Good info for uncommitted 2018's

Good info. Thanks for posting. Too bad it's behind a paywall.

On my son's HS team, 3 2018's have verbally committed to schools this past month alone (D2, D3 and a juco). For a decent player, there's almost always a place to play if you want to continue playing ball.

Slightly off topic . . . . Have you found the PBR Plus subscription to have value? If so, in what way? I've debated subscribing on behalf of my 2019, but haven't been able to pull the trigger as yet as it seems additive to a PG subscription.

That was a neat artical. Especially how big a % of 2018's committed after August. I get so tired of hearing how my 2019 should be committed by now. It's good to have some statistics to back how silly that is. To me that artical shows that for most players the summer between junior and senior year is still the most important and not the summer between sophomore and junior years.

It depends on what you want out of it and with PBR it depends on what state your in. For me it provides a lot of info on in state players. Much more so than PG. Especially the lower D1/D2 level players. 

Ive gotten the pbr subscription "free" ever since my son went to a showcase or 2.  Not sure why, as it's supposed to be $10/month I thought..

I thought it was worthwhile to see where my son stacked up against in state competition. We also did more PBR events that Perfect Game, just because they tended to be more affordable. I wanted to be able to see all the video, comments, etc. I guess to me, PBR was a little smaller, which fit with what my son was doing for recruiting (smaller D1s, etc), rather than PG, which seemed much higher level.

My 2018 committed to a Power 5 in September of this year. They had seen him a lot, but he made huge gains in strength and FB speed and added a nasty slider over the summer. If he had committed the year before (and he could have) he'd be going to a good school, but not the dream school.

Definitely has value IMO. As has already been noted, it is a great resource when you are interested in what is happening locally with high school baseball. I am sure it varies from state to state but I have found the Colorado site to be worth the $ spent. 

Thanks all for the feedback reg'd PBR. Sounds as though the subscription could be worth it. Fwiw, we live in FL.

Yes, good post. Any hope at all for these unsigned seniors - and their parents- is helpful.

thanks for the heads up on PBR , I didnt even know the site existed(and I have been on here for a year)
