Ripken Baseball has announced it will take Ripken Select Tournaments to Florida and Texas in 2023, continuing the organization’s expansion from one tournament just a few years ago to three events next summer with each being a full week’s worth of games and activations.

The first event will be June 4–9 at Publix Sports Park in Panama City Beach, Florida. It will then visit Old Settlers Park in Round Rock, Texas, from July 9–14 and finish at Gardens Park in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, from July 23–28. The event in Palm Beach Gardens will be Ripken Baseball’s first visit to the facility. Publix Sports Park has previously hosted Ripken Baseball while Old Settlers Park has been part of the Select tour since 2021.
