BALTIMORE, March 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Under Armour, the Baltimore Orioles, and Baseball Factory announced today that the 2025 UA Next All-America Game will take place at Oriole Park at Camden Yards in Baltimore on Saturday, Sept. 13, showcasing the nation's top 40 high school baseball players. The UA Next All-America Game has a history of featuring some of the most talented players in baseball, including MLB stars and UA athletes Gunnar Henderson and Bobby Witt Jr.

"At Ripken Baseball, we always strive to provide the ball players at our facilities with the big league experience – playing at Camden Yards is as big league as it gets," said Cal Ripken, Jr., co-founder of Ripken Baseball and part-owner of the Orioles. "I am excited for these extraordinary athletes to play in the park where our Orioles play and Orioles fans will have the chance to watch the next generation compete. I appreciate that the Orioles and Under Armour have come together for this special event and look forward to it."

The path to the UA Next All-America Game starts through the UA Next Prospect Tour Powered by Baseball Factory. Launched in 2025, the tour offers middle and high school players an elite competitive platform and comprehensive scouting experience. In future years, top high school performers from the tour will be considered for the UA Next All-America Game.

The weekend will kick off on Friday, Sept. 12, with a Workout Day presented by Rawlings Sporting Goods. This exclusive event offers players, coaching staff, families, VIPs, and MLB scouts an up-close look at the next generation of baseball talent. Athletes will undergo skills assessments, batting practice, and defensive drills, setting the tone for Saturday's marquee event.

"Under Armour is committed to growing the next generation of athletes through our UA Next program. The highest level of competition can only be earned, and with opportunities to elevate their game, we help athletes who are striving for more unlock the best version of themselves on their journey to compete," said Sean Eggert, SVP, Global Sports Marketing at Under Armour. "We're thrilled to support these athletes on such a meaningful stage. Baltimore is the heart of Under Armour, and Camden Yards is the perfect place to celebrate the best young baseball players in the country."

This year marks the 20th All-America Game hosted by Baseball Factory. Other MLB stadiums to host the event have included Wrigley Field, Kauffman Stadium, and Globe Life Field. The game has produced over 150 first-round MLB Draft picks, including the top five selections of the 2022 MLB Draft.

"This event has become the gold standard for high school baseball," said Steve Bernhardt, VP of Baseball Operations at Baseball Factory. "For nearly two decades, we've seen talented players rise to the occasion, and we know this year's class will continue that tradition."

Players will be treated like big-leaguers, with top-tier accommodations and recognition throughout the event. Event sponsors will play a role in elevating the spectator experience, offering interactive activities and engaging entertainment. Highlights include the Zebra Pen Signage Creation Station, where fans can personalize their experience, and a free Community Clinic designed to provide valuable skills to kids in the Baltimore area.
