Idaho Top Unsigned Seniors: LHP/OF Nolan Hardesty
January 13, 2023
With the 2023 Spring Season quickly approaching, Idaho still has a number of Uncommitted senior prospects remaining from the West Coast Games. In the Top Uncommitted feature we will be highlighting the top Uncommitted senior still on the board from the event.
Throughout the Preseason, we will continue highlighting players we see at both our Scout Days as well as at the Preseason ID's, where both Committed and Uncommitted players will have an opportunity to updated their PBR Player Profiles with their most up to date metrics collected by the PBR Staff using the top baseball technology in the game in TrackMan and Swift Performance.
Register for your Scout Day, the Idaho Falls Preseason ID or Boise Preseason ID today!
We continue our Idaho Top Uncommitted feature with a look at two-way prospect, LHP/OF Nolan Hardesty, of Twins Falls HS, who was a standout on the mound at the West Coast Games in August.
