Arkansas Baseball Academy is tested at Arkansas State

The Arkansas Baseball Academy played the best of the best from the Midwest at Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, Arkansas. The tournament had three organizations competing to showcase their players in front of college coaches. The three organizations were the Arkansas Baseball Academy, St. Louis Gamers, and Dulin Dogdgers from Memphis.

Coach Matt Whiteside from the St. Louis Gamers said that he was impressed with the talent and play from the Arkansas Baseball Academy. Coach Whiteside also runs the Team USA - Midwest team, so he was part of the selection process for choosing Jackson Lowry and Taylor Wallace to be a part of Team USA in the Midwest.
