PBR Futures

Yeah, we went last year and well worth the 13 hour drive, each way!  Son didn't get recruited as his velocity wasn't up to snuff, but a great experience to prepare him for the various showcases that followed.

I have been all over with for the past 15 years with sons.  this is by far the most recruited event east of the Mississippi for college.  I counted last year and every P5 was there and almost every mid major D1 was there. 

No shoes this year.  The last two years it was what you listed plus a pair of turfs so well worth the money.

Obviously they can't guarantee you anything  but the opportunity is there for you.

I forgot they got a pair of shorts too. Regardless, very worthwhile event.

The quality of PBR varies from state to state, but In Texas Toby Bicknell does a superb job.  He is a solid baseball guy and works his tail off.  His events are well run and well scouted.  If you have a chance for your son to attend a PBR event in Texas you shouldn't miss out.  As recruiting expenses go, PBR events in Texas are some you your better spent dollars for sure.

Top notch event. Even better than all the hype .We saw 88-92 mph all week .  If you have an incoming sophomore or junior that's uncommitted this is the place to be. 

PBR reported 253 scouts/recruiters at this event.  That seems pretty good.

PBR is awesome in Texas!  

How did your son go about getting an invite?  Was this a carry over from previous PBR showcases?

You have to attend a PBR event during the year.  They invite the top uncommitted players from each state.

About 500 players attend.  253 scouts watching two ongoing games on the same quad.  So all eyes on about 80 players at a time (20 per team /40 per game)   scouts can easily see both games due to adjacent fields.  each team gets 3 games and each player a pro style workout.   Tremendous opportunity to be seen.

Thanks largely to the exposure from this event, my son committed last night. Couldn’t be happier. #frogsup

Congratulations!

Congratulations!!! Tcu??

Thank you! Yes, TCU.

Wonderful news to hear BaseballHS, thanks for sharing.  All the best to your son + the entire family! 

Was he on team Canada?

No. My son hasn’t “tweeted” it out yet.  I saw the catcher from Ontario committed Friday.

Yep I saw that .Congrats again very cool!

Congrats BaseballHS.

We played the catcher from Ontario a few weeks ago in Arlington.  I thought he was the best defensive catcher we faced all year and all he did at the plate was hit 3 gap shots from the left side. 

Congrats, BaseballHS - that’s awesome!

One of my son’s teammates had a great showing and he literally went from having a few interested teams to multiple Power 5’s making offers over the last couple of days. 

Congrats to your boy!

However, this is an invite only event. It's not like you can pay the $100 and attend. This event draws the top talent from each state, based on prior PBR exposure.

Congrats.  Best event out there for uncommitted.  If your son is uncommitted, you have to attend a PBR event in your state and request the invite to Futures Game.  My son was blessed to go twice.
