A ten player class, heavy on pitching. The class is smaller because of the prevalence of freshman and sophomores on the current roster. Rankings will fluctuate from service to service, and will adjust after the draft in June, but this appears to be a class ranked in the area of top 15. The coaching staff seems to think that all players will make it to campus.
