Central Coast Section, CA: Spring 2020 is here and as teams get ready for game action to start in the next two weeks, I've been working my lists for under-class (2022/2023) players that could make big jumps in the Spring season. Athleticism, raw tools, and projection are all things I saw when creating this list. Whether you are a scout, recruiter, fan or parent here are twenty uncommitted under-class players to keep an eye on during the 2020 Central Coast Section season.
