Throughout Wednesday, July 26-Saturday, July 30, 2023 Prep Baseball Report Future Games were held in Emerson, Georgia at our LakePoint Sports Complex. For this event the various PBR staffs from around the country selected the best uncommitted rising juniors and sophomores to form teams to represent their state or region in the event, bringing well over 450 of the best uncommitted players in the United States and Canada to one four field quad for 4 days.

For this event, players from Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and DC were selected to form Team Mid-Atlantic. Players on Team Mid-Atlantic had a position player showcase workout on Wednesday and then played in three games, one per day, Thursday-Saturday, going 1-1-1 against Team Florida, Team Carolinas, and Team California. Scouts from all 30 MLB teams and well over 350 college coaches were in attendance.

 

 

 

Burton's Analysis

 

Caden Merritt RHP / OF / Gainesville, VA / 2025

Lean, athletic frame with proportional strength. Two-way talent that is probably more positional than arm right now. Above average runner, some versatility in the outfield, and has flashed more gap to gap, doubles power, than raw power. Instinctive, aggressive baserunner and showed it off in our third and final game. Walked into a stolen base to third and would then take a big risk, taking home when the catcher was a little slow recovering from a wild pitch. High energy, great clubhouse guy, and has some pitchability on the mound. Not overpowering velo, but will move it in and out and spin in any count to keep hitters off balance.
