On Saturday, September 12th, the Prep Baseball Missouri staff traveled to Atkins Park in Columbia, MO to host the annual MO Fall Games. This event was open for 2027-2030 class members, selected by invite, and featured 141 players from around the state.

All of our events offer players the opportunity to update their recruiting resume and showcase their talents in front of our staff. We also use these events as identifiers for future invite-only events, like the Preseason All-State, our summer Top Prospect Games and State Games, and the prestigious Prep Baseball Future Games that takes place at the tail end of the summer.
