All position players will showcase their talents in a pro-style workout in the morning of day one of the event, Tuesday, June 13th. Following the workout, players will branch off into teams (selected by the PBR staff) and begin gameplay. The following day, we will finish up the event with another game for a total of two guaranteed games between the two days. Lineups, pitching rotations and rosters will be constructed by PBR Mississippi staff.
