CORONA, CALIF. - After the constant weather that has hit southern California in the last month pushed off an event, the Rising Stars ID tour kicked off in earnest at Eastlake High School. The event drew over 40 players from the 2027 and 2028 classes who came to show they’re deserving to be considered to represent Team California at the Prep Baseball Report Jr. Future Games in LakePoint, GA.
This July, PBR California will be taking a team to the Jr. Future Games for the first time. This unique event is run in conjunction with, and at the same facility as, the Future Games which last year hosted over 360 college coaches. Adding to the spectacle is the uniqueness of the event being open to uncommitted players only.
The Rising Stars ID series will serve as the springboard for players looking to be a part of the best event in the country for uncommitted players, and this first event certainly did not disappoint with as many as 20 players having really solid performances in what was the first showcase setting for many of them.
Players were put through the traditional pro-style workout that included the 60-yard dash, BP, and a defensive workout using Trackman, Swift Technologies, and more to measure every movement.
We earlier took a look at the First Ten which highlighted some early standouts, but in this post we’ll break down the Swift Technologies running leaders from the Rising Stars ID: Inland Empire.
Be sure to follow PBR California on Twitter and Instagram for videos/notes throughout the weeks of the high school season.
