End-of-the-Month Roundup: February
March 1, 2019
Today’s March 1 and there’s already a ton of baseball in the books.
The PBR Illinois team has been busy bouncing around the state hosting showcases – from McHenry to Peoria. Naturally, there’s been plenty to report on in the fallout of these events. We’re also gearing up for the IHSA season to start soon, and first pitch is set for March 11. Across all PBR channels, February marks the start of the road to June’s MLB Draft. We held our 17th annual Super 60 pro showcase at The MAX at the start of last month, which generally marks the start of the new PBR calendar, for all intents and purposes.
Anyway, there’s plenty you may have missed along the way. This post is packed with convenient links and news over the past month. Check out what you may have missed below.
