PA Top Prospect Games Set to Begin



By Greg Williams
PA Director of Scouting

The 2015 PA Top Prospect Games begin tomorrow at La Salle University in Philadelphia, PA. 95 prospects will fill the rosters of six teams that will showcase their talents over two days and a total of six nine inning games. CLICK HERE for complete details on rosters, schedules and pitching rotations.

As a primer to the 4th annual event we look back on the 2014 PA Top Prospect Games which took place on June 17-18 at Kelly Automotive Park in Butler, PA. While 60-yard dash times will not be recorded this year (home-to-1B times will be), prospects in attendance will be shooting to match or exceed top results posted in all other categories listed below.
