As Nebraska enters its second weekend of high school baseball, we have decided to get our calculators out here at MaxPreps, crunch some numbers, and generate our list of Nebraska's Top 10 prep fantasy baseball players.
Grand Island shortstop Parker Upton's versatility headlines the list, which was calculated using a combination of the fantasy baseball scoring systems utilized by FanDuel, DraftKings and Victiv. We used a players statistics from last season's MaxPreps Nebraska baseball stat pages in determining our Top 10.
Upton scored highly in all offensive categories, allowing the 6-1 senior to waltz into the top spot ahead of Archbishop Bergan senior Bradyn Thomas — another fine all around athlete on the diamond. Platte Valley looks to be an offensive juggernaut in 2016 after landing Wyatt Zaugg, Trevor Ziemba and Cody Feist all in the Top 10.
