We’ve revealed the best juniors in the country in our 2019 Hot 100 list, and now it’s time to break down those rankings.

California came in hot and supplied over a fourth of Hot 100 players with 29, while Texas trailed the Golden State with 10 players. Nine was the magic number of players for Florida and Georgia as they ended up in a tie for the third-highest state.


Overall, 34 different club teams were represented in this Hot 100 class. Out of those club teams, Tony Rico's Firecracker organization came out on top with 12 Hot 100 players. The Beverly Bandits tied with the EC Bullets organization for the second-most Hot 100 players at 10 each, and the Batbusters followed with five players.

Out of the 99 players that committed to Power Five conferences, the SEC won by a landslide with 43 commits. The Pac-12 came in second with 19 players, which ended up beating out the Big Ten with 15 players. The Big 12 and ACC followed close behind with 13 and nine commits, respectively.

Among all teams, the University of Tennessee took the top spot with eight commits in this class and also had the most 2018 Hot 100 commits. The Vols beat out the Oklahoma Sooners, who had six commits.


Not only did the SEC have the most commits, but it also landed the No. 1 player in the country, Alexis Kilfoyl. This top-ranked pitcher/1B is a complete stud who is verbally committed to join Pat Murphy and the Crimson Tide at Alabama.

Interestingly, all of the 2019 Hot 100 players have made their decisions and are committed.
