The state of Michigan is filled with high-level baseball prospects throughout each corner of the state. The 2018 class has commitments all across the United States, from Vanderbilt to Miami to Kentucky to Missouri to Nebraska and many more colleges across the U.S. When looking at the 2018 rankings, you will see plenty of Michigan colleges littered throughout all of the commitments as well.

The 2019, 2020 and 2021 classes are also loaded and primed to make some big-time commitments to colleges all across the nation over the next few years. We at PBR Michigan look to bring you insightful information on these big-time commits as well as giving everyone a look at some of the top uncommitted prospects available as well.

Uncommitted Spotlight: Hard Work Always The Focus For Visscher

Jacob Visscher LHP / 1B / Hamilton, MI / 2019

HAMILTON - The possibility of playing baseball in college has never been a major concern for Jacob Visscher.

“I’ve always had that dream of playing at the next level since I can remember,” Visscher explained. “But there was never a point that I can think of that I realized it might happen. I’ve just listened to what my family has always said - work hard at everything you do. That mentality has worked out. It’s all about doing your full effort and even seek out ways to get extra work in if that’s what it takes to improve.”

The Hamilton junior has done quite well with the ‘family plan’ of hard work and colleges have taken notice.

“I’ve visited Western Michigan and been talking to them quite a bit,” the 6-2 180-pound left-handed pitcher said. “I’ve also talked a little bit with Michigan State and they’re coming to see me this spring.”

A month ago, Visscher received his first college offer, with Indiana Wesleyan reaching out to the 78th-rated player in Michigan’s 2019 class.
