LOS ANGELES, CALIF. - From Wednesday, July 24, through Sunday, July 28, Prep Baseball hosted the latest edition of its prestigious Future Games and Junior Future Games at LakePoint Sports Complex in Emerson, GA., featuring the country's best uncommitted talent. 

And for the first time ever, the Future Games hosted not just its typical set of incoming juniors and freshmen, but also a 17U division of uncommitted Class of 2025 players who participated in the inaugural Senior Future Games.

On the first day of the 2024 Future Games, all players representing the 2025, 2026, and 2028 grad classes participated in a pro-style workout in front of a fleet of Division I coaches - over 425 in total -  alongside fellow prospects representing nearly every state in the nation.

Today, we continue spotlighting the uncommitted talent who made up Team California at the 2024 Future Games. Next, we take a look at another impressive arm from the strong Team California staff in '26 RHP Jonny Haskett from St. Augustine High School in San Diego. The wiry built 6' 177 lbs. Haskett toed the rubber for 2 innings against Team Arizona where he featured a pair of high spin pitches in his FB and CB while mixing in a feel for his CHG. Haskett would allow no runs on 1 hit with 1 K.
