2023 PBR All-American Game, Spotlight: Carson Brumbaugh
August 22, 2023
On Saturday, Sept. 23, Prep Baseball Report is hosting its inaugural High School All-American Game at American Family Field, home of the Milwaukee Brewers. The unique event will feature the nation’s top high school seniors who are set to battle against a roster of the country’s best juniors in Class of 2024 vs. Class of 2025 action, giving pro scouts a unique look at current and future draft classes.
We’ve begun to unveil the event’s participants on our social media channels, and we’ll spotlight those players more closely on our site, too, highlighting past performances and scouting reports from the live looks we’ve gathered on this gifted group throughout the years.
We're highlighting incoming junior two-way athlete Carson Brumbaugh, an uncommitted Oklahoma native who's been one of the premium performers of the summer. He starred at the PBR Future Games, at Area Codes, and now he's headed to Milwaukee to take part in the inaugural PBR All-American Game.
PBR's VP of Scouting Shooter Hunt had this to say regarding Brumbaugh's electrifying performance at LakePoint as a member of Team Oklahoma inside the Future Games at the end of July: "Brumbaugh stole the show during workouts as his mic-dropping moment included an array of home runs belted with an average exit velocity of 97.9 mph and a max of 104 mph. The right-handed hitter nearly broke the Blast Motion metrics, and had the company buzzing about the advanced analytics of his bat and hand speed combined with elite rotational acceleration... At 6-foot-1, 189 pounds his frame is wiry-athletic with some lean strength present, and more likely on the way. A versatile defender who can play anywhere on the diamond, he only amplified his value by hopping on the bump and running his fastball up above 93 mph with a quick arm and significant effort out front. His wipeout slider is a real weapon, and while he warrants an initial look as a position player, the fall back option as a power-armed right-hander is reassuring."
