College Baseball Recruiting Buzz: 8 More Standout Classes For 2027, Top Uncommitted Players

Arkansas

Arkansas’ 2027 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of its best in recent years, including seven top 100 players and quality depth beyond them.

The top hitter committed to the Razorbacks is Matt Meeker (No. 34), an outfielder/first baseman from Iowa. Meeker is 6-foot-5, 225 pounds, a massive lefthanded hitter with power to match. There are strikeouts that accompany that power, but it’s a good swing and his power stacks up among the best in the country.

He’s joined by infielder Bear Calvo from California (No. 39) who hits with good rhythm, balance and timing from the right side of the plate. Calvo’s stroke is short and quick with good barrel control, an all-fields approach and a hit-over-power game. He’s an offensive-minded infielder who could fit at second or third base at the next level. 

Righthander Logen Doran (No. 37) keeps the pipeline of talent flowing from Hawaii to Arkansas. He’s 6-foot-4, 165 pounds, a gangly build with lots of room to add weight and build on a fastball that’s already reaching 94 mph. Doran is a long-limbed pitcher but with a compact arm action, sound delivery and starter traits. He shows feel to multiple offspeed pitches, including a slider into the low 80s with good depth and a heavy changeup.

Lefthander Jake Ivey (No. 48) from Texas is 6-foot-3, 205 pounds and gets great extension on a fastball that touches 92 mph. He threw strikes at a high clip this summer with both his fastball and slider that has two-plane depth and should continue to be a swing-and-miss pitch in college.

Righthander Brennan New (No. 74) is 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, young for the class and, while he’s still learning to dial in strikes more consistently, he has significant physical projection remaining to add to a fastball that touches 92 mph. His curveball has sharp bite to project as a swing-and-miss pitch at the next level. 

CJ Wall (No. 96) is an offensive-minded catcher who has compiled an impressive track record of game performance. He has an extremely patient approach to get into favorable counts, draw a lot of walks and he makes frequent contact in a hit-over-power game.

Hayes Maginnis (No. 99) from Georgia is a shortstop/righthander at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds with a patient offensive approach and a high-contact righthanded hitter with gap power, average speed and a strong arm. His future in college could be in the infield or on the mound, where he throws a lively, riding fastball up to 93 mph, an advanced changeup that has heavy drop to miss bats and a curveball he shows feel to spin. 

Charlie Sarsfield from Iowa is a speedy, athletic center fielder. At 5-foot-10, 170 pounds, Sarsfield is a lefthanded hitter coming off a strong fall at the plate, using a compact swing and good swing decisions to get on base at a high clip with gap power.

Conor Rae (Arizona) is an above-average runner with a strong arm who has experience both in the infield and outfield. A righthanded hitter, Rae is 6-foot-1, 170 pounds, has a good sense of the strike zone and stays through the middle of the field with gap power that should tick up as he fills out given his bat speed.

Texas third baseman Levi Leathers is one of the youngest players in the 2027 class, but he stands out physically already at 6-foot-4, 210 pounds. He’s a righthanded hitter with strong hands and a chance to grow into big power. Shortstop Cole Flashnick (Texas) is a lefthanded hitter with good sequence and timing at the plate. He has a strong offensive track record with good bat-to-ball skills and gap power.

Shortstop Nathaniel Sabino (Florida) is 5-foot-10, 160 pounds coming off a strong fall. He’s a switch-hitter whose sound lefthanded swing stands out with a line-drive approach and a hit-over-power offensive game. He projects to stick in the middle infield, where his hands and feet work well. 

Righthander Kam Smith (Kansas) is a high-level strike thrower with more physical projection remaining in his 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame to fill out and build on a fastball that touches 90 mph. He has a sound delivery, pitches to both sides of the plate with his fastball and has good control of his entire arsenal, including a high-spin breaking ball that’s his best secondary pitch and projects to continue to be a swing-and-miss offering at the next level. He’s the son of former major league righthander Dan Smith.

Lukas Stirewalt is a lefty from Florida with a highly projectable frame (6-foot-4, 185 pounds) and a good delivery.  There should be a lot more velocity in the tank to add to a fastball that reaches 90 mph and could eventually get into the mid 90s or better.

