THE NHSI - AN EXPERIENCE UNLIKE ANY OTHER

Over the last decade, a bid to the National High School Invitational has become much more than an entry into a prep baseball tournament. A 16-team invitation-only event, there is nothing else like it in the high school realm. Sure, there are numerous high school tournaments hosted around the country, but none quite stack up to the value that the NHSI provides to its participants.

The NHSI has become an event that teams strive to put on their calendars. Not only does it give schools the status of being one of the best teams in high school baseball, but the experience on and off the field that the NHSI provides year in, and year out is unmatched.

What could be better than playing at a facility that has had big leaguers walk its grounds and on fields that are kept in immaculate condition? Not to mention playing against the best high school teams in the nation while gaining exposure to Major League Baseball scouts and college coaches? It’s this combination which creates an experience that keeps past participants desiring to come back year after year.

As the eleventh edition of the event approaches, there are two teams that will be returning for a seventh time: Huntington Beach High School (CA), which competed in the inaugural event in 2012, and Orange Lutheran High School (CA), which made its debut in 2015. The pair of Southern California schools have had much success since their NHSI debuts as they have won a combined five titles in the last six years the event has been held.

“I remember being told that USA Baseball had a vision of putting together the best high school tournament in the country to hopefully help establish a national champion,” recalled Orange Lutheran Head Coach and three-time USA Baseball national team coach Eric Borba. “There wasn’t anything like that at the time, and their goal was to bring the best 16 teams in the country to one spot. As a younger coach, trying to build our program and our brand, the opportunity to participate in that seemed

14 2024 NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL INVITATIONAL

very exclusive and something that could help take us to another level.”

Taking high school programs to new heights is exactly what the NHSI has done for its participants. What was a leap of faith at the time–taking a chance on a brand-new concept in prep baseball on the other side of the country–has opened the door to numerous opportunities for so many teams like Huntington Beach and Orange Lutheran.

From the national reputation that has been created for teams that participate in the event to the perspective players gain in just how many paths their careers could go on, the benefit of this event goes far beyond wins and losses on the field.

“This event really has enabled our kids to get exposure on the East Coast,” said Huntington Beach Head Coach Benji Medure. “From our 2016 championship team, we had multiple players end up going to schools like Harvard and North Carolina State. Before this event, there was no chance of that happening and our players would just get recruited by Southern California schools. Over time we’ve become more nationally known to where schools from all over the country are recruiting our players. It’s really opened up the eyes of our players to see that baseball is truly a national sport and it’s not just limited to Southern

California. Our players are going to places all across the country now, and I think that’s a good thing.”

This heightened exposure isn’t just for West Coast teams, though. Teams even from the eastern part of the country have seen a rise in the number of players who are being recruited on a national scope. Because the level of competition is elevated in Cary, colleges and professional scouts are truly able to evaluate the talent of each player that is participating.

“The exposure that you get from a college and professional scouting standpoint is great for our guys because of the competition they face at the NHSI,” said St. Johns Country Day (FL) Head Coach Tom Lucas. “If we play an inferior opponent in Florida, scouts really struggle with getting a sense of how guys perform, but in Cary it’s the best of the best. This event will attract so many scouts from across the nation; you’ll have national scouting directors from MLB organizations, and some teams will send four representatives from their bigleague club to come scout the event.

“On top of that, college coaches get to see them and don’t have to wonder how they’ll fare against college competition because they’re getting to see hitters face pitchers who could get drafted in the top three rounds of the MLB Draft and vice versa. So, if those coaches can

15 2024 NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL INVITATIONAL

see them succeed against guys like that, that’s the type of player they want to offer.”

As an event that schools strive to receive an invitation from, April 10th will be a special day for seven teams in this year’s field as it will mark their NHSI debuts. This week, those teams will get the opportunity to join an elite group and showcase why they are deserving of the reputation as one of the top high schools in the country.

Chaparral High School (AZ) will be one of those seven schools making their debuts. For the players and a majority of the coaching staff it will be their first time at the National Training Complex, but for head coach Troy Gerlach, this will be like a homecoming. A three-time national team coach, Gerlach is coming off leading USA Baseball’s 2023 12U National Team to a gold medal at the World Baseball Softball Classic (WBSC) U-12 Baseball World Cup last summer. He has also served as an assistant coach for the 2022 12U squad and for the 2018 15U National Team which both won gold at their respective World Cups and has been a part of several USA Baseball events from the developmental and identification side.

“Cary is kind of a second home to me,” said Gerlach. “Somebody asked me the other day how many days a summer I'm in Cary, and I got to thinking that the last four or five summers, I've been there for about three weeks each time, if not more. So, it's pretty awesome to be able to take the kids there and let them experience the complex and facilities. My son [Ty] is making the trip with us too, so to be able to share it with him and let him see where dad’s been the last four or five summers is pretty special.”

