The POWER SHOWCASE All-World/All-American Baseball Classic seeks to celebrate one of the finest moments in sports, the Home Run, while providing a platform for the top high school power hitting prospects from 27 countries around the world to demonstrate their overall skill-set in a major league stadium in front of baseball’s top evaluators. Created in 2004 by Brian Domenico, the POWER SHOWCASE International High School Home Run Derby has evolved into one of the most exciting, can’t-miss events of the year. POWER SHOWCASE participants must achieve and maintain a high-level academic status, while possessing the redeeming leadership qualities and determination that exemplify respect in keeping with the game of baseball. All POWER SHOWCASE participants are hand-picked by Domenico and are invited to compete on the international stage. In 2003, Brian Domenico, head baseball coach at Olympic Heights Community High School in Boca Raton, Florida, and his team were holding a car wash to raise money for the Olympic Heights Lions baseball program. After four hours, the team had only washed seven cars. Domenico knew it was not a lack of effort that prevented his team from raising significant funds, but rather the absence of an appealing and novel fundraising event. As a result, he endeavored to find a more interesting and entertaining method for funding the Lions program. Since the money raised would be used for baseball, he thought incorporating the sport into the fundraiser would be an excellent way to engender interest. Domenico had heard of a local county in Florida that held a countywide home run derby for high school baseball players. This piqued Domenico’s interest, and while he thought a home run derby would be a fun and successful way to generate money for his high school program, he had grander ideas than simply a local competition. For the next several months, Domenico made hundreds of phone calls to high school coaches throughout South Florida inquiring about potential participants, and on January 17 and 21, 2004, the first South Florida POWER SHOWCASE High School Home Run Derby was held at Olympic Heights. From its modest beginning as a regional competition in South Florida, the POWER SHOWCASE has grown into a must-see event in which the top power-hitting prospects from the United States and abroad including representatives from Aruba, Australia, Bahamas, Canada, Curacao, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Jamaica, Lithuania, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Puerto Rico, St. Maarten, Venezuela, and the Virgin Islands, compete to see who will be crowned the next POWER SHOWCASE World Champion.
