Evansville Rising Stars ID
NOTE: Players must use BBCOR bats during batting practice. Pitching bullpens will be at 60'-6"
The Rising Stars ID is an event featuring class of 2029-2030 prospects. This event has a dual function. For most participants, this will be their first showcase event - an initial step toward achieving a player’s baseball goals. Part of this event is educational: there will be a lecture about what scouts look for, how to comport themselves, what to expect in the recruiting process, and the overall landscape of playing at the next level. The second function of the event is to identify young talent, and at the same time getting valuable coaching in the showcase process. As the preeminent scouting service across our 40+ state coverage area, Prep Baseball is looking to identify promising young prospects at an earlier age so we can more accurately track their progress through their career.
This event will also serve as an identifier for invitations to next summer's Indiana Rising Stars Games and Junior Future Games. The Indiana Rising Stars Games is the culmination of our Rising Stars ID Series and will include personally invited players that stood out at Rising Stars ID events throughout the year. As the preeminent scouting service across our 40+ state coverage area, Prep Baseball is looking to identify promising young prospects at an earlier age so we can more accurately track their progress through their career.
The Junior Future Games will run in conjunction with the Prep Baseball's Future Games. The Future Games features the top uncommitted 2027 prospects from across the Prep Baseball coverage area. It is one of the most highly recruited events of the summer and attracts more than 200 college coaches from across the country each year.
The Junior Future Games, an Invitation-Only event, will feature the best-identified 2029 prospects from across the nation in a four-day tournament at LakePoint in Emerson, GA. Participants will compete against other top-level players while representing their respective state.
Along with the Prep Baseball Profile complete with picture, verified statistics, Trackman data and video hosted on the Prep Baseball Site each participant will also receive a Prep Baseball shirt and hat.

SCOUTING, TECHNOLOGY AND DATA ANALYSIS IN ONE EVENT
PBR PROFILE
Every prospect's recruiting process starts and ends with the PBR Profile and our showcases revolve around that player profile. For first time attendees, a new PBR profile will be created, hosting all of your information, videos, head shot, metrics and more, making it one of your single most important tools in the recruiting process. Repeat showcase performances will continue to update your PBR profile, creating a history of prospect progress and ensuring the most up-to-date information is easily accessible throughout the fast-paced scouting community. These profiles are also searchable by a range of data points and metrics through our advanced search engine, making it a one stop shop for recruiters and scouts.
PBR SHIRT
All showcase prospects will receive a PBR showcase jersey.
STATS
PBR stats are the industry standard in the scouting community, carrying the highest credibility in actionable data. PBR profiles are the most reliable resources for prospect information due to this reason alone. Stats are collected using only the highest of standard equipment including Swift laser timers, Trackman and Stalker radars. All stats are hosted in player profiles accompanied by recently launched Performance Tiers that show where a prospect ranks among his peers.
VIDEO
All prospect performances will be professionally video taped, edited and uploaded into their PBR Profile. Videos will consist of multiple angles and record all aspects of the showcase including 60’s, live batting practice, and defensive performances. Videos are hosted in PBR Profiles and used for video spotlights, content, social media and more. Videos are accessible to all PBR+ subscribers.
SCOUTING REPORTS
The Prep Baseball Report is built at the hands of some of the most tenured and respected scouts in the industry. We pride ourselves on our level of prospect knowledge, most of which is gained through PBR events. Showcases are designed and engineered by state Scouting Directors with the goal of collecting as much information about a prospect as possible and relaying our findings to the public through data collection and scouting reports.

In an effort to elevate the post-event experience for players who attend a PBR Showcase, the Account Dashboard is now your one stop shop to view all of your post-event deliverables, including your Video, TrackMan, Report, and more.
