Sammy Esposito
PB SC Director of Scouting

From Tuesday, July 22, through Sunday, July 27, Prep Baseball is hosting the next edition of its prestigious Future Games at LakePoint Sports Complex in Emerson, Ga., featuring the country's best uncommitted talent. And, for the second time, the Future Games is hosting not just its typical set of incoming juniors and freshmen, but also a 17U division of uncommitted Class of 2026 players who will participate in the second Senior Future Games.

On the first day of the 2025 Future Games, all players representing grad classes 2026, 2027, and 2029 will be participating in a pro-style workout in front of a fleet of Division I coaches alongside fellow prospects representing nearly every state in the nation.

Inside this piece, we'll be breaking down the top statistical 17U performers from Tuesdays workout, using the data we collected from the athletic tests we conducted and the state-of-the-art technology that was on-site capturing batted-ball measurements and swing metrics.

Trackman Leaders - Hitting

TrackMan is able to track every ball hit into fair territory, throughout the BP sessions.  Below are the exit velocities produced by individual players.

Rank Name State School Class Pos Exit Velocity (max)
1 Liam Purcell SC D.W. Daniel 2026 RHP 99.6 mph
2 Charlie Scott SC AC Flora 2026 OF 99.5 mph
3 Kaido Greene SC J.L. Mann 2026 SS 94.7 mph
4 Roper Wentzky SC A.C. Flora 2026 2B 92.0 mph

AVERAGE EXIT VELOCITY

The average exit velocity measures a players ability to consistently produce hard contact.  The average was taken based on every ball tracked by TrackMan throughout the player's BP session.

TrackMan is able to measure and track the ball while in the air.  For every fair ball put in play it will display the distance the hit traveled.

Peak Distance - Best of the Hitter’s Session

Average Distance - Average of each ball tracked in the Session

LAUNCH ANGLE PERCENTAGE

Based on the ball flight, TrackMan is able to identify each hit as a ground ball, line drive, or fly ball.  While there are many factors as to why a hitter may approach each pitch in a certain way, the overall groupings of BP can give some insight to each hitter's approach.
