Prep Baseball Report

Results from The PBR Ontario ProCase



By Chris Kemlo and PBR Staff
Ontario Scouting Director

We would like to thank all who participated in PBR Ontario's inaugural ProCase event this past week. This was a great opportunity for the top prospects in the province to get out in front of 25 plus pro scouts with more than 60% of MLB teams represented. We wanted to run a pre-draft camp to make it easy for scouts to lock in on 2016 draft candidates as well, get a look at what is in store for the next few years from Ontario.

In the coming weeks, we will be adding and updating profiles for each of the players in attendance, including complete analysis and video.

Visit our scout blog, which includes velocity, pop times and in-depth scouting reports. The blog will be updated throughout the entire spring, with information on top prospects and top performances, click here.
