We would like to bring to you a look at the recruiting landscape within the Buckeye State. Below we look to bring you a look at where some of the top uncommitted prospects across the state are getting interest from, planning to visit and who has offered.

If you have committed or know someone who has committed please tweet at us or send an email to Dylan Hefflinger ([email protected]) so that we can highlight your accomplishment. 

To view the most recent commitments within the buckeye state, please take a look at the Circling The Bases - Commitment Spotlight Tracker.

The Buckeye State is filled with high-level baseball prospects throughout each corner of the state. The 2018 class has commitments all across the United States, from Vanderbilt to Miami to Kentucky to Missouri to Nebraska and many more colleges across the U.S. When looking at the 2018 rankings, you will see plenty of Ohio colleges littered throughout all of the commitments as well.

The 2019, 2020 and 2021 classes are loaded and primed to make some big-time commitments to colleges all across the nation over the next few years. We at PBR Ohio look to bring you insightful information on these big-time commits as well as giving everyone a look at some of the top uncommitted prospects available as well.