Brody Coxen (California) is another tall lefty (6-foot-6, 205 pounds) who touches 90 mph with more on the way. Coxen shows some feel to spin a curveball, but he pitches predominantly off his fastball, a pitch that comes out of his hand with steep downhill angle from his high arm slot.

Jake Jenkins is a 6-foot-3, 210-pound lefty from Texas who pitches off a fastball up to 89 mph with good armside run from a tough angle out of his crossfire delivery. His feel for a changeup with good fading action is advanced for his age.

Mississippi State

New head coach Brian O’Connor is making an impact at Mississippi State before he coaches his first game for the Bulldogs. Mississippi State pulled in multiple top recruits for 2026 last week with commitments from Will Brick (the No. 1 catcher in the class) and shortstop Rocco Maniscalco, a top 100 draft prospect. The Bulldogs also added Jake Carbaugh, one of the top righthanders in the 2026 class. Both Brick and Maniscalco were originally 2027s who reclassified to become 2026, but even with those players no longer in the 2027 class, the Bulldogs are still off to a strong start for their 2027 commits.

Mississippi State has two elite players committed for 2027 with outfielder/lefthander Kyler Meccage (No. 7) and lefthander Connor Salerno (No. 11). Meccage is a pure hitter from the left side of the plate with a smooth, adjustable swing, excellent barrel control and a knack for being on time. He drives the ball well to the opposite-field gap with a mature, professional approach and the strength projection in his lean 6-foot-2 frame for more of his doubles to start flying over the fence as he fills out. 

If Salerno gets to campus, he has the look of a dominant starter. He’s 6-foot-4, 225 pounds and his stuff got better as the year progressed, running his fastball up to 97 mph and pairing it with a sharp slider that generated a ton of empty swings. His pitchability is advanced beyond his years, something he showed with arguably the most dominant performance of any 2027 pitcher across the summer circuit. 

Mississippi State also secured commitments from two of the top three Mississippi high school players with a pair of big bats, first baseman/outfielder Deuce Jenkins (No. 29) and third baseman/first baseman Sullivan Reed (No. 54).

The son of Justin Jenkins, a former Mississippi State wide receiver, Deuce is 6-foot-1, 210 pounds, a lefthanded hitter who stands out for his strength and could grow into plus raw power. Jenkins does it from a compact swing that stays inside the ball, enabling him to make frequent contact and stay through the middle of the field. He has a lot of experience at first base but moves surprisingly well for his size as an average runner, so he could spend time in left field. Reed is 6-foot-2, 220 pounds, a righthanded hitter with huge bat speed and power that grades out among the best in the 2027 class.

Outfielder Devlan Daniel (No. 59) from Ohio is 6 feet, 215 pounds whose athleticism is evident as a standout running back. He’s a switch-hitter with high-end bat speed and a strong arm, likely in an outfield corner spot at the collegiate level. 

Righthander/outfielder RJ Shields has a strong 6-foot-1, 215-pound build and put together multiple strong outings in the fall on the mound. He gets deep into his legs in his delivery to run his fastball up to 95 mph, complementing it with a slider that has good depth and tilt when it’s at its best to miss bats. Shields is a corner outfielder with the arm strength for right field, though with the uptick in his stuff, his long-term future could be on the mound.

Catcher Carson Kinnick from California has the tools to stick at the position. He’s a lefthanded hitter with a compact swing who moves around well behind the plate, is an advanced blocker and cuts his pop times under 2.0 seconds on his best throws.

An in-state recruit, third baseman Fischer Howell is 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, a physical frame with more room to fill out. He’s a switch-hitter with a high-contact bat, setting up with an open stance from the left side and a more squared off stance as a righthanded hitter with the bat speed to project bigger power to come.

Clemson

Clemson’s 2027 recruiting class is off to an outstanding strong start and one of the best in the ACC. It got even better this week with a commitment from Chubb Jones Jr., a righthander/shortstop from Georgia who is the No. 5 player in the class. Jones stands out especially on the mound.

He’s 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, an excellent athlete with a fast, whippy arm that already helps him register fastballs up to 97 mph. Between his arm speed and room to fill out his lean, long-limbed build, Jones looks like he’s going to throw north of 100 mph one day. He complements his fastball with a high-spin slider that has two-plane depth at its best to help him miss bats. He’s still learning to throw consistent strikes, but his delivery works well and his athleticism should help him make adjustments.

