April 14, 2020
The next wave of the top uncommitted 2022 and 2023 grads from across our state will get an opportunity to be identified for Team Alabama for the 2020 PBR Future Games at LakePoint July 29- August 1. The Junior Future Games will also be held simultaneously as the top 2024 and 2025 graduates from Alabama will make up two teams to represent our state. Get to an event this summer to be evaluated. Today and tomorrow we take a look back at two of the members of our inaugural team from 2019 in Trent Hodgdon (2021, RHP, Smiths Station) and Alex Wade (2022, OF, Madison Academy). Today we sit down with Trent Hodgdon on his experience at last year's Future Games, which culminated in a commitment to West Virginia University soon after the event.

Scouting Report
Very clean mechanics and arm action on this ‘21 RHP that continues a strong summer circuit. Really competes on the mound and shows the ability to locate down in the zone. The FB was 84-88 mph and sat at 88 mph consistently in his 1st inning of work. The fastball showed nice spin rate from the high 2200’s to the mid 2300’s. He can locate the slider type breaking ball for a strike early in the count and also has feel to throw it as a swing and miss pitch with 2 strikes. The spin rate on the breaking ball was high 1800’s- mid 1900’s.
