As we wrap up the post event coverage of the inaugural PBR Hawaii State Games, we now continue our coverage of the talented Hawaii Baseball Community with Uncommitted Spotlights of the top prospects still on the board from the event. This event proved, yet again, that the talent in Hawaii runs deep and these Uncommitted Spotlights are use to continue to bring positive attention to players that we believe will translate well to the next level, and potentially, beyond the collegiate level.

These spotlights are used to help paint a clearer picture of the prospect with the help of our TrackMan, Blast Motion, Swift Performance and Vizual Edge systems, that provides objective data that teams to identify and break down players that they believe will fit into their system.

Today, we highlight Kalani product, Akaka Kalehuakuponoikahuliau, one of the top Uncommitted prospects in Hawaii, regardless of class