As a position player, Jones is a plus runner with the athleticism and obvious arm strength for shortstop and the physical upside to grow into significant righthanded power. 

The Tigers have two top 15 players in the class committed with Jones and righthander Logan Bristol (No. 12) from Florida. Bristol is 6-foot-3, 215 pounds and had a dominant summer. His fastball reaches 96 mph, he throws strikes with it at a high clip and can attack hitters on the inside part of the plate in a way that most hitters his age aren’t able to do yet. His sharp, low-80s slider has the two-plane depth and lateral break that racked up an enormous amount of swinging strikes throughout the travel circuit.

Bristol is the headliner, but the Tigers also have a pair of promising lefties committed for 2027. One is Griffin McKain (No. 50), who also has experience in the outfield, but his upside looks highest on the mound. There are other prominent pitchers in the class who have more present velocity than McKain, who tops out at 89 mph, but McKain is young for the class, has significant room to add strength to his 6-foot-3, 180-pound frame and advanced ability to manipulate his secondary pitches, including a big-breaking curveball and an effective changeup.

Lefthander Cole Cinnamond (No. 61) from Virginia is more physically mature than McKain at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds and can run his fastball to 94 mph. He’s still learning to dial it in the zone with more consistency, but it’s a power arm from the left side with a slider that’s his most advanced secondary pitch. 

Clemson’s top position player commit is Caden Borcherding (No. 66), a catcher from Georgia who checks a lot of boxes scouts look for behind the plate. He’s loose, flexible and agile, is an advanced receiver and has solid arm strength that should continue ticking up and already plays well in game because of his excellent exchange, enabling to record pop times of 1.9 seconds on his best throws. He’s an aggressive righthanded hitter who performed well offensively on the travel circuit with a hit-over-power game. 

Righthander Gray Davis from Kentucky is 6-foot-1, 195 pounds with good control of a fastball that touches 92 mph with lively armside run. Gray pitches heavily off that fastball, but he shows feel for multiple secondary pitches that miss bats, including a slider with good depth and lateral break as well as a heavy changeup, giving him a starter look.

Outfielder Vaughan Steinert (New York) is a lefthanded hitter with a power-over-hit offensive game and a swing geared to lift the ball in the air to his pull side

Florida State

Florida State has built an impressive class mostly recruiting in the talent-rich state of Florida. The headliner is the No. 5 player in the country, shortstop Chase Fuller, who has been a Seminoles commit for nearly three years and is the son of Corey Fuller, the former Florida State and NFL defensive back. Fuller is athletic, powerful and explosive at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds with a blend of strength and bat speed to produce some of the best power in the country. He’s a future middle-of-the-lineup hitter who can play on the left side of the infield if he gets to Florida State, though his skill set will get him plenty of interest from MLB teams as the draft nears.

With Will Brick reclassifying to the 2026 class, the top catcher for 2027 now is Dariel Carrion (No. 41) from Puerto Rico. Carrion turned 16 in August, so he’s one of the younger players in the class, but he’s physically mature for his age at 5-foot-10, 210 pounds and stings the ball for hard contact from the right side of the plate with an aggressive approach. His above-average arm is one of the strongest in the class and could be a plus to plus-plus tool in the near future.

Florida State’s class also has two of the better pitchers in the country with righthander Hunter Wieckowski (No. 36) and Tristan MacPherson (No. 63).

Wieckowski has lots of arrows pointing in the right direction with a starter look. He’s 6-foot-3, 190 pounds and throws strikes with a fastball that touches 92 mph and should grow into mid-90s velocity as he fills out. Wieckowski has feel for multiple secondary weapons, including a high-spin slider and a heavy changeup that both have above-average potential.

MacPherson is 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, has a good delivery and touches 93 mph with a riding fastball that misses bats up in the zone. MacPherson shows feel to spin his breaking stuff too, but he pitches heavily off his fastball for most of his success. 

Another big arm committed to Florida State, righthander Matt Werner, is 6-foot-6, 215 pounds and pitches off a fastball that touches 92 mph with downhill plane, mixing in a low-80s slider, a big-breaking curveball and an occasional changeup.

