Perfect Game WWBA National Invitational Heads to Mesa

Perfect Game’s World Wood Bat Association National Baseball Invitational will take place in Mesa, Arizona, from September 19—21 in partnership with Visit Mesa.

Eight programs will square off at two Cactus League venues: Riverview Park, spring training home of the Chicago Cubs, and Hohokam Stadium, spring training home of the A’s. The Invitational serves as a precursor to Perfect Game’s WWBA National Championship, held each October in Jupiter, Florida.

“Mesa is honored to partner with Perfect Game to host the WWBA National Invitational and looks forward to welcoming so many athletes, coaches, families, fans and scouts to experience our MLB Spring Training facilities,” said Lance Fite, vice president of sports for Visit Mesa. “World class organizations like Perfect Game, representing the nation’s top talent in youth baseball, deserve world class facilities to truly set a memorable stage”

The WWBA National Baseball Invitational will feature three days of top-tier competition, providing athletes with valuable exposure to college coaches and professional scouts while giving fans a preview of the talent that will be on display in Jupiter.

“We’re proud to bring the WWBA National Baseball Invitational to Mesa, a community that embraces the game of baseball at every level,” said John Casale, regional director of baseball on the West Coast for Perfect Game. “This event will not only provide elite athletes with a worldclass competitive platform, but it will also showcase Mesa as a great destination for youth sports.”
