2020 World Showcase

The 2020 Perfect Game World Showcase will be held from Jan. 18-19 at the Terry Park Sports Complex in Fort Myers, Florida.

Running since 1997 as the top off-season scouting event of its kind, the PG World Showcase brings in players from Canada, Latin America, Japan, and Europe to compete in front of scouts.

Zack Greinke was one of the early prospects to make himself known at the World Showcase, doing so in 2001. More recently, Carlos Correa announced himself as the best player in the 2012 class while attending the World Showcase, with Perfect Game bumping him to the top spot in the class to reflect his work at the showcase, and later being taken with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 draft by the Houston Astros.

Other MLB players who have come from outside the United States and also attended the World Showcase include Geovany Soto, Jose Morales, Edwin Diaz, Rafael Devers, and Jose Orlando Berrios.

A number of American-born MLB players have also attended, including Nick Castellanos, Mike Clevinger, Carl Crawford, Yasmani Grandal, Adam Jones, Andrew Miller, Jameson Taillon, Justin Upton, and Michael Zunino.
