The Five: Top Uncommitted 2020 Prospects
May 14, 2020
Uncommitted prospects still populate the 2020 PBR Player Rankings and today we breakdown The Five top prospects still on the board. As schools begin to sort out their roster situations following the NCAA and NJCAA's ruling to allow an extra year of eligibility to all collegiate baseball players, we are seeing an uptick in commits over the past few weeks with rosters being finalized for the upcoming season. These five prospects project to be the next few off the board and it would be to no surprise if in the coming days you see one or multiple players making their decisions on where they want to play the collegiate baseball.
The group is lead off by Bishop Gorman southpaw, Noah Glaser, who was the top left-hander at the Uncommitted Upperclass showcase last November with a mid 80's fastball with life and feel for his secondary pitches. Benjamin Holzem is the top remaining catcher on the board, possesses the tools and instincts to manage a pitching staff at the next level. Two-way Bishop Manogue product, Jack Weise, is true competitor that could get it done on the mound and in the field with power potential in the bat. Zach Foster out of McQueen is a 6-foot-3, 185 pound athletic, two sport athlete that was off to a hot start, hitting .455 in the shortened 7 game season. Shelby Richards is a lean, athletic middle infielder with clean actions at a premium position, hitting .408 during his sophomore year at Rancho.
