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
"Standout behind the dish and such a young player. Plenty of room to develop his skills both defensively and offensively. Long bat path but his quick hands and ability to whip the barrelhead through the zone help make up for it. Raw power to pull side gap and a lot of it. Fielding footwork seems a little slow to, but has a sound glove to be a possible corner infield."
