Spring Sports Stars: Who is Michigan’s top underclassman on the 2025 baseball scene

MLive player polls are designed for discussion.

And what’s a better topic than “Who is the best?”

MLive has launched a project to help identify the top player in each class in each spring sport.

We’ve collected a list of 50 sophomore and freshman candidates and now ask for your input to name the Top Underclassman on the high school baseball scene across Michigan for 2025.

Cast your vote as often as you’d like until 8 a.m. Monday, June 2. There is no voting by email.
