Summer Update: Class of 2021 Rankings


Greg Williams
Pennsylvania Director of Scouting

As members of the  Pennsylvania Class of 2021 begin their summer schedules and prepare for their sophomore year of high school baseball our latest update to our state rankings includes the addition of 10 new players to the list with two new players moving into the top ten. The current list now stands at 20 players with four of the top eight having already announced a college commitment. Look for that number to grow significantly by the next update to the rankings in this class in September. An update to the current PBR Class of 2021 overall rankings will follow in the near future.

Holding steady at the top of the list are a pair of physical two-way prospects that excelled in their rookie seasons of high school competition. LHP/1B Cole Wagner (Red Land), a Georgia commit, went 2-1 with a 3.00 ERA striking out 68 in 39.1 innings of work as a freshman. The 6-foot, 190-pound left-handed hitter finished the season with a .487 batting average while showing advanced power with 10 doubles, four triples and two home runs. RHP/SS Nick Bitsko (Central Bucks East), a Virginia commit, went 1-0 with a 1.50 ERA striking out 22 in just 9.1 innings of work as a freshman. The right-handed hitter 6-foot-3, 195-pound right-handed hitter finished the season with a .352 average and showed power potential of his own with four doubles and four home runs.

New to the top ten in this update are RHP Michael Morales (East Pennsboro), a Vanderbilt commit, and LHP Jayden Walker (Norwin HS).
