As we prepare for the most important summer of all time for amateur baseball, PBR MO takes a deeper look into the latest 180 player rankings release for the 2021 class. If you missed the release story for the class, you can find it here. Today, we will highlight the top 11 uncommitted catchers in the state according to the rankings. We couldn't stop at 10 with the backstop depth in this class. This group is headlined by some strong arm and big bats.
