 On Wednesday, Prep Baseball Report Louisiana looked ahead to the 2018 class. Yesterday, as well as today, PBR Louisiana took a step back and looked at some top 2016 prospects that remain on the market.

With only 14 players off of PBR Louisiana’s top 45 list for the class of 2016, these next few months could see plenty of action with players coming off the board.

Lets take a look at three players that have caught the eye of the PBR Scouting Staff recently.

Available 2016s

+ Johnny Johnson, INF, Runnels HS(2016)
A 5-foot-10, 160-pound infielder with a compact, strong frame and fast twitch actions. Quality overall athlete that runs the 60 yard dash in 6.7 seconds. Quality defender with arm strength, soft hands, and solid overall athleticism. Right-handed hitter with short, compact stroke, quality path with surprising strength at contact. Advanced hitter that consistently makes hard contact and shows feel for timing and pitch recognition.
