From August 2nd through August 5th, PBR Ohio will take a select team of players in the Classes of 2019, 2020 and 2021 to represent Ohio at the PBR Future Games in Westfield Indiana at Grand Park.

Players receive exposure unlike any other event for underclassmen. Last year, 100 colleges from all over the country were in attendance, including coaches from every DI power conference in the country. Only players who have a legitimate shot at being a Division I recruit and who have an interest in the possibility of making a verbal commitment during their sophomore or junior seasons will be considered.

Scouting Report

6/6/17
The No.1 ranked prospect in the 2020 class lived up to his billing at the event. A very physically impressive prospect at 6-foot-1, 185-pounds and is still growing into his frame. Has the look of a potential 5-fool prospect down the road as arm strength comes along. A powerful athlete with fluidity to both sides of his game. Looked at home in center-field, showing feel for the position. At the plate he is mechanically efficient and his impressive natural tools show in his swing.
60-yard dash: 6.96
Outfield Velocity: 80
Exit Velocity: 94

Wainwright has been as impressive as any prospect we’ve come across this winter. The outfielder has advanced bat speed and approach at the plate. Stays very fluid throughout his loading sequence and unlocks properly. Drove balls with authority in batting practice, producing consistent backspin. Also showed solid knowledge of the strike zone and the ability to lay off pitches just out of the zone. Recorded an impressive, 95 mph exit velocity. Athleticism is apparent through his actions in the outfield. Approaches ball in controlled, aggressive manner. Shows some quickness to his transfer with long arm action. Above average arm strength for his age.
Home to First: 4.45
Outfield Velocity: 81
Exit Velocity: 95
