As the 2021 calendar turns to March and the high school season looks to be in full gear soon, PBR NC has updated its 2022 Class Rankings. PBR was able to run several events and scout days throughout the fall along with game coverage and the use of live streams to keep track of players across the state. The events and scout days allowed the PBR Staff to identify new players and continue to evaluate prospects already on the radar. The updated rankings expand to the Top 250 in NC. 

Ryan Clifford (OF, Pro5) remains the No. 1 ranked player in NC, while ranking  No. 6 Nationally. A nationally known name that continues to hit in front of PBR scouts.
