On Wednesday, May 22nd the Prep Baseball British Columbia staff hosted it's first of two Future Games Trials with the Island Future Games Trials at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, British Columbia. Future Games Trials serve as an opportunity for players who are age-eligible for our two premiere team's heading to LakePoint in late July for the annual Future Games event... Future Games (2026/2027) and Senior Future Games (2025).
This event featured roughly 27 prospects from the across the province in the 2025 - 2027 classes and allowed our staff an opportunity to get an in-depth look at the players, as well as collect updated metrics via our tech partner TrackMan.
