2021 marked the 11th annual PBR Future Games, which is a one-of-a-kind event featuring the best uncommitted prospects (2023 and 2024 class) from 40-plus states and Canada, all meeting in Georgia at the Lakepoint Baseball Complex. Players represent their state in the premier summer scouting event, which saw approximately 330 college coaches from all over the country in attendance this year. Wednesday kicked off the festivities as players participated in Loden Sports Testing and Vizual Edge eye testing at the Champions Center after picking up their Mizuno threads for the week. Players participated in a pro-style workout in "pod fashion" (4 regional states grouped together), running the sixty, BP with Trackman and Blast Motion, and defensive evaluation. Following the workout, teams participated in three 7-inning games throughout the weekend.
The PBR Future Games is the headliner event for the summer, and Team TN handled the pressure and showed well, finishing with a 1-2 record and several standout performances. TN had ten arms that were 87+ on the bump, including Jacob Conquest tickling 92 in the finale vs Kentucky. Jaron Elkins touched 93 from the outfield, then had the play of the event stealing home on a triple steal during game one vs Mississippi. TN flashed a lot of athleticism with six players logging at sub seven laser sixty, headlined by London Humphreys blistering 6.40 time. Hunter High joined #PBRBombSquad with an oppo taco in game two against Alabama before later adding a triple in game three.
