This past weekend, August 4th through 6th, eight players represented the state of Louisiana at the prestigious PBR Future Games powered by Under Armour at Grand Park in Westfield, IN. Over 150 college coaches from across the United States were in attendance for the premier Underclass Event in the country.
The eight Louisiana players played on Team Select, which was comprised of Arkansas, Kansas, Florida, and Louisiana. Today we will take a look at video from the two pitching prospects representing the state of Louisiana.
