Phil Kerber
Georgia Scouting Director

As we begin to close the book on 2022 and shift our focus to a brand-new year, we continue our tradition of highlighting the Top-25 Most Viewed Profiles for the calendar year. Using Google Analytics, our staff was able to compile a list of the Top-25 prospects whose PBR profile was viewed the most in 2022. Many of the players mentioned on this list produced at a high level at various PBR events over the course of the last 12 months.

Starting on December 7th, we began counting down from No. 25 all the way to No. 1, which will be announced on December 31st. Coming in at No. 22 in our countdown of the most viewed profiles of 2022 is Georgia Tech signee SS Antonio Anderson from North Atlanta High School.

Scouting Report

9/23/22
Anderson’s relaxed approach was on display throughout the weekend, but was most notable in a star-studded matchup under the lights in game 1 against Walker Jenkin’s South Charlotte Panthers crew. In that game, the 21st ranked player in the class exploded for a big double to the pull side that he followed up with a towering home run in his next plate appearance. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound shortstop possesses present thickness to the lower-half, and given the present and future power potential, still profiles at a high level as a second or third baseman. Only getting left-handed looks, the switch-hitter got off swings with controlled aggression in each at-bat that was highlighted by a heavy barrel delivering firm contact. Gaining his strength from the ground up with a crouched stance that allows for even more, he rocks the hands back with a slight leg kick before working flat through the zone with innate ability to lift. An adequate runner, the power potential from both sides is what is sure to bring the most attention throughout the spring, and given his track record for producing, he will have a chance to raise his draft profile even more with a strong showing then.

Georgia Tech Commit. 6 foot 3, 205 pounds. The young looking, switch-hitting prospect is one of the top hitters in the country with serious power from both sides of the plate. Also one of the best athletes in the country, it's a plus runner with a plus arm. He has a dynamic, explosive, one piece swing with good timing and effortless juice. His shoulders rotate on a perfect diagonal plane for loft, gradually tilting the front shoulder downhill as he separates. This creates a smooth, uphill path that produces a knob led path and exceptional linear connection. The ball absolutely takes off from his barrel. The best part? He’s nowhere near his eventual physicality. He has a lengthy, well muscled build that carries strength throughout his frame while maintaining his overall athleticism. His hands and feet are smooth up the middle, and he shows off the instincts with good reaction time and reads. Anderson has all the tools to stick at SS long term, and separates himself with swing mechanics, raw power potential, and overall athleticism.
