Welcome to West Penn Baseball Prospects' new blog. This blog is going to take the place of our newsletters and will give us the ability to report daily on matters of interest to the local baseball community without the space limitations inherent in our "headlines" feature. If there is anything we would like me to address in the blog just drop me a line (wpabaseball@hotmail.com) and I will do my best to subjects of interest.

I'm sure most of the local people have read about the terrible tragedy regarding Sam Bucci, a senior at Seneca Valley, who was headed to California (PA) to play baseball. Sam was killed in a car accident along with two of his friends. Just heart-breaking. Sam was, by all accounts, a great kid and will be missed by all. Our condolences to his family.
