Updated and Expanded Class of 2015 Rankings
November 26, 2013
By Chris Valentine and PBR Ohio Staff
The top ten rankings remains steady at the top, but there is a shake up in the back half of the top ten and a number of new prospects that have entered the top 150.
Canton South outfielder DJ Wilson (Vanderbilt recruit) continues to hold on to the top spot. But, he is being chased by a trio of pitchers for the state's top ranking.
Watkins Memorial right-handed pitcher Chandler Day (Vanderbilt recruit) follows at No. 2 while Bloom Carroll right-handed pitcher Sam Bordner (Louisville recruit) follows close behind. Bordner, a 6-foot-6, 220-pound prospect, capitalized on a strong fall and should continue to push for a higher ranking heading into next spring.
Meanwhile, Medina right-handed pitcher Austin Havekost is now the state's top uncommitted prospect in the Class of 2015. This fall, the big righty reached into the low 90's during multiple appearances at tournaments in Florida.
Sandusky Perkins southpaw Braun Miller rose nearly thirty spots to No. 5 after a strong fall campaign. The 6-foot-4, 175-pound prospect has positioned himself as the top left-handed pitcher in his class with an easy mid to upper 80's along with a promising slider.
Mason's Rodney Hutchison follows at No. 6. With a collecting of big offers from programs such as UNC, OSU, Miami, Kent State, UC, and more, Hutchison is finding his services in high demand. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound prospect likely projects as a pitcher at the next level, but he also shows potential with the bat as well.
Walsh Jesuit righty Ryan Feltner (Ohio State recruit) follows at No. 7 while Olentangy Liberty C/IF Cam Comer (Virginia recruit) enters the top ten at No. 8.
The top ten is rounded out by a pair of pitchers. Moeller righty Joe Vranesic, who has been up to 90, sits at No. 9 while Notre Dame Cathedral Latin southpaw Ryan Falls, a 6-foot-5, 190-pound prospect, follows at No. 10.
Other notable risers and new entrants into the top 150 rankings include Roger Danison, Brad Wilson, Conner Thomson, Evan Lee, Chris Sparks, Jordan Ramey, Ryan Fournier, Brent Solinger, and more.
