The All American Prospects have announced that former major leaguer, Brook Fordyce, will join the Prospects staff in a variety of roles effective immediately. He will be the Head of Instruction and Director of Player Development. Brook will manage the new 14U Developmental Program and will be a part of the coaching staff during the Summer of 2010.
BIO- Brook Fordyce is Owner and Lead Instructor of the Frozen Ropes of Stuart.

In 1996, he was named Class AAA All-Star Game most valuable player, and compiled an 11 game hitting streak, along with 16 career highs of 16 home runs and 64 RBI's, being voted the top catcher in the American Association.
In 1999, in his first American League season with the Chicago White Sox, he held a .297 average with 9 home runs and 49 RBI's - his average was the 2nd highest among American League catchers and was the highest by a White Sox catcher since 1970. In 2000, he signed with the Orioles, and posted a .301 average with 14 home runs and 49 RBI's, and was in the top 5 American League catchers with a .507 slugging percentage.

Prospects to administer Mental Aptitude Testing used by MLB teams.
11/22/2009
The All American Prospects announced today the new Mental Aptitude Program. This test is similar to the pre-draft screening widely used in MLB circles on how to use the mind to maximize performance. Results are immediately returned and members of the Prospects Professional staff will administer and review each test. At the conclusion, we will devise programs tailored to the individual based on strengths and weaknesses. This program will undoubtedly prepare our student-athletes further on and off the baseball field. Please email us at staff@aaprospects.com for more information on this one of a kind program.

All American Prospects Steal the Show at the 2009 UnderArmour All-American Game
8/11/2009
All American Prospect players Yordy Cabrera (pictured below)
and Nick Castellanos (pictured above) batted third and fourth respectively for the Baseball Factory team in the 2009 edition of the UnderArmour All American Game. Castellanos was named the game MVP after a 4-4 performance at the plate with 4 doubles. He also won the Homerun Derby that took place prior to the game knocking numerous baseballs into the Wrigley Field bleachers. Not to be outdone, Yordy Cabrera blasted a deep homerun into the leftfield bleachers during the game. Cabrera will also participate in the Aflac All American Game that takes place on Saturday, August 15th, 2009. The game will be televised on Fox Sports Net nationwide. Congratulations to these fine young men and the Prospects Family for a job well done.
All American Prospects Claim 3rd Major National Title in a Row!
6/28/2009
Alexander Fernandez doubled home Omar Garcia in the bottom of the 6th to put the All American Prospects Red ahead for the first time in the championship game after having spotted their oponent, Triple Threat Baseball Academy, a 9-0 lead in the first inning. Fernandez, who was 3-5 on the day, would eventually come around to score and the Prospects would hang on for an 11-9 win at the blue quad at Roger Dean Stadium.
Albert Almora was 4-5 with a double, RBI, and 2 runs to compliment some stellar defensive plays in centerfield for the gold medalists. Jarred Mederos was 4-4 with a double, 3 RBI, and 3 runs scored. Randy Lopez picked up the victory on the mound following a gutsy performance by Jandyr Brito.
The All American Prospects now hold the WWBA UnderClass World Championship, AABC Mickey Mantle World Series, and USA Baseball 16U National Championship at the same time. Congratulations to all the players and coaches for this amazing feat!
