New England Insider: Updated Class of 2020 Player Rankings (December)
Throughout the year we have traveled across the region to showcases and games. The spring/summer have proved valuable for many 2020 prospects, with many names coming off the board to some of the top programs around the nation. This fall followed suit and we were able to spot numerous other talented prospects within the class. Below we will take a look at “What’s New At The Top”, "The Risers" and the top uncommitted prospects available.
That being said, we have had the pleasure of seeing a number of solid players this past year. Prospects are popping up left and right, making velocity jumps, improving 60-yard dash times and showing more power with the bat.
Covering six states, New England is a prime area for legit baseball talent and now we would like to bring to you the updated 2020 Player Rankings.
What's New At The Top
Matt Joyce, quick arm right-hander headed to BC has come on quite nicely in the last year. Pitches in the mid-80’s with plus secondary stuff.- Emmett Tolis, huge right-hander out of Avon Old Farms who shows the makings of a high level arm. The arm works nicely and the leverage is outstanding.
- Ryan Murphy, quality left-hander headed to Maryland. The delivery is sound and the arm has a chance to be high level.
- Will Jones, long and loose left-hander out of Hamilton Wenham. Pitched in the Future Games before going down with an arm injury. Big follow as he gets back to full strength.
- Harold Coll, legit right-handed hitting shortstop. Above average defender who can certainly play at a higher level.
- John West, 6-foot-6 right-hander headed to Boston College. The projectability is outstanding.
- Saar Rosa, committed to Uconn is a quality right-hander out of Connecticut who pitched and had his coming out party at the Future Games. Should be fun to watch the loose arm develop.
- Julian Thayer continues to play well, athletic infielder, runs above average and has power for an average sized player. Might be better suited to play the outfield at the next level.
