Underclass Trials - South: Preview

On Wednesday, June 23, the PBR Illinois staff will be hosting the Underclass Trials - South Showcase at Ozinga Field in Crestwood. This event is open to players in the classes of 2023, 2024 and 2025. It will also serve as an identifier to select, invite events like Underclass Games and All-State Games.

Last year’s event featured Class of 2022 prospects RHP Ashton Izzi (Oswego East), who has since committed to Wichita State after representing Team Illinois at the PBR Future Games. Also in attendance was RHP David Andolina (Oak Park-River Forest), who's since committed to Lehigh.

CHECK-IN PROCESS

In an effort to continue and develop a simplified, contactless check-in process, upon arrival, players will scan a QR Code with their smart phone camera that will lead them to a Google Form. On that Form, players will enter their name (matching the spelling on their PBR profile) and hit submit. Upon submission, players will be prompted to click a link that will direct them to their jersey color and number, located next to their registered name. From there, players will be instructed to the area where they’ll pick up their designated jersey color and number.
