July 20, 2018
Greg Williams
Pennsylvania Director of Scouting



2018 marks the 7th year that Pennsylvania will be represented in the PBR Future Games. This one-of-a-kind event will feature the best uncommitted Class of 2020 & select 2021 prospects from our 35-plus state coverage area. The Future Games will take place on August 1 - 4 (Wednesday-Saturday) at Grand Park, a state-of-the-art 22-field baseball complex located in Westfield, IN, just north of Indianapolis.

The Prep Baseball Report Future Games is the premier summer scouting event for Class of 2020/2021 prospects. Last year, more than 250 college coaches from all over the country were in attendance, making it arguably the most heavily recruited event of the summer.

Today we continue a preview of the 19 prospects that will represent the Keystone State as members of Team Pennsylvania with a look at a pair of first basemen.

Team Pennsylvania First Basemen

Bobby Marsh 1B / Bellefonte Area, PA / 2021

Rankings  StateRank: 7 / POS: 1

2018 Preseason All-State Showcase
Physically advanced 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame. Left-handed hitter starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a lift-and-replace stride. Showcased above average balance and a fluid, easy swing that resulted in consistent barrels. The potential for future power is obvious as his young frame continues to fill out and there is more intent in his lower half. Ran a 7.42 60-yard dash and showed capable actions around the bag at first base with 78 mph arm strength across the diamond. The lefty sat 76-78 from a high 3/4 arm slot with some cut to his 4-seam fastball. The 2-seamer sat 75-77 with arm side run. Changeup is thrown with good sell at 68-70. Curveball rolls out of the hand with 2/8 shape at 65-67. Mechanics are balanced, easy and repeatable. Significant velocity gains are likely moving forward.

Christian Quinn 1B / Harriton, PA / 2020

Rankings  StateRank: 70 / POS: 2

2018 Eastern PA Top Prospect Games
6-foot-1, 200-pound switch hitter impressed from both sides of the plate during BP. Starts from a square stance and initiates his swing with a leg-hang stride form both sides of the plate with similar swing paths. True switch-hitter displayed greater pop from his left side (natural side) although he has been hitting from that side for a shorter period of time. Went 5-for-6 with two triples in game action showing a disciplined approach at the plate and a willingness to drive the baseball to the opposite field. Displayed a soft glove and capable actions around the bag at first base with 78 mph arm strength across the diamond. Also worked two innings on the mound sitting 75-79 out of a 3/4 arm slot with some cross fire action to his delivery. Curveball sat 66-68 with 1/7 rotation and changeup at 67-68 was thrown at near fastball arm speed.
