Co-Director of Scouting
The first ever Prep Baseball Report rankings for New England have been released for the class of 2016. After watching many talented players throughout the past 10 months, we have ranked the top 150 in all six states combined. As time passes and players mature and improve, these rankings can change. Below you can find about the top 5 players, the top player in each state and unsigned sleepers.
Below, we will take a look at the “top of the class” the “newcomers” the “biggest risers” and the top uncommitted players at their respected position.
TOP OF THE CLASS
Holden White, Kingswood Oxford School, West Hartford, CT, sits at the top of the board. The 6-foot-3,180 pound, left-handed pitcher, has an athletic body with tons of room to put weight on. Throws from a natural ¾ slot. The arm path is clean, free and easy. Fastball sits 87-90 and has touched 91 at times with late arm-side run when he stays on time with his delivery. Changeup is a plus pitch with proper spin to it, while using the same arm speed as fastball. The change was 78-80 mph. This southpaw is headed to Wake Forest.
