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
6/20/17
A two-way prospect in the 2019 class. A left-handed hitter that starts in at tall setup. Uses a controlled stride for timing. Hands stay loose and fluid prior to launch. Natural tools are obvious. Barrel whips through the zone on a level to uphill path. Swing has natural loft to it that plays well to his pull side. Consistently produced towering fly balls to pull side in batting practice, showing the ability to leave the park. Ideal frame for the first base position. Moves off the bag with athleticism. Glove skills are above average for the position. A very good athlete that has a quick first step. Brings an athletic presence to the mound. Delivery is fluid and requires some effort. Arm works well through a high-¾ slot, with above average arm speed. Mechanically efficient and the ball comes out of his hand well. More velocity to come. Currently sits 77-80 mph with the fastball. Works off the pitch and consistently challenges hitters with it. His go to secondary offering is his 2/8 shaped breaking ball. Puts good spin on the offering that has sharpness to it at 60-64 mph.

Infield Velocity: 74
Exit Velocity: 87
6/23/15
6-foot, 158-pound thin, projectable body frame. From first base he moves well around the bag, with athletic footwork and moves well laterally off of the bag. He fields with his hands out in front of his body and throws with a clean arm action coming from a ¾ slot using 69 mph velocity. Left-handed hitter starts from a balanced stance and uses a very short stride before he swings. He uses simple, repeatable mechanics, with a slight hands back load. He swings with a level bat path through the zone and finishes with a two-handed follow through. Reached a top exit velocity of 72 mph and ran a 4.71 out of the batter’s box to first base. On the mound he doesn’t use much effort in his delivery. He lands in a straight line at foot strike, with his momentum finishing in a straight line towards home plate. He throws with a clean arm action, using average arm speed, coming from a ¾ slot. His fastball showed cutting action at times between 71-74 mph. Curveball had big, slurvy break at 60-62 mph. He threw a changeup showing some tailing movement, using fastball arm speed at 64-65 mph.
