From August 2nd through August 5th, PBR Ohio will take a select team of players in the Classes of 2019, 2020 and 2021 to represent Ohio at the PBR Future Games in Westfield Indiana at Grand Park.

Players receive exposure unlike any other event for underclassmen. Last year, 100 colleges from all over the country were in attendance, including coaches from every DI power conference in the country. Only players who have a legitimate shot at being a Division I recruit and who have an interest in the possibility of making a verbal commitment during their sophomore or junior seasons will be considered.

Scouting Report

6/6/17
A left-handed hitter that starts in an athletic, open setup. Advanced natural tool for his age. Loading sequence is fluid and efficient. Strong kid with bat speed. Showed the ability to drive the ball with authority to both sides of the field, with power potential to pull side. Behind the plate he is mechanically sound with some athleticism. Arm works well and throws were on the bag.
60-yard dash: 7.66
Catcher Velocity: 80
Pop Times: 2.00-2.11
Exit Velocity: 90

 

2/19/17
6-foot-1, 185-pound prospect. Behind the dish, he starts in a balanced stance. Weight slightly shifted onto his toes. Transfer is quick and clean. Gets rid of the ball with a sense of urgency. Short arm action through a high ¾ slot. Above average arm strength at his age for a catcher with top velocity of 79 mph. Was very impressive in batting practice as well. Loading sequence is fluid, incorporating a leg kick while taking his hands to launch. Bat speed and strength are both well above average tools for his age. Swings the bat with intent. Has the look of a guy who can consistently drive the gaps and enough juice to get it out of the park.
60 Yard Dash: 7.51
Pop Time: 1.87-1.90
Position Velocity: 79
Exit Velocity: 85 

7/26/16
6-foot-1, 185-pound strong frame. A very talented catching prospect. Behind the plate he has feel for the position and is very sound mechanically. Blocking and receiving skills well are above average tools. Pop times ranged from 1.91-2.0, and he threw with 77 mph arm strength. Was impressive in both the showcase portion and game play behind the plate and equally as impressive at the plate. Left-handed power hitting catchers are hard to come by and he showed signs of being that down the road. Has an aggressive approach but is able to remain under control. Movements are fluid and batspeed is impressive. Recorded multiple extra base hits in game play and reached a top exit velocity of 87 mph.
