Greg Williams
Pennsylvania Director of Scouting

2019 marks the 8th year that Pennsylvania will be represented in the PBR Future Games. This one-of-a-kind event will feature the best uncommitted Class of 2021 & select 2022 prospects from our 40-plus state coverage area. The Future Games will take place July 31st - August 4th (Wednesday-Saturday) at the LakePoint Sporting Community in Cartersville, GA.

The Prep Baseball Report Future Games is the premier summer scouting event for Class of 2021/2022 prospects. Last year, more than 250 college coaches from all over the country were in attendance, making it arguably the most heavily recruited event of the summer.

We will be highlighting each player on the Team Pennsylvania roster in the week leading up to the event. Links to those players that have already been highlighted follows at the end of this article.

Scouting Report

+ 2019 PBR Future Games Selection (Team Pennsylvania)

2/23/19

6-foot-3, 215-pound switch-hitter delivered a standout day. The left-handed hitter utilized a leg hang from a slightly-open stance to initiate his swing. He consistently drove the ball with backspin to the gap and registered an impressive 92 mph bat-exit-velocity. The righty uses the same load and step as his left-side. Although not as strong as his left, he still demonstrated the ability to find consistent barrels and show balance throughout his right-handed swing. Moved very well for his size during defensive evaluations using smooth, calculated steps and soft hands to gain momentum towards his target. Generated power with his strong lower-half registering throws of 87 mph across the infield. His 7.52 60-yard dash shows his natural feel for his frame. Right-handed pitcher pounded the zone with 81-84 mph fastballs featuring small arm-side-run from a balanced, high 3/4 arm-slot. Perich's 71-73 mph curveball showed short, slider like action with adequate arm-speed.
