UPDATED 2018 OVERALL RANKINGS RELEASED
By Sean Duncan
Executive Director
The Class of 2018 is loaded with high-end talent, and it only got deeper over the course of three-plus months since the last rankings update. Much has changed over the busy winter months. Many new names have emerged as top-level prospects, and scores of players have taken significant leaps forward, all of which is reflected in the updated overall 2018 rankings.
ON THE HUNT: 2018 NATIONAL RANKINGS EDITION
By Shooter Hunt
National Crosschecker
With the spring release of PBR’s 2018 National Rankings, On the Hunt, takes a different approach this week to highlight some of the top players (committed or uncommitted) in the class. While a good number of the players have been committed, and written about in the past, there are some updated notes and new commentary. The uncommitted players, of which there are four, are potential front-end talent who have the ability to bolster a recruiting class, and perhaps lead a school to a championship in the near future.

RECRUITING ESSENTIALS: THE SCIENCE OF SCHOLARSHIP MANAGEMENT
By Brandon Hall
North Carolina Scouting Director
To enter the mind of a college baseball coach is a very dangerous thing. When you step back and look at it, they are making their living, and feeding their families, based on the actions of 18-21 year olds, many of whom are away from home for the first time. No matter the danger, we will wander this path to see if we can enlighten and unlock some of the dark mysteries surrounding their management of a program. The hope is to gain a better understanding of how college coaches are building their rosters year after year, giving players and families a better feel for the recruiting process.
