Alberta Insider: 2018 Calgary College Prospect Showcase - Top Performers
Our first event of 2018 took place in Calgary this past weekend where 60 players were in attendance with some familiar faces from our inaugural event along with several new players to get excited about. Participants were taken through an indoor workout at the Coyote Den Training Center including; 40’s, defensive evaluations, batting practice, exit velocity and bullpens. There was definitely no shortage of talent in Calgary with impressive and uncommitted 2018 grads, a solid group of catchers, and young 2020 and 2021 prospects to get excited about for the future.
