Preseason Rankings: Class of 2024

Though it may sound crazy to many of you, several names on this list are already on track for college baseball or maybe even beyond. So many more have successfully navigated their way onto varsity fields this spring. Here is a deeper list than usual in the sophomore class, especially on the mound.
