The Prep Baseball Report Future Games was Thursday through Saturday, Aug. 4-6, with a loaded roster of uncommitted 2018 and 2019 prospects. This year, 16 hand-picked teams, which spans 27 states, competed at Grand Park, a state-of-the-art 22-field complex located in Westfield, IN.

Powered by Under Armour, the PBR Future Games kicked off with a workout day on Thursday, where all the position players performed in front of college coaches. Each team played three games on Friday and Saturday. 

In its sixth year, the PBR Future Games started from humble beginnings, with only four teams. The first year, in 2011, Team Illinois dominated the event, headlined by OF Corey Ray, who was recently picked No. 5 overall in last June’s MLB Draft. Now the Future Games has become one of the most heavily scouted events of the summer. Last year, more than 110 colleges from all over the country were in attendance; with this year's event attracting well over 200 college coaches into the event.

The teams participating this year were: Illinois, Indiana, Iowa/Minnesota, Connecticut, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New York/New Jersey, Ohio, Ontario, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Wisconsin and Mid-Atlantic (Maryland, Virginia and Delaware). There is also Team Select, which is comprised of players from Louisiana, Florida, Arkansas, Texas and Kansas.
