WASHINGTON STATE ALL-STATE BASEBALL SERIESAGENDA

WASHINGTON STATE ALL-STATE BASEBALL SERIES AGENDA
JUNE 13-14, 2015
Directors:
Here are your All-State selection forms for the 2015 games. You may duplicate and use as feeder forms (the forms
found in this packet) since you will need the information for your district games.
1.
Each feeder district will be assessed a $250.00 registration fee for the All-State Series. This fee must be in our
hands by Wednesday, June 10. Last year two feeder games didn’t provide us with their fees. We will stop
taking players from specific games if this continues. Please mail to George Benedetti at 2209 South 88th
Avenue, Yakima, WA 98903.
2.
Each player in the feeder game should be sponsored for that game at the rate of $15.00 to $35.00. This is to
help you meet your expenses.
3.
In order to be consistent the stats that should be used in helping to select players for both the feeder games and
the All-State Series should be from the 20 regular season games. Please note if post season stats are included.
4.
Each feeder game director will supply ten (10) names ranked in order with #1 being the best. Please email
Jesse as soon as you can or fax this info to (509) 573-7440 before 3:00 p.m. You will be given a different fax
number so it will go to the meeting room if it is after 3:00….please make it your best effort to not wait this late
though. All faxes need to be sent before 5 p.m. Sunday, June 8. If a fax is not possible please call one of the
following:
Primary Contact: Jesse Benedetti, (509) 969-6538

PLEASE HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION ASKED FOR ON THE FORMS
5.
All feeder games must be played no later than Sunday, June 7th.

Note: The selection committee also receives and considers input form college coaches, professional scouts, and
others connected with high school baseball.
PLEASE DO NOT NOMINATE A PLAYER THAT CANNOT MAKE THE STATE SERIES.
8.
The selection committee will meet Sunday, June 7 and notify each feeder game director of his selections
sometime that night. PLEASE LET ME KNOW THE PHONE NUMBER WHERE YOU CAN BE
CONTACTED THAT NIGHT.
9.
Each feeder game director will notify their players that have been selected and give them the necessary
information. Please notify the athlete within 24 hours and have them contact Jesse to confirm. If we haven’t
heard from the athlete by Tuesday, we will begin to look for a replacement.
10.
NEW TO 2014: ADIDAS SPONSORSHIP: They will provide jerseys for the players to keep. Athletes just
need to wear the remainder of their school uniforms (hat, stirrups, pants, etc.) Please, no summer team
uniforms as this is a high school event.
11.
PLEASE RUN OFF COPIES OF PAGES 4-9 FOR EACH OF THE TOP 10.
12.
We have a Washington All-State Website with information about your feeder game and the All-State Game.
The address is: http://www.allstatebaseball.com/washington.htm If you want to have any information
placed on the website call Jesse Benedetti at (509) 969-6538 or email him at
[email protected].
13.
Please try and use the attached nomination form for nomination to the local feeder games for consistency.
