2025 Signature Event: Main Event
Currently in North Carolina and fighting for a spot on USA Baseball’s U18 team at their 40-man roster trials along with several other FSS players, Prosek showed up midway through this year’s National Combine after advancing through the first stage in Cary and hit right out of the box in Houston, to the surprise of nobody. The Ole Miss commit turned it on for the final two days of the event — delivering several hits, including the triple you see below — and was an easy ask back to Texas for our Main Event in October. Prosek returns to the Future Stars Series after stints last year at both the National Tournament and Underclass Elite.
