PVI Alums have played at every level of college baseball, competing in some of the top conferences in the nation such as the ACC and the SEC. Several Panther Alums have experienced the thrill of playing in the NCAA Regionals and Super Regionals. Three PVI Alums have been drafted by MLB teams, and eight have become pros. Few other high school programs send so many to college baseball, while seeing some eventually become pros.
PVI Baseball Alumni who have been drafted or played professional baseball:
