Assistant Director, Canada

On Monday, May 19th, the Prep Baseball Ontario staff hosted it's fifth and final Future Games Trials with the Ontario Future Games Trials IIII hosted at Connorvale Park, home of the Etobicoke Rangers, in Etobicoke, Ontario.

This event featured roughly 20+ prospects in the 2026 - 2028 classes and it was the final chance for players to showcase themselves ahead of our selections for Canada's two teams heading to the Future Games in late July... The Canadian Future Games team (2027/2028 prospects) and Canada's Senior Future Games team (2026 prospects). Players attending Future Games Trials events also qualify to be selected for other marquee events including the New York State Games (NY), NorthEast Senior Games (NY), West Coast Games (CA), Super Sophomore Games (OH) and more.

All player ran through a full workout that included batting practice and bullpens captured on our TrackMan, as well as a 60-yard and 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.

Earlier this week, we broke down the top measurable data performers from the event with our Statistical Analysis and Pitching Data Dive. Now, we conclude our post-event coverage within this Positional Data Dive as we take a look at the top TrackMan Hitting and VALD Performance running data.
