Prep Baseball Report

Uncommitted Spotlight: '21 Jace Avina


Brett Harrison
Nevada Scouting Director

Jace Avina, #6 Ranked Outfielder and #13 Overall 2021, is an Under the Radar, Northern Nevada prospect that has built himself into a legit prospect. The Future Games attendee has a reputation of being a tireless worker and it is evident by the improvements he has made at each Prep Baseball Report event he has attended over the past couple of years. A Spanish Springs product, Avina was off to a blazing start in the shortened 2020 season, including two opposite field homeruns against a loaded Reno squad that kept his team in the game before coming up short. This season was shaping up to be Avina's breakout year before it was unfortunately cut short, but he will have a his opportunity to showcase himself at the Upperclass Top Prospect Games this summer.
