Lucien Saint Cyr, INF, Class of 2026
Commitment: Bucknell

Saint Cyr announced his pledge to Bucknell, giving the Bison an interesting blend of present tools and projection. Saint Cyr stands 6-foot-1 and offers room to fill in his medium frame, profiling in the middle infield defensively. The New York product starts wide at the base in the right-handed box, keeping his hands high behind the ear. He works into a subtle outward step load, firing through a compact barrel that showcases bat speed and gap-to-gap impact. For head coach Scott Heather and Bucknell, they land a high-quality Northeast infielder in the ’26 cycle, adding to a class that takes the quality over quantity approach.




Patrick Diaz, INF, Class of 2026
Commitment: Stony Brook

The Seawolves experienced a big recruiting win last week, nabbing corner infielder Patrick Diaz (Bronx, NY) for their 2026 class. Diaz stands 6-foot-2 with present strength in his frame, showcasing loud skills across the board. Defensively, the NYC native works with lateral quickness and soft hands, profiling to stick on the dirt at the next level. He produced throws up to 93 across the diamond, giving him a more-than-adequate arm for the hot corner. At the plate, Diaz starts wide and slightly open at the base while keeping his hands high before working into a simple inward leg load. Diaz has generated exit velocities north of 100 mph with obvious impact to the pull side. Stony Brook remains a mid-major presence in the Northeast and lands a high quality in-state third baseman.

Connor McNally, INF/RHP, Class of 2027
Commitment: Lehigh

Last week, McNally announced his commitment to the Mountain Hawks of Lehigh. McNally, a two-way out of the Garden State, offers an advanced skillset on both sides of the ball. At the plate, McNally has produced exit velocities up to 98, possessing present strength in a medium right-handed frame. He starts wide at the base with high hands, working into an inward toe tap leg load before firing through a heavy barrel. Defensively, McNally profiles at the hot corner and has recorded strong throws across the diamond nearing 90 mph. He has also displayed his arm strength on the mound, working up to 87 with the fastball.

Jose Partida, LHP Class of 2027
College Commitment: Arizona State

Alongside Joshua Priest, we heard Partida make his announcement live to Head Coach Willie Bloomquist and the Arizona State Sun Devils via on Perfect Game's instagram and the duo immediately provided a boost to the class out in Tempe. A long and athletic 6-foot-1, 180 pounds, Partida has been on the national circuit for some time, partaking in the 14u Select Festival back in 2023 where we saw the young left-handers first big jump, going from the low-80s in the early spring to mid- to upper-80s in just a few months. Jump two years and he's continued to make strides, ramping it up to 92 mph this past summer while earning a spot in the All Star Game, though he's more than just a southpaw who throws hard. Thanks to a balanced and repeatable set of mechanics, Partida is able to pound the strike zone with a complete mix, including a changeup that he can turn over with conviction, showing late life that plays well off of a heavy heater. 

Rilen Niclai, SS, Class of 2026
College Commitment: Arizona State

We won't move anywhere for the next college commitment, sticking with Arizona State, but for Niclai's home state we're going to have to log some milage to talk about the young Alaskan. Yep, Alaska. A known name around the baseball world as his older brother Coen came through the circuit two years ago, ultimately going in the 15th round to the Marlins before arriving at the University of Oregon, Rilen doesn't have the longest track record of events (understandably so) but he made the most of every opportunity he had. A long and rangy 6-foot-2, 185-pound shortstop, Niclai showed off his tools at this past summer's National Showcase where he showed plus speed (6.5), plenty of strength with the stick (multiple upper-90s to triple digit exit velocities) and actions in the dirt up the middle that'll serve him well in Tempe. Currently ranked 273, Niclai is the second highest ranked player in the ASU class and their 7th within the top 500, joining the likes of Jet Berry and JC Pacheco as high-end shortstop committed to Head Coach Willie Bloomquist. 

-Jheremy Brown

Joshua Priest, OF, Class of 2027
Commitment: Arizona State

What a grab for the Sun Devils, staying on the west coast and nabbing the current No. 19 ranked player in the country in Priest. Full of quick twitch muscle, Priest is simply tooled up and is coming off a dominant Jupiter playing up a full grade. He hit two towering nukes and played a lockdown center field. He's long been known for his speed and power, a 6.4 runner with buggy bat speed and impact juice that plays to pull and the middle of the field. He can run it down at all three spots, bringing an intense fiery style that is infectious at points. There is vicious intent to his swings and he doesn't get cheated, Priest brings a big time tool set coming to ASU in the 2027 class. 

