South Alabama Games & Mobile Rising Stars ID: Event Preview


PBR Alabama Staff

DAPHNE, AL - The South Alabama Games & Mobile Rising Stars ID events will be held this Tuesday, July 18th at Bayside Academy Sports Complex in Daphne, AL. These events will consist of prospects in the 2024-2029 classes across the state of Alabama. Our Summer Tour takes the approach of making it easier for the player to find a local event, open to all grad classes and skill levels, and providing the opportunity to get in front of our scouts during the hectic schedule of summer baseball, keeping their PBR Profile as current as possible. 

Our staff will be using this event to select players to represent Alabama at the PBR Future Games & PBR Jr. Future Games. The Future Games is the summer's ultimate recruiting event for 2025 and 2026 uncommitted prospects. Last year's event was attended by more than 330 college coaches. This event will take place July 26th - July 29th at LakePoint in Cartersville, GA.
