Prep Baseball Report

Class of 2024 Rankings Update


PBR California Staff

   

LOS ANGELES, CALIF.  With another full and busy fall seeing our staff running multiple events and attending even more fall ball games, we were able to see many players in Prep Baseball tournaments, showcases, game-play events, workouts and more giving us a deeper feel for the Class of 2024 in California.  As a result of all the visibility to players in the last couple of months we have updated our Class of 2024 Player Rankings.   

With some modest changes coming in the Top 10 and beyond, we have expanded the rankings from 450 to 480 players to better encompass the depth of the class. Some players are on a very fast rise up the rankings after putting together outstanding summer seasons and look to carry that into the fall and beyond.

This class is now less than a year away from any MLB Draft consideration, and while several players are already firmly entrenched in that discussion for scouts, some new faces are beginning to make themselves known. 

Below you'll find the Top 10, Top 10 Uncommitted Players, along with notes/video on several Rankings Risers.
