PBR Nebraska Year in Review - College Commitments
December 7, 2020
Year five is in the books for Prep Baseball Report in Nebraska. We followed the high school season throughout a year that we couldn't have predicted. We held multiple events, scout days and attended a dizzying amount of baseball games during the shorten season. We've proved again to be the #1 resource for high school baseball in the state of Nebraska.
With the New Year approaching, we decided to take a look back through the college commitments made by prospects across the state.
The 2021 class currently has 91 commits. Fourteen of these commitments are to Division-1 programs, 10 are committed to Division-2, 47 are committed to Junior Colleges and 20 are committed to NAIA or Division-3 programs. There are still very strong prospects available including Max Sanders, Trevor Winterstein, Ryan Gouldin, Jacob Oehm, etc.
