In three years of the USA Baseball National High School Invitational, scouts have showed up en masse to see the top draft prospects in attendance. At least a half-dozen have been high on follow lists heading into the event and each year a player has popped up on the proverbial radars. In 2014, that player was arguably SS Max George (Regis Jesuit HS, CO).

Don’t let his undersized listing of 5-foot-10, 170 pounds fool you. George is put together with strength in his frame and showed it in the Raiders’ four games, going 9-for-15 (.600) with two doubles, three RBIs and one run scored while hitting third in the lineup against premium competition. He made consistent, hard contact at the event while showing solid defensive skills up the middle.
