THE BUZZ: TRISTON CASAS TO RECLASSIFY TO 2018 CLASS
By Nathan Rode and PBR Staff
Atop the 2018 Overall Rankings is OF Jarred Kelenic (Waukesha West HS, WI) and prospects like SS Brice Turang (Santiago HS, CA) and RHP Kumar Rocker (North Oconee HS, GA) will be in contention for the top spot of the 2018 PBR Draft 100. It’s a strong class already, but just added a little bit of pop. 1B Triston Casas (American Heritage HS, FL) told Baseball America this week that he intends to reclassify and move his clock forward a year. The Miami recruit starred for Team USA’s 18U squad in the fall, winning a gold medal, and shows big time power to go with a feel for hitting.

This week, On the Hunt, takes a look at some of the standout sophomores and juniors from the event. Included in the group of nine players are some front end power arms, two-way prospects, and sweet swinging athletes. Three are making a return appearance to On the Hunt, and have some updated notes about them.