With Gerlach’s success on the USA Baseball front combined with accomplishing a feat that has been on his list of goals since taking the reins of Chaparral’s program in May of 2019, this week could go in his memory bank as one of the top moments in his coaching career.

this week, one thing certainly rings true for every team as they make their way to Cary, North Carolina, that each coach and player will look to soak in the full experience that the event offers to its participants.

“We’re telling our kids to enjoy the experience,” explained Lucas. “What USA Baseball does is first class. From the moment we get off the planes, these kids are going to feel like big leaguers; they're going to feel like they're a part of Team USA. It’s just so special and it’s

“This tournament is one of the most recognized in the country on the high school level, and it was one of my goals when our staff got the job at Chaparral to be able to bring our team to the NHSI. Having the history that I do with a first-class organization like USA Baseball and winning a couple of gold medals, just being able to have our players experience that same type of atmosphere and play against the best players in the country is going to be pretty awesome.”

This week provides an opportunity for teams to not only compete in a top-tier event, but to celebrate the hard work they have put in to earn an invitation to Cary. So, as the 2024 National High School Invitational commences

probably going to be one of the best baseball weeks of their lives just because of everything USA Baseball does. It's truly the best of the best getting together and doing what they enjoy doing that week.”

“It's such a first class run event. It's an unbelievable event for our kids that they'll cherish and remember for the rest of their lives,” said Borba. “They get treated almost like big leaguers would, so I think the overall experience that players and their families have by traveling to Cary and playing at the National Training Complex just brings you chills. When you walk in through that gate at the front to know all the great players from our past who have played and trained there, it’s just one of those special once in a lifetime type of opportunities.”

NHSI PAST CHAMPIONS

2012: MATER DEI

Mater Dei High School (Santa Ana, Calif.) earned the inaugural National High School Invitational (NHSI) presented by the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance championship in 2012 with a 3-2 walk-off victory over Harvard-Westlake School (Studio City, Calif.). Despite the Wolverines jumping out to an early 2-0 lead, Mater Dei rallied with two solo home runs in the fourth and seventh innings, respectively, to send the game to extra innings. After holding Harvard-Westlake scoreless in the top of the eighth, the Monarchs used a bases-loaded single in the bottom half to secure the first-ever NHSI title in dramatic fashion.

2013: MATER DEI

In a rematch of the 2012 National High School Invitational (NHSI) presented by the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance, Mater Dei High School (Santa Ana, Calif.) and HarvardWestlake School (Studio City, Calif.) once again went head-to-head with Mater Dei defending its title with a 4-0 victory. In the second edition of this matchup, the Monarchs got on the board first and never looked back. The team plated its first run in the top of the third before adding two more in the sixth and one in the seventh for the final 4-0 score to secure its second consecutive championship.

2014: THE FIRST ACADEMY

After Mater Dei High School (Santa Ana, Calif.) repeated as National High School Invitational (NHSI) presented by the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance champions in the first two editions of the event, The First Academy (Orlando, Fla.) became just the second team to claim the trophy with a 5-3 defeat of Clovis High School (Clovis, Calif.). After a slow start on offense for both squads, The First Academy broke onto the scoreboard first in the contest with back-to-back RBI doubles for a 2-0 advantage in the third. Clovis responded in the fourth to take a 3-2 lead before The First Academy was able to rally two innings later with three runs of its own to make it 5-3. The Royals held Clovis off in the seventh to secure its victory and claim the 2014 NHSI title.

2015: SAN CLEMENTE

San Clemente High School (San Clemente, Calif.) used a strong run in 2015 to claim the National High School Invitational (NHSI) presented by the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance championship. The squad outscored opponents 17-9 in its first three games of the event to secure its spot in the title game where it took on College Park (Pleasant Hill, Calif.) for the trophy. In the final, San Clemente opened the scoring in the second and plated runs in every inning that followed to remain in control throughout the contest. College Park broke through in the fourth and the fifth but couldn’t overcome the deficit as San Clemente cruised to an 8-3 victory and the title. The game marked the largest margin of victory in the history of the event’s championship game to that point.

2016: HUNTINGTON BEACH

After falling in the semifinals of the 2015 National High School Invitational (NHSI) presented by the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance to eventual champion San Clemente High School (San Clemente, Calif.), Huntington Beach High School (Huntington Beach, Calif.) came roaring back one year later to claim the 2016 title. The team outscored its opponents 30-15 en route to the championship, including defeating Chaminade Prep (Los Angeles, Calif.) 7-2 in the final. Chaminade broke onto the scoreboard first though, taking an early 1-0 lead in the first inning with an RBI single. But Huntington Beach wasted no time responding as the offense came alive in the bottom of the second for four runs before adding one in the fifth and two more in the sixth for a strong 7-1 advantage. Chaminade got one run back in the seventh but couldn’t get anything else as Huntington Beach finished off the 7-2 victory and secured its NHSI championship.

