We are extremely excited to announce our newest update to our MD/DE Class of 2024 Rankings with a look at the Top 25. Earlier in the week, our staff broke down new faces and risers throughout the class, all leading to the release of our Top 225 players on Thursday. Below, we reveal the Top 10, a link to the Top 25 and take a look at key players who make a significant jump inside the Top 25.
We officially have a new number one in the class, as right-handed pitcher and University of Maryland commit Jake Yeager (Archbishop Spalding) jumps two spots to number one. A breakout Junior season and a huge summer on the bump has seen Yeager fine tune his arsenal and become one of, if not the most dominating pitchers across the state.

3 GO’s and a BB in the 1st. Filling up the zone w/ a strong 3 pitch mix. FB changing eye levels, mixing in a tight, hard downer SL inducing whiffs
FB: 88-90 (More 90)
SL: 78-80
CB: 74-75@Jake_Yeager1 pic.twitter.com/OItBPK6ro1
We also see a new face jump into the top 10, as right-handed pitcher and Rutgers University commit Nolan Peel (Tome School) lands at number 6. A power righty with a devastating fastball/curveball combo that saw him carve through hitters at this year's PBR 17u National Championships at LakePoint this Summer. A starter profile that attacks the zone early and often with the ability to spin for strikes consistently.

5 strong innings w/ 9 Ks. Quick 3/4 AA w/ explosiveness down the mound. FB/CB have the makings of a really good 2-pitch mix. Filled the zone w/ strikes.
FB: 87-89 (T90) run
CB: 77-79

One of the biggest risers in the class, and one that sees his stock sky-rocket since the Unsigned Senior Games is Noah Burroughs (Sussex Central). Jumping just outside the Top 15, the physical two-way jumps off the page metrics wise with exit velocities consistently in the high 90's and a strong arsenal on the bump, running the fastball in the upper 80's for strikes. An impact player on both sides that is one of the more sought after uncommitted players in the class.

After an impressive BP (111 EV- 419 ft max distance), the @PBR_Uncommitted arm hops on the mound for 85-88 T89. 2 breaking balls for K’s w/ sweeping SL and feel for CB/CH. Carved his way through hitters. @JNaill8 #MDUSG23 pic.twitter.com/Kxyq5AjimM
