ABOUT NEXT PITCH USA
Built by players for players, creating elite youth baseball tournaments and showcases that help athletes compete, develop, and get noticed.
OUR STORY
Next Pitch USA was founded by lifelong neighbors and ballplayers Connor Nowak and Jack Bleimehl from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin, with one clear mission: to provide elite youth baseball tournaments and showcases that help players compete, develop, and get noticed.
Built by players for players, Next Pitch USA offers more than just tournaments — we create comprehensive baseball events including showcases, player interviews, and profiles designed to highlight talent and give athletes the exposure they deserve.
Together, they envisioned Next Pitch USA as a platform to deliver high-quality, player-first events that combine competitive play with professional exposure — helping every athlete take the next step in their baseball journey.
