On Saturday, March 1st, we hosted our Preseason All-State: Underclass event, perennially our most exclusive and talented event on our winter calendar for rising freshman and sophomores. This past year we saw over 150 of the top players from around the state, giving us one final look before the spring season kicked off.

One bat that just missed the cut but should be followed closely this summer and beyond is Evan Adamczewski (Maine South).

Today, we are continuing our post-event rollout with a look at every single infielder from the day, along with a ranking of who our staff thought showed the best on the day.
