On Wednesday, July 28, the PBR Junior Future Games kicked off at the LakePoint Sports Complex in Cartersville, Georgia. Several teams from across the country, picked by the respective directors of each Prep Baseball Report state division, will square up in a tournament-style format, starting with gameplay on Thursday. Each respective team will play three games and participate in a guaranteed single-elimination playoff, starting on Saturday night.

The showcase portion of the event took place throughout the day on Wednesday, and three different PBR Illinois teams participated; one at the 13U level and two with the 14s. We’ll highlight the 2025 and 2026 graduates that showed well from a data standpoint below, inside our traditional statistical analysis.
