It’s never too soon to lock up your recruiting classes, and a number of programs have been out on the trail doing just that.
The class of 2026 appears loaded with hitters and shortstops, led by No. 1 prep prospect Grady Emerson and Brady Harris, who landed at No. 2 in Joe Doyle’s recent Top 100 High School Prospects update.
Emerson and Harris have committed to college, and while not every top prospect has done so, the following schools have a terrific start to their 2026 classes.
