TEAM MIDWEST
(IOWA, MINNESOTA, NEBRASKA, NORTH DAKOTA, SOUTH DAKOTA)
This one-of-a-kind event will feature the best uncommitted Class of 2025 prospects and select 2026 prospects from our 40-plus state coverage area and Canada. The Future Games will take place from Wednesday, July 26 through Saturday, July 29 at LakePoint in Emerson, Ga.
LakePoint’s elite baseball facilities include eight Major League-sized fields, which are surfaced entirely with synthetic turf provided by Shaw Sports Turf. This high-tech playing surface has been designed to accurately mimic the bounce of the ball off of real dirt and grass, and will allow fields to be playable immediately after rain.
The Prep Baseball Report Future Games is the premier summer scouting event for Class of 2025 prospects and select 2026 prospects. In years past, more than 330 college coaches from all over the country were in attendance.
Players will also receive maximum visibility from college coaches all over the country, in addition to being promoted through the Prep Baseball Report multimedia platforms.
Each state's team will play three games. On Wednesday, the first day of the event, all position players will be put through a showcase workout in which they will run 60s, take batting practice and be evaluated defensively at their primary position.
Players participating in the PBR Future Games will receive the PBR Tech Package which includes TrackMan hitting and pitching metrics, Blast Motion swing metrics, PitchAI biomechanical pitching data, Vizual Edge vision testing analysis, as well as athletic measurements collected by our new partners at Swift Performance.
PBR and Mizuno are partnered to provide players quality products at our youth and high school-aged events across the country – and the Future Games will be no different. Players will be given Mizuno baseball gear to wear during the four-day event.
PBR state directors across the country used Preseason ID & Preseason All-State showcases over the winter to begin developing a list of players to consider inviting to participate at the 2023 Future Games. Each state will be using the spring's high school season and the early summer's events like the Top Prospect Games to further fill out the roster that will represent his state at LakePoint in late July. Rosters will update on this page as the season rolls on and we get closer to the 2023 Future Games.
