Dan Cevette
Director, New York

Over the next few weeks, in addition to highlighting the Top 15 Player Profiles of 2015, we will also highlight the Top 15 Stories in New York during the 2015 calendar year.

Today, we’ll take a look at No. 10: Every year, at the end of February, we will put on the state's largest preseason event - The Preseason All-State Invite Only showcase, scheduled for Feb. 28 this year. This event was designed to give the who's who in New York a springboard as they enter the HS season. It comes as no surprise that last years article on the pitchers velocities gained thousands of views. Let's take a look at the No. 10 most viewed article of 2015.

Preseason All-State Pitching Velocities

Our inaugural Preseason All-State Event survived a sudden venue change nine-days prior and brushed off winter-storm 'Neptune' the evening before. The Preseason All-State event steam-rolled ahead without a glitch - hosting 80 high-level Upstate New York players eager to compete on the main-stage. Special thanks to all the players families that braved the weather and provided their sons with a great opportunity. Here's a look at the pitchers velocities we recorded yesterday.
