Cam Black-Araujo
Assistant Director, Prep Baseball Canada

On Saturday, March 9th the Prep Baseball Alberta staff hosted the first of eight scheduled Future Games Trials across the country with the Edmonton Future Games Trials at The Shop by SPMBA in Sherwood Park, Alberta. This event featured 34 players in the Edmonton and surrounding area in the 2025 - 2027 classes.

Future Games Trials allow our staff to get an up close look and updated metrics/data on eligible players for the Future Games (2026 & 2027s) and the Senior Future Games (2025s, both taking place in late July at LakePoint Sports (Emerson, Georgia). 

Earlier this week we began our post-event coverage within our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive articles. Today we'll conclude our post-event leaderboards within this article as we take a look at the top hitting metrics, captured by TrackMan, from the Future Games Trials in Edmonton.
