DAYTON, Ohio - The 2024 Dragons High School Baseball Showcase at Day Air Ballpark in the heart of the Water Street District commences this evening when Eastern Cincinnati Conference heavyweights Kings and Lebanon square off at 6 pm.

This year's Dragons High School Baseball Showcase is presented by the Bob Ross Auto Group.

Lebanon reached the OHSAA Regional Finals and claimed a share of the conference title in 2023, while Kings placed third in the ECC standings last season. The schools contributed a combined eight players to the ECC All-First Team in 2023.

According to Eddie Meyers of the Starting 937 baseball podcast, a player to watch in the matchup is Lebanon right-handed pitcher and infielder Grant Keffaber. A Kent State commit, Keffaber was named to the ECC All-Conference Honorable Mention list last season.

All games in the Dragons High School Baseball Showcase are open to the public. Gates will open 30 minutes prior to the first game of the day. High schools may provide their own PA announcers, broadcasters, cheer squads, and national anthem singers. Participating schools sell Dragons tickets to help raise money for their programs. The Dragons have been hosting the Miami Valley's best high school baseball teams since 2006.

Later this week in the Dragons High School Baseball Showcase, Lima Perry faces Allen East at 5 pm on Friday, followed by Tippecanoe and Bethel at 8 pm. A doubleheader on Saturday puts Upper Scioto Valley against Waynesfield-Goshen at 3 pm, with National Trail taking on Brookville at 6 pm.
