The stage is set for one of the premier events of the summer as the Midwest Premier Super 16 - Member & Open returns to Prep Baseball Kansas City. This invitation-only tournament brings together 130 of the top programs from 13 different states across the Midwest and beyond, including Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Colorado, Texas, and more.

Designed for elite competition and unmatched exposure, the Super 16 mirrors the highly regarded Amateur Baseball Championships at Grand Park (IN)—a national draw for college coaches looking to scout top-tier talent from a single age group all in one location. With a five-game guarantee and only top-level organizations in the field, this event offers a high-stakes, high-reward environment for players and programs alike.

Games will be played across two top-tier, fully lit complexes—Creekside Baseball Park and Homefield Baseball Complex, located just 15 minutes apart and offering a combined 14 turf fields.

• Creekside Baseball Park features six turf-infield fields, onsite batting cages, turf bullpens with plyo walls, full concessions, covered dugouts and bleachers, and a Holiday Inn Express right next to the facility. It’s also conveniently located just 15 minutes from Kansas City International Airport.
• Homefield Baseball Complex, located near the Legends shopping center, boasts eight brand-new fully turfed diamonds, cages on every field, turf bullpens and mounds, two concession stands, and covered dugouts with seating. Just 25 minutes from the airport, Homefield also features TrackMan technology on all fields—providing advanced data and analytics for players, coaches, and scouts.

With top-tier talent, cutting-edge technology, and college recruiting opportunities all in one place, the Super 16 Championship is a must-see event this summer in Kansas City.
