Prospects Scout Day: Quick Hits
September 30, 2022
On Wednesday, September 28th, the PBR Ontario staff remained in the Durham Region to host the Ontario Prospects Scout Day at Heritage Park in Ajax.
Another program we've held an annual Scout Day with several years now, the Prospects organization has continued to get stronger and stronger over the years and that was evident on Wednesday. The event featured 40+ players, including 25+ arms and it was loaded with talent from the 2024 and 2025 classes, along with some young 2026s who also impressed.
Our post-event coverage concludes below as we break down five of the biggest standouts from the event.
