The Preseason All-State is one of Indiana's most highly anticipated events each year. This Sunday, February 19th will bring over 80 of the top 2018 prospects in the state to Grand Park in Westfield, IN.

The top ranked junior to be in attendance this year is Louisville commit, INF Jared Poland (Cathedral HS).  Poland is one of the top right-handed hitters in the class at 5-foot-11, 190 pounds. 

Other committed players to be in attendance:

Nicholas Schnell, OF, Roncalli HS (Louisville)
Grant Richardson, LHP/OF, Bishop Dwenger HS (Indiana)
Jacob Gilcrest, LHP, Center Grove HS (Louisville)
Garrett Burhenn, RHP, Lawrence North HS (Ohio State)
Craig Yoho, SS, Fishers HS (Houston)
Ty Bothwell, LHP, Boon Grove HS (Indiana)
Grant Brunt, RHP, Chesterton HS (Purdue)
Zyon Avery, C, Ben Davis HS (Ohio)
Pat Mills, 1B, Western HS (Purdue)

Many of the state’s top uncommitted prospects will also be in attendance, as well as some up and comers that are likely to see their stock rise this spring.  OF Michael Brewer (Snider HS) is the top ranked available prospect in the state.  Brewer ran a 6.56 laser timed 60 at last August's Future Games.
