On Monday of this week the 2018 rankings were updated and expanded from 35 to 75. The depth of the 2018 class has strengthened considerably since the last update mainly due to the numerous events over the winter. There are now eight catchers ranked in the sophomore class. The top catcher in the class, Chase Stanke (Marmion), was mentioned in the 2018 rankings story posted earlier this week. Stanke is one of the best left-handed bats in the sophomore class.
The No. 2 catcher in the class is Jordon Rogers (Simeon). Rogers, a 6.78 runner in the 60, is an advanced defender who started behind the plate last year as a freshman for a Simeon team who went 28-4 last year. Rogers is ranked No. 11 ranked sophomore in Illinois.
Below we take a look at the eight catchers who found themselves in the updated 2018 rankings:
