Preseason Rankings Release: 2023 Class
February 22, 2023
As the Winter of 2023 is coming to a close it is time to revisit our player rankings for the 2023 class. After multiple events, and being able to see live game play this winter, the Arizona staff was able to make subtle changes while adding some new additions to the list.
As always the ranking process is a fluid and ongoing process, in which players are evaluated on multiple occasions, whether it be at an event or on the playing field at a local tournament. All players on this Top-100 list are well deserving and have a bright future ahead. The players at the top of the list have separated themselves from the rest, and proven they belong where they will be heading. Most of these prospects are very tough to compare, and through the entire Top-100, the players are merely interchangeable, including some of those that have been left out.
TOP UNCOMMITTED BY POSITION:
RHP: David Gallindo , Payton Pudenz , Hunter Heeringa
LHP: Brock Snow , Gerardo Paco , Ethan Bell
C: Landon Springmeyer , Luke Jones , Lucas Franz
Corner INF: David Bull , Cannon Peery , Tyler Clementz
Middle INF: Miles VandenHuevel , Andrew Grenert , Carlos Valencia
OF: Duce Robinson , Antonio Gianni , CJ Snowden , Juan Carlos Kalemera , Logan Krei , Anthony Diaz , Crew Price , Logan Krei
