Top 10 Virginia HS baseball players in Class of 2024
10. Callum Early, SS, James River-Midlothian
As the younger brother of Virginia Cavaliers pitcher Connelly Early, Callum understands baseball at a deep level and it shows in his game. The 6-foot, 175-pound shortstop hit .308 with a .455 on-base percentage, a .403 slugging percentage and a .859 OPS with 16 hits, 12 runs scored, seven RBIs and five doubles for a 19-4 Rapids squad that made it to the Class 6 Region A semifinals. He earned Richmond Times-Dispatch all-metro honorable mention for his efforts.
Callum is ranked as the eighth-best recruit in the state’s 2024 class by Prep Baseball Report, showing the respect he has from scouts. He committed to in-state Liberty in July.
Had a great weekend playing with @BaseballU. Swings from the week, batted .715 with an OBP of .800.
Thank you Coach Wells and Graham. pic.twitter.com/rSrkJvj9ia— Callum Early (@EarlyCallum) October 3, 2022
