PBR MN Jr. Future Games Trials: Event Preview

On Saturday, March 19th, 2022, Prep Baseball Report Minnesota will be conducting its 2nd Junior Future Games Trial event giving 2026 graduates the opportunity to tryout for Team MN. The event is to be held at the Braemar Dome in Edina, MN

For the majority of the athletes at this event it will be their first opportunity to participate in a showcase, and the initial step towards achieving a baseball player’s goals. The 2025 class set the tone for #TeamMN for years to come. 

The PBR MN staff has started putting together the team for this upcoming summer. Parker Killian, RHP/OF from Chaska is the first player to commit to #TeamMN. During the October event Killian impressed with a long athletic body and a live arm. Killian’s top fastball during the event was up to 83mph. He is a projectable athlete with a bright future.   

This event will have 4 main functions for the athletes. 

First will be the opportunity to be considered for #TeamMN and have the opportunity to be invited to Lakepoint and participate in one of PBR’s premiere events in the summer of 2022. 

Second, will be an educational piece about the beginning of the recruiting process, what scouts are looking for, and the overall landscape of years to come for the ballplayers.

Third, the event gives PBR MN the opportunity to get an in-depth look at the skill of the 2026 class and the future of baseball in the state of Minnesota. 

Fourth function of the event will be for athletes to create baseline numbers to improve on over the years and to see how they compare to the other athletes in the class.
