Updated Class of 2023 Player Rankings (March)

The group of 2023 prospects in New England is outstanding. As PBR has grown we are fortunate enough to see a number of younger players. The ability to watch their development is remarkable. The No. 1 ranked player in New England is also the No. 1 ranked player in the country. However, he is not the only one with an ultra bright future. See below as we list as a number of very good 2023 prospects from the New England region.

Below we will take a look at “Who Is At The Top”, The Sleepers To Follow”, "The Newcomers", "Guys To See" and the top uncommitted prospects by position.

Covering six states, New England is a prime area for legit baseball talent and now we would like to bring to you the 2023 Player Rankings.

WHO'S AT THE TOP?

  • Thomas White (Video), the top left-handed pitcher in the country. The long and lanky frame is special to say the least. 
  • Hiro Wyatt, committed to Duke, another young promising prospect. 
  • Eisig Chin, the left-handed hitting outfielder has an excellent swing and shows good foot speed. 
  • Andrew Manning, the left-handed hitting outfielder has gotten stronger and shows plus hand speed at the dish.
  • Cameron Morrison, right-handed hitting catcher is advanced at an early age.
  • Joey Tonotti, a right-handed pitcher, low to mid 80’s fastball, with a harder slider, showing promise as a hitter as well.

THE SLEEPERS TO FOLLOW

  • Scott Brown (Video), an undersized left-handed hitting outfielder displayed an excellent skill set. He is a plus runner with plus hand speed with the bat.
