Top Tier founder and CEO, Todd Fine has been named to the USA Baseball Task Force for the 2010 USA Baseball Tournament of Stars. Since the inception of Top Tier in 2004 Fine has worked tirelessly to aid in the development of over 100 Division I signees and 30 professional draft picks. Fine has also coached the Under Armour All American Game the past two years.
The Tournament of Stars is made up of 128 of the nation's top prospects. Official invites for the tournament will be sent from the USA Baseball office in late April. These players form the pool of talent from which USA Baseball will select its 18U National Team to represent our country in international competition.
The 18U National Team program has a storied history with alumni including Paul Konerko, Mike Mussina, Alex Rodriguez, and John Smoltz, and recent No. 1 overall picks in the Major League Draft -- Joe Mauer (2001), Delmon Young (2003), Matt Bush (2004), Justin Upton (2005), and Luke Hochevar (2006).
