Prep Baseball Report

Updated Class of 2023 Rankings


Brett Harrison
Nevada Scouting Director

The PBR Nevada 2023 Class Rankings have been updated after a baseball packed summer season that saw many of the top players in the state continue to maintain their status in their class while many others continue their climb toward the top of the class rankings. The 2023’s are the group we have seen hit the hardest by the additional Covid years given by the NCAA and NJCAA as well as the addition of the one time transfer rule, leaving a number of high level players still on the board with many expected to be off the board in the next few months as we begin our journey to the 2023 Spring Season.

Today we take a deeper dive into the Top 3 players in the State, a couple of the Top Uncommitted players remaining on the board, as well as take a look at who's seen their stock take a rise after the summer.
