The Fall College Prospect Program made stops at 10 colleges in Pennsylvania over the span of five weekends before making its one and only appearance in West Virginia at Alderson Broaddus University. Following is a breakdown of the infielders and outfielders that participated.

LHP/OF Luciano Besh, Franklin Regional HS, Class of 2016

Besh is a 5-foot-10, 160-pound prospect that exhibited athletic actions in the outfield with good carry to throws of 81 mph. He hits from the right side of the plate with a square stance, a solid lower half and very quick hands. He barreled the baseball repeatedly and showed the ability to use all fields with a bat exit velocity of 78 mph. Besh went 1-for-5 at the plate in game action.

1B Zach Craven, McKeesport HS, Class of 2014

Craven is a 6-foot-3, 185-pound uncommitted senior that showcased a soft glove hand and good mobility around the bag at 1B with throws of 78 mph across the diamond. The right-handed hitter displayed an 82 mph bat exit velocity and the ability to barrel the baseball consistently in batting practice. Craven continued his strong showing this fall at the plate going 2-for-4 in game action.

SS/OF Seth Magee, Seneca HS, Class of 2014

Magee is a 5-foot-10, 155-pound uncommitted senior that showcased athletic actions and a quick release on throws of 71 mph across the diamond. The right-handed hitter hits from a square stance with a flat bat path through the hitting zone. Magee displayed the ability to barrel the baseball regularly and used all fields in his round of batting practice. He went 1-for-4 in game action while squaring the baseball in three of his at bats.

2B/3B Domic Peroni, Laurel Highlands HS, Class of 2016

Peroni showed well in all facets of the game. The 6-foot, 155-pound infielder utilized a square stance along with a lift and replace stride foot to barrel the baseball consistently during batting practice. Peroni displayed a flat bat path through the hitting zone and the ability to use all fields with a bat exit velocity of 79 mph. He went 1-for-3 at the plate in game action. Peroni showcased athletic actions in the infield with fundamental actions and a 76 mph throwing arm.

SS Matt Tarabek, Hempfield Area HS, Class of 2016

Tarabek is a 5-foot-11, 165-pound middle infielder that showed advanced defensive skills with quick feet and throws of 81 mph across the diamond. He displayed the ability to make plays on the move and a fluid transfer. The right-handed hitter showcased excellent rhythm to his swing and the ability to barrel the baseball routinely with a bat exit velocity of 83 mph. Tarabek, currently ranked No. 12 in the PA Class of 2016, has an athletic frame and should develop some additional pop as his frame fills out.

2B/SS Ted Williams, Meadville HS, Class of 2014

Williams, a Millersville University commit, showcased the top infield arm at the event with throws of 84 mph across the diamond. The 5-foot-9, 145-pound middle infielder finished a strong fall at the plate going 2-for-5 in game action with a double and two RBI.
