The 2024 Prep Baseball Junior Future Games are underway, kicking off game 1 with Team Georgia 1 taking on Team Michigan. Team Georgia took a tough 11-4 loss in game one but will look to bounce back at 5:00 on Friday vs. Alabama 2. Now we take a look at some of the standouts from game 1.

Will Dudley, OF/1B, Blessed Trinity HS (GA), 2028
Uncommitted. Strong, athletic 6-foot-0, 170-pound frame. Hard barrels in the first game of the Prep Baseball Junior Future Games that showed a heavy middle to opposite field approach. Balanced and controlled swing with a tall base that projects towards the ball with healthy momentum while utilizing a small load. Some bat waggle pre-pitch but syncs-up well and can drive the ball effortlessly.

 Tripp Swords, SS/RHP, Eastside HS, 2028
Uncommitted. Showed an advanced approach at the dish coming through with a pull-side barrel early in the game at an exit velocity of 88 MPH. Displaying good separation at the plate with a well-leveraged barrel through the zone. Exhibits a natural ability to get synced up with present bat-speed to match.

 Andrew Akopov, OF/RHP, Mount Paran Christian School, 2028
Uncommitted. After a loud round of BP yesterday the physical athlete at 6-foot, 180-pounds, stung one into center-field at an exit velocity at 88 MPH, to bring home a run for Team Georgia in the late stages. The incoming freshman displayed a mature approach at the plate coupled with present bat-speed and a well-leveraged barrel through the zone.

Grant Chaffin, OF/RHP, Central HS (GA), 2028
Uncommitted. Wiry 5-foot-11, 155-pound frame. Strong lead-off bat for Team Georgia as he barreled up the first pitch of the game into center-field for a solid line-drive. Had a loud round of BP at the PBJFG workouts. Aggressive intent with quick hands from the left side. Minimal pre-pitch movement. Small leg-kick load, on time, and makes consistent contact.

Chase Alonso, RHP, Rabun County Middle School, 2028
Uncommitted. Impressive outing from the imposing 6-foot-1, 185-pound RHP. Racking up 6 whiffs and four strikeouts through two-innings of work. Working with a dynamic two-pitch mix. The fastball displayed heavy bore and sat 84-86 MPH and topped at 87 MPH. The gyro slider was shown at 75-77. Arm to follow in the 2028 class.

Jackson Bredeson, OF/RHP, Walton HS (GA), 2028
Uncommitted. Tall, athletic 6-foot-2, 160-pound frame with a strong swing from the left-side. Shows feel for the barrel with a middle to opposite field approach. Minimal load initiated by a slight weight shift that transitions well with power. Generates leverage in his lower-half matched with a good upper-body cut. Matches plane and drives the ball hard.
