Inside the Overall Rankings: Arizona 2021

With another summer season concluding, the recollection of the many unforgettable performances of players in the 2021 class start to replay after the releasing of the updated 2021 overall rankings. The summer unveiled numerous advancements made by players all across the state as well as introducing new ones that popped up. PBR’s boots-on-the-ground staff scoured the nation with the commitment to providing the most credible and reliable information in amateur baseball, and culminated the summer with the PBR Future Games, at LakePoint in Georgia, to put an exclamation point on the season as more than 300 college coaches packed the facility to see the top uncommitted underclass players compete against each other. 

Five players from the state of Arizona make the list of Top 400 players across the country, including Louisiana State recruit Brock Selvidge checking in at No. 21. Selvidge showed very nicely at this year’s Area Code Underclass Games and made the case for arguably one the best left-handers in the class. Arizona recruit Ryan Campos comes in at No. 209, Campos has been on the rise in the 2021 rankings and defiantly one to watch moving forward. At No. 220 is Arizona State recruit Barrett Skaugrud, who has been one the top prospects in the state. Cayden Collins checks in at No. 249 and continues to be one the best uncommitted right-handers in the state. Coming in at No. 285 is one of the top corner guys in the state in Arizona State recruit Wes Kath.

BROCK SELVIDGE LHP / OF / HAMILTON, AZ / 2021 Rankings  StateRank: 1 / POS: 1 OverallRank: 23 / POS: 4 Selvidge immediately catches the eye with an impressive, 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame with some defined strength throughout, and as a strong-armed left-hander looks the part of an elite prospect in the class. He was dominant in his first of three innings, starting the event with a bang, getting multiple swings and misses on a fastball that worked 88-91 with some late arm side life out of a high ¾ release. The LSU recruit works linear down the mound with a fuller arm stroke that sports slight stoppage in the back which likely caused for the inconsistency in release point, especially in the second inning. His best breaking ball was thrown to the back leg of a right-handed hitter at 76mph to close out the outing, and worked mostly with gradual break in the mid 70s. He also showed some fade on a low 80s changeup that he slowed his arm down on some. When his athletic delivery synced up, he was able to drive the fastball on a downward plane to the bottom of the zone, though he was more effectively-wild in the second inning of work, it should be noted that he did not give up a run, and his competitiveness as a potential two-way player was present. Overall, Selvidge’s frame, strong arm, and athleticism will likely make him one of the better left-handed arms in the class heading into next summer. /var/www/html/login/modules/Playerss/shortcodes.json not found
