Brett Thorney
Arizona Scouting Director

Team Arizona made it to Emerson, GA for the 2020 PBR Future Games. The event located at the LakePoint Sports Complex, widely considered as the best venue in the country for amateur baseball has come to a close. PBR selected some of the top uncommitted 2022 & 2023 grad prospects from around the country to compete in this prestigious event.  Team Arizona brought 19 players that will all be looking to show off their talent to the rest of the nation, PBR scouting staff and college coaches from around the country. All games are live streamed through Playsight on the Future Games homepage where scouts can follow prospective athletes. 

On Saturday, August 1st Team Arizona started off their schedule with a pro-style workout where they showed off some of their individuals tools and recorded measurable statistics. These sessions were videotaped and will go on individual PBR profile pages along with showcase data and scouting notes throughout the week. After the workout portion completes, teams spend the next two days competing in live game action versus the other PBR select teams from around the country. Team Arizona stared off its live game action yesterday, taking on Team California & Team PNW. Team Arizona took away two wins on the day.
