Updated 2020 Rankings
December 14, 2017
With the Christmas season approaching, it is time to release the updated 2020 state rankings!
This has been a long process in developing these rankings, including being out a lot in the fall, reaching out to a number of coaches and watching video on every single player in these rankings (and outside of these rankings) while compiling internal evaluations.
These rankings have been expanded to a top 70 and includes 31 players entering their first state ranking, led by # 11 overall OF/LHP Elijah Williams from Spring Hill.
Stay tuned for more ranking specific news stories featuring uncommitted players into the winter season!
