As we lead up to our end of year update, our staff hints at impending moves with the release of our position rankings for each position in the class as our board stands at the conclusion of the fall. We remain excited about this class, with some of the largest contigent of high-end depth that we've seen a class boast on both sides of the ball at this age.

We began with our top ten corner infielders in the sophomore class, found here.

We pick back up with our top 15 outfielders in the class, the deepest position player group we have to my evaluations. This group includes four nationally ranked players, with several more on their heels that we remain excited about.

Big strength in the 5-foot-11, 200-pound frame that translates to triple digit showcase exits. Our staff saw him hit throughout the circuit with a more pull-side approach deployed from a rotational stroke. Easy average to better footspeed. Profiles as a power hitting corner OF with a chance to run, while defensive refinements could polish the abilities behind the dish to give him a chance there. + Key Metrics: 100.6 mph peak exit velocity, 7.17 60-yard dash, 83 mph outfield arm.
