Most Viewed Profiles of 2022: No. 16 Cannon Goldin


Phil Kerber
Georgia Scouting Director

As we begin to close the book on 2022 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 2022. 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.

Starting on December 7th, we began counting down from No. 25 all the way to No. 1, which will be announced on December 31st. Coming in at No. 16 in our countdown of the most viewed profiles of 2022 is the state's No. 1 ranked 2025, OF Cannon Goldin of Buford High School.

Scouting Report

8/29/22
Uncommitted. 6-foot-0, 175-pounds. Holding onto the No. 1 ranking for the 2nd consecutive update is one of the state’s, and country’s, top athletes. The intensity and fearlessness he plays with are on another level. This likely comes from playing football at a young age, and being so strong physically before even filling into his frame. With a 280 power clean, 445 deadlift, and 335 front squat, its one of the strongest baseball players in the country pound for pound. He shows little regard for his body flying into walls in CF, sliding through tags, and shrugging off HBP’s. One of the few players we’ve scouted who never lets off the gas with his effort, and that’s a player you can trust. Goldin is as quick twitch and explosive as they come. Speed and agility are the name of his game. A left-handed hitter, Goldin has exceptional hand-eye coordination, which lends itself to his feel for the barrel. He can fight off pitches, extend at-bats until he gets a pitch he can handle. A line drive hitter with minimal barrel angle, Goldin knows how to play to his strengths. He can spray the ball to all fields. The raw power is there and will continue to come on strong as he fills out his frame. Once in play, he is a human blur. A true plus plus runner now, his ability to impact the game on the bases is elite. The speed also plays in the outfield where he can seemingly cover the entire outfield by himself. With an upper 80’s arm from CF and plus range at such a young age, Goldin has potential to be an elite defender with an A/AVG bat. We will be surprised if anyone matches his stolen base numbers the next 3 springs.

Goldin put his elite athleticism on display. In less than ideal conditions, Goldin still ran an event leading 6.71 60 yard dash. A quick twitch, left-handed hitter, the speedy center fielder has all the makings of a future lead off man.

12/01/21
A South Carolina recruit, Goldin is an elite athlete in this class. A top-of-the-order, left-handed hitter, he possesses ultra-quick hands and the barrel control to pepper the entire field with line drives. The maturity he approaches at-bats with is beyond his age. Goldin is never out of an at-bat and he has a consistency about him that sets him apart. Once on base, the speed is obvious. Goldin can fly around the bases and has the instincts to put pressure on the defense at all things. The speed and instincts translate to the outfield, where Goldin can track the ball down with the best.
