Winter kicks into high gear with two College Prospect Showcases over the next two weekends at Keystone State Baseball Academy. Following is a preview of each weekend and a revised schedule for both dates. Current rosters will continue to be updated until registration deadlines for both events.

11:00am - 11:30am Stretching / 60 Yard Dash

1:15pm - 2:00pm Bullpen Sessions
College Prospect Showcase (Session 1)
Among those on the roster, OF James Gabor (William Penn Charter) is likely to impress. Gabor flashed above average foot speed (6.82) and quick hands from the left side of the plate during the Fall College Prospect Program. Gabor is currently ranked No. 57 in the PA Class of 2017.
RHP/OF Joe Mione is also a prospect to watch. The righty sits in the low-to-mid 80s with command of a four pitch mix. Mione is currently ranked No. 101 in the PA Class of 2016.
College Prospect Showcase (Session 2)
Catcher Ryan Guckin heads the roster for Session 2. The 5-foot-10, 185-pound junior is the highest ranked uncommitted backstop in his class. Currently ranked No. 35 in the PA Class of 2016, Guckin has flashed solid barrel whip and above average arm strength at previous PBR events.
Scouts will likely also want to keep an eye on Tim Miller. The Conestoga junior has a very projectable frame at 6-foot-2, 185-pound RHP/SS. He comes off a solid summer and fall travel season and will look to help Conestoga (last year's Class 4A runner-up) in making another run at a state title in 2015.
