Jordon Banfield
Arizona Scouting Director

The Invite-Only 2019 Top Prospect Games took place on Wednesday, June 27th at the Kansas City Royals Complex in Surprise. The event featured many of the state's top rising seniors and gave players an opportunity to to be evaluated by a number of colleges coaches and pro scouts in attendance as well as earn consideration for our premier pro scouting event, Super 60 this winter. Today, we continue the event coverage with our Statistical Analysis At an event of this caliber we cannot possibly include everyone who performed well and also posted a number of brief notes and videos throughout the day on Twitter. Coverage of the event will continue in the coming weeks with all our our positional breakdowns and every player getting a complete individualized scouting report in their profile.

Complete video, data and pictures are already posted to players' individual profiles. As always contact [email protected] or direct message @PBRArizona on Twitter with any questions and/or information.
