Jackson Sanders LHP / Valley , AL / 2024

A 6-2, 170-pound southpaw who has already shown the ability to throw the fastball up to 90 mph this spring as the ace for 6A Valley HS, Sanders exudes projection with elite competitiveness. Fills up the zone with an 87-88 mph heater that flashes occasional cut and a sharp, 1/7 breaking ball to compliment. Also an exceptional athlete, Sanders projects well and is regarded as the top left-handed pitcher in the country.

Commitment: Auburn

Henry Allen 3B / 1B / Auburn , AL / 2024

Allen attended his first PBR event this January before the high school season at the Preseason All-State event, and it wasn't hard to tell that the 6-1, 185-pound third baseman could swing it. Played mostly on Auburn HS's JV team through the regular season, but made the most of his opportunity when he was inserted in the 3-hole in the Elite 8 of the Class 7A Playoffs. Recorded multiple big hits for the Tigers, en route to a Class 7A State Championship in 2021.

Commitment: Mississippi State

Tanner Waldrop 3B / SS / Auburn , AL / 2024

Waldrop was on Team Alabama at last summer's PBR Junior Future Games, and his performance there, combined with the tools, showed why he is currently ranked at No. 3 in this update. 6-0, 175-pound frame with more physical maturity coming in the future, but the actions and movements are there for the left-handed hitting third baseman. Level bat plane that continuously made solid contact during gameplay for Team Alabama and produced a 94 mph EV. 

Christian Chatterton RHP / SS / Brooks, AL / 2024

Bursted onto the scene with an electric bullpen at this January's Preseason All-State event with a fastball that worked up to 88 mph. Showed feel for spin on a power breaking ball at 72-74 mph with spin up into the 2700 rpm's. Tossed a complete game, no-hitter for his high school team this year, and will be fun to see the progress and strides he continues to make over the next few years.

Commitment: Auburn

Bailey Thorne 3B / RHP / Russell County, AL / 2024

Thorne started off the spring hot with the bat, hitting in the middle of the order for his high school team. Physical 5-10, 175-pound hitter with broad shoulders and electric bat speed allows him to hit for power at such a young age. Has shown this spring that he can handle an elite caliber of arms with ease. Tons of strength packed into the frame, which should bode well for more power down the road.
