Baseball has always been truly the predominant team sport in the United States, and it is hard to find a high school or college that does not field a team. The sport has also been increasing in popularity internationally and, besides such well known hotbeds of baseball as Latin America and Asia, new professional teams and leagues are sprouting up in places that many people would never have associated with the game – such as Switzerland. The fact that baseball will become an Olympic sport in 2008 is a testament to the sport’s worldwide popularity.

Global Scouting Bureau bridges the geographical gaps to connect the players, teams, and fans of the baseball world together in one place. Since our inception in 1998, GSB has helped thousands of baseball players receive professional contracts and college scholarships. We have helped dozens of professional teams, and a large number of colleges, from around the world to find the talent they need to fill out their rosters.

Players, coaches, and leagues know that they can look to GSB to help skilled athletes and teams in search of talent to find each other.

Professional Baseball

Global Scouting Bureau has gotten over 1600 players signed to professional contracts in more than 17 countries, and with all current Independent League and Major League Baseball teams. Our proven track record of success is recognized throughout the baseball world – even to the extent that GSB has arrangements with various professional teams and leagues to subcontract part of their scouting to us.

Throughout the year, GSB holds professional showcase events attended by a variety of professional baseball scouts who are able to assess and document player skills. Players have their abilities documented in our online database, where they become available for review by teams and scouts from around the world. Often, players with the right skills are offered contracts by the end of the showcase event.

College Baseball

A college team’s recruitment of players can only be so extensive. Limitations of time, budget, and geography are major constraints even for the largest athletic programs, let alone schools with more limited resources. With hundreds of schools to sort among, most high school players looking to bring their game to the next level simply cannot count on getting exposure to more than a dozen or so colleges and universities.

GSB can help level the recruiting playing field by providing colleges and universities access to a large pool of players from across the USA and the rest of the world. Likewise, GSB is able to bring exposure to players who otherwise may not have been recruited because of geographic or budgetary limitations that have nothing to do with a players skills or determination.

Throughout the year, GSB holds college-oriented showcase events attended by a variety of college coaches and scouts who are able to assess and document player skills. Players have their abilities documented in our online database, where they become available for review by college coaches and scouts. Often, players with the right skills are offered scholarships by the end of the showcase event.
