The two-day event will take place July 16 and 17 to showcase the best of the best across all 16 WCL teams. It will include a community adaptive baseball game, a player pro-style workout featuring MLB scouts and a skills challenge featuring some of the All-Stars. The game itself will be played on July 17 at Joe Martin Field.
