Under Armour and Baseball Factory will host the UA Next All-America Game at Oriole Park at Camden Yards for the second consecutive year, welcoming many of the nation’s top high school baseball players to Baltimore on Sunday, August 30. The premier showcase event celebrates the next generation of the game, bringing together elite athletes from across the country for a weekend of competition, development and unforgettable experiences.
For the athletes competing, festivities will begin on Friday, August 28 with UA gear and uniform distribution and followed by a practice at Camden Yards, giving them an opportunity to train and prepare on a Major League field ahead of competition. The weekend continues with the Scout Showcase on Saturday, August 29, and the Home Run Derby, presented by Rawlings, on Sunday before the main event - the All-America Game - kicks off at 1:00 PM ET. The All-America athletes will also spend time at Under Armour’s HQ on the Baltimore Peninsula, where they will experience the brand's culture firsthand and get an exclusive look at the latest innovations in baseball performance.

Through our continued collaboration with Baseball Factory and our new partnership with the Baltimore Orioles, we're able to provide these elite athletes with the opportunity to learn, compete and showcase their talent at one of the sport's most historic venues."
