With the year coming to an end, our staff is taking some time to highlight and reflect on the most viewed profiles in Missouri throughout 2023. We’ll be counting down to the top spot, starting with No. 10 earlier in the week working our way down, releasing the most viewed name prior to the end of the year.  

Our profiles serve as an all-in-one platform for players, hosting vendors such as verified stats, event video, contact information, and more. To create a free PBR profile, click HERE.

We've already released three stories, which you can find here:

+ No. 10 Tytus Cissell
+ No. 9 Drew Dickerson
+ No. 8 Trey Snyder
+ No. 7 Kade Durnin
+ No. 6 Leo Humbert
+ No. 5
Henry Vedder
+ No. 4 Caeden Cloud
+ No. 3 Nazzan Zanetello
+ No. 2 Jordan Martin

Today we’ll unveil the profile that saw the most views in the state this year, C Evan Damario (Rockhurst, 2025; Mizzou commit). 

A top prospect in the state’s 2025 class, Damario’s productive year started at the Preseason All-State in the winter, when he made the trip to St. Louis and came away from our invite-only event as one of its biggest winners. 

From 2/7/23: “...another top prospect in the state’s 2025 class in attendance on Saturday. Built at an athletic 6-foot, 175-pounds with added strength over the winter, Damario greatly improved his batted ball data from this event last year, enhancing his peak exit velocity (95.6 mph) by eight ticks and peak distance (323 ft.) by 68 feet. Damario’s added strength likely correlates with these improvements, as well as his added bat (73 mph) and hand (23.2 mph) speed metrics. Damario showed one of the strongest arms behind the plate during his defensive workout, topping at 79 mph from the crouch with a 1.93 pop time on his quickest bullet.”

He rode that momentum into the spring season, where he helped lead his Rockhurst squad to a District Championship and Elite Eight appearance at the Class 6 level. He performed on a national level too, in particular at the National Program Invitational at LakePoint, where he showed well in front of our Atlanta scouts.

Damario enters his junior year as a potential anchor for a strong Rockhurst squad that’ll look to make another deep playoff push this spring. Committed to Mizzou, Damario is a high follow prospect in the state with the ability to impact the game on both sides of the ball.
