September in South Beach is the site of the nation’s top amateur baseball game again.

After a successful 2024 edition, the Prep Baseball All-American Game is set to return to Miami in 2025. The third annual event is headed back to loanDepot Park, home of the Miami Marlins, with the country’s top high school juniors and seniors facing off in the premier scouting showcases across amateur baseball. The game itself will take place on Saturday, Sept. 20, while the workout will be held the day prior, on Sept. 19.

“We couldn’t be happier to have the Prep Baseball All-American Game back at loanDepot Park,” said Frankie Piliere, the amateur scouting director of the Miami Marlins. “The collection of talent they put on the field for the 2024 event was first-class, and we are excited to see what this next class has in store for us.”

The choice to return to Miami for the All-American Game highlights its rising status as the premier event in amateur baseball and builds on the success of the 2024 event.

“Our goal is to create the ultimate big-league experience for these high-level players, so I’m thrilled to be back in Miami because the loanDepot staff have gone out of their way to roll out the red carpet for the players,” said Sean Duncan, President of Prep Baseball. “I love the differentiated aspect of our All-American Game, pitting the top junior draft prospects against the best current draft prospects. I think it stokes the competitive spirits of the players, and ultimately, scouts and fans can watch the best high school players in the country get after it in a more meaningful way.

“This is a one-of-a-kind marquee event, not only for the players involved, but for the scouting community, fans and hobbyists, who get to see the next wave of future stars on display.”

A key factor in elevating the All-American Game has been Mizuno, which returns as a signature partner for the 2025 event. Mizuno has outfitted players with custom uniforms, gloves, and additional gear, ensuring that every participant receives a locker full of world-class materials.

“The gear Mizuno provides is second to none – not just in the sheer volume they supplied to the players in attendance, but in quality,” Duncan said. “They’ve been a crucial part of this event’s success since day one, and we’re thrilled to see how they continue to elevate the All-American Game in 2025.”

Friday’s workout day for the players will also be held at loanDepot Park, where players will compete in a home run derby and other baseball activities.

Continuing the momentum from the previous editions, this year’s All-American Game will once again showcase the top talent in the country. Featuring elite seniors (Class of 2026) and juniors (Class of 2027), the game promises to highlight the best of the best. Both classes will face off in what is sure to be an exciting and competitive matchup.

A new champion is guaranteed this year as the Class of 2025, which took home the win in both the inaugural game and last year’s contest in Miami, will be off to college by then. With that, the stage is set for a fresh challenge, as these rising stars look to make their mark in this unique and highly anticipated showcase.

“The All-American Game is a proving ground for the best high school players in the country,” said Shooter Hunt, Vice President of Scouting at Prep Baseball. “Each year, we see future first-rounders, eventual college stars, and ascending underclassmen battle head to head in one of the most competitive environments you’ll find at the amateur level. After just the first two years, this event has hosted a staggering number of impact ballplayers who are already making their mark in either pro ball or are about to, following July’s MLB Draft.”

Alumni Who Have Made Their Mark

In just two years, the Prep Baseball All-American Game has featured an incredible list of future draft picks and top-ranked prospects. The inaugural 2023 All-American Game in Milwaukee saw eight players eventually selected in the 2024 MLB Draft, including:

The 2024 Prep Baseball All-American Game featured many of the nation’s highest-ranked players in the 2025 class, with names like SS Ethan Holliday (Prep Baseball Draft HQ, No. 1 overall prospect), RHP Seth Hernandez (No. 4), SS Brady Ebel (No. 7), SS Kayson Cunningham (No. 8), 3B Xavier Neyens (No. 9), SS Billy Carlson (No. 16), C Brayden Jaksa (No. 17), and RHP/INF Josh Hammond (No. 18), among the top future draft prospects who showcased their talents at loanDepot Park, and many of these players were also on the Class of 2025 roster for the inaugural event as well. In total, 22 players on the Prep Baseball Draft HQ, Top-100 board participated at the All-American Game in Milwaukee, Miami, or both.

Vs. Cancer Returns as the Event’s Charity Partner

The All-American Game will once again partner with Vs. Cancer, a program of the Pediatric Brain Tumor Foundation, to help raise funds for the fight against childhood brain cancer. The unique player-driven fundraising initiative allows athletes to compete both on the field and in their communities, generating donations for families in need and vital medical research.

In two years, fundraising as part of the lead-up to All-American Game weekend has collected $50,000 of donations, and we're eager to substantially add to that total in 2025.

A Premier Baseball Event Finds Its Home

After just two years, the Prep Baseball All-American Game has firmly established itself as one of the most prestigious and competitive showcases in the country. Returning to loanDepot Park in 2025 reinforces its position as a premier platform for the game’s next generation of stars.

With the Prep Baseball scouting team already closely evaluating the classes of 2026 and 2027, our staff is already on the road back to Miami.
