The Prep Baseball Report’s Preseason All-State Invitational took place on Sunday February 26th at Slammers South in Englewood CO. This was the third year for this event. Strong talent was on display with several players from the top 10 in both the 2017 and 2018 classes participating in the event. Prospects from the 2017 and 2018 classes came together in a pro-style workout to strut their stuff in front of the PBR scouting staff. 

Monday we posted the Statistical Breakdown from this past last weekends Preseason All-State, which you can view HERE.

In the coming weeks, we will be adding and updating profiles for each of the players in attendance, including complete analysis and video.

In addition to posting the statistics, player analysis, and videos, we are going to drill down even more taking a look at the top performers using commonly used criteria for analyzing prospects:
