2019 Alabama Updated State Rankings:

Our 2019 state rankings have been updated and expanded to 75 players. This is a very talented class from top to bottom with 61 players having already signed scholarship papers. Ethan Hearn (C, Mobile Christian, Mississippi State signee) comes in at #1 in the state and #23 nationally. He has advanced catch and throw skills behind the plate and a sweet stroke from the left side. Our #2 player (and ranked #26 nationally) is Gunnar Henderson, a SS from Morgan Academy that is an Auburn signee. His glovework and arm strength are both top shelf to go along with advanced offensive skills from the left side. Our #3 player is another catcher, Nathan LaRue from McGill Toolen HS that signed with Auburn. A physical catcher that does everything well behind the plate, he shows nice juice at the plate. LaRue’s teammate at McGill Toolen, LHP Chandler Best comes in at #4 (#196 nationally) in our state rankings. The University of Southern Mississippi signee has had a phenomenal high school career and looks to build on that in 2019. Our 5th rated player (and ranked #255 nationally) is Northridge HS SS William Hamiter, a University of Alabama signee, that is a pure hitter with an advanced approach and plenty of pull side power from the left side. He may eventually be at 3B at the collegiate level. The rest of the Top 10 is:
