Sean Duncan, LHP, Port Coquitlam, B.C.
Previous Rank: 117 | Current Rank: 39

Sean Duncan came out in Jupiter and put together a truly masterful outing, going 3.0 innings strong with 7 punchouts to his credit. He showed the fastball up to 95 mph, holding the low- to mid-90s, with good ride at the top of the zone, and feel to locate it in the lower half as well. He also has a devilish sweeper in the low- to mid-80s, with spin in the 2,700s and the ability to land it at will. He’ll turn over the occasional upper-80s changeup as well. It was an impressive show of dominance from the left-handed pitcher, who made some noise and saw himself climb up the rankings into the Top 50.



Jace Mataczynski, SS, Hudson, Wisc.
Previous Rank: 500 | Current Rank: 79

Mataczynski made serious noise this year on the circuit, and his fall performance wrapped things up in a big way. He finished the year hitting .523/.632/.909 with 5 doubles, 3 triples, and 2 home runs to his credit. He plated 19 runs and managed 13 walks to 12 strikeouts over 44 at-bats. Mataczynski flashed the tools loudly, both at shortstop and at the plate. It’s a really accurate barrel from the right side, and the Auburn commit has a knack for being on-time and on-the-barrel to do damage offensively. It’s no shock that he went from being ranked Top 500 into the Top 100 of this class with his performance this year on the circuit. 

Ryan Stedman, RHP, West Des Moines, Iowa
Previous Rank: 251 | Current Rank: 179

Stedman is another Midwest name from the circuit who has shown us plenty of years, but kicked it into another gear for his fall performances in New Lenox and Jupiter. Stedman garnered a nearly 75-spot jump and moved inside the Top 200 while also taking over the No. 1 spot in the state of Iowa for the 2026 class. Stedman was up to 95 mph in Jupiter and held the low- to mid-90s on the fastball during his fall outings at the Heartland Champions Cup and WWBA World Championship. He flashed the heater with riding life and a low-80s slider and upper-70s hammer of a curveball to attack hitters with. Between his two fall events, he totaled 4.0 innings, allowing 2 hits, walking 4, and striking out 7 opposing hitters along the way. It’s loud stuff and was truly impressive in the fall showings for the Iowa commit, more than justifying his move up the rankings.

Jayden Parker, SS, San Diego, Calif.
Previous Rank: 500 | Current Rank: 245

Parker, a California-native, spent some time this fall on the Midwest circuit with the 5-Star/Cubs Scout Team group and was truly dominant alongside a couple of other California natives on the team. Parker hit well and showed off his abilities in the batter’s box. It was a good year for Parker, who hit .354/.426/.521 with a half-dozen extra-base hits and 14 RBI to his credit. It’s a loud right-handed swing that can produce good results. He has hitterish actions, working at-bats well and finding ways on base, whether it’s a hard-hit ball pull-side, or a good piece of hitting-- shooting one the other way. Parker showed the tools in the box and at shortstop this year, especially in the fall, helping the Hoosiers commit move up over 250 spots in the latest update. 

Dylan Fairchild, SS, Wixom, Mich.
Previous Rank: 427 | Current Rank: 195

Fairchild swung it well this year on the circuit, showing good feel for the barrel and an ability to impact the baseball. It was a good showing at the WWBA World Championship in 2025, tallying a handful of hits, with a double, a triple, and a home run with 5 RBI to his credit. He hit .520/.606/.880 with a half dozen extra-base hits and 10 RBI on the year in all of his PG events. He’s a Cincinnati commit who got it done offensively and has become a “buzzy” name on the circuit, especially with a good performance in Jupiter. The right-handed bat has a functional swing that allows him to get it done, and his performance helped him move up inside of the Top 200.

-Tyler Kotila


Noah Wilson, OF, McCallie School (TN)
Previous Rank: 30 | Current Rank: 10

Wilson performed at all stops this summer/fall, earning a jump into the Top-10. The Vanderbilt commit started his summer by earning an All-Tournament team selection at the 17u WWBA National Championship and followed it with a strong performance at PG National. After a stop at the All-American Classic, Wilson capped off the year with a stellar showing down in Jupiter. A feel to hit and impressive power turned heads, posting a 1.455 OPS and earning another All-Tournament selection. The loud offensive skill set and consistent production make Wilson one of the premier prospects in the class. 

Blake Bowen, OF, JSerra Catholic HS (CA)
Previous Rank: 23 | Current Rank: 15

Bowen posted monster numbers throughout the 2025 circuit, earning a jump into the Top-15. The Oregon State commit slashed .400/.500/.564 across 22 games with 12 SB and impressive impact off the barrel. Bowen is a physical right-handed hitting slugger that brings an array of skills to the plate. The upside is obvious and the performance this year was amongst the best in the class. 
 

