On Wednesday, April 15th, the Prep Baseball British Columbia staff hosted it's second of three Future Games Trials of the year with the Abbotsford Future Games Trials, hosted at The Barn, home of Ladner Minor Baseball, in Delta, British Columbia.

The event featured roughly 25+ prospects in the 2027 - 2029 classes vying for a spot on one of Canada's two premiere teams heading to LakePoint in July for the Prep Baseball Future Games... The Future Games team (2028/29) and the Senior Future Games (2026/27).

All players ran through a full workout that included batting practice and bullpens captured on our TrackMan, 30-yard with splits 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.

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 collected during batting practice and 30-yard runs on Friday.
