Top Uncommitted 2019 Arms/Position Prospects

With a number of top 2019 grads already committed heading into the season, there are still many uncommitted athletes coming out of BC that remains confusing that they have not signed yet. Coaches and scouts need to take the time to garner a closer look at these Top 2019 Uncommitted BC Arms and Bats.

All these guys are playing for top programs in the BC premier league which year after year houses some of the top talent Canada has to offer. All are expected to be relied upon by their respective programs to be huge contributors this season and don’t expect them to be hanging around the uncommitted lists for very long.

Had a good line in 2018 hitting .323/.424/.405 with more BB then Ks.
