Five Tool Prospects, a new online baseball community, is now the Official Prospect Database of the The Frontier League and International Performance Baseball (IPB). The website is designed to help high school kids get a look from college coaches and college players get a look from professional teams. Check out the site at http://www.fivetoolprospects.com/.
The partnership with the Frontier League will allow any player who attends a Frontier League Tryout with the ability to purchase a professional evaluation for $50. After the player is evaluated by the coaching staff, the results are posted on the Five Tool Prospects website and the player is automatically ranked in each category in the "Top Prospects" section. The website will have advanced search features that will allow college coaches or pro scouts the ability to search for players based on very specific statistics or ratings. The site will also be adding YouTube integration in the future for players to post videos of themselves, too.
International Performance Baseball runs several events that give professional free agents a shot to get evaluated and placed in professional baseball (I got my first shot at pro ball after attending IPB's World Free Agent Spring Training in 2004). Every player who attends one of their events will get an evaluation included in the price of the event fee, and have that evaluation posted on the Five Tool Prospects website.
