The 2016 PBR Kentucky Top Prospect Games event took place June 14-15 and afforded nearly 150 players from all parts of the state the opportunity to showcase their abilities to the PBR Kentucky staff and many college coaches and pro scouts in attendance. The two day event included a position player workout on Tuesday followed by game play on Wednesday at the University of Kentucky.

There were a number of impressive performances at the event. In fact, in talking to several college coaches following the event, the overall consensus was this was the best Top Prospect Games event to date.

We will have much more information over the next few weeks on standout performers and all players who attended the event. For now, here is a look at the top statistical performers from the 2016 PBR Kentucky Top Prospect Games.
