The Unsigned Senior Games took place on August 9th at Hoffer Field on the campus of Judson University in Elgin, IL. Position players took place in a pro-style workout in the morning followed by game play in the afternoon.

Following the event the PBR scouting staff compiled all of the notes from the workout and game play. Over the next few days we will be breaking down the event position by position. Yesterday we began the analysis with catcher's and today we take a look at the outfielders in attendance.

Below is a list of the top three outfielders from the Unsigned Senior Games.
