It was a historic preseason here in New York with our boots-on-the-ground scouting staff covering 700+ players at showcase events, all February long. The dust has settled and we are now ramping up our efforts in player rankings, scouting reports, and recap articles. While the outcome of the 2020 HS season is on hold, the Prep Baseball Report (NY) will continue to provide unrivaled coverage for the amateur baseball players in the Empire State.
As we continue our follow up of the Preseason Tour, we will be highlighting "Top Performer Spotlights" on players who recently stood-out at our preseason events. Stay tuned with us for the latest information on the 2020 spring season and beyond.

Quick Hit
"Overall, I like what I see. Peterson showed us a lot of tools defensively and even on the mound. I would like to see him a little more loose at the plate though. Meaning, his lower half to me just looks very stiff while his hands and finish are loose. I want the lower half to mimic the upper and be loose throughout the entire swing. Maybe a little more comfortability is what it is."
