The 2014 Elite Prospect Showcase is set for tomorrow (November 1) and many of the top prospects in the Class of 2016, 2017 & 2018 as well as a few talented unsigned seniors are prepared to showcase their stuff. Last year's inaugural event was highly successful with 20 players going on to make college commitments to date. Among those in attendance last year, 2016 OF J.J. Bleday (Titusville) was one of the standouts. The two-way prospect went on to make a commitment to Vanderbilt shortly after the completion of the event and was named this fall to the final USA Baseball 59 man roster for the 2015 18-and-under National Team Trials.

SS/RHP peter vaccaro, Oley Valley (2017)

Vacarro went 1-for-3 with a double to the opposite field on day one of the PA Underclass Games in June. The 5-foot-8, 165-pound left-handed hitter ran a 7.35 60-yard dash and registered an impressive 87 mph bat exit velocity from the left side of the plate. Vacarro had a breakout spring as a freshman starter at Oley Valley and is currently ranked No. 15 in the PA Class of 2017.
