Area Code Invites in the Mail

Congrats...it's a great honor and great opportunity for your son!

How big a deal is an area code invite? From what I read this seems like one that daddy ball or money has nothing to do with just MLB scouts. If so congratulations to those involved.

You must be reccommended by a MLB scout to get an invite to Area Code Tryouts. They (the scouts that select the Rangers Area Code Team) pretty much know who they will select. However, there will be dozens (a conservative estimate is 50-150 college coaches from all levels) also in attendance.

When and where are the area code tryouts?

The Texas Rangers announced their dates and locations for the 2012 Area Code Baseball regionals. They will once again bring a team from Texas and Louisiana.

Monday, June 11: Weatherford College; Weatherford, Texas

Tuesday, June 26: Baseball USA, "The Yard"; Houston

It would be interesting to know which schools have the most players invited. Is there a list of invited players and their schools somewhere?

An article from a good website down here in Houston about A.C.

It would be very beneficial for any player invited who is interested in playing at the next level whether that's college or pro ball to attend the area code tryout. Whether or not you are selected for the team you will be seen by many colleges and pro scouts. Please do not waste this wonderful opportunity for your player to be seen

Does anyone know how many players total are invited to the Rangers tryout?

Is it done by class or is it one team? Do you know?
