We want to share some exciting news! Starting August 1, 2025, Tacoma Select will merge with Marucci  Baseball and become Marucci Prospects. This does not have any affect on current teams this season. This will not affect ownership or management structure.

From the conception of Tacoma Select, our mission has been to build a baseball program that prepares players for High School and College ball. Partnering with Marucci continues that mission but accelerates the development of some crucial aspects that would have taken us years to create and implement. This merger gives us access to a program and network that consistently churns out countless players of all collegiate levels (D1 to JUCO) and high-level high school athletes.

Coach Gabe and his trainers will receive additional support and training from Marucci. This will vary from access to training plans, in-person training sessions with Marucci staff, and access to a network of high-level coaches and trainers nationwide.

For those players aspiring to play college ball, we will have access to some of the largest scouting events in the country. This year, we will be sending a class of 2028 Marucci Prospects Scout Team to the Marucci World Series. In 2026 we have invites to send more teams 14U to 17U. For individual players interested, you will have the ability to showcase your talent in Marucci-hosted scouting events hosted at various Marucci facility throughout the country.

The program for our younger players will also have some changes. The core philosophy of development first will remain the same. However,  for those players seeking additional competition, we will be adding a Marucci Prospects National Teams (various age groups) that will showcase their talents at PG’s and tournaments outside of Washington. In addition to our training, all players will have the option to participate in an extensive year-round remote training program with Marucci.

Those who have been with us from the start know how much we have put into building this program and brand. While not an easy decision, it is the correct move to enhance our program for our current and future athletes. By merging with Marucci, we are giving players the resources to go as far as they can in their baseball journey.

I want to thank everyone for their support with this upcoming transition. I know there will be lots of questions and I will answer those in time.
