On Saturday, March 18th, 2023, Prep Baseball Report Minnesota will be conducting its 3rd Rising Stars I.D. event giving 2027 graduates the opportunity to try out for Team MN. The event is to be held at the STMA dome in Saint Michael, MN.

For the majority of the athletes at this event it will be their first opportunity to participate in a showcase, and the initial step towards achieving a baseball player’s goals. The 2025 and 2026 classes set the tone for #TeamMN for years to come. 

The fall event identified some major talent in the state and this event will be packed with talent as well. The talent level of this age group continues to develop at an impressive rate. There are a couple players to highlight from this event. First, Tyson Moore, C/OF from Buffalo, MN. The 5-10 155lb Moore will be looking to build upon his showing in the Junior Future Games last summer and to represent #TeamMN this summer. Also, in attendance will be Cason Borchardt. The LHP/OF from Horace high school in North Dakota showed well at the fall rising stars event and will look to show his development from the offseason.

This event will have 4 main functions for the athletes. 

First will be the opportunity to be considered for #TeamMN and have the opportunity to be invited to Lakepoint and participate in one of PBR’s premiere events in the summer of 2023. 

Second, will be an educational piece about the beginning of the recruiting process, what scouts are looking for, and the overall landscape of years to come for the ballplayers.

Third, the event gives PBR MN the opportunity to get an in-depth look at the skill of the 2027 class and the future of baseball in the state of Minnesota. 

Fourth function of the event will be for athletes to create baseline numbers to improve on over the years and to see how they compare to the other athletes in the class.
