PBR Georgia Staff

As we begin to close the book on 2023 and shift our focus to a brand-new year, we continue our tradition of highlighting the Top-25 Most Viewed Profiles for the calendar year. Using Google Analytics, our staff was able to compile a list of the Top-25 prospects whose PBR profile was viewed the most in 2023. Many of the players mentioned on this list produced at a high level at various PBR events over the course of the last 12 months. 

Today we announce #13 and will go all the way to No. 1, which will be announced on December 31st. Coming in at #13 is Harlem High School Infielder, Steven Harshbarger.

Scouting Report

9/09/23

Uncommitted. 6-foot, 185 pounds. Strong, large frame with noticeable athleticism. Narrow stance with a toe tap load. Very patient hitter that gets set quickly and has impressive launch quickness. The point from relaxed to impact is very short, the load can almost be missed and this consistent movement increases energy and momentum to create an explosive but compact swing. Fast twitch fibers and a controlled hand load with impressive hand speed. While I didn’t see him perform as a pitcher, it is important to note that he is an impressive two-way.
