The high school season is still going on for a few states in the northeast and midwest, but in other places we have moved on to summer ball. All things considered this was another excellent high school season and we were happy to be a part of it all. The following are the Perfect Game/Rawlings National Players of the Year, and there were many deserving candidates for each category.


2017 Perfect Game/Rawlings National High School Player of the Year:
Jordon Adell, of, Ballard (Louisville, Ky.)
It's hard to overstate exactly how good Jordon Adell was this season for Ballard HS. The No. 10 pick to the Los Angeles Angels in Monday's MLB Draft put together a tremendous season that saw him hit .562 with an absurd 25 home runs and 61 RBI. Perhaps the biggest development in terms of his draft stock was his bat-to-ball skills that saw only 10 strikeouts and 35 walks. He added double-digit totals in stolen bases as well and the Louisville commit has some of the best top-line speed in the class.


2017 Perfect Game/Rawlings National High School Pitcher of the Year:
MacKenzie Gore, lhp, Whiteville (Whiteville, N.C.)
The top prep lefts drafted No. 3 overall to the San Diego Padres, Gore collected Gatorade National Player of the Year honors and comes away with the Perfect Game/Rawlings Pitcher of the Year. The future Padre was downright spectacular during his senior year with a 0.19 ERA and 158 strikeouts in 74 1/3 innings pitched. It is important to note that this was not a runaway win for this award as strong seasons by both Trevor Rogers (first round, 13th pick, Miami Marlins) and Logan Allen caused them to also be considered. Rogers had excellent strikeout numbers (14.8 K/7) throughout the season with a 0.33 ERA and Allen helped carry University (Fla.) to a state title that included a no-hitter in his final start with a 0.35 ERA and 150K over 80 IP. 


2017 Perfect Game/Rawlings National High School Two-Way Player of the Year:
Tanner Burns, rhp, Decatur (Decatur, Ala.)
The star of Decatur HS (Ala.) had a strong season both on the mound and at the plate. Burns went 10-1 with a 0.88ERA and a 12.69 K/7 to go along with a .467 batting average and leading the state with 16 home runs. Burns was drafted as a pitcher and his batting days are likely behind him, but he ended his high school career on a strong note with the stick. Although he was not selected on day one of the draft, Burns has been rising this spring after reaching 96 mph and holding his velocity well into outings.
