Note* Rankings will be updated again in December to better reflect the players we have seen this fall as we finish out the season.  

The Top

Jake McCutcheon SS / Francis Howell, MO / 2022

The smooth shortstop showed he can impact the game on both side of the ball. A plus defender with arm strength to stay at SS he also demonstrated his all around game with a good feel for the barrel and gap power.
