The first year of the Florida ProCase featured players that will have a chance to see their name called in the upcoming June MLB Draft such as Sam McMillan, Freddy Tarnok, Tim Elko, Graham Hoffman and many others. Some of these players were well known coming into last year's ProCase and others saw their stock rise throughout the summer, fall and spring. This years event is no different.
