Logan Nelson
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 #7 and will go all the way to No. 1, which will be announced on December 31st. Coming in at #7 is 2023 Future Games catcher, and Kennesaw State commit, Michael Hunter Stonecipher.
