Uncommitted seniors often begin to get a little uneasy at this point in the early fall. With the early signing period looming in November a general attitude of unrest tends to settle in if the right school has not come calling for them.

Over the coming weeks we will take a look at some unsigned seniors that showed next level ability during their participation in the recent WV Top Prospect Games.

LHP jordan walburn (east carter hs, Kentucky)

Walburn sat 80-81 from a high 3/4 arm slot with late arm-side run to his fastball. The 6-foot-1, 175-pound lefty gets downhill well and registered three strikeouts in his three innings of work. Walburn also showcased a 71 mph curveball with 1/7 rotation and a 75 mph changeup thrown at near fastball arm speed.

Walburn displayed an athletic, repeatable motion with the potential for velocity gains yet to come. He worked quickly, and pounded the zone with a feel for all three pitches.

Following the completion of the Fall College Prospect Program unsigned seniors will have an opportunity to stand out on a day set aside for them to display their talent in front of those schools that are still looking to fill their recruiting needs for the fall of 2016.

The 2015 Unsigned Senior Showcase will take place on October 3 at the Keystone State Baseball Academy in Manheim, PA. This event continues to grow in popularity and in its ability to help match available seniors with college programs that have needs. Over the past three years 37 of 57 prospects have gone on to make college commitments with several others attempting to walk on and make college rosters this fall.