Juan Diaz is a 6-foot, 180-pound shortstop with good bat-to-ball skills from both sides of the plate. It’s a short, simple and direct swing, especially from the left side of the plate, with good bat control and a line-drive, all-fields approach with gap power. He’s a plus runner who projects to stick in the dirt.

Catcher Jameson Moan is a 6-foot, 185-pound catcher with a patient approach and has shown good contact skills on the travel circuit to go with a strong arm.

Jace Riggan is a righthander/shortstop who is 6-foot-2, 185 pounds with some funkiness to his mechanics and a fastball up to 92 mph with carry from his high slot. He has feel for an upper-70s to low-80s slider he can manipulate shapes on and is the pitch that gets most of his swinging strikes. Riggan is a solid-average runner with the arm strength for the left side of the infield, though his future could end up more on the mound at the next level.

Preston Matricardi has experience both as an outfielder and on the mound. He’s a 6-foot-1 lefty who pitches heavily off a fastball that’s up to 91 mph and shows feel for a changeup. 

TCU

Under the old recruiting rules, TCU received early commits from a trio of players who have continued to stand out among the better prospects for 2027.

That includes Cooper Goff, a Utah outfielder and No. 10 player in the class. Goff consistently produced at a high level on the travel circuit this year using a loose, easy lefthanded swing that produces surprising power with minimal effort from his 6-foot, 175-pound frame. He’s likely a corner outfielder at the next level who could eventually hit in the middle of the lineup for the Horned Frogs. 

So could outfielder/lefthander Jake Turner (No. 38), Goff’s travel ball teammate with the Wow Factor National team. Turner, who is from Nevada, is 6-foot-3, 200 pounds with vicious bat speed. It’s some of the best raw power in the country in the 2027 class and it could develop into a plus-plus tool. Turner has a strong arm from right field and on the mound, where he can dial it up to 94 mph and could be in the upper 90s eventually. 

Shortstop Blake Ragsdale (No. 28) from Illinois sticks out right away for his smooth actions and athleticism at shortstop. He’s quick, agile and light on his feet, moving around the position with ease and a strong arm. Ragsdale’s glove stands out the most right now, but he’s a righthanded hitter with a solid swing, quick hands and is also one of the younger players in the class. 

Righthander Andrew Carlson (No. 80) gives TCU a fourth top 100 recruit. He’s a strong 6-foot-3, 225 pounds with an easy delivery that he repeats well to throw a lot of strikes with a fastball up to 93 mph. It’s a starter package with his four-pitch mix including a slider, curveball and a changeup. 

Lefthander Cooper Stevenson out of California is 6-foot-7, 195 pounds, a tall, gangly build that screams projection. For a 17-year-old pitcher with his extra-long limbs, Stevenson has surprisingly good body control from a sound delivery. He’s an athletic mover, gets down the mound well to generate good extension and repeats his mechanics fairly well to throw strikes with a fastball that’s up to 89 mph and has significantly more still to come once he packs on another 30-plus pounds. He throws a mid-to-upper 70s curveball and a changeup, with his fastball his predominant pitch right now. 

James Benson is a 6-foot-8, 220-pound lefthander from Illinois who drops down to throw from a low three-quarters slot. It’s a huge frame, and while his fastball is only into the mid 80s, he stands out for his ability to manipulate multiple secondary pitches to miss bats, something he showed at the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla. last month by striking out 10 in 4.2 innings. Benson shows feel to spin a low-to-mid 70s curveball and for his mid-70s changeup, making him an intriguing sleeper to watch if the fastball velocity cranks up. 

At 6 feet, 165 pounds, Tate Belfanti (California) is a slender-framed lefty with a fastball that touches 89 mph. The separator for Belfanti is a nasty changeup. It’s a heavy changeup with a lot of wiggle and often 10-12 mph off his fastball, coming from a high slot with some funk to his delivery that gives hitters and an even more difficult look. Belfanti has a curveball too but it’s his changeup in particular that consistently disrupts timing and gets off-balance swings. 

