Adam CelidoniaThe 2014 Elite Prospect Showcase will take place on November 1 and promises to bring together many of the top prospects in the Class of 2016, 2017 & 2018 as well as a few talented unsigned seniors. Last year's inaugural event was highly successful with 20 players going on to make college commitments to date. Among those in attendance last year, 2016 OF J.J. Bleday (Titusville) was one of the standouts. The two-way prospect went on to make a commitment to Vanderbilt shortly after the completion of the event and was named this fall to the final USA Baseball 59 man roster for the 2015 18-and-under National Team Trials.

The 2014 version of this event is just one week away and the roster is filling quickly. Over the coming week we will preview some of those on the roster as well as those that are added prior to the registration deadline on October 27.

C/3B Adam Celidonia, Montour (2016)

Celidonia is a 5-foot-11, 180-pound left-handed hitter that put together an impressive round of batting practice and opened game play for his team with a double at the PA Top Prospect Games. Celidonia has a fluid swing with loose hands that generates a top bat exit velocity of 91 mph. He has showcased good footwork and a quick release with pop times of 2.00-2.08 on throws of 72 mph from the crouch. Celidonia also has demonstrated the ability to handle defensive chores at 3B when not behind the plate. Currently ranked No. 40 in the PA Class of 2016, Celidonia was selected to represent Team Pennsylvania at the 2014 PBR Future Games in August.
