The 2017 PBR Pennsylvania Preseason All-State Showcase kicks off one month from yesterday. Once the dust settles on the event, initial invitations will be sent out to prospects in the 2019 and 2020 classes to compete for Team Pennsylvania at the PBR Future Games in August. Today we take a look at team members from the summer of 2014 to see where prospects are preparing for their freshman years of college baseball.

The 17 members of the 2014 Team Pennsylvania roster are currently playing in eight different state. 10 players went the Division I route, four are on Division II rosters, one player is playing at the Division III level and two chose to go the junior college route.

Druw Bowen & Corbin Kessler got a head start on their teammates choosing to go the route of college football and recently completed their freshman seasons on the gridiron at West Virginia and Mercyhurst respectively.

The lone member of the roster still competing as a high school player, RHP/SS Matt Gorman, will head to Harford CC next fall to join his Future Games teammate RHP Frankie Fraschetti.

The remaining 14 members of the roster will step onto a college baseball diamond for the first time in February as freshmen.

Celidonia and Verratti will butt heads in the rugged Pennsylvania State Athletic Confernce, one of the top Division II leagues in the country. Schultz and Matthews will once again team up at Kent State.
