Pennsylvania Director of Scouting

The Eastern PA Top Prospect Games annually showcases roughly 70 top uncommitted prospects across the state and from a few surrounding states. 2019 marks the 8th year for this event with hundreds of former participants having gone on to college commitments and to professional baseball.

As we draw closer to June we will be periodically highlighting some of the prospects scheduled to participate. Today we continue our preview with a look at 2020 OF Marcus Hill. The right-handed hitter showcased an 83 mph bat exit velocity at the Holiday Showcase in December and potential behind the plate with 73 mph arm strength out of the crouch.
