Due to a late cancellation a door was opened for uncommitted senior outfielder Andrew Zban to be added to the WV Top Prospect Games roster. The talented left-handed hitter has been impressive this summer at two separate PBR events, vaulting him to a No. 10 ranking in the WV Class of 2015.

Zban impressed in every facet of the game in June at the PA Top Prospect Games. The 6-foot-1, 185-pound outfielder showed athletic actions with good feet (6.97 60-yard dash) and the top outfield arm at the event (91 mph). Zban made a number of solid plays defensively during the two games his team played including a catch he made in foul territory in the bullpen in right field.

Zban also stood out at the PBR Mid-Atlantic Border Battle in July going 4-for-7 in game action while consistently barreling the baseball to all fields. The right-handed thrower showed two-way abilities sitting 81-84 on the mound from a 3/4 arm slot with a quality 75 mph changeup that had significant arm side run. Zban completed his well-rounded performance by running a 6.91 60-yard dash.
