November 30, 2019

PBR Staff

We're nearing the end of 2019, but there are no signs of slowing down when it comes to news and action while scanning the national landscape. In the month of November, we announced a big-time addition to the PBR staff, released multiple sets of rankings and continue to finalize the logistics of the newest, state-of-the-art facility -- Creekside Baseball Park. Here is a full recap of November:

 

Cullen McGowan

Earlier this month, we welcomed Cullen McGowan to the Prep Baseball Report team. McGowan comes from TrackMan, where he managed professional and amateur baseball business. His resume is as decorated as they come, with degrees from Columbia University and the University of Arizona. Now Managing Director, McGowan will oversee all business units while shepherding upcoming initiatives. To read the full release, click HERE.

 

PBR Class of 2020 Rankings

We updated the Class of 2020 rankings after the fall showcase season. The fall served as an opportunity to once again get our eyes on the top 2020 prospects around the country, combine knowledge and update the list of 500. New names from outside of our coverage area have been added. Plus, notable changes and movement. To view the full list and story, click HERE.

 

PBR Class of 2022 Rankings

Just before the Thanksgiving holiday, we released the updated Class of 2022 rankings. Ryan Clifford out of North Carolina kept the top spot from last update. Power-arm southpaws were a big headline in the recent release. To read Shooter Hunt's full story and to check the rankings, click HERE.

 

Creekside Baseball Park

The Creekside announcement took place in October. The new, state-of-the-art facility is set to open its doors next spring. The schedule and registration is now LIVE. All tournaments are now open for registration, highlighted by the Kansas City Program Invitational. To view the schedule and register, click HERE.

 

PBR Draft Board

We're just over six months away from the 2020 MLB Draft, which means we're ramping up our coverage of draft prospects. Our 18th annual Super 60 showcase will give us an even better look at some of the best high school prospects, but for now, we use what we've seen throughout the last few years, including all the intel we've gathered from the college side of things and rank the top-200 MLB draft prospects. The PBR Draft Board will be updated throughout the course of the winter and spring. Here's the full story and list.

 

PBR Class of 2023 Rankings

The Class of 2023 has officially been welcomed to the scene with our release of the 2023 overall rankings. The release made a big splash as many were anxiously waiting to see where these freshman would be placed in their first-ever PBR rankings list. Tennessee had itself quite the showing on the list, two-way talent was another highlight and an impressive bunch of left-handed arms led the charge in this group.

 

PBR JUCO Rankings

David Seifert, Phil Kerber and Co. ranked the top-100 JUCO prospects in the country in a three-part release. Starting from 100-51, then 50-11, they ultimately rounded out the final 10 with Luke Little from San Jacinto (TX) taking the top spot. Click HERE to read the release.

 

Miscellaneous

Coffee & Curveballs: Shooter Hunt and Nathan Rode had arguably the busiest month of the year. Five episodes this month covered the 2023 rankings, SEC East, SEC West , ACC Coastal, and ACC Atlantic 2020 recruiting classes.

The Hotlist: Nathan Rode and the PBR staff put together lists of the top 2023's you should know and 2020 multi-sport athletes.
