With more than 120 scouts in attendance, the 14th Annual Super 60 Pro Showcase delivered many highlights by prospects from 19 different states on Sunday, Feb. 7 at The Max in McCook, IL. Throughout the coming weeks we will produce content highlighting the top performers, the biggest risers and much more from the event, but today we take a quick look at the best statistical performances, which includes two event records.

Although statistics only paint a partial picture of how well a player performed, these numbers are pretty telling for early February:

Grade: 2017
Height/Weight: 6-foot-2, 230 pounds
High School: Olentangy Orange
Ranking: 1st in Ohio's 2017 class

Evaluation: The athletically built righty has held down the top spot in the 2017 rankings since they were first released. Brown showcases a fastball that sits in the upper-80s/low-90s that has topped out at 92 mph. The righty throws a hard breaking ball up to 78 mph, with the ability to throw it for a strike.
