Perfect Game 2015 Draft Top 5 HS Prospects



Early preview of the top HS players in the 2015 draft from Perfect Game USA. I would push the two lefty pitchers closer to the top, but it seems as if a consensus is building around the SS Brendan Rodgers as the top prep player, with Daz Cameron a close second. You can't go wrong with any of the top five or ten and all are committed to solid baseball programs.
