Top Viewed Profiles of 2019
No. 8 Jordan Little
Jordan Little (RHP, 2021, Hickory Grove Christian) jumped onto the PBR scene during the high school season in 2019 and continued to build his profile as a high profile prospect throughout the year. Long and lanky, there is plenty of projection for college coaches and scouts to continue to fawn over as he matures. The breakout performance may have been at LakePoint as a member of Team Carolina at the 2019 PBR Future Games. In front of over 300 college coaches, Little dominated Team Alabama for two innings, working with some ease as his 88 mph fastball created swings and misses and chase up out of the zone. Little parlayed his performance into a commitment to East Carolina. There will be plenty of eyes on this prospect as he continues to mature in the coming years.
