Senior Future Games: Team Carolina Workout Breakdown
The end of July has become one of the most pivotal periods on the amateur baseball recruiting calendar. The Prep Baseball Future Games, held annually at LakePoint in Emerson, GA, brings together the top uncommitted talent from across the country—drawing national attention from college programs coast to coast. With over 400 college coaches expected in attendance, the 2025 Future Games stands as a premier showcase event for aspiring collegiate athletes.
This year’s event once again features a three-tiered structure:
- The Senior Future Games, spotlighting uncommitted players from the Class of 2026
- The traditional Future Games, highlighting the Class of 2027
- And the Junior Future Games, featuring select talent from the 2029 and 2030 classes
Now in its second year, the Senior Future Games has quickly carved out a valuable role in the recruiting landscape, giving programs a chance to evaluate players who are closer to beginning their collegiate careers.
For the Senior Future Games, North Carolina and South Carolina have united to form Team Carolina—a combined roster built from two of the most talent-rich states in the Southeast. The event structure brings together regional squads from across the nation, offering high-level matchups and a competitive environment.
Below, we take a closer look at how the North Carolina representatives on Team Carolina performed in front of a packed house of college coaches and professional scouts at LakePoint.
