2019 CELEBRATING OUR 39th YEAR!

Hillsborough County - The 39th annual Hillsborough County Schools' Tony Saladino High School Baseball Tournament will be held at Brandon High School (headquarters), Jefferson High School, University of Tampa, and Lennard High School.

28 public high school teams from Hillsborough County will participate in the week-long, round-robin tournament. The tournament will again provide fans and spectators of all ages an opportunity to participate in and enjoy a variety of baseball-related activities in a patriotic, nostalgic, family-oriented, educational and safe atmosphere.

In as much as the Tampa Bay area is a well-known hotbed of many professional and college baseball prospects, this tournament will showcase approximately 800 of our local high school players during the week, with baseball scouts representing Major League teams and many college coaches from throughout the country in attendance.More importantly, the tournament helps keep our county high school players close to home, busy and out of mischief during their Spring Break. Many activities and memorabilia displays will supplement the educational, recreational and baseball opportunities for players, coaches, fans and spectators - from the young to senior citizens.
