LINCOLN, CALIF. - The Rising Stars ID tour was completed last Sunday in Northern California at McBean Stadium. The event hosted players in the 2027 and 2028, some who no doubt attended with the intent 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 serves as a springboard for players looking to be a part of the best event in the country for uncommitted players, and the Bay Area event certainly did not disappoint with as many players having strong performances in what was the first showcase setting for many of them.
Players were put through the traditional showcase workout that included the 60-yard dash, Bullpens, BP, and a defensive workout using Trackman, Swift Technologies, and more to measure every movement.
We have highlighted some early standouts in Quick Hits, TrackMan Pitching, TrackMan Hitting, & and in this post we’ll break down the defense throwing stats and running speed (60 time) from the Rising Stars ID: Sacramento.