2017: ORANGE LUTHERAN

Orange Lutheran (Orange, Calif.) started its dominant run at the National High School Invitational (NHSI) presented by the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance with its first championship in 2017. After victories over Merritt Island High School (Merritt Island, Fla.), Trinity Christian Academy (Jacksonville, Fla.), and South Hills High School (West Covina, Calif.), the Lancers faced off against Dana Hills High School (Dana Point, Calif.) for the NHSI title. The two teams traded runs in the second and third innings for a 2-2 tie that would hold until the sixth inning when Orange Lutheran finally broke through with a sacrifice fly that made it 3-2 in its favor. Dana Hills tried to put together rally in the seventh with two hits that fell short as the Lancers got a double play to end the game and secure their first NHSI championship.

2018: ORANGE LUTHERAN

The 2018 edition of the National High School Invitational (NHSI) presented by the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance featured just the second repeat champion and a historic run to the final. After outscoring opponents 16-4 in its first three games of the event, Green Hope High School (Cary, N.C.) secured its spot in the 2018 NHSI championship game and became the first school from North Carolina to advance into the finals at the NHSI. The team’s opponent was Orange Lutheran (Orange, Calif.) which was looking to defend its 2017 NHSI title and become just the second team in event history to repeat as champions. Both offenses were quiet through the first three innings before the Lancers finally broke the game wide open with six runs throughout the fourth and fifth innings for a 6-0 lead. The Falcons responded in the bottom of the fifth to cut the deficit in half but it wouldn’t be enough as Orange Lutheran added three more insurance runs to claim a 9-3 victory and its second consecutive NHSI title.

2019: ORANGE LUTHERAN

In its seven-year history, the National High School Invitational (NHSI) presented by the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance had seen just two teams defend their titles in the event. But never had there been a threepeat – until 2019. Coming into the most recent edition of the tournament, Orange Lutheran (Orange, Calif.) had won nine straight NHSI games and hadn’t dropped a contest since 2014, and the Lancers picked right back up in 2019 where they had left off. They cruised into the

19 2024 NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL INVITATIONAL

championship game outscoring opponents 22-3 to take on Harvard-Westlake (Studio City, Calif.). But HarvardWestlake had also defeated its three opponents by wide margins to reach the final, outscoring them 16-1 with two shutouts, and the Wolverines were looking for redemption after falling in both the 2012 and 2013 NHSI championship games. The Lancers proved to be too strong though and they wasted no time in their title defense, plating a pair of runs in the first inning to open the scoring and never looking back. They would add three more runs before Harvard-Westlake got on the board with two runs of its own in the fifth to cut the deficit to three but a final insurance run for the Lancers in the sixth sealed the 6-2 victory and Orange Lutheran’s third NHSI title.

2022: STONEMAN DOUGLAS

At the 2022 National High School Invitational (NHSI) presented by the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance, Stoneman Douglas (Parkland, Fla.) became the first team outside of the state of California to win the title. The Eagles had a dominant showing in Cary, going undefeated with a 4-0 record and allowing its opponents to score just four runs to its 43 in the tournament. Stoneman Douglas opened play with a 15-0 victory over D.H. Conley (Greenville, N.C.), followed by an 11-1 defeat over Yucaipa (Yucaipa, Calif.) in the quarterfinals. In the semifinals, the Eagles were matched up with three-time defending champion Orange Lutheran (Orange, Calif.) and handed the Lancers their first loss in the event since 2014. The 11-0 five-inning run-rule result snapped a 15-game

win streak for Orange Lutheran at the event. Stoneman Douglas met St. Johns Country Day (Orange Park, Fla.) in the championship game, which proved to be tightly contested back-and-forth matchup. Despite the Eagles plating three runs in the first to take an early lead, the Spartans knotted the game at 3-3 in the top of the third inning. Stoneman Douglas retook its lead at 4-3 in the bottom of the third and plated an insurance run in the fifth en route to its first-ever NHSI title in program history.

2023: HUNTINGTON BEACH

In the 10th edition of the National High School Invitational (NHSI) presented by the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance, Huntington Beach (Huntington Beach, Calif.) put together a stellar performance en route to its second title and first since 2016. In its opening-round matchup against Basha (Chandler, Ariz.), a pair of runs in the fifth and sixth innings, along with a four-RBI day from Ralphy Velazquez, propelled the Oilers to a 6-3 victory and a spot in the quarterfinals. In the second round it was a total team effort as Huntington Beach’s offense tallied 10 hits and its pitching staff gave up just three runs in its 8-3 win over Calvary Christian (Clearwater, Fla.). Its semifinal game against Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) was a tightly contested matchup where the Oilers held off a late rally to win, 3-2, and advance to the championship game first the first time since 2016. In the finals, a seven-run ninth inning after a back-and-forth battle between the Oilers and JSerra Catholic (San Juan Capistrano, Calif.) allowed Huntington Beach to secure an 8-1 victory and take home its second title in program history.

