Ontario Insider: Top Underclass Uncommitted Outfield Prospects

With the Summer season coming to an end and the 2016-2017 high school sports season as well as fall ball getting underway, we would like to take a look at some of the top uncommitted prospects at each position. Over the past month we looked at the top 2017 prospects and as you can see by our 2017 Player Rankings there are numerous talented prospects available.

Today we are starting with the top uncommitted underclass outfield prospects in Ontario. We will look to create a few top uncommitted lists each week and as you can see by our 2018 and 2019 Player Rankings, there are numerous talented prospects available.

Class of 2018

Matt Jenkins, OF, Crescent
Ranked: 8th in Ontario’s 2018 class
Scouting Report: Strong and physical frame at 6-foot-1, 205-pounds. Thick lower half, aggressive hitter while staying balanced through swing, generates good torque and bat speed to contact, uphill finish with gap to gap power. Good routes and actions defensively, arm works with accuracy and carry, solid defender who makes the plays. Average speed that should become quicker as he develops.
College Outlook: Fantastic student, chance to play all three outfield spots as he reads ball well off bat and if he gets quicker centre field could be an option to play as well. Bat will play and contribute, chance to be run producer and is a solid recruit for the right D1 program.
