2026 Top High School Draft Prospects
With the summer circuit in swing and Aug. 1 now here, it’s time to update our rankings of the top 100 players in the 2026 class.
It’s a strong high school class with a lot of talent in the middle of the field, especially at shortstop. Some of those shortstops will eventually move off the position in pro ball after the 2026 MLB Draft, but eight of the top 15 prospects in the class are shortstops.
Now that Aug. 1 has arrived, college coaches are able to contact and make offers to recruits in the 2026 class. The NCAA rule changes implemented last year prevent coaches from speaking with players prior to Aug. 1 of their junior year, so it will be a busy time for both players and college coaches.
Prior to the rule changes in 2023, several of the top 100 players in the country had already made their college commitments. While there’s a lot of talent still on the board, Stanford is leading the way with seven recruits ranked in the top 100, the most of any school.
Below are our rankings and scouting reports of the top 100 high school prospects in the 2026 MLB Draft class.
