San Diego Swing: 25 Uncommitted Players to Watch


Jack Shannon
San Diego Area Scout



San Diego, CA - With the San Diego Section season just around the corner it’s time to take a look at twenty-five uncommits chomping at the bit for college recruitment. Young arms and bats, 2020’s a breakout season away and a few that have fallen through the cracks highlight this list. Athleticism, raw tools, live arms and projection are all things I saw when creating this list. Whether you are a scout, recruiter, fan or parent here are twenty-five uncommitted players to keep an eye on during the 2020 season.
