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, 2027 and 2028/29 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. We put our sights on the second '27 grad who made the roster for this years Future Games with INF Bera Calvo out of La Mirada High School. Calvo is a physical impact bat who shows intriguing power from his RH hitting profile while showing potential to play 2B/3B on the INF dirt. The #7 ranked '27 in the Prep Baseball California class showed well during his trip to LakePoint.

Scouting Report
Bear Calvo, La Mirada (CA), 2027
Positional Profile: SS/RHP High potential RH hitting offensive player with impact upside who can play multiple INF spots
Body: 6-0, 180-pounds. Strong present frame which shows muscular development in lower half with developing upper body. Physical.
Hit: RHH. Tall relaxed set up in stance with feet wider than shoulder width and slightly open. Rear elbow set just below back shoulder with hands slightly above the rear shoulder at same depth barrel is behind head close to it with tip pointed towards 3B dugout. Incorporates a small leg kick with a sink into his back hip during the load while his hands push back and stay back during the forward move into the launch position. Gets into his back leg during turn with full rotation of the shoulder in upper body to hit through contact. Uphill path with lift based approach to generate carry gets extension through the ball while staying in lower half efficiently to generate power.
Power: Strength in the frame with use of lower 1/2 to create torque and ability to sink into his legs combined with an uphill bat path projects power from the middle to pull side of the field. Nearly reaching 100 MPH on peak EVs gives him high upside HR power profile.
Arm: RH. INF-86 mph. Hand goes down before going back in throwing motion giving him some extra length which can effect release point on throws. Arm strength is present with carry on his throws. Show 3B arm strength.
Defense: Fundamentally sound with his footwork and displays good hands with a quality transfer. Has body control with his actions and can flash athleticism in movements. Profiles best as a 2B/3B defender presently.
