LOS ANGELES, CALIF. With another full and busy fall seeing our staff running multiple events and attending even more fall ball games, we were able to see many players in Prep Baseball tournaments, showcases, game-play events, workouts and more giving us a deeper feel for the Class of 2025 in California. As a result of all the visibility to players in the last couple of months we have updated our Class of 2025 Player Rankings.
With some modest changes coming in the Top 10 and beyond, we have expanded the rankings to include 325 players to better encompass the depth of the class. Some players are on a very fast rise up the rankings after putting together outstanding fall seasons and look to carry that into next spring's high school season.
This class is now less than two years away from any MLB Draft consideration, and while several players are already firmly entrenched in the minds of scouts, some new faces are beginning to make themselves known.
Below you'll find the Top 10, Top 10 Uncommitted Players, along with notes/video on several Rankings Risers.
