The summer travel circuit is here. So are Baseball America’s new rankings of the top 200 players in the 2026 high school class.

The 2026 class is one of the most talented high school groups we have seen in recent years, on par with the loaded 2023 class. There’s a mix of both high-end talent at the top and depth, headlined by shortstops Grady Emerson and Jacob Lombard at the top of the list.

Emerson is a Texas commit, and while he projects as a first-round pick, he’s one of several premium recruits in a stacked recruiting class for the Longhorns. Vanderbilt is well represented on the list, as well, with a blend of potential impact position players and a deep group of projectable pitchers committed in another talented recruiting class.

Here are the top prospects in the class of 2026 with scouting reports on all 200 players.
