A Milestone in Amateur Scouting
The 2026 edition of the Prep Baseball Future Games will take place at LakePoint Sports in Emerson, Georgia, from Tuesday, July 21 through Sunday, July 26. The sprawling complex, known for its immaculate fields and state‑of‑the‑art facilities, will serve as the backdrop for a week‑long celebration of teenage talent.
Three distinct competitions will run in parallel, each tailored to a specific age bracket. The Senior Future Games will occupy the first two days, July 21‑22, followed by the 16U Future Games from July 22‑25, and concluding with the Junior Future Games from July 22‑26. This staggered format allows coaches to observe a broad spectrum of prospects without overlap.
Organizers have highlighted the event’s evolution into the nation’s premier college‑scouting showcase. Since its inception in 2011, the tournament has expanded both in size and reputation, drawing more than 400 college coaches in 2025 — a figure that remained steady for the second consecutive year. The 2026 edition promises to build on that momentum, offering unprecedented exposure for the participants.
Saturday, July 25, will feature a packed slate of games across the 16U and Junior divisions. The 16U matches will run from 8:30 a.m. until 5:30 p.m., while the Junior division will take the evening slot, beginning at 5:30 p.m. and wrapping up at 8:30 p.m. The following day, Sunday, July 26, will see the Junior Future Games conclude with contests starting at 8:00 a.m. and ending at 4:00 p.m., providing a final opportunity for prospects to make an impression.
Looking Ahead
As the baseball community prepares for the upcoming summer, the 2026 Future Games stand as a testament to the sport’s growing pipeline of talent and the increasing sophistication of scouting practices. For many young athletes, the event represents a pivotal milestone on the road to collegiate and professional baseball.
