On Friday, April 7th, the PBR Ontario staff headed to NRS Institute in Toronto to host our first Jr. Future Games Trials showcase of the season with over 40 players in attendance from the 2026 - 2028 classes 

The event gave our staff a look at the first crop of players vying for a spot on one of Canada's two teams at this summer's Jr. Future Games at LakePoint Sports in Emerson, Georgia. We had several players already on our radar who had their tools on display, as well as some other players who jumped onto the scene with strong performances.

At this event, we retrieved a significant amount of data on each player including: Batting practice measured by TrackMan, catcher velocity, outfield evaluation and velocity, infield evaluation and velocity and pitcher bullpens analyzed and assessed by TrackMan. We pride ourselves on utilizing the latest technology in the game to provide the most accurate data for both the player and those recruiting/evaluating the player.

Below, we continue our post-event coverage with a look at the top TrackMan hitting metrics from the batting practice portion of the showcase.
