The 2026 NextGen SoCal Classic Looks to Regain Spring Steam in Irvine

☀️⚾ NextGen SoCal Classic | April 17–19 | Irvine, California

Prospect Wire returns to Irvine this spring for the NextGen SoCal Classic — a key opportunity for 13U and 14U teams to compete in one of the premier baseball environments on the West Coast.

Hosted at Great Park, one of the top youth baseball complexes in the country, this event provides a high-quality playing experience with additional local high school fields available as the event continues to grow.

This 3-game guarantee event has historically been a staple of the Southern California spring schedule, drawing 50+ teams and featuring strong competition from across the region.

“This event has always been an important part of our West Coast spring lineup,” said Brian Werner, President of Prospect Wire. “Great Park is an incredible facility, and Irvine is a destination that teams love traveling to. We’re excited to continue building this event back to where it’s been in the past.”

In addition to high-level competition, the NextGen SoCal Classic represents one of the final spring opportunities for players in the 2029 and 2030 grad classes to be identified for selection to the Prospect Wire All American Weekend later this summer.

With great weather, top facilities, and a strong competitive field, the NextGen SoCal Classic is the perfect way to close out the spring season in Southern California.
