2025 Uncommitted Spotlight: LHP Payton Hunsaker
September 5, 2024
With the summer coming to a close and we begin to transition to the fall with a brand-new school year, our focus is still on uncommitted prospects in the Classes of 2025 and 2026. As these prospects enter their final two years of high school, there are still many talented upperclassmen still on the market that may have been "overlooked" or are currently "flying under the radar" and looking for a place to play at the next level.
Continuing the Uncommitted Spotlight series , we continue to take a look and spotlight an uncommitted prospect every Tuesday and Thursday. Be sure to click the Uncommitted Spotlight tab on the menu tab to see previous spotlights as we move throughout the fall.
