The Pacifics suggest that prospective players have professional or college playing experience. Major League Baseball scouts will be in attendance.

This is the third location porposed for the tryouts. , but a scheduling conflict caused the tryouts to be moved to Benedetti Field at University of San Francisco. An ongoing construction project made Benedetti Field unavailable.
