Calgary Future Games Trials: Positional Data Dive


Cameron Black-Araujo
Assistant Director, Canada

On Friday, March 6th, the Prep Baseball Alberta staff hosted it's first of two Future Games Trials of the weekend with the Calgary Future Games Trials hosted at Duvernay Fieldhouse, home of the Okotoks Dawgs, in Okotoks, Alberta.

This event featured roughly 50 prospects in the 2026 - 2030 classes and it was a strong group of players, both on the positional and pitching side, competing for a spot on one of Canada's three teams heading to the Future Games in late July... The Canadian Future Games team (2028/2029 prospects), Senior Future Games team (2026/27 prospects) and the Junior Future Games team (2030). Players attending Future Games Trials events also qualify to be selected for other marquee events including West Coast Games (CA), West Coast Super Sophomore Games (OR) and more.

All player ran through a full workout that included batting practice and bullpens captured on our TrackMan, as well as 30-yard sprints captured by VALD Performance and positional metrics. Over the next several days we'll be highlighting top performers from the event within our post-event analysis. Stay locked into our social media channels over the next several days as we continue to push out video, leaderboards and more.

Earlier this week, we began our post-event coverage within our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive articles. Today, we will continue our post-event coverage within this Positional Data Dive article as we bring you the top Trackman Hitting and VALD Performance data amongst positional players on Friday.
