As we are beginning to wrap up 2023 and gear up for the 2024 Preseason, our Prep Baseball Colorado Staff has gathered all the numbers and data from our successful event schedule in 2023 and compiled them into overall leaderboards to highlight the top statistical performances of the year. These standout lists are loaded with prospects, both committed and uncommitted, that are heading into their spring campaigns looking to continue their standout performances from 2023 into the 2024 High School Season.
Today, we continue our 2023 Rewind feature of the top statistical performances from 2023 with the Catcher Pop-Times, led by Dalton Yaste (2024, Western Nebraska CC), Nate Glad (2025, Uncommitted) and Kade Ortiz (2026, Uncommitted).