As good as Belfanti’s changeup is, righthander Liam Radke (Nevada) throws a changeup that might be even better. Radke is 6 feet, 175 pounds with a fastball that touches 91 mph and shows feel to spin a breaking ball, but his devastating changeup is his bread and butter. His changeup has a ton of wiggle, coming in with more than 10 mph of separation off his fastball with excellent fade and late dive. It’s a swing-and-miss pitch against both lefties and righties and should continue to work that way against college hitters. 

Righthander Cole Dunlap (Oklahoma) is 5-foot-10, 200 pounds, a strong, physically mature build for his age with a fastball up to 94 mph from his high arm slot. He backs it up with a power slider in the low-to-mid 80s with hard, sharp bite to miss bats.

Righthander Kayden Lambson (Utah) fills the strike zone with a fastball that touches 90 mph and should add considerable velocity as he fills out his lean 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame that has good physical projection remaining. Lambson throws a sharp curveball with good depth and has a solid changeup for his age, with his breaking ball the most advanced of his secondary stuff.

Righthander Matt Ritchie (Illinois) has significant physical projection left to fill out his 6-foot-3, 175-pound frame and add more velocity to a fastball that scrapes 90 mph. He has a good delivery and shows feel to spin a slider with two-plane depth.

Righthander Brady Hicks from Iowa stands out for his size (6-foot-5, 200 pounds) and a fastball that touches 91 mph. He should eventually grow into mid-90s velocity and throws a slider into the low 80s that’s his best secondary pitch. 

Joe Mendazona Jr. from Oregon has the tools to catch at the next level with a strong arm and the ability to get his pop times under 2.0 seconds on his best throws. He’s a lefthanded hitter with a patient approach who recognizes breaking stuff well and has quick hands with projectable power as he fills out his 6-foot-3, 190-pound frame.

Cameron Miller has intriguing two-way talent out of Missouri. An infielder and righthander, Miller has a high-waist 6-foot-4, 170-pound frame, a loose arm and good operation on the mound. His fastball is up to 89 mph now with lots of physical upside remaining and he shows feel to spin a slider with two-plane depth. He has the tools to handle third base at the next level with a solid righthanded swing and potential to add to his doubles power once he layers on more strength.

Tanner Brown (California) is a 6-foot, 170-pound lefthanded outfielder with a good sense of the strike zone and an accurate barrel. It’s a line-drive approach with the ability to go with where the ball is pitched and use the opposite field.

Kevin Comblo (New York) is a catcher with a strong build at 6-foot-2, 200 pounds and packs a punch behind his righthanded swing. He’s flexible behind the dish with advanced receiving skills to help steal strikes for his pitchers. 

Texas

Texas has five top 100 players committed from the 2027 class. It’s a group led by righthander Grant Sperandio, an in-state recruit and the No. 24 player in the country. Sperandio is an athletic 6-foot-2, 195 pounds with a power fastball that touches 95 mph. His curveball is a high spin pitch with good depth that has the traits to develop into a swing-and-miss pitch for him at the next level. 

Cooper Vais (No. 62) is an athletic righthander from Colorado who is 6 feet, 180 pounds and was one of the most prolific swing-and-miss pitchers on the travel circuit this year. It’s a short stride, a fast arm and a fastball up to 92 mph with cutting action for Vais, but his best pitch is his high-spin slider. He mixes in his slider liberally, often throwing it just as much as his fastball. He throws both for strikes and piles up empty swings. 

California righthander J. Beckett Berg (No. 75) gives Texas a third pitcher in the top 100. Berg has a good mix of starter traits and physical projection remaining in his lanky 6-foot-5, 195-pound frame. He throws all of his pitches for strikes, working off a fastball that touches 92 mph and should be into the mid 90s in the near future. He throws a changeup that’s advanced for his age with good fade and a short-breaking slider into the low 80s. 

Outfielder Luke Gladchuk (No. 78) is an in-state recruit with a high-contact bat. He’s a lefty with a short, tight swing that stays inside the ball. He’s one of the most difficult hitters in the country to strike out, using an all-fields approach with gap power. He’s a center fielder with average speed and a strong arm.

Outfielder Ira Rootman (No. 83) from California is a lean, athletic 6-foot-2, 180 pounds with a quick, balanced swing from the right side. He’s a plus runner in center field who makes hard contact with the physical projection for more of his doubles to start turning into home runs as he continues to layer on strength. 

