(Harrisburg, PA) -- The Big 26 Baseball Classic® today announced the final roster for Team Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania hosts Maryland in the annual high school baseball all-star event played at FNB Field. This year’s Classic is set for July 14-17 in Harrisburg.
Teams compete in a scouted 3-game series and participate in a pro-style workout for college coaches. Most Big 26 athletes go on to play at the college level, and we're proud to offer an opportunity for recruiters to watch all-star baseball in Harrisburg!
In addition to the competition, the event also features a Buddy Program and Challenger Game that pairs each Big 26 athlete with a child, teen, or young adult (age 5-21) with special needs. Buddies are included in pre-game player introductions and participate in the Challenger Game. Buddy-player friendships forged on the field add up to much more than balls and strikes.
More than 100 players from across Pennsylvania competed for 26 roster spots. Three 2021 Big 26 Pennsylvania alums are on the 2022 roster. (Noted below.) The overall series record is 5-3 in PA’s favor, with PA looking to defend its 2021 win. The roster breakdown is 6 pitchers, 3 catchers, 6 outfielders, 8 infielders and 3 dual position players. Ticket information will be available soon. Event information can be found at www.big26.com.
