Prep Baseball Report

Best of 2023: No. 6 Most Viewed Profile


Brandon Hall
Mid-Atlantic Scouting Director

Josh Hammond comes in as our No. 6 most viewed profile of 2023.  With over 1 million profile views per month on the platform, PBR continues to provide an unparralled platform for amateur baseball players to connect with college coaches and pro scouts, as well as take an analytical look at how they compare to players in their state, in their class, and across the country.

Hammond was a very well known player in North Carolina and the southeast.  The Wake Forest commit was picking up big momentum, but it was one performance that put him on the national map.  Hammond was selected to represent the 2025 grad class as part of the 1st ever Prep Baseball All-American Game.  The dual position athlete grabbed eyes on the workout day with his impressive BP.  He furthered expectations during BP of game day, hitting several balls into the upper-deck of American Family Field, home of the Milwaukee Brewers.  In game, Hammond grabbed the spotlight, bumping 95 and striking out all three hitters he faced with an impressive array of fastballs and devastating sliders.  The next half, Hammond would double, eventually scoring and giving the 2025 Team a lead they would not relinquish.  For his efforts, Hammond was named the events MVP.
