Top 5 Analysis
Jacob Lombard SS / 2B / Gulliver Prep, FL / 2026Rankings StateRank: 1 / POS: 1
Lombard is the top player in the 2026 class. Still uncommitted, but will have plenty of options when he makes his decision. 6-foot-2, 193-pound frame, Lombard continues to be the premier player in this class and has the makings of an elite shortstop at the next level— younger brother of 2023 1st-round draft pick George Lombard Jr. and Dad (George) is the bench coach for Detriot Tigers. 2024 Prep Baseball All-American

Brady Harris OF / OF / Trinity Christian Academy (JAX), FL / 2026Rankings StateRank: 2 / POS: 1
A true center fielder with premium tools for the position, Harris has shown up in big moments with the ability to end a game with just one swing. At a physical 6-foot-2, 187 pounds, the Gators commit has 5-tool potential at the next level. 2024 Prep Baseball All-American

Gio Rojas LHP / 1B / Stoneman Douglas, FL / 2026Rankings StateRank: 3 / POS: 1
Rojas is a polished left-hander and the ace of national powerhouse Stoneman Douglas. With front-line starter potential, his fastball is up to 94, paired with a wipeout slider at 2900 rpm. The 6-foot-1, 181-pound Miami commit helped lead Stoneman Douglas to their fourth straight State Title this past spring. 2024 Prep Baseball All-American

Coleman Borthwick 3B / RHP / South Walton, FL / 2026Rankings StateRank: 4 / POS: 1
With an imposing 6-foot-6, 254-pound frame, Borthwick, an Auburn commit, is a physical athlete and moves well for his size. Immense strength at the plate and on the mound bodes well for him at the next level. Fastball in the mid-90s and light-tower-power at the plate. Borthwick has real two-way ability and should be able to carry that on to the next level. 2024 Prep Baseball All-American & HR Derby Champion

Kaden Waechter RHP / SS / Jesuit, FL / 2026Rankings StateRank: 5 / POS: 1
Waechter is a premium athlete with the tools and competitiveness to succeed at the next level, especially on the mound. 6-foot-2, 177 pounds. Fastball up to 92 mph with hop in the zone at 2700+ rpm. Strike thrower, spins a tight breaking ball, and lands a quality changeup. Offensively is an above-average shortstop, 6.7 runner, and drives the ball to all fields with ease. Still uncommitted but wherever he lands, they will be getting a winner. 2024 Future Games Participant
