With the addition of 35 new faces, PBR Maryland is proud to release the updated Class of 2019 rankings. These rankings consist of prospects we have been able to see across the Commonwealth and DC using our boots-to-the-ground approach to scouting in our never-ending effort to provide the most complete scouting coverage.
Ensure you #BeSeen, Attend a PBR Virginia/DC event.
It is important to note that our PBR Rankings are not just based on the current ability of a player, but also the projection that each prospect has. Projection plays a larger part in our younger class rankings (2021, 2022) as we not only base each player on what they are now, but what we think they can become as they develop down the road to their senior year. As we get closer to that senior season for each class, current ability plays a much larger factor (2020, 2019). Projection, though playing a large part for some players, starts to play less of a factor the closer we get to their year after high school.
The 35 new faces get our rankings to now 250 across the commonwealth. There was some slight movement around the ranks, as We see some shifting around in the Top five. Staying at our No. 1 spot is the uber talented Jamari Baylor of Benedictine. Moving up to No. 2 is Woodgrove RHP Nick Lockhart. No. 3 is Jefferson Forest LHP Griffin Agee and up to No. 4 is Benedictine RHP Casey Green. Zach Agnos moves up to No. 5.
One new face in the ranks as RHP Jacob Watters out of Bland Co. HS in southwest Virginia jumps into the top ten at No. 9. Watters was up to 92 at a recent showcase and became a hot commodity this fall. He finally made his decision to attend West Virginia.
