College coaches all around the country are, still, eagerly searching for talent to add to their 2018 recruiting classes. The PBR staff is constantly being questioned by coaches as to what talent is still available, and which players coaches need to go see. This week, In the Weeds, focuses on the uncommitted, under the radar players from Canada (Ontario specifically) who have a chance to give recruiting classes a late boost before the signing period. Each player has a unique skillset that has either been undervalued or under recruited, but who will be a nice addition. On the list of eight are three pitchers, two athletic infielders, a high-level outfielder, power-hitting first baseman, and a strong catcher.

Over the course of the next few weeks, The Hotlist will examine the top uncommitted 2019 prospects by position. While the speed of recruiting seems to be redlining, there is a ton of talent still available for college programs, not to mention that there is no reason for any players to be wringing their hands over committing just yet. To start the series, we take a look at the available pitchers.
ON THE HUNT: PROJECTABLE & ATHLETIC SHORTSTOPS

@ShooterHunt
Being strong up the middle is what every coach wants their team to be, and having a strong shortstop who can also hit gives a team the chance to be special. In this week’s edition of, On the Hunt, seven shortstops from the 2019-2021 classes take center stage as players to follow, and ones who have a chance to make an impact at the next level whether it be in the field or at the plate. The athleticism and projection of each player stands out, and there is plenty more on the way. States represented are Arizona, Massachusetts, North Carolina, and Texas
