The 2009s have 10 of the top 51. The 2010s have 10. The 2011s have 10. The 2012s have 12. And the mighty 2013s have just 9. I am probably being a bit conservative on the 2013s since they alone among this group have not completed their high school eligibility. If that is the case, then Phyllis Webb, Mikaala Shackleford and MC McGrory are 3 who are probably underrated.

Then, finally, where do some of the younger ballplayers coming up look like they might fit? Here's a wild guess as to how the entire group of 9 classes from 2009 to 2017 might rate 5 years from now.
