Pair of West Virginia Prospects to Represent Team PBR
July 30, 2016
By Greg Williams
Pennsylvania / West Virginia Director of Scouting
Schedules for the inaugural Pennsylvania Travel Baseball State Championships have been released and first pitch is just three weeks away. The field consists of 12 teams from Pennsylvania, two teams from New York, a team from Maryland and one team yet to be announced. Teams interested in filling the final opening in the 16 team field should contact Pennsylvania Director of Scouting Greg Williams.
Iron Horse Sports Complex in Winber will play host to the three day event with teams playing three pool play games a piece on Friday and Saturday followed by bracketed playoff play on Sunday.
The rosters for a pair of select rosters that will represent Prep Baseball Report in the tournament field have been announced and two players from West Virginia highlight the roster of Team PBR White. Bridgeport 2017 C/3B Drew Hefner and Morgantown 2017 OF/LHP Zane Gallagher were both selected for participation following standout performances at the Western PA Top Prospect Games earlier this summer.
Over the coming weeks look for team by team previews along with an in-depth look at some of the top prospects on each of the 16 rosters.
