2026 Prep Baseball Louisiana Preseason All-State Team

Evan Vincent LHP / Teurlings Catholic, LA / 2026

Vincent powered the Rebels to back-to-back Division II (Select) State Championships, capping another dominant spring on the mound in 2025. The Louisiana-Lafayette recruit went a perfect 10-0 with one save and a 1.26 ERA, striking out 86 hitters over 61 innings of work. With Vincent leading the way, Teurlings Catholic enters the season with its sights set on a historic third consecutive state title.

Lawton Littleton LHP / OF / Barbe, LA / 2027

The former Future Gamer and LSU commit burst onto the scene by winning eight games as a freshman before delivering a sensational sophomore campaign in 2025. Littleton finished last spring with a 10-2 record, a microscopic 0.76 ERA, and 111 strikeouts over 74 innings for the Bucs. He’ll be a cornerstone of Barbe’s championship push this spring as the program sets its sights on a 13th state title.

Bradyn Cupit LHP / LHP / West Monroe, LA / 2026

Cupit, a Louisiana State University recruit, has put together a dominant prep career for West Monroe. As a sophomore in 2024, he played a pivotal role in helping the Rebels capture their first state championship since 1999, then followed it up with another strong junior campaign last spring. Entering the season as the unquestioned No. 1 starter, Cupit will be relied upon heavily at the front of the rotation after piling up 14 wins over the last two seasons.

Logan Sorrel RHP / 3B / Parkview Baptist, LA / 2026

The former Future Gamer and Kentucky recruit steps into the role of the Eagles’ No. 1 starter this spring after a strong junior campaign. In 2025, Sorrel went 6-2 with one save and a 1.68 ERA, striking out 59 hitters over 41.2 innings. A true power arm, he features a low-90s fastball paired with a sharp low-80s slider that gives him swing-and-miss ability at the front of the rotation.

Grant Sunstrom RHP / 1B / Lsu Laboratory School, LA / 2026

The ace of the Cubs’ staff in 2025, the Louisiana Tech recruit logged 72.2 innings while posting a 7-3 record, 63 strikeouts, a 1.45 ERA, and a stingy .177 opponent batting average. Sunstrom returns as the leader of U-High’s pitching staff in 2026 as the Cubs look to capture their second state championship in the last three seasons.

Hayes Holton RHP / SS / Loranger, LA / 2026

Widely regarded as the top right-handed pitcher in Louisiana’s 2026 class, Holton enters his senior season at Loranger looking to finish his prep career strong before heading to the University of Texas. He boasts some of the most electric arm talent in the country, highlighted by a fastball that has already climbed into the 97–98 mph range. Last season, he pitched to the tune of a 1.86 ERA with 37 strikeouts across 20.1 innings.

Mills Richardson RHP / 2B / Catholic, LA / 2026

Another former Future Gamer to earn a spot on this list is the Southeastern Louisiana recruit. Richardson has made noticeable strength gains since last spring, which were evident during our first look at him against Sulphur in a preseason scrimmage. He consistently attacked the zone with an 89–91 mph fastball, while his slider showed improved firmness and sharper bite in the low-80s.

Stellar first outing for former Future Gamer 2026 RHP Mills Richardson (Catholic BR HS).

The @LionUpBaseball recruit has definitely gained strength over the fall. Worked primarily off his fastball and commanded it well to the glove side. Slider is firmer too… pic.twitter.com/8GfXqPwP4t

The Southern Miss recruit put together a standout junior campaign for the Cardinals in 2025.
