Throughout Wednesday, July 26-Saturday, July 30, 2023 Prep Baseball Report Future Games were held in Emerson, Georgia at our LakePoint Sports Complex. For this event the various PBR staffs from around the country selected the best uncommitted rising juniors and sophomores to form teams to represent their state or region in the event, bringing well over 450 of the best uncommitted players in the United States and Canada to one four field quad for 4 days.

For this event, players from Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and DC were selected to form Team Mid-Atlantic. Players on Team Mid-Atlantic had a position player showcase workout on Wednesday and then played in three games, one per day, Thursday-Saturday, going 1-1-1 against Team Florida, Team Carolinas, and Team California. Scouts from all 30 MLB teams and well over 350 college coaches were in attendance.

 

 

 

Burton's Analysis

 

Jake Wise RHP / Benedictine College Preparatory, VA / 2025

Wise became the frontline arm for Benedictine, the perennial VISAA power, this past spring. Logged a ton of innings and wins in his first varsity season and saw a lot of success. Thirty six innings this summer and only one earned run, with fifty-seven strikeouts, and a .091 BAA. High slot arm, mid 80’s fastball that has been upwards of 87 mph, and has 20+” of carry. Throws three secondary pitches for strikes and has some potential starter makeup. There is intent to the delivery, but he showed the ability to maintain velo deeper into the game during his outings this spring. The secondary pitches are serviceable and are thrown for strikes, but are not currently true out pitches. The pitchability is there and he will continue to get better as he adds polish to the secondary.
