The fall nears, a vital 'last' look for recruiters before signing day comes in early November. The 2026 class currently has 73 committed players per our database, with 46 of those commitments being to Division I programs. This class is deep and there still remains plenty of quality talent on the board. Our 2026 rankings are due for an update at the end of this month and to tease the list before it comes out, here are the top 5 corner infielders that remain uncommitted in the order that they're set to update in. Stay tuned for similiar lists on other position groups to come...

Bennett Hartford 3B / 2B / Penn High School, IN / 2026 + From (2025 Top Prospect Games) -  A physical 6-foot, 195 pounder coming off a big offensive season for Penn. Posted double digit extra-base hit totals this spring to back the 100+ exits he posted at this event. Starts tall, controls forward move with bat setting in a strong position to hit. Some length to the turn but delivers the barrel with a flatter angle and has the ability to spray it with strength. Some stiffness defensively but is sure-handed. Average arm strength across (83 mph). A tick better than average runner, posted a 6.97. The bat is what sells here and there is a very strong track record with it.

Chase Nickols 3B / SS / Cathedral, IN / 2026 + From (2025 Top Prospect Games) -  Nickols has made positive trends within his athleticism over a two year follow, now blossoming into a 6-foot-2, 175 pounder build full of lean muscle. There is still room for added strength to louden a hit tool that has shined in my follow with Nickols, though the 98+ mph batting practice exits indicate he is beginning to tap into more of his power. The swing works on a loose, level plane with hand-eye apparent in the bat-to-ball skills. He burned a 6.91 60 and should develop more foot speed with continued maturation. On the dirt, he is sure-handed, with average arm strength, likely profiling best as a 2B/3B at the collegiate level.

Kendrick Pena 3B / 1B / William Henry Harrison High School, IN / 2026 + From (2025 Top Prospect Games) - One of my favorite offensive prospects from this event. Silky actions across the board - moves very well. Loved the swing in batting practice and produced 96+ exits. With strength added to the 6-foot, 170 pound frame, he could really grow into impact. The in-game bat speed does not jump off the page, but I think strength gains could help that. Defensively, moved well with low-pulse actions and showed the ability to pick it at 3B at this event. Arm plays with carry over strength across. Can play 3B, 2B, and 1B - while also showing some ability to catch at previous events. Ran a 6.97 with an athletic, easy-effort gait. Bullish follow with a real chance to blossom.

Cooper Cammack 1B / RHP / University High School, IN / 2026 + From (2025 Top Prospect Games) -  Very interesting prospect, 6-foot-5, 190 pounds and wiry strength. Young for the class, has a chance to develop plus raw power. Exits reached 100+ already with buggy-whip to the barrel and present twitch. Present pull-side home run power. Aggressive swinger, some swing-and-miss to monitor. Primary 1B - 7.04 60 suggests he could man a COF spot. Has enough arm strength to play RF, also up to 84 on the bump with some upside there. Overall - plenty of upside in the frame and power potential. Has trended positively over a three year follow.

Gavin Neal 3B / OF / New Palestine High School, IN / 2026 + From (3/1/25) -  Gavin Neal is a strong, athletic 6-foot-1, 195-pound third baseman with offensive upside. He hits from a strong setup and flashes bat speed, producing a 98 mph max exit velocity and averaging 86.3 mph with a 306’ max distance—indicating real power potential. Defensively, Neal shows a quick, compact arm across the infield at 85 mph, and his physicality and arm strength profile well at the hot corner. He ran a 7.38 60-yard dash.
