February 1, 2015
By Chris Kemlo
PBR Ontario Director of Scouting
We would like to thank all who participated in PBR Ontario’s Preseason College Prospect Showcase at the new PlayBall Academy in Kitchener. This was a great opportunity for 2015, '16, and '17 prospects to be put on college radars. Many of the more than 50 prospects that participated impressed during their individual workouts at the showcase.
In addition to recapping the top categories and the complete statistical results, we offer our sneak peek at some of the top performers of the day as you will find below.
In the coming weeks, we will be adding and updating profiles for each of the players in attendance, including complete analysis and video.

Insider Notes from Preseason College Prospect Showcase
Last weekend, PBR Ontario held its first event of the calendar year in the new PlayBall Academy located in Kitchener, Ontario.
With the event being held in January, it’s easy to think that players would not be at their top performance level, nor did we expect them to be. Pitchers are usually just getting into their bullpen routines, concentrating more on building their foundation of mechanics and arm strength.
