Congrats to these players

Was Heppler rated?

Was Heppler rated?

Clyde, Looks like he is at 57. I didn't realize he was 6'-5". Big kid!

He is big with a sweet lefty swing. My guess is he'll make a name for himself starting this year.

 

The 9th has a strong 2016 class.

Josiah Robbins should be on this list. He may be the best player in the state this year as a junior. He is on several watch list, college and beyond. He plays shortstop, runs like a deer and hits for power and nearly 500.

2016 has a very deep class of really good baseball players... Not surprised to see Ziegelmeyer climbing the ranks. There are a lot of solid ball players that probably won't even make this list because 2016 is so deep.

Josiah Robbins should be on this list. .

Boyle County.

 

He is our quarterback also.

More NKY kids on list:

Kyle Fieget #61

Ricky Raisor #88

Evan Slone #100

 

And several great NKY players not on the list. As someone posted earlier, 9th region is loaded with 2016 talent as well as the whole state of Kentucky.

I can't wait for high school baseball to get started.

You are correct in your assessment. I am sure there are more kids that might be ranked if they had the time and/or finances to attend these PBR events.

Well, as others have pointed out...PBR does really good work but it is just offering a glimpse of information to college scouts.

Personally I'd have Heppler a little above 57 and I'd have Slone above 100... But PBR may have only seen these guys once or twice to make an assessment. Also, a lot of the guys further down the list (or not even on the list) just don't have gaudy "measurables". Again, they have to try to find some democratic way to rank players and those measurables seem fair enough as a whole. I think most college coaches realize that some kids play "bigger" than their measurables would indicate. So, any kid on the list should be proud of themselves for sure. Keep working if they want to move up the list and if you're not on the list, it doesn't mean you can't get there. Play hard and have fun!

Josiah Robbins should be on this list. He may be the best player in the state this year as a junior. He is on several watch list, college and beyond. He plays shortstop, runs like a deer and hits for power and nearly 500.

 

This list was the top NKy players. Josiah is rated at #22, 5th rated SS

 

Seems the guys at PBR love the fastball, but that's typical. Top 3 kids all have topped 90 (Stringer has too, but not at PBR event). I would have Currie at 2, he will be over 90 this year and has a 6'7 frame, kid is huge. IMO you can scramble the top 6 and come up with any order. Big arms all around, Combs has crazy power and hits the ball as hard as anyone, and he is forced to play out of position in HS as a 3b. Stringer is the best hitter I've seen at this age group and has a cannon from OF. Good to see Z getting some love, the Ft Myers showing is paying off, I think he will keep rising. I think Purnell is the most under rated kid on that list, I love his all around game.
