On Tuesday, June 23rd, PBR Arizona had the chance to run its Class of 2021- Top Prospect Games, its first event of the summer for uncommitted 2021 graduates. The class has been itching to showcase their skills in front of scouts during the recruiting dead period began. The event proved that there is still plenty of quality 2021 uncommitted prospects out there still looking for a home at the next level. The Top Prospects games is an annual invite only event that features some of the top players across the state of Arizona. This years event took place at Shadow Ridge High School in Surprise, AZ . There were many players in attendance that one will want to follow in the near future. This event featured over 50 players  that took part in a pro style workout followed by live game action. This annual sold out event has become a must attend event for future college prospects looking to play at the next level. 

We began our post-event analysis with our Statistical Analysis, taking a look at the top statistical performers in each category. We also posted a Quick Hits article of our first impressions from the event. This event gave us some good knowledge into some players that we haven't seen before. We also had the chance to see players we haven't seen in a while due to seasons being shut down. 

Today, we keep our post event coverage going by continuing our positional analysis, highlighting the outfielders that competed at this 2021 event. There are many high upside outfielders still left uncommitted in the 2021 class with quite a few of them on this list. Be sure to stay tuned over the next couple weeks for more post-event coverage.
