With the start of the fall signing period upon us, Brent Alwine, the director of scouting for PBR Michigan, breaks down the top recruiting classes based on in-state prospects. Beyond the surface, we drill down deeper into immediate impact players, sleepers in the class, and other behind the scenes information that went into a player choosing their college program.
*Schools are listed in alphabetical order
Central Michigan University
Overview: In every Central Michigan recruiting class you can expect a big bodied impact arm and this year that player is Grant Wolfram (Hamilton HS), a 6-foot-6 left-handed pitcher ranked 9th in the Michigan's 2015 class. Look for Wolfram to push for a rotation spot immediately as a freshman. 16th ranked Evan Kratt (Richmond HS) committed early in the process and is a proven winner behind the plate carrying his team to deep runs the state playoffs in back-to-back years. Kratt bat will help him push for time early. Daniel Robinson (Grosse Pointe North HS) was sought after late in the summer into the fall and landed with CMU. Robinson is ranked 17th in the 2015 Michigan class and has a left-handed bat that could land him in the middle of the order. Jarod Burton (Gull Lake HS) had a big spring and even bigger summer at the plate from the left side and rounds out CMU’s 2015 recruiting. Burton is ranked 35th in Michigan 2015 class.
