BBNW Players
Baseball Northwest’s mission is to provide Northwest players the resources required for success at their “NEXT LEVEL” of competition.
Top Player Lists
Baseball Northwest’s ranking of Northwest players is done to highlight the regions’ top prospects as evaluated by the Baseball Northwest professional evaluators. It is done to promote and inspire players and also to promote the game. Some college and high school coaches, and professional scouts are consulted but the final lists are put together by the Baseball Northwest staff as a whole. The lists do not reflect the opinion of any specific high school, college, or professional organization.
The evaluaters consider the LONG TERM POTENTIAL OF A PLAYER, the potential of a player at the next level, and not necessarily the success or stats of a high school player.
All players listed have been thouroughly seen by the Baseball Northwest staff to be evaluated—even if the player has not attended a Baseball Northwest event, although nearly all have done so. Baseball Northwest understands the difficulty in ranking players, but no one sees all these players as much as the Baseball Northwest staff. Players develop at different rates and at different times. The complete ability of the player is considered, including their desire to play and improve, because this has proven to make a difference in their long term development.
Players are generally listed at the position or positions they will likely play at the next level. BBNW has a history of tracking the top players. We consider many more players than appear on our lists. The Watch List sections are those players we are considering for the top player section. We have likely missed a player that should be considered—we will add or subtract from the list throughout the year.
Please email us if you would like to recommend a player in any class for consideration. Enjoy the lists—it takes many hours to complete.
