Chris Fuller
Kentucky Director of Scouting

After a number of summer and fall events afforded our staff the opportunity to see a large number of new players in the 2024 class, as well as a number of players who have made significant developments and improvements in their game, we release our updated and expanded rankings in the sophomore class.

As always, when ranking young players, these rankings continue to evolve over the next few years as player development continues. For now, we have ranked out top 130 players from the class.

SS/RHP Jake Schweitzer sits at the top of the class. Schweitzer committed to Louisville following the PBR Future Games and features big two-way ability. He has big power in the bat to go along with advanced defensive actions at SS with plenty of arm to stay there. On the mound he features a fastball that currently sits in the high-80’s and a high-spin slider that produces a lot of swing and miss.

LHP Leighton Harris occupies the No. 2 spot. The 6-foot-3, 195 pound lefty pitched well at the PBR Future Games as a member of Team Kentucky.
