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.

Currently the No. 2 prospect in the 2019 Overall Rankings, Casas will surely be in the mix for a high spot in 2018. Scouts will have plenty of time to get acquainted with Casas, but they’ll get an early look this spring as they venture out to see SS Mark Vientos, who transferred to American Heritage in the fall.