NOTABLE NHSI ALUMNI

Playing in the National High School Invitational (NHSI) presented by the Greater Raleigh Sports Alliance has become almost a rite of passage for top high school prospects, as the prestigious event provides players with a stage to showcase their talents early in the high school season in front of countless scouts from the college and professional ranks.

As a result, the NHSI has a long track record of producing high-round MLB Draft picks, including more than 35 firstrounders since the event’s inception in 2012, as well as an extensive list of notable alumni that have already made their mark in the big leagues.

CODY BELLINGER

After an impressive showing at the 2013 NHSI with Hamilton High School (Chandler, Ariz.) Cody Bellinger was selected in the fourth round of the 2013 MLB Draft by the Los Angeles Dodgers and made his big league debut with the club in 2017. He crushed 39 home runs in his rookie campaign, combining what would become his signature power with 87 runs and 97 RBIs to earn 2017 National League Rookie of the Year honors and an All-Star Game

nod. Bellinger tallied 152 dingers, 434 runs, 652 hits, 134 doubles, and 422 RBIs en route to being named a twotime All-Star in 2017 and 2019, the 2019 NLCS MVP, both a 2019 Gold Glover and Silver Slugger, and winning a World Series championship with the Dodgers in 2020. He was traded to the Chicago Cubs ahead of the 2023 season and earned the National League Silver Slugger Award after slashing .307/525/.326 with 97 RBIs and 26 homers.

JOEY GALLO

Joey Gallo was regarded as the top prep slugger at the inaugural NHSI as a member of Bishop Gorman High School (Las Vegas, Nev.). He has since furthered that reputation in the majors after being selected in the fourth round of the 2012 MLB Draft by the Texas Rangers and making his big league debut in 2015. Gallo hit 41 home runs in 2017, another 40 in 2018, and was named an AllStar in 2019.

The Burbank, California, native made his MLB debut in 2017 with the St. Louis Cardinals and has since recorded a 3.75 ERA, allowing just 294 runs over 667.2 innings on the mound. In 2019, Flaherty started 33 games for the Cardinals and surrendered just 62 runs in 196.1 innings to finish the season with a career-low 2.75 ERA and a career-best 231 strikeouts and earn All-MLB Team honors.

MAX FRIED

by the San Diego Padres. He was traded to the Atlanta Braves in 2014 and made his MLB debut for the club in 2017 where he has been a mainstay in the rotation ever since. Fried collected a perfect 7-0 record and tallied a 2.25 ERA during the 2020 season before helping lead the Braves to a World Series championship in 2021 with a 3.04 ERA and just 61 runs allowed over 165.2 innings of work.

He made his MLB debut with the Pirates in 2018 and shortly after was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays where he tallied 308 hits, 65 home runs, 212 RBIs, and a .256 average in just over three seasons. He recorded a career-high 33 home runs, 154 hits, 83 runs, and seven triples while collecting 89 RBIs to earn All-Star honors in 2019 before being traded to the Detroit Tigers in 2022.

MATT OLSON

Matt Olson, a participant in the 2012 NHSI with Parkview High School (Lilburn, Ga.) and a first-round pick in the 2012 MLB Draft, has hit 176 home runs for the Oakland Athletics since making his debut in 2016. In 2021, he recorded a .271 average with career highs in runs (101), RBIs (111), home runs (39), doubles (35), and walks (88) to earn his first selection to the All-Star Game. He earned his second All-Star selection, along with a Silver Slugger Award, in 2023 after clubbing a career-best 54 homers and tallying 139 RBIs with the Atlanta Braves.

AUSTIN RILEY

Austin Riley was a two-way standout for Desoto Central High School (Southaven, Miss.) at the 2015 NHSI, showing power on the mound and tallying six hits at the plate. Following his performance in the tournament, Riley was taken in first round of the 2015 MLB Draft by the Atlanta Braves and played a big role in the team’s 2021 World Series championship. He hit .303 that season for the Braves with 33 home runs, 107 RBIs, 91 runs scored, and 52 walks en route to the Fall Classic title, as well as 2021 Silver Slugger honors and a spot on the All-MLB Team. He earned back-to-back All-Star honors in 2022 and 2023 and was a Silver Slugger recipient in 2023 after tallying a combined 347 hits, 75 home runs, and 190 RBIs in those two seasons.
