Biggest Movers:

OF Jake McCarthy, Scranton HS

McCarthy, a Virginia commit, moves into the Top 10 following a WWBA 17U All-Tournament performance. The 6-foot-2, 185-pound prospect went 5-for-14 with a home run and three RBI on the week. McCarthy's brother Joe was recently selected ACC Freshman of the Year after hitting .333 for Virginia this spring. 

RHP/3B Ben Dum, West Perry HS

Dum moves up five spots to No. 13 after strong performances at the Big 26 Classic and the Midwest Future Games. The 6-foot, 175-pound prospect worked six scoreless innings over the course of the two events and effectively mixed his 83-85 mph 3/4 arm slot fastball with his 70 mph curveball, 73 mph slider and his 69 mph changeup. Dum also impressed with his glove work and solid arm at 3B.

SS/RHP Chris Rabasco, Parkland HS

Rabasco, a solidly built 5-foot-11, 180-pound prospect demonstrated his arm strength at the PA Underclass Games and at the Midwest Future Games topping at 88 mph from the mound and showcasing 88 mph throws across the diamond in defensive workouts. Rabasco is likely to play 3B at the next level and demonstrated the ability to be a productive hitter at the next level going 4-for-7 in game play at the MWFG. Rabasco jumps three spots to No. 17.
