East Coast Pro is one of the most highly recognized events for high school baseball players on the East Coast and a tryout took place Tuesday at Tropicana field in Tampa for the majority of the top players in Florida. Position players took part in a pro-style workout, batting practice and a variety of testing run by Major League Baseball’s Prospect Development Pipeline.
The event was filled with players ranked in PBR Florida's 2018 Top 100 and a few guys jumped out immediately with impressive times in the 60-yard dash. The best time of the day came from, OFIsaiah Thomas (Benjamin School), a Vanderbilt recruit who ran a 6.37. Other top times included SS Xavier Edwards (North Broward Prep) with a 6.5, SS Blaze Alexander (Bishop Verot) with a 6.67, OF Jarrett Hall (Cardinal Gibbons HS) with a 6.65, and SS Andres Antonini (St Thomas Aquinas HS) with a 6.69.