Trevor Condon, OF, Etowah HS (GA)
Previous Rank: 57 | Current Rank: 27

Condon jumped 30 spots after posting a .423/.573/.712 slashline in 75 plate appearances with 10 extra-base hits and twice the amount of walks to strikeouts this summer/fall. The Tennessee commit shows an incredible feel to hit. There is advanced bat to ball skills with the ability to spray hard contact to all fields. The power continues to grow, making for a lethal offensive skill set. Condon just continues to get better and looks to be in line to continue to rise up the rankings. 

Judah Ota, OF, Iolani HS (HI)
Previous Rank: 94 | Current Rank: 64

Ota is another player that jumped 30 spots, all the way up to 64th overall in the class. The top-ranked player out of Hawaii features a physical 6-foot-5, 210-pound frame with loads of projection. The left-handed hitting Ota has massive power potential that already shows up in-game, posting a 1.187 OPS over the summer and fall. A loud showing in Jupiter stood out as Ota posted an OPS near 1.300, including a monster 417 foot homerun. 
 

Will Yow, SS, St. Anne’s-Belfield HS (VA)
Previous Rank: 500 | Current Rank: 81

Yow shot into the Top-100 in the latest update, jumping an astounding 419 spot. The Virginia commit is an uber-athletic shortstop with multiple plus tools on the card. Yow has a monster showing in Jupiter, going 6-for-13 with a bomb. Although the sample was smaller than most, Yow posted remarkable numbers with a 1.550 OPS, three home runs and just one strikeout over 22 plate appearances. The mix of tools and athleticism will make Yow a significant draft follow this spring. 

-Tyler Henninger

Landon Brown, RHP, Iowa Colony HS (Texas)
Previous Ranking: 263 | New Ranking: 137

Brown made a massive jump after his loud fall showing. The right-hander committed to Mississippi State has been up to 97 mph and topped 96 mph in Jupiter with three promising pitches in a bending slider and running changeup. Brown has massive arm strength with some heavy life to his heater and has garnered a good amount of eyes in the process. 

Colin White, LHP, Harrison HS (Ga.) 
Previous Ranking: 264 | New Ranking: 38

Another huge jump by a prep arm as White made a statement this entire fall at PG events. The Florida commit has been 93-95 mph and topping 96 mph from a higher tough release and 6-foot-4 frame. His breaking ball is a banger, a low-80s hammer with depth and finish that plays. White checks all sorts of boxes and his immediate jump is warranted. 

Asher DeLue, LHP, The Hun HS (N.J.) 
Previous Ranking: 500 | New Ranking: 365

DeLue opened eyes in Jupiter and can flat out pitch from the left side. The Boston College commit was up to 92 mph with a full mix, including a quality changeup and a good breaking ball from an angled release. He’s real projectable and moves well with a ton of starter traits to build upon. 

Blake Krushinski, RHP, Fox Chapel Area HS (Pa.)
Previous Ranking: 490 | New Ranking: 200

Kushinski is another major standout after a huge fall. The West Virginia commit came out 93-95 mph with a good 82-84 mph slider with some real good arm speed. He stood out in a major way in Jupiter and put together a stellar outing with big eyes in attendance. 

Ethan Offing, SS, Dutch Fork HS (S.C.)
Previous Ranking: 330 | New Ranking: 186

Offing showed well this entire fall, a versatile twitchy athlete with budding tools on both sides. The Clemson commit lived on the barrel in Jupiter, including a no-doubt homer and flashing the leather at multiple spots. He strung together multiple 98-plus exit velocities and has serious juice. 

-Isaiah Burrows


Will Adams, OF/LHP, Hoover HS (Ala.)  
Previous Ranking:185  | New Ranking: 122 

 The LSU commit hit in a big way at all the summer stops to earn his 2026 rankings bump. It's a clean left-handed hack that continues to trend positively in terms of in game power. Elite feel to barrel present and has drawn comps to multi-time all-star, Michael Brantley, for his polished offensive approach. Adams is also a talented left-handed pitcher that will command the low 90’s fastball, changeup and sharp breaking ball. Last outing in Hoover during the fall, he was dominant with a real weapon left on left.  

Sean Dunlap, C/OF, Crown Point HS (Ind.) 
Previous Ranking: 85 | New ranking:41   

One of my favorite looks of the 2025 Area Code games, Dunlap just continued to shine through the end of the summer and really put a bow on it in Jupiter for the WWBA Worlds. Athletic tooled up mold that has a real chance to stick behind the dish. It’s an advanced swing that gets to sharp impacts. Chance for plus tools across the board.  
 

Winston Pennant, OF, Sumner HS (FL) 
Previous Ranking: 240 | New ranking: 120  

The Ole Miss commit is quickly climbing the rankings after a strong showing at the WWBA Worlds. The performance included a clutch pull side homer and 107 EV triple that split the alley in a flash. Big juice present with a strong lower half and heavy hands at impact. Sound mover for the size and a prototypical right-hand corner bat. 

