PBR Ohio started up on May 3rd, 2011 as seen here. From that day, Chris Valentine has had a goal to promote high school baseball in Ohio at the highest level possible. Chris has been able to do this thanks to the help of parents, coaches, and the talented players throughout the state of Ohio.

Chris has also built a staff that has the drive to make Ohio one of, if not the top viewed website for Prep Baseball Report as well as put on some of the best showcases in the nation to help promote the high school talent that resides in the Buckeye State.

Dylan Hefflinger, PBR Ohio Editor in Chief/NW Scout, along with Jordan Chiero, PBR Ohio Director Scouting take a look back at the year in review and put together a list of the top stories for 2016.

Today we take a look at the 2016 Top Prospect Games.

Each day we will reveal the next story on the list. A hint for the next story is the word "Breakout Performances".

PBR Ohio's Top Stories for the Year 2016: Top Prospect Games A Success Once Again

The Top Prospect Games in Ohio has been the top showcase in the state and one of the top showcases in the Midwest for many years now, and the 2016 TPG was once again a success.

The TPG over the years has seen numerous participants live out their dreams, being able to play collegiate baseball and with some, get drafted. Take a glance at the history of the Top Prospect Games by clicking here.

As seen here, the 2016 TPG showcased some of the top talent in the Midwest, let alone Ohio. Whether it was the numerous underclassmen sitting in the upper-80s/low-90s on the hill, the incredibly fast 60-yard dash times, the positional velocities, the pop times, or the exit velocities, the 2016 TPG showed that Ohio has talent from all over the state.

Along with the talent that the TPG has to offer, the facility of Prasco Park is second to none when it comes to the venue, the hospitality, the people the food and the great times.

The 2017 TPG is just around the corner in June, to request an invitation, please click here.
