MIAMI (Oct. 17, 2018) – Under almost ideal conditions at Infinity Insurance Park, the FIU baseball team hosted over 70 professional scouts for Scout Day 2018.

"I thought it went really well. I thought our guys showcased their abilities in front of a lot of scouts." head coach Mervyl Melendez said. "They showcased themselves like true professionals."
 
Led by 2018 Cape Cod League Championship Series MVP Austin Shenton, FIU returns 26 players from a team that went 26-28 in the spring. A new season brings a Top-25 recruiting class as well, as the Panthers look to return to postseason play for the first time since 2015.
 
"We have been working toward this since the beginning of the fall. Obviously, we are trying to get better as a team, but also trying to propel ourselves to play at the professional level," Shenton said of Wednesday's Scout Day. "When everybody is out here it is a fun environment."
