Prep Baseball Report

Elite Prospect Showcase Just One Month Away


Greg Williams
Pennsylvania Director of Scouting

An event that began in 2013 moves into its 7th year of existence with many of the top uncommitted prospects in the tri-state region getting together at Keystone State Baseball Academy in Manheim on October 26th. The Elite Prospect Showcase has seen 225 players go on to make college commitments in just its first six years of existence.

Image result for jj bleday marlinsThe most accomplished prospect to have participated in this event's long history is easily OF JJ Bleday who took part in the initial edition of the Elite Prospect Showcase in 2013. A freshman at Titusville HS at the time, it was evident that Bleday had a bright future ahead of him. Bleday went on to have a storied career at Vanderbilt University winning a national title this past spring and was drafted as the 4th overall pick in the June 2019 MLB Draft.

The 2019 roster is a work in progress and will not be released until registrations close in Mid-October. CLICK HERE to be directed to the registration page for complete event details.
