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 #4 and will go all the way to No. 1, which will be announced on December 31st. Coming in at #4 is a OF/SS from Appling County High School who jumped onto the scene in 2023, Nathan Nance.

Scouting Report

9/03/23

Uncommitted. 6-foot-1, 160-pounds. Nance is an athletic player that plays strong defense up the middle of the field. Offensively, he has a strong bat that can hit for contact and power. Nance is able to hit to all parts of the field. He shows great confidence at the plate. He has shown progressions from the beginning of the summer to now. 

6/30/23

Uncommitted. 5-foot-11, 160 pounds. Very athletic, energetic player with lockdown defense, impressive base running, and a quality bat. Athletic, medium build with proportional strength. At the plate, he has a minimal negative move with present bat speed and stays linear through the zone, finds barrels and displays that in his first National Championship game with a double (95 EV) and a triple to deep center. Quick, short swing with good fluidity and delivers barrels to all fields. He has above average speed with a 6.88 60 time and is a smart, aggressive baserunner. Impressive defender with smooth, athletic movement. Can play just about anywhere. Has been putting a show in Georgia this June and will continue to display his skills and abilities.

6/01/23

Uncommitted, 5-foot-11, 160-pounds. Nance is a super athletic shortstop that people are going to start turning their heads for coming out of the ‘25 class. He had an impressive workout at the Georgia Summer open event on wednseday and has had a great start to the PBR Showdown. Nance is a plus runner and is really aggressive on the base paths. He has a quick/short swing at the plate and has power to all parts of the field. Real fluent in his motions. At shortstop he is a lockdown defender. Has great lateral movements and smooth hands. Excited to see his development this summer.
