It was a packed house of talent last evening at Champions Baseball Academy in Nicholasville as players from around the state convened for the 2nd Annual Preseason All-State Showcase.  A total of nearly 110 players put their talents on display, and the results certainly did not disappoint.

As we look back to last year's inaugural Preseason All State Showcase, several event records fell by the wayside last evening.  Below we take a look at the top statistical performers from last night with event and/or PBR Kentucky records being noted.
