Prep Baseball Report Minnesota

The PBR Junior Future Games Trial- Team Minnesota is coming Sunday, October 18th, 2020 to the West St. Paul Athletic Center. The event is open to Class of 2025 Prospects only. 

For most participants, this will be their first showcase event - an initial step toward achieving a player’s baseball goals.

This event will have four main functions.

Part of this event is educational. There will be a lecture about what scouts look for, how to comport themselves, what to expect in the recruiting process, and the overall landscape of playing at the next level.

The second function of this event will be for players to create baseline numbers for themselves to improve and see where they compare to other players their age across the state.

The third reason for this event is for PBR to have an in-depth look at the best young players and the future of the state. 

The fourth function of the event is to identify players to represent the state of Minnesota at the PBR Junior Future Games held at LakePoint in Cartersville GA in August of 2021.
