The 2017 spring high school season produced a number of dazzling individual performances across all corners of the country, but 33 athletes in the Prep Baseball Report demographic stood above the rest.  

The Prep Baseball Report boots-on-the-ground staff is constantly at the field scouting and reporting on high school games throughout the spring, and have identified the athletes who have performed at the highest level within their respective state.  

The 2017 Prep Baseball Report State Player of the Year awards include 15 Major League Baseball Draft picks, including the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, Mackenzie Gore from North Carolina.  

The players listed below have stood out against their in-state peers and have been awarded the Prep Baseball Report Player of the Year at the state level. It is important to note that the State Player of the Year honors only the states that our boots-on-the-ground scouting staff are currently in.
