EVENT HISTORY

Last year's event saw over 70 players attend our early summer event at Tal Anderson Field with multiple notable performances.

+ Central City's Jakob Ruhl (2025, RHP) and Waverly's Brennan Miller (2025, RHP) both earned their way onto Team Upper Midwest for the Senior Future Games. Ruhl would eventually commit to Creighton while Miller made his to Iowa Western.

+ Wahoo's Kaden Christen (2026, RHP/3B) showcased a fastball that topped out at 88 MPH. Christen would be selected to the 2024 Future Games and is currently one of the top uncommitted arms in his class. He will be in attendance at this year's State Games. 
+ Papillion LaVista South's Cordell Clinkingbeard (2026, C/RHP) set the all-time event max exit velocity with a 102.6 MPH shot off the barrel. Clinkingbeard would later get added to the Future Games roster and make his commitment to the University of Nebraska.
