December 2, 2019
By Andy Sroka
Staff Writer, Associate Scout

The countdown to 2020 is on, and with it, we’re sharing with you all of the most important links you may have missed from the month of November. We spent the month covering the opening of the NCAA signing period, in which the state’s seniors made their opportunities to play at the next level official. We also spent time breaking down the state’s Class of 2020 Rankings as well as the 2021 board.

There’s plenty to catch you up on, so take a look at all of November’s most important links compiled at your convenience below.

EVENT ANALYSIS

NATIONAL POV

  • INF Cal Fisher (Deerfield) made an appearance inside Nathan Rode’s ‘2023s To Know’ post. Fisher looks to be one of, if not the, top prospect inside Wisconsin’s freshman class. He also just recently verbally committed to Notre Dame, the second prospect in this class to announce a commitment.

  • Speaking of 2023s, Shooter Hunt, PBR’s National Crosschecker, released an updated version of the National 2023 Rankings, featuring Fisher, RHP/SS Adam Switalski (Westosha Central; Indiana commit), SS Alexander Alicea (St. Thomas More), and RHP Evan Shapiro (Wauwatosa East).

  • Our National 2022 Rankings were updated by Hunt and the gang as well, as you can see HERE. Nine Wisconsin prospects made the top-400 cut in an especially exciting sophomore class.

  • If you’re looking for MLB Draft news, our PBR Draft HQ team released its first edition of the 2020 Draft Board headed into the offseason. Three Wisconsin seniors made the top-200.

  • In early November, the PBR staff welcomed aboard a new member to its team: Cullen McGowan. McGowan comes from TrackMan, where he managed professional and amateur baseball business. His resume is as decorated as they come, with degrees from Columbia University and the University of Arizona. Now Managing Director, McGowan will oversee all business units while shepherding upcoming initiatives. To read the full release, click HERE.

WISCONSIN’S LATEST RANKINGS

We’ve been tidying up our in-state rankings while we’re stuck inside the offseason, starting with the state’s 2020 board:

WISCONSIN COLLEGE COVERAGE

With the signing period open as of mid-November, we tracked and detailed where the seniors are headed.

From the Missouri Valley, Big Ten, all the way to the Pac-12, check out each of the 2020s who will head for prominent D-I homes next fall.

  • Division-II, D-II Commits: A lot of the state’s best talent is sticking close to home inside the Midwest to participate in a budding baseball region. The WIAC will retain some significant homegrown talent, especially. A full breakdown of each of the names committed.
