Unsigned Senior Showcase Spotlight: 3B/2B Garret Goslaw



By Greg Williams
PA Director of Scouting

Uncommitted seniors often begin to get a little uneasy at this point in the early fall. With the early signing period looming in November a general attitude of unrest tends to settle in if the right school has not come calling for them.

Following the completion of the Fall College Prospect Program this group will have its opportunity to stand out on a day set aside for uncommitted seniors to display their talent in front of those schools that are still looking to fill their recruiting needs for the fall of 2015.

The 2014 Unsigned Senior Showcase will take place on October 18 at the Keystone State Baseball Academy (formerly B2B Baseball Academy) in Manheim, PA. This event continues to grow in popularity and in its ability to help match available seniors with college programs that have needs. Over the past two years 26 of 38 prospects have gone on to make college commitments with several others attempting to walk on and make college rosters this fall.

Garett GoslawAs the roster begins to fill for this year's event we will spotlight each of the prospects scheduled to participate in advance of October 18.

3B/2B Garett Goslaw (Butler Area)

Goslaw showed his good feet with a 4.02 home-to-1B time and plenty of range at 3B at the Preseason All-State Showcase last February. The 5-foot-11, 175-pound uncommitted senior has repeatedly displayed a soft glove hand, the ability to play through the baseball and an accurate 77 mph arm across the diamond from 3B. Goslaw uses a leg lift trigger to create barrel whip from the right side. He shows good balance in his swing and some life in his bat with a very solid bat exit velocity of 90 mph.

Goslaw excelled during his junior season leading to a spot on the WPIAL Quad A - Section 1 all-star team as a designated hitter.
