Prep Baseball Report

Preseason All-State Showcase: Event Info and Final Roster


Chris Fuller
Kentucky Director of Scouting

The annual Preseason All-State Showcase will take place at Champions in Lexington this Sunday, February 11, and will once again include many top uncommitted players from all corners of the state. All told, nearly 150 players will have the opportunity to showcase themselves in front of our staff and college coaches in attendance in the premier preseason scouting event. Since its inception in 2013, nearly 300 players who have attended the Preseason All-State event have gone on to commit to college baseball programs.

Champions is located at:

2061 Lexington Rd.
Nicholasville, KY. 40356

This year’s event includes no shortage of talent, from top uncommitted seniors to high-level underclassmen. In fact, this arguably may be the best roster of players we have yet to assemble for this event, and they will all be on display in one location on Sunday.

Event Check-In Times (Eastern Time)

11:15-11:45 AM – Check in for all position players
4:00-4:15 PM – Check in for all PO’s

Players need to wear baseball pants, a baseball hat, and bring their normal equipment to the event. A numbered Adidas jersey will be provided to players at check in.

Here is a look at the final event roster broken down by class. A few players may be added to this roster.
