On Monday, July 5, the PBR Wisconsin staff will head back up to Eau Claire, WI, to host the Western Wisconsin Open at Carson Park, home of the Northwoods League’s Eau Claire Express. 

This event is open to all high school graduates from the 2022-to-2025 classes and helps our staff identify talent in this specific area of the state for future invite-only events, including the PBR Future Games. To register for this event, click here. For all information on this event, including a more detailed look at our TrackMan and Blast Motion partners, click here. 

We last held this event back in the summer of 2019 and it was quite the impressive group. INF Gabriel Richardson (Eau Claire North, 2022) popped up on our radar that summer after a strong showing, eventually earning an invite to the Future Games. This was one of the first times we saw INF Ragan Pinnow (River Falls, 2022) in person too, as he’s currently ranked inside our top-45 for the state’s incoming senior class. LHP Kale Hopke (Amery, 2022), INF Joe Kroeger (2021), and RHP Owen Anderson (Hudson, 2021; St. Cloud State) all attended this event.

CHECK-IN PROCESS

In an effort to continue and develop a simplified, contactless check-in process, upon arrival, players will scan a QR Code with their smart phone camera that will lead them to a Google Form. On that Form, players will enter their name (matching the spelling on their PBR profile) and hit submit. Upon submission, players will be prompted to click a link that will direct them to their jersey color and number, located next to their registered name. From there, players will be instructed to the area where they’ll pick up their designated jersey color and number.
