Flood City Elite

Athletic Central (Martinsburg) 2017 outfielder Chase Smith consistently takes good routes to the baseball in the outfield, while also sporting a quality set of tools offensively. The right-handed hitter runs a sub-7.0 60-yard dash and has solid power potential with an 88 mph exit velocity.

Hollidaysburg Area 2017 RHP/IF Cory Storm has one of the better sliders in the state, as it features tight, mid-70s tilt. His fastball sits in the mid-80s, while he is also a solid athlete, having run a 6.89 60-yard dash and posted 88 mph exit velocity in the past.

This team features a number of college commitments already, including Meyersdale Area 2017 RHP/1B Riley Christner (Pittsburgh), Hollidaysburg Area 2017 OF/RHP John Servello (Buffalo), and Bishop Guilfoyle Catholic 2017 outfielder Frankie Montecalvo (Seton Hill).

Other Flood City Elite Notes
A strong pitching staff includes 6-foot-3, 190-pound Somerset Area 2017 RHP George Coyle, who features a mid-80s fastball and posted a line of 37 innings pitched, 19 hits, 16 walks, and 29 strikeouts this spring. ...Left-handed hitting Altoona Area 2017 1B/OF Elliot Mast sports a 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame and is coming off an appearance in the prestigious Metropolitan Baseball Classic. ...Philipsburg-Osceola 2017 catcher Logan Williamson hit .323 with a bit of pop, 13 stolen bases, and 22 walks against nine strikeouts as a junior.
