Springtime in Gwinnett County brings blooming dogwood trees, temperatures in the mid-70s and legions of baseball scouts. These scouts don’t come unprepared. They’re armed with a route — a route that often runs through Parkview High School.

Its program is ranked u21161 in Georgia and u211624 in the nation by MaxPreps, and it has a legacy to prove it (30 players drafted and counting).
