As always, our evaluation process is fluid and ongoing, built on multiple viewings and discussions to get the most accurate feel for each player’s abilities. It’s worth noting that while some players show rapid improvement, this doesn’t suggest that others have regressed—player development is simply a journey with peaks and valleys. As the season unfolds, new names will continue to surface, expanding the universe of top prospects in Alabama. In addition to our player evaluations, our scouts—both in-state and nationally—have been in constant dialogue, comparing notes and making adjustments based on the latest insights to ensure the rankings are as up-to-date and accurate as possible.

The Top-10 in the Class of 2028 ⭐

Hudson Oliver OF / LHP / Guntersville High School, AL / 2028 Rankings  StateRank: 1 / POS: 1 "Oliver continues to solidify himself as one of the premier talents in the 2028 class, putting his well-rounded skill set on display Monday night. Hitting out of the leadoff spot, the freshman set the tone early, battling back from behind in the count to work it full before driving an outer-half fastball the other way for a single. He wasted no time making an impact on the bases, swiping second a few pitches later. At the plate, Oliver features a clean bat path with a slight late tilt, generating backspin and carry to both gaps. His hand speed stands out, working through a simple, direct path that allows him to handle both early and deep counts with a mature, disciplined approach. In the seventh inning, he showcased his bat speed again, barreling a center-cut fastball back up the middle. A high-level athlete, Oliver’s 6.8 speed was on full display, swiping three bases with ease. Defensively, he made two highlight-reel plays in center field, demonstrating advanced instincts with excellent jumps off the bat and the ability to track balls over his head. There’s plenty to like in this highly regarded 2028 prospect."
