Prep Baseball Report Iowa

The Prep Baseball Report Iowa's Top Prospect Games took place on August 9th, 2015 at Duane Banks Field on the campus of the University of Iowa. The showcase featured prospects from the 2016 class who showcased their talents in front of our scouting staff, college coaches, and professional scouts.

The top corner infield performance at this year's IA Top Prospect Games was by W. Des Moines Valley's Arthur Sells. Sells has a unique combination of size, strength and speed; running a sub 7.0 60 yard dash with 92 mph exit velocity. His future position points to corner outfield with his athleticism; but is readily usable as a first baseman.
