Top Performers at the Eastern PA Open ID Showcase (Session 2)



By Greg Williams
PA Director of Scouting

HigginsA number of impressive performances were turned in at the Eastern PA Open ID Showcase on January 26 at B2B Baseball in Manheim, PA . One of the top performances of the day was turned in by 6-foot-3, 200-pound LHP Connor Higgnins (Parkland HS, 2015). Higgins sat 83-85 with a heavy fastball that touched 87 mph on several occasions. The athletic lefty showcased a feel for three pitches and a repeatable delivery that will lend itself to continued gains in velocity over time. Higgins, who also plays quarterback for Parkland, showed the potential to be a highly coveted recruit in the Class of 2015. Over the coming week we will analyze all the talent in attendance. For now, here are some of the top performances on the day.
