6th Annual Diversity in Baseball HBCU Showcase

By DJ Beal

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Knothole Foundation is proud to present the 6th Annual Diversity in Baseball HBCU Showcase, bringing together more than 70 talented high school athletes for an opportunity to display their skills in front of college coaches—many representing Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

This two-day showcase will run Wednesday, August 13th, and Thursday, August 14th, starting each day at 8:00 AM at the Richard “Stick” Williams Dream Fields & Education Center. Players will participate in on-field instruction, live batting practice, offensive and defensive drills, and more. The second day will feature simulated games, giving athletes a chance to demonstrate their abilities in real-game situations.

In addition to on-field activities, participants will take part in the “Lunch & Learn” series, a special life skills program that includes panel discussions with coaches and other leaders offering guidance on both sports and life beyond the game.
