The 13th annual Future Games took place on July 24-28 at LakePoint in Emerson, Georgia. Top uncommitted prospects in the classes of 2026 and 2027 participated in one of the most popular events each year.
There were 36 teams, including Team Massachusetts, with players representing 43 states plus Canadian prospects. Each team played three games the final three days of the event after all position players are put through a showcase workout on Wednesday, the first day of the Future Games.
More than 300 colleges from across the country were looking on as approximately 500 players participated in this year’s event. This year, more than 450 college coaches from all over the country were in attendance.

2024 Future Games: Team Massachusetts - College Interest In Future Games Continues To Soar
EMERSON, Ga. - It was another record-breaking Future Games as interest in the event continues to rise.
The Prep Baseball event that started in 2011 drew an astounding 425 college coaches, surpassing last year’s previous high number of 375 in attendance.
The attraction? It was obvious with 36 teams featuring players from 43 states and four Canadian provinces. Adding to the interest was the addition of the Senior Future Games with a dozen teams for uncommitted players entering their senior year of high school.
“The sheer amount of talent stood out,” noted Shooter Hunt, vice president of scouting for Prep Baseball. “I had many of the 425 college coaches in attendance come by and say that this was the deepest class that they had ever seen at the event.”
The talent was obvious according to Hunt.
“It seemed like every single arm that toed the rubber had huge upside, and 87-90 became the norm,” Hunt noted. “While the arms were outstanding, I was even more impressed by how comfortable the position players were in the box against those studs. There were some downright scary position player prospects.”
Dennis Healy, Scouting Director for New England and in charge of Team Massachusetts, was impressed with what his team showed.
“I thought the talent was just as good as ever,” Healy said. “We went 3-0 and I thought we swung the bats very well, probably the best offensive production we have ever had. The arms were good and we played solid defense. I thought the kids' energy was great.”
Healy is excited about what the Future Games can do for the players on Team Massachusetts, which defeated New Jersey, Connecticut and New York during the three days of game action.
“The value of the event is it allows kids from New England to be seen by all the college coaches in the country for an extended period of time, and it may change a players recruiting dynamic,” Healy explained. “As for us (coaches), it is a lot of organizing and communicating, so it is attention to detail.”
As expected, there was interest generated by Team Massachusetts.
“There were questions about this guy or that guy, college coaches doing their due diligence,” Healy said.
This year’s event also included the initial Senior Future Games for uncommitted players in the 2025 class, with Team New England among those participating.
“I thought the talent was awesome,” Healy said. “It’s a great tool for those still looking for 2025 players.”
Hunt was thrilled with how it all turned out.
“A record-setting 425 college coaches were in attendance for this event, and that number alone speaks volumes to the importance of the event in the recruiting world,” Hunt said about the 14th annual Future Games for incoming sophomores and juniors along with the Junior Future Games for soon-to-be ninth graders and select eighth graders and, this year, the first Senior Future Games. “There is simply nothing else like it. Many schools were there with three and four coaches because there was so much talent.
“It was fascinating hearing how each school split up the event,” Hunt added in reference to the challenge at hand to see players at each of the three levels of play. “They all appeared to have full on meetings prior to coming to LakePoint to figure out how to dissect the coverage to get the most out of it.”
As for what lies ahead, that is still to be determined.
“Nothing has been set for 2025, but I wouldn't be surprised to see some changes and advancements,” Hunt concluded. “We are never satisfied, and always want to provide the best experience for both the player and college coach so that it is easier for the two to unite.”
A Prep Baseball thank you to all that participated and a special thanks to the players on Team Massachusetts that gave their thoughts about the event (including what schools have been in contact with them since Aug. 1):