Colin Driffill, RHP, Millard North HS (NE) 
Previous Ranking: 354 | New ranking: 199  

One of the more impressive things I’ve seen this entire cycle was Driffill throwing mid 90’s pellets in relief in about 40-degree weather in Arizona back in January. Scouts in attendance that night saw this major jump coming. Its a big physical mold with lively heater and quality secondaries to go along with it. Continues to trend towards being a power arm at the next level. 

Will Brick, C/IF, Christian Brothers HS (TN) 
Previous Ranking: 3 (2027 class) | New ranking: 5  

First time I’ve put a “2026” designation next to Brick’s name and admittedly it feels a bit strange. That being said, this reclassification makes a bunch of sense. Brick has nothing left to prove to anyone at the prep level. While this isn’t a prototypical rankings riser, it’s a player jumping ahead a grad year and debuting at #5 on the Top 500, impressive is an understatement. The freshly minted Mississippi State commit is the best high school defensive catching prospect I’ve had the chance to evaluate with a surplus of offensive tools to go right along with it. You are not going to watch a more joyful player on any field than Brick, and if you watch long enough, you’ll come to the realization he is generally the best player on the field as well.

Complete Class of 2027 Rankings With the end of the summer and fall seasons behind us, it was time for a quick refresh of the 2027 class rankings. Below you'll be able to read about some of the biggest risers up the board, led by North Carolina outfielder John Hucko who jumped more than 110 spots to now sit at No. 20 overall.  John Hucko, OF, Charlotte, N.C. Previous Rank: 132 | Current Rank: 20 Hucko makes a huge leap into the top-20 players in the class after a dominating showing in Jupiter. It’s as good of a left-handed swing as you’ll come across with pretty easy impact to all parts. He’s a supreme athlete with all the tools to play center long term and is a present plus runner. Hucko is a name that cemented his prospect status in Jupiter and will be a name to follow for next year’s MLB Draft. Elyjah Mason, SS, Lake Forest, Calif. Previous Rank: 71 |...

2028: Under-the-Radar Names to Know

Joey Cohen
Article Image
2028 Post-Circuit Dive: Under-the-Radar Names to Know One of my favorite parts of the calendar comes after the summer and fall circuits have wrapped, when I can finally sit down, dig through our tournament performance data and uncover some names that may have slipped through the cracks. With hundreds of events on the schedule and thousands of players coming through them, there's inevitably going to be talent that I or even our collective staff haven't given enough attention to. For this exercise, I wanted to isolate a particular offensive profile. I looked for 2028 bats who produced at a high level while keeping their swing-and-miss numbers in check across a sample of at least 50 plate appearances. On the pitching side, the approach was equally straightforward in terms of identifying arms who consistently filled the strike zone while missing bats at a strong clip. Of course, not all...

WWBA Underclass Scout Notes: Days 1-2 | Day 3 | Day 4 Stars Being Stars These are some of the more well-known names on the national landscape, playing across several big events in which they performed at the highest of levels. Their showings in Fort Myers were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them!  Kasen Langerhans (2028, Round Rock, Texas) batted leadoff and stuck at the hot corner for Texas Twelve Red Sox 2028 in Fort Myers. The Texas native has the looks a young left-handed power bat and the swing is built for it. Langerhans produces easy bat speed, delivering a fast and leveraged barrel through the zone. He creates backspin and uses the ground well, really getting into the legs. The infielder has excellent power projection and took comfortable, intentful cuts in the box. Langerhans got the job done at the top of the order...

South Fall World Series Scout Notes

Jay Vossler
Article Image
Kason Mead (2029, Spring, Texas) had a great weekend for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Went 5-9 with a pair of doubles and a home run, driving in five without striking out. Physical frame with a lot more strength on the way. Impressive bat speed that attacks the top of the zone well. Works to all fields consistently and the profile indicates that he’ll be able to build off that with more impact. Lot to like, should be a riser as he goes into his sophomore season. Sterling McCormack (2029, Magnolia, Texas) performed well for Premier Baseball Donato 2029. Reached four times, including a double. Gains ground well on the stride, using his physicality to his advantage as he stays on an uphill plane, geared for slug. Plenty of strength at the point of impact. Landon Hardy (2029, Spring, Texas) had a strong showing for Scorpions Team Easton 2029. Went 4-11 with a double and homer, driving...

Stars Being Stars These are some of the more well-known names on the national landscape, playing across several big events in which they performed at the highest of levels. Their showings in West Palm were simply a continuation of what we've almost come to expect at this point from them!  Kolt Hampton (2030, Chandler, AZ) is a left-handed hitting infielder with present barrel speed and twitch in the turn. Turned around an upper 80s heater that plated two runs in the first inning of the quarterfinals and never looked back. Also got it done on the rubber punching out three and topping out at 86. The number one player in Arizona produced all week and took care of business defensively.  Landen Davis (2030, Beaufort, SC) showed up at the dish this event hitting .500 with four doubles and five RBIs. Stays tight in the turn with present strength and the approach plays to all fields....
