"He knows talent," Avila (Detroit Tiger's Assistant General Manager) said of Belmonte (Indy Pro Showcase Co-Founder). "I can trust him. If he calls me up and says, 'This is a guy you need to look at,' then I'll look into it." Avila acted quickly. By the end of that day, LaLuna was a Tiger.

The Indy Pro Showcase is a limited space talent showcase that ensures the best possible opportunity to evaluate a player’s talents while playing in multiple inning games. This is NOT a 'cattle call' with hundreds of players in attendance. This is NOT a referral service. Contracts will be offered during the Showcase. There will be representatives from at least 6 different leagues, as well as, MLB scouts in attendance.
The Indy Pro Showcase was created by Nick Belmonte and Dave Marcon to help the players that were not drafted or were not seen by professional scouts to fulfill their dream of playing professional baseball. To date, Nick and Dave have helped (signed) over1000 players fulfill their dreams. The goal is to find that player that was overlooked and get him playing immediately.
The Indy Pros Showcase is not 'just' for college players. Nick Belmonte and Dave Marcon have been instrumental in helping players with professional experience find new jobs and get a second chance at pursuing their dreams.
The bottom line is that in the last 3 years alone, Nick Belmonte and Dave Marcon have offered contracts to 40% of the players attending the Indy Pro Showcases. Many of the players not offered contracts at the Showcases were offered contracts afterwards. With Dave Marcon's experience, he has been amazing at helping young pitchers get signed with Independent League teams.
