Inside the Rankings is a unique look through the eyes of Prep Baseball scouts, allowing players, fans, and coaches to get to know some of the top players in the state of North Carolina.  Rankings in the state are updated almost quarterly, as players are transitioning from one season to another.  Prep Baseball scouts will use the information they gain from Prep Baseball events, Prep Baseball Tournaments, game coverage, workouts, and practices to put grades on as many players in the state as possible.  With over 400 players in each graduating class committing to play college baseball from North Carolina, over the past 7 years, this is a state with a ton of talent.

Scouting Report

Physical RHH 1B from Providence HS. Big leg kick with plus bat speed helps generate exit velos in the upper 90's . Pull side approach with power to the pull side. A good first step with a 1.68 10 yard split. Nimble with soft hands around the bag.
