Paramount Scouting Bureau will evaluate players on their 60-yard times, hitting, fielding, throwing, pitching and catching.  After we evaluate each player, we will determine at what level, if any, the player can compete, including:

          1. Major League affiliates
          2. Independent League
          3. Overseas
          4. No Prospect.

     The Paramount Scouting Bureau is in contact with major league teams and other professional organizations in need of players.  Several major league teams have committed to sending members of their scouting staff to observe players as they participate in the workout.  Following the event, the Paramount Scouting Bureau will contact teams to see if there is interest in players evaluated at the Pre-Amateur Draft Camp.  We also keep information on players at the camp as teams contact us throughout the year in need of players.  The Paramount Scouting Bureau receives requests almost daily from pro teams looking to replace players who get released, promoted or injured.  Go to the baseball showcase page to register for the Pre-Amateur Draft Camp.

Desert League Tryouts

   The Paramount Scouting Bureau will conduct a professional baseball tryout camp August 27-29, 2010 for the Desert League, a new Independent League based on the West Coast.  The Paramount Scouting Bureau will test the players in all skills and the teams will evaluate then draft the players of their choice. " I appreciate the trust that the league has in us to conduct this tryout camp," says the Paramount Scouting Bureau Director of Professional Scouting Claudio Reilsono. “We conduct our camps in a very honest, precise, professional way and the league recognizes this. We are honored to be a part of such an exciting venture." The Desert League will begin play for its inaugural season in September of 2010.  Watch for more information and tryout registrations forms after March 15, 2010.
