The inaugural PBR Alberta Top Prospect Games took place in St. Albert this past Friday where 42 players participated in the event that featured 2019, 2020, and 2021’s. The prospects were taken through a typical showcase workout in the morning followed by a simulated 9 inning game throughout the afternoon. There were many defensive highlights, solid pitching performances along with several exciting uncommitted guys who had good days at the plate. Here we breakdown the top performers of the day by category.

In the coming weeks, we will be adding and updating profiles for each of the players in attendance, including complete analysis and video.
