2018 Preseason Preview: Unsigned Seniors Find a Home
November 15, 2018
With the changes to the NCAA rules regarding the signing of a National Letter of Intent for the sport of baseball, uncommitted seniors will have an opportunity to sign with the school of their choice during the course of the winter and spring.
On an annual basis those seniors still searching for the right college fit have had success in gaining that last piece of exposure during a number of PBR events conducted during the winter months.
Today we look back at a pair of uncommitted seniors from the 2018 Preseason Preview event hosted at Keystone State Baseball Academy. Both players went on to announce college commitments shortly after the completion of the event.
This year's Preseason Preview will take place on January 26th.

CLASS OF 2018
Ryan Casey, LHP, Pope John Paul II HS (PA)
5-foot-10, 185-pound lefty sat 76-78 out of a 3/4 arm slot with some arm side run to his fastball. Curveball showed 1/7 shape at 59-62 and changeup was thrown at 68-71 with some sink. Works solely out of the stretch. Drops into a point of strength in his stack position with some slight fall to the third base dugout at finish. Commanded the zone consistently with all three pitches.
+ Casey went on to commit to Elizabethtown College
Jake Korobellis, RHP, Cherokee HS (NJ)
6-foot, 190-pound right-hander with a solid lower half. Initiates his delivery with a side rocker step and exhibits balance through finish. Fastball sat 80-83 with some arm side run with plenty more in the tank. Curveball has slider 10/4 slider shape at 70-72 and changeup is a quality, next level pitch at 74-77 with hard sink and arm side run. Physical frame and potential to add additional strength make Korobellis a definite follow in this class for the spring of 2018.
+ Korobellis went on to commit to Rowan College at Gloucester County
