LOS ANGELES, CALIF. - With the high school season about half done throughout the state we thought it an apt time to take a look at some uncommitted players in the 2022 class that are having strong spring seasons. These players have shown our staff they have the goods to play baseball beyond high school at some level.
Whether it has been at a PBR event or while playing with their high school teams, these 10 players have shown enough to our team of scouts for them to feel strong enough about their abilities as they head towards college.
