The 2026 Prep Baseball Future Games will be held at LakePoint Sports Complex in Emerson, Georgia, bringing together the nation’s most promising teenage talent for a showcase that draws scouts, coaches and fans from across the country.
Rising Stars from the Pacific Northwest
Team PNW, representing the Pacific Northwest, assembles a deep pool of 2028 prospects, many of whom have already committed to Division I college programs, blending power arms, speedy outfielders and versatile position players to compete at the highest level.
Pitchers such as Collin McGowan, a top‑50 national prospect, fire fastballs that reach 93 mph, while Ryker Hartlaub has thrown a perfect game in playoff action and consistently hits the mid‑80s, illustrating the region’s strong pitching depth.
At the plate, Gregory Johnson’s peak exit velocity tops 107 mph, sending balls as far as 415 feet, and Kobe Reese matches that power with a 108.6 mph exit velocity and drives reaching 402 feet, underscoring the Northwest’s offensive firepower.
Speedsters like Beau Johnson of Wilsonville, Oregon, run a 6.77‑second 60‑yard dash and record exit velocities up to 100 mph, while Sam Smith, the top‑ranked 2028 Oregon prospect, posts a 6.47‑second dash and comparable power numbers, highlighting the blend of athleticism and strength.
Versatile talents such as Daniel Sleeter and Madden Pike can contribute on the mound and in the field, and sophomore Evan Guadalupe brings a strong arm and a gap‑to‑gap approach, adding depth and flexibility to the roster.
The event will serve as a crucial barometer for the next wave of collegiate talent emerging from the Pacific Northwest, offering a glimpse into the future of American baseball as many of these players head toward major college programs.
