UPDATE: the players were distributed originally by region but those regions have been changed. Thus, there has been some switching of players to different regions which has led to an update from last night.

Please see below the updated player REGIONAL rankings… sorry for the change; it should more accurately represent where the athletes should be.

We finish our look at the 2030 Line Drive HOT 100 player rankings for now as we go across the nation by REGION and rank the players by their area of the country according to the following groupings: 

• Region 1—Northeast
  • Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia
• Region 2—Southeast
  • Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee
• Region 3 – Midwest
  • Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Wisconsin
• Region 4—West
  • Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon,  Washington
• Region 5 – Southwest/Mountain
  • Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Utah, Texas, Wyoming

Note: the states attributed to the players are primarily based on where the club team is located as that, most of the time, corresponds to the region although we do recognize that some athletes play for travel teams in a different region.
