Wyatt Langford was a relatively unknown player entering his sophomore season at Florida after having just four at-bats in his freshman year in 2021. 

The lack of experience didn’t hinder Langford last season, however. Langford moved into the starting lineup and blossomed into one of the top players in college baseball. 

Langford showed an impressive skillset at the plate, hitting .356 in 66 games at Florida last season. He continued his high level of play with USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team during the summer.

 

9-9-22 - 2023 OVERALL RANKINGS UPDATE

Max Clark. 

The mere mention of the new #1 overall player in the 2023 class lights up the face of any scout, player, parent, or coach, and his presence on any diamond is sure to bring a massive crowd of onlookers and spectators. A massive social media following is glued to his every movement, and Clark’s cutting edge delivery in said space is sure to be the example that many future prospects follow. 

But for all the hype, there is no gimmick. 

A five-tool prospect with across-the-board abilities that are unmatched, Clark’s incessant pursuit of perfection might be his most awe inspiring attribute. No player brings as much talent to the diamond, but even more impressively, no player brings as much energy and exuberance. Max Clark is ALWAYS on. There is no half-speed to his motor. He glides around the outfield gracefully, and is equally as dangerous in turning a routine ground ball to shortstop into a single as he is stretching a standup double into a triple. He is a throwback player who is defining the future of amateur baseball, and is unwilling to be type casted. 

 

9-7-22 -  Top 20 high school prospects for '23 Draft

6. Thomas White, LHP, Phillips Academy (Mass.)

White hadn’t been seen much before this summer, and he picked his spots but showed enough in the PDP League and East Coast Pro Showcase to make him one of the top prep arms in the class. The 6-foot-5 southpaw featured a fastball that was up to 96-97 mph, a high-spin breaking ball in the upper-70s that misses bats and showed glimpses of what could be a very good low-80s changeup.

#9 Gavyn Jones - LHP - White Oak - Texas Tech Commit 

The East Texas native has had a lot of helium this summer after leading White Oak to a deep playoff run.  The LHP committed to Tech this summer and then capped off a great summer at Area Codes. 

LHP Gavyn Jones (White Oak HS, TX) pitched three innings of relief, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out six. The fastball started out 90-93 from his 3/4 slot, before dipping to 87-90, but the pitch had arm-side run and he threw strikes. A Texas Tech recruit, his best secondary pitch was a slider with 3/4 sweeping action. It didn’t have a sharp or late break to it, but the angle at which he delivered the pitch allowed him to miss a lot of bats. He also mixed in a changeup at 83-84. - Shooter Hunt
