Senior Future Games: The Premier Showcase for Uncommitted 2027 Prospects

Each year, LakePoint Sports in Emerson, Georgia, hosts the most significant uncommitted scouting event in the nation: Future Games week. While the overarching event features emerging talent across multiple age groups—including the Future Games for 2028 graduates and the Junior Future Games for 2030 and 2031 graduates—July 21st and 22nd are distinctly reserved for the Senior Future Games.

This premier showcase brings together the top uncommitted student-athletes from the Class of 2027 nationwide. Over the course of the two-day event, players are evaluated through a comprehensive pro-style workout, followed by a highly competitive three-game series. Among the distinguished rosters in attendance is Team Carolina, which unites top-tier uncommitted talent from both North Carolina and South Carolina.

The exposure provided by the Senior Future Games is unparalleled in amateur baseball. The previous year's event drew an attendance of over 450 college coaches, and initial figures from Day 1 indicate that this year's turnout has already matched, if not exceeded, that milestone. For these prospects, the event presents a critical opportunity to demonstrate their abilities and metrics directly in front of the nation's collegiate decision-makers.

VALD PERFORMANCE

TOP 60-YARD DASH

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	60-yd
1	Brooks Hemphill	NC	TC Roberson	2027	OF	6.56 s

6	Giovanni Buccino	NC	West Forsyth	2027	1B	7.66 s

Traditionally, the 60-yard dash has been the in-event standard to help measure a player's speed tool. We implemented three timing gates at the 10- and 30-yard splits, to capture athletes’ quickness, explosiveness and reaction time. From there, we will calculate an athlete’s top-end speed in miles per hour. While the measurement still has its utility, the 10-yard split has started to become more and more applicable in determining the player's burst and reaction time in-game, whether that's in the outfield or on the basepaths.

Exit Velocity: This metric measures the speed of the ball, measured in miles per hour, as it comes off the bat at the moment of impact.

Sweet Spot rate: This metric is determined by how often the player produces a batted ball during the session with a launch angle between 8 to 32 degrees.

BLAST MOTION

HIGHEST AVG. PEAK HAND SPEED

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Hand Speed (avg)
1	Jackson Brooks	NC	Emsley A Laney	2027	3B	23.6 mph
2	Brooks Hemphill	NC	TC Roberson	2027	OF	22.2 mph

4	Antonio Parrino	NC	Wake Forest	2027	OF	20.3 mph
5	Tyce Thompson	NC	South Central	2027	C	20.2 mph

Hand Speed: The observed speed as measured on the handle of the bat (measured six inches from the knob of the bat). Peak Hand Speed will occur prior to the moment of impact, very close to the commit time in the swing when the wrists unhinge.

HIGHEST AVG. BAT SPEED

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Bat Speed (avg)
1	Giovanni Buccino	NC	West Forsyth	2027	1B	74.9 mph

3	Tyce Thompson	NC	South Central	2027	C	71.6 mph
4	Antonio Parrino	NC	Wake Forest	2027	OF	69.4 mph
5	Brooks Hemphill	NC	TC Roberson	2027	OF	66.6 mph

Bat Speed: The observed speed of the sweet spot of the bat at impact. The sweet spot of the bat is measured six inches from the tip of the bat.

HIGHEST AVG. ROTATIONAL ACCELERATION

Rank	Name	State	School	Class	Pos	Rot. Acc (avg)
1	Jackson Brooks	NC	Emsley A Laney	2027	3B	24.6 g
2	Giovanni Buccino	NC	West Forsyth	2027	1B	14.6 g
3	Antonio Parrino	NC	Wake Forest	2027	OF	11.5 g
4	Brooks Hemphill	NC	TC Roberson	2027	OF	10.6 g
5	Charlie Beck	NC	Central Davidson High	2027	SS	8.7 g

Body Rotation: A swing that has the appropriate relative contributions of body and bat rotations is an efficient and powerful swing that maintains proper sequencing. An efficient baseball swing is one in which the body creates the initial movements, which is then transferred to the arms and out to the bat, thereby maximizing Bat Speed through this proximal-to-distal kinematic sequencing movement pattern.