Selvin Garrett is an in-state commit who is a bouncy, athletic shortstop who projects to stick at the position. A defensive-oriented player, he’s an instinctive fielder with nimble footwork, fluid actions and a quick release.

Shortstop Hank Rippy (Texas) has a lean, rangy build (6-foot-2, 185 pounds) with significant physical projection remaining. He’s a lefthanded hitter who gets his handsy swing started with no stride, takes an aggressive approach with some swing-and-miss to his game but makes hard contact when he connects and should grow into bigger power once he fills out.

Catcher Lee Holt (Georgia) is 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, a frame with room to pack on more good weight and add to what’s already high-end power for his age. There’s some length to his swing and an aggressive approach, so his power comes with some strikeouts, but it’s fast bat speed and some of the better righthanded power in the country.

Outfielder JJ Utash (New Mexico) is a physical righthanded hitter with big raw power. He’s 6-foot-4, 205 pounds with a fast bat and the ability to launch deep blasts to his pull side in BP. It’s an aggressive approach and that power comes with swing-and-miss tendencies, but it can be loud, long contact when he’s on the barrel. Utash is a corner outfielder who moves well for his size with above-average speed underway.

Hudson Holt is a third baseman/outfielder from Texas who performed at a high level on the travel circuit this year. He’s 6-foot-2, 185 pounds with a simple lower half move to the ball, and while he’s still learning to recognize spin, he rotates well and makes hard contact. He’s an average runner with a plus arm that would fit at third base or in right field.

Catcher Matthew “Chubs” Fernandez (Florida) is a patient righthanded hitter who got on base at a high clip this summer. He’s 5-foot-11, 175 pounds with a contact-oriented approach and gap power. 

Righthander Ryder Renfro is an in-state recruit with starter traits, a good combination of physical projection, stuff and pitchability. Renfro is a good strike-thrower, pitching off a fastball that touches 92 mph and has more on the way once he fills out his lean 6-foot-3, 195-pound build. He has feel to spin both his curveball and slider, with his slider likely the bigger swing-and-miss pitch against more advanced hitters, along with a changeup that has good drop. 

On the mound, the Longhorns have a commitment from Iowa lefthander Hayden Anderson, who is 6-foot-6, 215 pounds and sits in the mid 80s with a fastball that hits 89 mph. Like a lot of young pitchers his size, he’s still learning to sync up everything in his delivery to throw consistent strikes, but he’s able to miss bats with a sweeping slider in the mid 70s from his low three-quarters slot.

Mason Sims (California) is a 5-foot-11, 175-pound lefty is a strike-thrower with a fastball that touches 90 mph. There’s some funkiness to his delivery that adds deception from his low three-quarters slot and shows feel to spin a breaking ball. 

Auburn

Auburn is establishing a strong class for 2027 built around players with a high likelihood of getting to campus. The best pro prospect in the group might be Owen Burnes, a lefthander from Massachusetts who recently reclassified from the 2028 class to become a 2027. Burnes just turned 16 in September, so he’s ultra young for the class but is already 6-foot-3, 210 pounds with a simple delivery and a fastball up to 91 mph. It’s a good foundation for a young lefty, but the separator for Burnes is his ability to spin a tight curveball with outstanding spin as well as a slider in the low-to-mid 80s. 

KJ Anderson (No. 73) from Tennessee has been one of the top on-base threats among catchers on the travel circuit. He’s a lefthanded hitter with a patient plan in the box, working himself into favorable counts and drawing plenty of walks. Anderson has fast bat speed and shows his power when he gets off his A swing. Anderson runs well for a catcher who could flex between catching and an outfield corner spot if needed. 

First baseman Frank Thomas III (No. 81) will follow in the footsteps of his father, Hall of Famer Frank Thomas, as an Auburn commit. He’s 6-foot-2, 205 pounds with a hit-over-power game and an all-fields approach from the left side. He’s an athletic mover at first base and advanced defender at the position for his age with smooth actions. 

While Anderson and Thomas are skillful players, Brennan Neal (No. 86) from Georgia packs a loud, explosive tool set. He’s 6-foot-3, 190 pounds and fires his hands through quickly with high-end bat speed and the potential to grow into above-average raw power, possibly with a power-over-hit profile from the right side of the plate. He’s a plus runner and a good athlete with experience both at shortstop and the outfield. 

