2020 Georgia Rankings (60 through 51)

November 4, 2019
Blake Davis
State Director

After last weeks release of Prep Baseball Report's High School National 2020 Rankings and this weeks release of the PBR Draft HQ's 2020 Draft Board it is a good time to start highlighting PBR Georgia's 2020 Rankings from 60-1. Today we focus on number 60 all the way to 51, this will be a good list of players and will give all the Georgia baseball fans insight into what games are can't miss this Spring around the State.

 

 

    
Jewell has always had pitchability and athleticism on the mound, but has seen a significant uptick in his breaking ball since the Spring and put that on full display at the 2019 Deep South Invite at Auburn University this Fall.  He will lead a salty Winder Barrow ball club this Spring.  The recent Lee University commit will get a chance to play both ways in college and depending on where his bat ends up, could be a two way threat at the next level, because behind the plate he is super interesting.

 

59. Jake Haynes, RHP, Prince Avenue Christian School, (Kennesaw State) 

Standing in at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, Haynes has an excellent pitcher’s frame. He pitches with a heavy 84-88 mph fastball from a high ¾ slot, and also showed a little more later in the tournament, running his fastball up to 89 mph. When he stays over the rubber he gets through his slight stab a little more consistently. His curveball flashes shape at 71-73 mph and also features a change-up at 72-74 mph. This is a good-bodied kid with some nice upside to an already maturing arsenal.


 

58. Garrett Staton, SS, North Forsyth HS, (Samford)

Staton is a very interesting shortstop/third base prospect who poses a strong build at 6-foot-1, 185 pounds. Staton moves well to his left and shows the ability to come and get the baseball, on the move. He has all the measurables as well, posting a 6.81 mark in the 60-yard dash, combined with an 89 mph top velocity across the infield. He has plenty of arm and his feet work well in the dirt. While Staton can get it done on the defensive side of the ball, he has excelled at the plate over the last year, and it was easy to see why. He sets up with hands loaded slightly above his shoulder and gets maximum leverage to put his size and strength to work. He showed well with the ability to stay on pitches on the outer half and drive the baseball. He produces consistent hard contact with feel for the bathead, and has enough thump in his bat to do some damage, as he produced and exit velocity of 92 mph off the barrel. Staton profiles well at the next level and has enough versatility to be used in a variety of capacities early in his career, giving him much value to a team at the next level.


 

57. Brendan Parks, LHP, North Atlanta HS, (Uncommitted)

Parks has launched himself onto the scene this Fall and will be featured at the Fall Upperclass Games this Saturday at Piedmont College.

 

 

56. Brandt Pancer, RHP, North Gwinnett HS, (Stanford)

 

 

55. Brady Moore, SS, Pickens County HS, (Coastal Carolina)

 

54. Jeffery Waters, OF/RHP, South Cobb, (Maryland) 

 

53. Aaron Osada, RHP, River Ridge, (Georgia Tech)


 

52. Joseph Salvo, C, Buford, (Samford)

Salvo is a compact, strong-bodied catching prospect, checking in at 5-foot-11, 185 pounds. He poses a strong accurate arm producing a positional velocity of 78 mph, but his agility and flexibility behind the plate also leads to an impressive 1.89 pop time. Salvo relies on good footwork and a quick transfer to execute these catch-and-throws. At the plate, he has a sound and balanced approach. Salvo loads his hands to shoulder height, getting the barrel to a good launch position, and shows solid gap-to-gap type power from there. His exit velocity was a consistent 86 mph off the tee. The Buford backstop’s actions are compact and sound on both sides of the ball. Salvo projects as a defense-first catching prospect with strong leadership qualities.


 

51. Kyle Hilton, C/RHP, Savannah Christian, (Georgia State)
