Central Coast Section, CA: Spring 2020 is here and as teams get ready for game action to start in the next two weeks, I've been working my lists for guys who could hear their name called in the MLB draft and another group of the Top Committed players in the Section. Whether you are a scout, recruiter, fan or parent here are two groups of players to keep an eye on during the 2020 Central Coast Section season.

10 MLB DRAFT FOLLOWs
