Took a break from daily updates to the NorCal ⚾️ board tonight, but for good reason. I'd been wanting to create "stat-based" grades for this group, as I do for my college boards. Here are the top 💯 hitters by my custom weighted formula. Pretty happy with the results!

CIF North Coast Section WAR Leaders In a section this deep & talented, it's eye opening to see one player so far ahead of the pack. Just goes to show how great Danny Mercado has been for Casa Grande. Currently #uncommitted!

NorCal ⚾️ WAR Leaders oWAR = Offensive production pWAR = Pitching production WAR 40 = Projected WAR over full season WAR = Actual production (offense + pitching) Each is adjusted for player class & team SOS. Each highlights a different set of great players!

Thank you for the nomination West Coast Preps

NorCal ⚾️ WAR40 Leaders | Class of 2025 WAR40 is a projection score that assigns every player 40 games (30 offense & 10 pitching) using their current rate of WAR production. This group is loaded, but Landyn Plaut really has been on another level. lookerstudio.google.com/s/jMMGYOm3rVA

Updated CA North Coast Section WAR Leaders Casa Grande duo Danny Mercado & Brady Laubscher lead another very strong group. This is combined WAR, so two-way players tend to stand out. NCS has some star hitter & pitcher-only players.

Some nights my internet lets me down & I can't make updates. Tonight is one. So here's a look at the top 💯 WAR scores for every high school player I've calculated this year. It's mostly still NorCal & many states are missing. Commit info incomplete. Still, these dudes can play!

The top 💯 high school players in NorCal, as ranked by combined WAR. WAR includes hitting, baserunning, fielding, & pitching. It adjusts for team SOS & player class, and multiplies by games played. Two-way players tend to stand out here. Again, SEVERAL highly-coveted ⚾️ players.
