Elite Prospect Showcase Roster Taking Shape



By Greg Williams
Pennsylvania / West Virginia Director of Scouting

An event that began in 2013 moves into its 4th year when many of the top uncommitted prospects in the tri-state region get together at Keystone State Baseball Academy in Manheim on October 29. The Elite Prospect Showcase has seen 90 players go on to make college commitments in just its first three years of existence.

The 2016 roster is still a work in progress and will not be released until Sunday following the close of registrations at midnight on October 22. CLICK HERE to be directed to the registration page for complete event details.
