PBR Future Games is set for July 29th-Aug 1st

Prep Baseball Report's one-of-a-kind event will feature the best uncommitted 2022 prospects and select 2023 prospects from our 40-plus state coverage area. The Future Games will take place on Wednesday, July 29th through Saturday, August 1st at LakePoint in Cartersville, GA. 

The Future Games is the premier summer scouting event for Class of 2022 prospects and select 2023 prospects. Last year, more than 320 college coaches from all over the country were in attendance. The Prep Baseball Report services are subscribed by more than 800 colleges and pro scouts.

Players will also receive maximum visibility from college coaches all over the country, in addition to being promoted through the Prep Baseball Report multimedia platforms. 

Each state team will play three games. On Wednesday, all position players will be put through a showcase workout in which they will run 60s, take batting practice and be evaluated at their primary position. 

'23 1B/LHP Zach Wadas of Brophy College Prep joins Team Arizona for the 2020 PBR Future Games.

2023 1B/LHP Zach Wadas (Brophy College Prep) ranked No. 2 in the Arizona class of 2023 rankings. He was also ranked No. 215 in our national player rankings recently. Wadas came to our Preseason All-State Games back in January. Had a bit of a rusty day but it was good enough to give us a glimpse what lies ahead for him in the future. With two-way potential and standing at 6-foot-3 180-pounds. His body stand outs for the age with young lean frame with long legs and arms, more maturing left. Hes a left-handed hitter, hitting from a wide athletic base with knee bend, turning knee inward as he goes slightly forward into foot strike. Looks to drive the baseball in the air with natural pop at 93mph. His power potential has a chance to come earlier than most. Confident actions around the bag at first base. Above average athleticism for the position. Also pitched at the event. Tall athletic delivery with some repeatability, pushing off early. Throwing with over-top arm action with short arm swing. FB worked 79-80mph with some slight cutting action. We had a chance to see him back at our AZ Fall Championships when he was a bit more in playing shape on the mound where he worked up to 83mph. Mixed in a gradual CV with downer shape at 64-69mph. High ceiling two-way prospect to follow. Zach Wadas is going to be a great addition to Team Arizona and we are looking forward to having him in Georgia for our PBR Future Games.

6-foot-3 180-pounds, body stand outs for age, young lean body with long legs and arms, more maturing left. Two-way player. Left-handed hitter with some rawness to approach. Hits from a wide athletic base with knee bend, turning knee inward as he goes slightly forward into foot strike. Works from underneath, trying to drive the baseball in the air. Average contact in BP on the day. Natural pop at 93mph arm strength. Confident actions and good target in the infield. Athleticism around the bag. Also pitched at the event. Tall athletic delivery with some repeatability, pushing off early. Throwing with over-top arm action with short arm swing. FB worked 79-80mph with some slight cutting action. Mixed in a gradual CV with downer shape at 64-69mph. High ceiling two way prospect to follow.

Was a stand out player offensively for Trosky National on Day 1. He has continued to show skills at the plate. On Day 2, Zach showed that he is also an athletic LHP that controls his energy well. His FB sat 79-80 MPH. Creates explosiveness in his delivery coming down the mound. He located 3 pitches for strikes early with above average feel for his CV and Changeup before spotty command late. He also flashed the ability to tunnel his pitches. Should be a high follow the next several years.
