2023 Saskatchewan Fall Open ID, Saskatoon, SK
Saskatchewan, you're on deck.
PBR Canada is excited to host two sessions of the 2023 Saskatchewan Fall Open ID at the one of Canada's premier facilities, the Gordie Howe Sports Complex.
On Saturday, October 21, players in the 2024 to 2027 class will have an opportunity to put their skills to the test among their peers, and in front of our staff. This is a low-pressure environment, where metrics and data are collected in order to enhance a player's profile, and get ranked among the top players in Canada.
The PBR Canada staff will also provide unmatched social media coverage, while making sure to shine a light on local players from around Saskatchewan.
This event also serves as an identifier and qualifier for selections to the Future Games in Georgia, Best of the West in BC, West Coast Games in Vegas, the Northeast Senior Games & New York State Games in Cortland, NY and more.

In an effort to elevate the post-event experience for players who attend a PBR Showcase, the Account Dashboard is now your one stop shop to view all of your post-event deliverables, including your Video, TrackMan data and more.
TrackMan is the global leader in ball-tracking accuracy. Following a Prep Baseball Report event, all players will get unrivalled access to their performance data in the Trackman interactive app. Players can create custom dashboards that unlock both hitting and pitching data.
Pitching Features Include:
Pitching data access includes: release speed, spin rate, spin axis, release height, extension, horizontal and vertical break, and location on each pitch
See each pitch trajectory in 3D from multiple viewpoints
Create defined tags to label and compare pitches
Pin pitches together to create tunneling visualizations between different pitch types
Visualize each pitch location
Hitting Features Include:
Hitting data access includes: Exit speed, distance traveled, launch angle, launch direction, spin rate, contact depth and contact side/height for each swing.
Visualize plate coverage
Pairing of all data points on each swing
Key ball flight metrics will also live inside player profiles at PrepBaseballReport.com for the benefit of college coaches and recruiters, which will help prospects advance to the next level. TrackMan’s advanced data metrics will augment what players already receive from a PBR showcase, which includes an edited video of their performance, personalized scouting reports, verified statistics, run times and positional velocities.
All showcase prospects will receive a numbered, province-specific PBR shirt sponsored by our partners at Mizuno.
Firstly, welcome to PBR, where our goal is to advocate for every player in Canada, while acting as their biggest fans.
My name is George Halim, and I'm the Director of PBR Canada. If you're unfamiliar with what we do, hopefully this provides some clarity.
We're the platform that populates your player's PBR profile whenever they choose to update it, and we have the opportunity to invite your kids to some really cool events in Georgia, Vegas, Florida and more. I'll use 2025 Barrie Baycat Ty McGuirk (Ontario) as an example.
Ty attended Barrie Scout Day in 2021 where we first saw him play. He came back to the Future Games Frenzy in June last summer, and received an invite to represent Canada at the Junior Future Games in Georgia that August, the best underclass event in two countries. He was one out away from throwing a no-hitter down there, and he's now recognized as one of the top prospects in Canada in his graduating (Grad) class. Sure, he may have attended an event later on, but we saw him early at Barrie Scout Day, and now we know who he is for the rest of his career. We recognized him early enough to afford him the opportunity to get to Georgia. Type his name into Twitter and it'll make sense.
How did that happen? Players attend our showcase events and their photos, numbers, stats, videos, metrics and reports are uploaded into the player's individual profile. Hundreds of college and professional scouts have access to that profile. From there, the players have the opportunity to be ranked provincially and nationally while also potentially receiving invites to other events across Canada and the U.S. (such as the Future Games) for the rest of their high school career.
With our PBR staff in attendance, we use social media (Twitter, Instagram, TikTok and Facebook) better than anyone to essentially make them famous. I use that terminology deliberately because the more people know who the players are, the larger their digital footprint becomes. The more we see the players (in-season and at events) the better educated we are when creating our rankings system.
Now they have a personal highlight reel online, and a PBR Profile that houses everything where colleges can click on to get the full picture, if they have interest. That's why our staff risks it all for the best angles.
I recommend that players attend events just enough to keep their profiles current.
That number is relative to the player and how he grows/develops, while he opens himself up to further opportunities.
