This week, Prep Baseball Report is hosting its premier summer underclass, which for the first time taking place at LakePoint in Georgia. The Future Games features over 400 of the top uncommitted 2021 and 2022 players from across the country in one place and is one of the most heavily scouted events of the year, with all 30 MLB clubs represented and well over 200 college coaches coming each year to follow the four days of action.
Players took part in a workout day on Wednesday, which will be followed by three days of games. Teams were selected regionally by PBR's local scouting staffs, with Team Mid-Atlantic being made up of the top players from Maryland, Delaware, DC, and Virginia. Here is our staff's notes on players who had standout days during game action:
-Dinwiddie 2021 SS/RHP Kevin Gunn threw a perfect inning a strikeout, fastball was 85-87. Curveball was 74-76 and he threw one 80 MPH change-up. Very fast arm, projection to his frame, breaking ball was sharp and hard, showed swing and miss.

-Georgetown Prep (MD) 2022 Brock Rose also went 2 scoreless innings, showed the ability to get strikeouts. Fastball 84-86, curveball was 66-69. Longer, loose arm action, easier effort to his delivery. Warmed up and then had to wait through an extend lightning delay before warming up again. Curveball had big spin and a lot of depth with hard 11/5 break.

-St. John's College 2021 C Casey Gibbs had a strong day at the plate from both sides of it. In his first at-bat, hitting righthanded, he hit the ball on the screws and flew out to deep left. In his second at-bat, hitting lefthanded, he stayed inside and lined a base hit to left-center, showing some strength after pulling his hands in to get inside the ball. Showed a good gap-to-gap approach from both sides.

-Dulaney (MD) 2021 RHP/1B Todd Mozoki squared the ball up three times at the plate, lining out sharply to short and right field before getting one to fall for a double up the left-center gap. Made a good pick at first to end the game, hands are good and has some feel around the bag.

-St. John's 2021 OF James Wood was 1-2 with an RBI single to center, showing athleticism to adjust swing to find barrel as well as strength at contact.
