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 will begin spotlighting some of the standouts on Team California from the 2024 Future Games. First, we take a look at '26 OF Camden Goetz of Canyon High School. 


Scouting Report

7/23/24

Camden Goetz, Canyon (CA), 2026
Positional Profile: OF/RHP LH hitting OF who profiles as high ceiling offensive potential with 3 position OF potential.
Body: 6-1, 180-pounds. Athletic frame with some wiry present strength and room to fill as he matues.
Hit: LHH. Narrower set up with feet under his shoulders slightly open bend in his knees and hinge at hips with body weight leaned forward. Hands are above the rear shoulder just below his ear height higher back elbow and flatter bat angle tipped behind his head. Medium to long stride in his forward move with minimal backward movement in his lower 1/2. At foot strike goes into a bit of a shift style weight transfer with tilt in his body at contact helping him to stay behind the baseball. Small wrap of the barrel behind his head and minimal hand load into a direct bat path into the hitting zone with uphill path through the zone that generates leverage from line to line and accuracy with his barrel.
Power: There is impact in the swing path and tilt in his body that helps him flash the ability to create leverage and carry around the field. Power plays best from middle of the field for doubles to pull side HR impact with potential for more to come.
Arm: RH. OF-83 mph. Deeper arm stroke in the back swing with quickness through the throw and uses his body well to help create carry on his throws.
Defense: Good athlete who runs well and can cover ground with CF potential and can easily handle either corner.
