Norcal Notes: Nine to Know (2024)

April 7, 2022
Blaine
Northern California Director

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA - The 2022 season is in full swing, which means we've been out all around the state scouting this spring. Here are nine sophomores (2024 grads) who have drawn my interest. Click on the names to take you to the player's profile link that highlights the best of their stats, including running, throwing, Blast, TrackMan, traditional and more advanced metrics (for those we've had at events). Present rankings organized prior to seeing some of these players, otherwise there is a good chance each would be in the 2024 state rankings.
