All-American Classic 2025


Posted in 2025 in


The 23rd annual All-American Classic will return to Petco Park in San Diego on Sunday, August 17, 2025.



This premier event showcases the nation’s top high school baseball players entering their senior year, competing in an East vs. West matchup on a Major League Baseball field.

Since its inception in 2003, the All-American Classic has been a launching pad for future MLB stars. Notably, 10 participants have been selected as the first overall pick in the MLB Draft, five have won the MLB MVP award, 11 have earned Rookie of the Year honors, and 293 have been first-round draft picks. Impressively, one out of every three All-Americans has been selected in the first round of the draft.

Petco Park Venue

The 2025 All-American Classic marks the event’s long-awaited return to Petco Park, its premier home for 14 past editions. San Diego first hosted the game in 2006 and 2007 at Tony Gwynn Stadium on the campus of San Diego State University. A packed crowd of over 2,600 fans witnessed the West team edge out a 9-8 victory. After one year in LA, the Classic returned to San Diego in 2009 and found a home at Petco Park, where it became a staple event for our city’s passionate baseball community. The ballpark has since hosted the game 14 times, including a one-time return in 2021 before the event briefly relocated.

Tickets

Details regarding ticket sales for the All-American Classic will be announced at a later date.

Proceeds from the event have benefitted Rady Children’s Hospital and support pediatric cancer treatment and research. To date, more than $1.3 million has been raised for local causes, with over $850,000 specifically benefiting Rady Children’s Hospital.

San Diego baseball enthusiasts should mark their calendars for this exciting showcase of emerging talent. More info:
