As we gear up for one of our top invite-only events of the year, the Arkansas Top Prospect Upperclass Games, we will begin breaking down our notes on each of the prospects who will be in attendance. This year, the Upperclass Games will see many of the state’s top athletes from the 2026 and 2027 classes compete, giving them an opportunity to be seen by numerous college coaches during an open-contact period of recruitment. This year’s event will be held on June 11th at the University of Central Arkansas.

Grant Alderson RHP / Fayetteville, AR / 2027 Rankings  StateRank: 19 / POS: 4 Alderson has a lean, projectable frame with plenty of ability to add strength as he develops physically.

At the plate, he showed an ability to catch barrels consistently and maxed out on exit velocity at 88.8 mph.

Ace DeWese LHP / OF / Pulaski Academy, AR / 2026 Rankings  StateRank: 65 / POS: 8 Physically, DeWese has been able to add strength, but still has room to add more mass to a lean frame.

Defensively, he uses confident, athletic actions, and has been gunned in the mid 70s across the diamond.
