Updated Class of 2014 Rankings for the Buckeye State



By the PBR Ohio Staff

As we close the chapter on the winter (or at least attempt to flip the page), PBR Ohio has updated and expanded the Class of 2014 rankings. Over 50 players have been added to the newly updated rankings. We will revisit the list again in May after extensive game coverage this spring.

While Cameron Varga and Zack Shannon remain at No. 1 and No. 2, the top ten has experienced a shifting of sorts as Lake RHP Jayce Vancena continues his climb up the board to No. 3.

St. Xavier catcher Jordan McDonough, who put together a strong performance at the Super 60 in February, climbs to No. 6.

Meanwhile, Napoleon RHP Zachary Willeman, who sat 86-88 mph at the Super 60 despite being in the middle of basketball season, climbs to No. 7.

Noteworthy Points

+ There are still fifteen players in the top 100 that have not made a college commitment.

+ Big risers include: Loveland RHP Brian Bullock, Strongsville RHP Jordan Sedivy, Lakewood C/RHP Austin Middlemus, Defiance RHP Jacob Green, St. Edward RHP Jon Laird, New Albany RHP Tommy Parsons, St. Johns RHP Pete Burkett, and more!
