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.

2026 Draft Board: Top 300

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
The 2026 MLB Draft class is shaping up to be one of the better in recent memory and, potentially, the best class in the last decade. It’s led by UCLA superstar shortstop Roch Cholowsky, a true five-tool prospect who’s the early favorite for 1:1. One of the most popular pieces of industry feedback when constructing this list was some variation of “Roch is too low” or “go up on Roch” and he’s the best college prospect since 2019 when Adley Rutschman (Oregon State, Orioles) was the consensus No. 1 prospect. Similarly to 2019, there’s a superstar Texas prep shortstop at No. 2, in 2019 it was Bobby Witt Jr. (Colleyville Heritage, Royals) and this year it’s Grady Emerson. Both Emerson and Alabama’s Justin Lebron would have been solid 1:1 candidates in years where Roch Cholowsky is not eligible and both have All-Star potential....

JUCO Top 25: March 18

Blaine Peterson

This week brings a new top team to the rankings as Johnson County (KS), on the strength of 10 consecutive wins and a 26-2 record, claims the overall number 1 spot. The Cavaliers have made 3 consecutive trips to the JUCO World Series and have the talent to make it back there again this spring. Florida Southwestern and Chipola have seemingly separated themselves as the most consistent teams in Florida. Welcome to the top 5 to the Gaston Rhinos who will be one of the first teams to 30 wins this spring. Pearl River stays as the top NJCAA D2 team and Fresno City stays as the top Juco team in California; both are coming off undefeated 2 week stretches. Welcome back to the top 25 to John A. Logan who is now 20-7 overall and have played one of the toughest schedules of anyone. And for the first time in several years welcome to the top 25 to the College of Southern Idaho, the Golden Eagles have...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 18

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
In every major sport, the championship is decided in the postseason. You can lose games all year, get hot at the right time, and walk away with the hardware. The regular season is a rehearsal. The playoffs are the show.  The championship belt changes that. Borrowed from professional wrestling, boxing and ultimate fighting, the belt travels the moment the holder loses — no brackets, no seeding, no second chances. A random Tuesday non-conference game in Milledgeville, Georgia  becomes a title fight. A spring trip to Florida becomes a gauntlet. The defending national champion can lose the belt before February is over.  We’re tracking three belts this season — NCAA Division II, NAIA, and NCAA Division III — each starting with the defending national champion. The results have been exactly as chaotic as you’d expect.  Worth noting along the...

High School Top 50 Update: March 17

Tyler Russo
Article Image
We have another update to the National Top-50 after two weeks of even more games being played in the southern states along with seasons just starting to kick off across the country. We’re quickly approaching another stellar high school event, the NHSI in Cary, and with that will come even more movement in these rankings. St. John Bosco (CA) continues to hold firm at the No. 1 position after a 4-0 start to their season. Venice (FL) has been rolling throughout the early portion of the year and jumps up to No. 2 in the country. One of the biggest movers in this update is The Bennett School (TX) jumping from unranked to No. 8 in the country after beating a handful of top ranked programs to start the year. Some other big movers inside the top-10 are Barbe (LA), who jumps from No. 18 to No. 5 in this update as well as Aledo (TX) who jumps from No. 20 to No. 9. The rest of the top-10...

College Players of the Week: March 17

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
March 17th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (17-3) came into the season with the highest external expectations in decades based on the anticipation of their offensive potential. To this point they have not only met those lofty expectations, but twenty games in they may have exceeded them. While there are plenty of high-level prospects up and down the lineup, with all that star power Vahn Lackey has stood out. Sure to be one of the first catchers selected in this year’s MLB Draft with his comprehensive skillset, he projects well as an everyday backstop at the next level. However, his overall athleticism stands out as we saw this week when he had a game where he played every defensive position on the field except pitcher. At the plate over four games including a series victory at Clemson last week, he went 9 for 15, scoring...

College Top 25: March 16

Vincent Cervino

Collegiate Player Report Database As each week of the college baseball season passes, we continue to be entertained at an incredible level with high level drama at every turn.  Conference play is under way and the national landscape is starting to make a bit more sense.  The development and strength of individual players is on full-display and there continue to be upsets on occasion that sends the message no team can relax for one moment.  For the most part, the Top 10 remains unchanged with some reshuffling as No. 1 UCLA (17-2) holds on to the top spot with yet another perfect (4-0) week after sweeping Michigan.  The No. 2 Texas Longhorns (18-1) did drop their first game of the season in Game 1 of SEC play but won the series against Ole Miss and finished the week with a (3-1) record.  The Georgia Tech Yellowjackets (17-3) passed their first real road test of the...

PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
PG Draft: Under the Radar Preps As the spring season gets underway, the showcase circuit and early high-level tournaments have already provided our scouts with some intriguing first looks at this year’s crop of prospects. At the same time, we’ve been tracking the buzz among team evaluators, listening closely to the names that keep coming up in conversations and the players clubs are making sure they get eyes on this spring. Every year, a handful of prospects quietly slip beneath the radar during the fall and winter months, only to reemerge once the games start counting again. Sometimes it’s the result of a productive offseason in the weight room, a noticeable jump in velocity, or a step forward in skill development. Other times, it’s simply a player finally getting the opportunity and the stage to show what’s been building behind the scenes. The spring has a...
