About Funkie Phil’s Future Stars Showcase
Introducing the Inaugural Funkie Phil’s Future Stars Showcase! An all-ages event showcasing the Future of Australian baseball with current Professional and College talent putting on a show!
Will be a night of fun and entertainment with a Homerun Derby from Australia’s next big hitters followed by a Pitching showcase where you can get up and close to feel what big leaguers experience with 90+ MPH fastballs.
All HR balls will be souvenirs for our young fans with chances for Autographs after the Derby.
Why?
Funkie Phil has been part of the baseball scene in Sydney for years, entertaining crowds at Sydney Bluesox games and most recently supporting the Down Under Winter Classic in the Gold Coast. During his time in the baseball community Phil has been a mentor and fan to many up-and-coming players you now see in the college and professional systems.
The thought of how we can give back and entertain at the same time was quickly answered by the Showcase format. Showing off our young talent, putting on a night of Music, Jumping Castles, Lights, Food and Baseball while supporting our junior grassroots clubs.
This night will not only show off our current talent but hopefully be a representation of what the younger attendees can achieve in their future.
