The PBR ProCase has been a staple of the Prep Baseball Report's pro coverage over the last 17 years. The event has become one of the more high-powered pro showcases in the state and has seen multiple high draft picks in year’s past. There have been four players drafted in the top five rounds of the MLB Draft to have attended the Florida ProCase in previous years. The biggest of them all was Mason Denaburg, who was taken in the 1st round of the 2018 draft by the Washington Nationals. Another ProCase alum was Freddy Tarnok. He was selected by the Atlanta Braves in the 3rd round of the 2017 draft. Sam McMillan attended the first Florida ProCase in 2016. He was selected in the 5th round of the 2017 draft by the Detroit Tigers. And just last year, Tyler Callihan was selected in the 3rd round of the 2019 draft by the Cincinnati Reds. 

The 2020 Florida ProCase will take place Friday, May 29th at Jackie Robinson Ballpark in Daytona, Florida. The event will feature a pro-style workout followed by simulated gameplay that we will be broadcasting live on Twitter. Continuing today, we will be spotlighting some of the players that will be in attendance at the 2020 Florida ProCase.

Next up is 2021 LHP Dominic Castellano (Jesuit). Castellano was a member of Team Florida at the 2019 PBR Future Games. He stood out at the event with his fastball up to 86 mph and a 73-77 mph curveball to mix it up on the hill. Castellano committed to UCF shortly after the Future Games. He ranks No. 70 in the PBR Florida Class of 2021 rankings.

Lean and athletic. Showed a plus breaking ball and feel on the mound in two scoreless innings of work. Commanded the 83-84 mph fastball with some sink and a spin rate of 2017 rpm. High ¾ slot with a quick arm. Gets over front side really well. The breaking ball at 72-73 really impressed with a high spin rate of 2314 rpm. He got around it well to create the 2-8 shape, the high spin and above average, late bite. He attacked hitters and stayed out of the middle of the plate, missing barrels and getting swings and misses. Highly athletic on the mound.
