Now that the 2016 rankings have been revamped, it’s on to the 2017 class. Little has changed with this group since the PBR Future Games however some have raised their stock this fall and we’ve come across new prospects in the process.

The top 10 saw very little changes outside of putting college commitments next to their name. All of the top five are now verbally committed, as pitchers Nathan Burns (West Bend West), Jacob Lindemann (Burlington), Ben Dragani (Catholic Memorial), and Troy Hickey (Wilmot) named their schools in the last six weeks or so.

RANK	NAME	STATE	SCHOOL	CLASS	POS	COMMITMENT
1	Augie Mihlbauer	WI	Mukwonago	2017	LHP	Texas Christian
2	Nathan Burns	WI	West Bend West	2017	RHP	Oregon State
3	Jacob Lindemann	WI	Burlington	2017	RHP	Wichita State
4	Ben Dragani	WI	Catholic Memorial	2017	LHP	Michigan
5	Troy Hickey	WI	Wilmot Union	2017	LHP	Oklahoma State
6	Jack Blomgren	WI	Janesville Craig	2017	SS
7	Zach Clayton	WI	Oconomowoc	2017	SS	Oregon State
8	Griffin Doersching	WI	Greendale	2017	1B
9	Ryan Bader	WI	Mukwonago	2017	LHP
10	Trevor Olson	WI	Chippewa Falls	2017	LHP

This go around the rankings have been expanded from 75 to 85 as we’ve come across a few new prospects along the way. 10 names were added to the rankings led by southpaw John Vanderploeg (Sheboygan Falls), a 6-foot-2 lefty with an 82-84 mph fastball. We’ll touch more on the new additions later this week.

Now that the state rankings are being updated across our coverage area, look for the 2017 overall rankings to be updated soon to see how well this class fairs in the overall landscape.
