2019 THE UNCOMMITTED SHOWCASE
NOV. 23-24 | FITTEAM BALLPARK OF THE PALM BEACHES | WEST PALM BEACH, FL
West Palm Beach, FL— PT Events held its annual The Uncommitted Showcase on the weekend of November 23-24 at the FITTEAM Ballpark of The Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, Florida.The PT Events have earned a reputation as one of the best in the state.
Twenty-six coaches and scouts were on hand to evaluate the 109 high school players from Florida and Puerto Rico. Student-athletes were divided into eight teams and showcased their skills in different areas of the game.
“Those were two great days of a lot of action in which participants interacted with the coaches and learn from them and scouts. PT did it again,” said PT General Manager Richie Lugo.
“We are extremely satisfied with the results of the showcase: many players received offers from the coaches who attended. That’s what it’s all about, providing a platform in which all student-athletes have a wide opportunity to show their skills,” Lugo added.
On day 1, the participants went through an in-depth workout to showcase their speed, arm strength, fielding mechanics, bat speed and hitting mechanics. Pitchers showcased their pitching velocities, breaking pitches and pitching mechanics.
On day 2, the showcase concluded with eight games – two per team, at fields 5 and 6 of the Houston Astros complex.
