The Pennsylvania Preseason All-State Showcase will allow 178 talented prospects from three states to display their abilities over two days at the B2B Baseball Academy in Manheim, PA. Among those scheduled to participate, four hail from West Virginia.

C/3B Connor Moffatt (George Washington HS) will participate on both days. The 5-foot-9, 190-pound prospect, ranked No. 20 in the WV Class of 2015, hit .359 with 10 doubles as a sophomore in 2013.

Moffatt will be one of 33 catchers on display on Day Two. The talented backstop will have an opportunity to compare himself alongside the likes of Travis Renner (No. 11 in the WV Class of 2014), Kurt Latocha (No. 8 in the WV Class of 2015, Willie Burger (No. 7 in the PA Class of 2015), Nick Dunn (No. 48 in the PA Class of 2015) and Jonny Smith (No. 63 in the PA Class of 2015).
