Greg Williams
Pennsylvania Director of Scouting

Just five weeks have passed since the completion of the 2019 PBR Future Games and to date a total of nine players that made up the 21 player Team Pennsylvania roster have announced a college commitment.

Over the coming weeks we will take a look at the remaining dozen prospects that participated in a Team PA uniform and recap their performance at the event.

Today we continue with a look at 2021 catcher Justin Butler. The 6-foot-1, 180-pounder showcased advanced catch and throw abilities while registering a top pop time of 1.97 during the evaluation phase of the event. An athletic right-handed hitter with present gap power, Butler flashed a bat exit velocity of 91 mph and is a 7.10 runner.
