Most Likely To Make a Huge Jump in the Rankings in 2026 Peyton Andrie (2027 3B, Sewell, N.J.) moved up a bit in the recent rankings refresh and will likely keep climbing up the ranks next summer. He hit .389 with 11 extra-base hits and 29 runs batted in over the course of the 2025 PG circuit, with his power tool showing up much more often. He has a good blend of strength and athleticism in the frame with an intriguing bag of tools to pair. Tristan Lucier (2027 OF, Manchester, N.H.) earned a sizable jump in the recent update, and is expected to continue that upward trend next year. The Boston College commit really impressed at the plate this past summer, hitting .361 with 17 extra-base hits and 32 runs batted in over 37 games. He pairs a quick, leveraged stroke with plus speed on the basepaths, making him a versatile bat at the top of any order. He has proven to be effective on the mound...

There’s feel for a breaking ball with vertical depth and ability to throw it for strikes. As a 2028 grad this is one with all of the obvious traits to take a big step forward in the upcoming year and thus a big jump in the rankings to follow.

Class of 2029 Rankings Risers
John McAdams
Class of 2029 National Rankings Electric stuff here from ‘29 RHP Oliver Olson (PA) at the #NEFallChamp. Worked steadily in the 85-88 mph range & peaked at 89; flashed well-tunneled & sharp CB as go-secondary. Huge physical upside; extremely quick arm & tons to dream on here. @PG_Scouting pic.twitter.com/nzhWdrInq2 — PG Mid Atlantic (NY, NJ, PA, MD,DE,DC) (@PGMidAtlantic) October 4, 2025 Oliver Olson, RHP, Perkasie, PA | Pennridge Previous Rank: HF | Current Rank: 68 Olson is an impressive ’29 arm from Pennsylvania that is already peaking in the upper-80s. The 6-foot-3 right-hander moves extremely well down the slope, has tons of present arm speed and immense physical projection that is only going to further his velocity upticks over the next several years. Add-in a feel for pitching, aptitude to spin the baseball and a bulldog mentality, and you have all the...

Most Likely to Make a Huge Jump in the Rankings in 2026 Blake Bader (2027, San Antonio, TX) put together a loud Summer on the circuit out here in Texas where he hit to a 395 average across 16 games played. He also hit 4 home runs and was a threat on the base-paths. Bader is an athletic outfielder who can really hit and power has shown up consistently in his game. He can really lift and launch the ball. It would not be surprising to see Bader make another big jump this coming year. George Scarborough (2027, Lucas, TX) was last seen in the Spring where he worked into the 90-93 range with his fastball topping out at 94. The slider showed good bite to it with feel in the 77-80 range. It’s an athletic 6-foot-4 starter frame with plenty of projection remaining as he continues to add strength and fill out. He moves well down the slope, and the arm works well. It would not be surprising to...

Most Likely to Make a Huge Jump in the Rankings in 2026: Odin Ginader, 2027, RHP, Waxhaw, NC A durable righty with significant upside to his 6-0/180 frame, Ginader is an easy mover on the mound and just starting to tap into his potential. He uses a clean, inline arm path with medium depth to accelerate through a lower-3/4 arm angle as he finishes well over his front side. He generates an upper-80s fastball that has heavy, boring action to the arm side, making it difficult for hitters to elevate the pitch. He works the heater to both side of the plate and blends three off-speed pitches to go with it. Ginader can distinguish his low-70s curve from his mid-70s slider and will drop the changeup on lefthanded hitters. An elite strike-thrower, he logged 46.2 IP in Perfect Game events in ’25 accumulating a 52:15 K:BB ratio and a miniscule 1.05 ERA. With his pitchability, if he makes a...

Most Likely to Make a Huge Jump in the Rankings in 2026: Carter Allen Allen is one of the more projectable arms in the state for ’27 and the arm is loose and whippy. The Carrollton native has already been up to 91 mph and it’s easy to see this velo jumping even more as he fills out the lean 6-foot-3 frame. He’s a name to keep tabs on and should be a riser over the next year if the projection hits. Kolby Martin Martin is my pick to click over the next few months in the ’26 group. He’s a good athlete and there aren’t many switch hitting shortstops with feel to hit in this class on the national level. He’s going to be a name to monitor next spring after putting up great numbers on the summer circuit. Most Likely to Hit .500 in PG Events in 2026: Austin Tamborra It’s always impossible to predict this one but I think...

#Uncommitted Enmanuel Acevedo (‘27, NY) starts w/ a high HS, working into a pronounced LL and a short AA. Got the heater up to 95 (92-94) w/ a run/ride profile. Used a tight spinning SL w/ hz bite to keep hitters off balance. Also flashed a CH. #JrSubwaySeries @pg_scouting… pic.twitter.com/oICs6gpv4r — PG Mid Atlantic (NY, NJ, PA, MD,DE,DC) (@PGMidAtlantic) September 22, 2025 Enmanuel Acevedo, RHP, Class of 2027 Commitment: University of Virginia Acevedo made his pact to the Cavaliers this past week, as they continue to tap into the Northeast for high-end prospects that will make immediate an impact once on campus. The physical, sturdy built right-hander runs it into the mid-90s fairly easy with a some run & ride that misses bats in the zone. He pairs it well with a tight-spinning slider that generates tons of swings-and-misses and...

Updated Class of 2028 National Rankings Ty Madden (28, NJ) Takes the barrel to this ball in the lower half of the zone and smokes it to the pullside gap for a double. Gets the hands off the shoulder in the load and sits into that back hip well. #WWBAWorlds @PGMidAtlantic pic.twitter.com/lNtC0O9e72 — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) September 28, 2025 Ty Madden, OF, Montvale, NJ | Don Bosco Prep Previous Rank: Top 1000 | Current Rank: 74 Ty Madden (Montvale, NJ) shot up the rankings after a big WWBA performance, finding himself at 74 nationally and fourth in New Jersey. Madden possesses table-setting tools, swiping 21 bags on the year while driving in 37, walking significantly more than he struck out. He works from an athletic medium frame with present strength in the lower half, swinging it from the left-side. Madden starts slightly wide and keeps the hands low, getting to a quick...
