The sixth annual VBCA Showcase was held in June 2017. Fifty underclass student-athletes displayed their skills in front of coaches from over 20 collegiate baseball programs at all levels from throughout the Northeast.

Close to 60 former Vermont high school players were represented on 2018 NCAA Division I, II and III, and USCAA four-year baseball rosters. Several earned all-conference honors and participated or will participate with schools advancing to the NCAA Baseball Championship. Nearly all of these student-athletes participated in previous VBCA events.
