The 2nd Annual Fall College Prospect Program came to a close on September 28 with a final stop at Widener University. The fall format involved two nine inning games and a showcase at each of three stops over the course of the month of September. Today we complete our analysis of the prospects in attendance during Week Three of the program by taking a look at the outfielders in attendance.