Righthander Brodie Wilson from Alabama has seen his stuff trend up this fall. After pitching with a riding fastball that was topping out at 91 mph this summer, Wilson dialed it up to 94 mph last month at the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla. At 6-foot-3, 195 pounds, he has a lean, projectable frame that points to another gear of velocity on the way. Wilson will need to throw more strikes, but he complements his fastball with a short, tight slider he shows feel to spin to get underneath bats.

Another in-state recruit on the mound, righthander Boston Brown, has a starter look with his four-pitch mix and ability to throw strikes at a high clip. He pitches off a fastball that’s up to 92 mph, working in two distinct breaking balls with a big-breaking curveball in the low 70s and a slider in the upper 70s to low 80s. Both pitches can miss bats at this level, though his slider might be the better swing-and-miss pitch long term. Brown flashes feel for a changeup that has good sink and fade at its best, giving him multiple weapons to keep hitters guessing. 

Lefthander Cooper Jones (South Carolina) is 5-foot-10, 175 pounds with a fastball that parks in the upper 80s and touches 91 mph from his low three-quarters slot. He pairs it with a mid-to-upper 70s slider that’s his best pitch.

Righthander Alex Wise (Florida) is a slender 6-foot-1, 155 pounds with a high-energy delivery and a fastball he can run up to 92 mph from his high slot. He’s still learning to repeat his mechanics to throw more strikes, but he can miss bats with a hard, sharp curveball he has feel to spin with tight bite. 

Third baseman Connor Greb (Alabama) is a 6-foot, 190-pound lefthanded hitter who has shown good bat-to-ball skills on the summer circuit with gap power.

Max Rogozinski from Georgia is an athletic shortstop who is young for the class. At 6 feet, 180 pounds, Rogozinski is an above-average runner with a strong arm—he has been up to 91 mph on the mound—with an aggressive righthanded swing and approach from the right side of the plate.

Another Georgia infielder, Collin Thomas, stands out for his glove at shortstop. At 5-foot-9, 165 pounds, Thomas is an athletic, defensive-oriented shortstop with above-average speed, quick footwork, good range and a strong arm. 

Florida

With six commits for 2027, Florida’s class isn’t as large as the other schools on this list, but there is a solid core intact built almost all around players from Florida. It’s a group that includes lefthander Rylan McMahan, an in-state recruit who has been a Gators commit for nearly two years since the old rules and is the No. 30 player in the class. McMahan is 6-foot-2, 180 pounds with room to add more weight and add to a fastball that has reached 94 mph. His curveball and slider both have tight spin and rotation, giving him stuff that should continue to rack up empty swings at the next level. 

Jace Moran (No. 57) is an offensive-oriented catcher and one of the top performers at the plate on the travel circuit this year. He’s 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, a lefthanded hitter whose swing is compact, fluid and has good path through the hitting zone. He’s consistently on time and drives the ball with loft to all fields, flashing home run juice now that should continue to climb with natural strength progression. 

Outfielder Kinon Bastian has been an up-arrow name this year. He has excellent bat speed from the right side of the plate, taking an aggressive swing that can get big and comes with strikeouts, but he generates a lot of torque and can unload on balls for deep blasts to his pull side with some of the better righthanded power in the class coming from his 5-foot-11, 180-pound build. He’s a solid-average runner who projects as a corner outfielder. 

Florida’s lone current out-of-state commitment is William Haggerty, a Rhode Island righthander who is 5-foot-10, 180 pounds with a fast arm to run his heater up to 95 mph. There isn’t huge physical projection remaining, but it’s already impressive velocity for his size and he throws it for strikes out of his low three-quarters slot. His fastball is his best pitch, backed by a changeup that’s advanced for his age with lively tailing action.

Corner infielder Tavis Honeycutt is an enormous 6-foot-4 righthanded hitter with a lot of strength and bat speed to drive the ball with high-end impact for his age. Honeycutt doesn’t need to get big with his swing to generate power, so he doesn’t swing and miss much either. He’s likely a first baseman or DH at the next level whose value will come from what he does in the batter’s box.
