New England Insider: Class of 2020 Player Rankings (September)

With the Spring and Summer seasons behind us, we look at some of the prospects throughout the New England region. There are a number of good high school players throughout the area and below is a list of some of the better players in the region.

We have seen numerous prospects over the past spring and summer at PBR events, local workouts and games from across the region, and a lot of time and thought put in from our staff with these updated rankings.

That being said, we have had the pleasure of seeing a number of solid players this past spring and summer. Prospects are popping up left and right, making velocity jumps, improving 60-yard dash times and showing more power with the bat.

Covering six states, New England is a prime area for legit baseball talent and now we would like to bring to you the updated 2020 Player Rankings.
