Nevada 2024 Class Rankings - Update
November 16, 2023
With the 2023 Fall Season wrapping up and now, we updated our Class of 2024 Rankings and expand our roster to 75 prospects. As the build-up for the High School Season is in full swing, we highlight some new names earning their spot in the Top 10 as well as the top Uncommitted prospects by position.
As always, the evaluation process is a fluid and ongoing process with multiple viewings in order to get the best feel for players abilities. It’s important to note that as players continue their development some show marked improvement at a much more rapid pace. That doesn’t indicate that other players got worse or went backwards, it’s just how player development works. As the year unfolds, players make improvements and new prospects pop up on the radar expanding the Prep Baseball Rankings universe. In addition to the evaluations of players, our scouts, both those in Nevada, regionally and nationally, have also had multiple discussions with each other to review our individual lists and then make adjustments based on what we've each seen.