Tucker Rice, RHP, Class of 2027
Commitment: Alabama 

The Crimson Tide stay in the Deep South and nab a very intriguing arm in Rice. It's a potential starter frame and arsenal that repeats and lives in the zone. He was up to 91 mph at 16u WWBA from a loose three-quarter slot and showing the ability to get out front. There's two different fastballs, a riding four-seam and sinking two-seam with a good slider and changeup to mix. The mover, feel and direction at the age is pretty advanced and should only continue to mature. Rice has the makings to make quite an impact at Alabama.

College Top 25: March 30

Well college baseball fans, we are officially at the half-way point of the 2026 season and what an incredible ride it has already been.  While there is some separation at the top as we start to look at programs that could be potential NCAA tournament hosts, things continue to change as clubs revitalize their seasons by winning massive series in league play.  The Top 25 seems to be getting more volatile as we reach the midway point, and the second half is setting up to be something special.  The one thing that will remain the same as it has for a month now, is that the UCLA (25-2) will still be the No. 1 team in the nation.  The Bruins are winners of 19-consecutive games and have started off Big Ten league play by sweeping 4-straight series.  The Texas Longhorns (23-4) hold tight at No. 2 this week after sweeping previous No. 11 Oklahoma (19-8) and sit atop the...

High School Notebook: March 27

Hudson December (2027, Woodland Hills, Calif.) showed flashes of his upside despite a somewhat uneven three-inning outing. The 6-foot-2, 170-pound right-hander struck out three while working through a couple of tough jams, though his command was inconsistent at times. He ran his fastball up to 87 mph on a pair of occasions and generally sat in the 83–85 range. He mixed in an upper-70s slider with varying shape and execution where it was most effective when thrown with proper intent, showing shorter, tighter depth. He also flashed a changeup against a few left-handed hitters. Mechanically, there’s a blend of positives and areas for development. He incorporates his lower half fairly well and moves down the mound with some pace and intent. The arm is quick, though it can be late getting up at times, and his taller finish limits full torso extension through release. With...

Another strong week of Juco baseball for teams in our Top 25, and as you may see, our field is the same from a week prior with each and every team handling business in their weekend sets to hold fast to their spots on the board. Some notable movement though inside the Top 5 with Gaston jumping up to number 2 after a 33-2 start to the 2026 season as well Cloud County cracking the Top 15 for the first time all year. Looking forward to watching conference play around the country as we approach the final stretch of the regular season. Rk.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 25

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Every preseason, analysts and voters pour enormous effort into ranking the small college baseball landscape — poring over returning rosters, transfer additions, coaching changes, and historical trends to assemble the most accurate picture they can of who will be contending when the postseason arrives. And most years, they get it largely right. But the nature of college baseball, with its massive rosters, unpredictable development arcs, and ever-churning transfer portal, guarantees that a handful of genuinely elite programs will slip through the cracks every spring. A team loses too many seniors. A key transfer hasn’t yet suited up. A new coaching staff hasn’t had the chance to prove itself. The voters see the question marks and leave the blank space, and then the season begins and the blank space starts filling itself in — loudly. As the 2026 season heads into its...

College Players of the Week: March 24

March 24th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Quinton Coats, IF, Cincinnati The Cincinnati Bearcats (19-7) are on the cusp of the Top 25 and are playing their best ball of the season. The offense has been the driving force behind their success, and it has been incredibly consistent having averaged 8.5-runs per game. In the middle of it all, Quinton Coats, is on pace for a historic season both within the program and on a national level. The 6-3/225 infielder from Olathe, KS has been launching home runs at a record pace and opponents seem to be powerless to stop his onslaught. With incredible strength in his hands, Coats creates easy loft and in 5 road games last week he collected 9 hits in 20 at-bats, with 4 home runs, 9 runs scored, and he drove in a total of 9 runs as well. As for his pursuit of history, the modern day BBCOR bat standard single season home run record is 34, set back in...

The Georgia native possesses tremendous upside on the mound, working from a long and lean right-handed frame that displays projection and athleticism. Jones starts over the face before working to the belt and into a higher pronounced leg lift. He fires down the mound via a standard-length arm action and high three-quarters slot. Chubb’s fastball/slider combination and feel for the zone, with the heater showcasing run/ride traits and power into the high-90s....

Time flies when you are having fun and the fact that we are almost to the halfway point of the 2026 season, proves just how entertaining things have been to this point. In what was an ultra-impactful week on the national landscape, there are some clubs fading out of the limelight while others are emerging from the shadows and showing they are a force to be reconned with. Conference play always makes the big picture come into view and we are now getting a feel for who the true contenders may be as the grind begins. The UCLA Bruins (21-2) keep their stranglehold on the top spot in the land as they remain unchallenged since the start of Big Ten play and finished the week with a (4-0) record. The Texas Longhorns (20-3) did lose back-to-back games this week but showed their resilience by winning an intense road series against now No. 7 Auburn (19-4). Georgia Tech (19-5) also had a (2-2) week...

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....
