The 2024 Prep Baseball Future Games will kick off with a workout day at LakePoint in Emerson, GA on Wednesday July 24th.  The event will feature each territory in Prep Baseball bringing the top uncommitted players in their 2026 class.  This event has become a "must see" for college coaches as they are working to get into the rising Junior class.

2024 will feature a new look for the Future Games.  With new recruiting rules in place, limiting contact with prospects prior to August 1st of their Junior year, there was an expectation that some territories may see more top end propsects still uncommitted.  With that said, Team North Carolina will debut in 2024.  For the past five years, North Carolina and South Carolina have combined on a Future Games team, Team Carolina.  Prior to that, North Carolina players played with Virginia and Maryland as part of Team Mid-Atlantic for a year.  This year, Team North Carolina will feature approximately 24 uncommitted 2026 grads, all from North Carolina.

Team North Carolina Schedule:
Wednesday July 24 -- 4:30pm -- Workout Day with Team VA and Team MD
Thursday July 25 -- 7:00pm  -- Game vs. Team South Carolina
Friday July 26 -- 12:30pm -- Game vs. Maryland
Saturday July 27 -- 8:30am -- Live BP on field followed by Game vs. Team Virginia

The Future Games will be played in its entirety at LakePoint Sports Complex in Emerson, GA on Fields 9, 10, 11, and 12.

Previewing Team North Carolina: Catchers

Brady Marconi C / Ardery Kell High School, NC / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 34 / POS: 5 One of the elite defenders behind the plate from the time he stepped onto the campus at Ardrey Kell, Marconi has continued to develop and has added some offensive pop to his tool set in the last year. While he will shine on workout day, it can be his work with pitchers in game that makes the most impact.

Addison Rowland C / SS / Palisades, NC / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 18 / POS: 3 Big time athlete that will give a lot of coaches different options on how to get him in the lineup.  Behind the dish, the athleticism works into a very quick transfer and release.

Xander Sutton C / 3B / GASTON CHRISTIAN SCHOOL, NC / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 52 / POS: 8 Sutton stood out in several looks during the HS season but it was his work with the spotlight on him at the NC/SC Border Battle that solidifed his spot with Team NC.  Quick release with a strong arm will get looks throughout the week.

Hodge Williams C / RHP / Holly Springs, NC / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 39 / POS: 6 Production matters.  In several scouting reports on Hodge during the HS season and then at the NC/SC Border Battle and the NPI Tournament, Hodge simply produced. The bat has superior barrel feel.  Behind the dish, arms will love working to him.
