Heading into the Summer Showcase circuit in 2019 the top high school player in the country at the time was Pete Crow-Armstrong, a left-handed hitting outfielder from Harvard-Westlake HS. For those that are unfamiliar with Harvard-Westlake HS, it has produced a few current major league All-Stars like Jack Flaherty<\/a>, Lucas Giolito<\/a> and Max Fried<\/a>. After the Summer Showcase circuit his draft stock took a bit of a dip but he started seeing his draft stock go up again this spring and he is again considered one of the best high school hitters in the country. His draft stock improved enough to be considered along with Tyler Soderstrom (Turlock HS) as one of the 2 best high school hitters in California by both Baseball America and MLB Pipeline and both players seem like locks to be first round picks. He first started garnering attention as a 16-year-old on the 18U Team USA Gold Medal winning team in 2018 and was an Under Armour All-American in 2019. His mom, Ashley Crow, played the mom of the lead character in the 1994 baseball movie, “Little Big League,” and his father Matthew John Armstrong is also a Hollywood actor.<\/span><\/p>\n
