Last year’s event featured some top-end talent in the form of OF Briar Stinson (Rushville-Industry, 2020) and RHP Noah Farmer (Massac County, 2017). This event proved to be Stinson’s coming out party, putting him on the radar of many Division I programs. After accepting an invite to the 2017 PBR Future Games, Stinson impressed even more, and recently committed to the University of Kentucky.
Farmer, now at Southern Illinois University, possesses a projectable frame at 6-foot-4, 185-pounds. At this event last year, he showcased an athletic, live arm, running his fastball up to 88 mph.
