2016
Year four was highlighted by current Coastal Carolina catcher Joe Singley (Archmere Academy, DE) posting an event record 1.81 pop time and current Toledo outfielder John Servello (Hollidaysburg) showcasing the skills that helped him garner MAC Freshman of the Year honors in 2018.
2017
Current Pitt freshman Kyle Hess (Donegal) turned heads with power potential in his left-handed swing while also shattering the event record for the 60-yard dash with a laser timed 6.44.
2018
Current uncommitted Emmaus junior Wyatt Henseler showcased the two-way skill set that earned him a spot on the Team Pennsylvania roster for the 2018 PBR Future Games. Ranked No. 14 in the PA Class of 2020, Henseler flashed a 95 mph bat exit velocity, 90 mph arm strength across the diamond and sat 87-88 off the mound to top off his impressive day.
