Event Preview: 2026 Underclass Top Prospect Games


Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

Lafayette, LA - On Tuesday, June 23, 2026, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff will travel to the University of Louisiana-Lafayette to host our Underclass Top Prospect Games.  This event has turned out to be the biggest event in the Bayou State each summer, so we decided to split our Top Prospect Games up into an Upperclass Division for the 2027 class and an Underclass Division for the 2028 & 2029 classes.

Tomorrow, 100 of the top prospects in Louisiana's 2028 & 2029 classes will come together tomorrow for a jam-packed day of competition.  The Louisiana Underclass Top Prospect Games will also serve as a major identifier for our Future Games teams this summer for the 2028 class and our Super Sophomore Games for the 2029 class.  Each participant will go through a pro-style workout that will consist of running a laser-timed 60 yard dash using Vald Performance, defensive evaluations, batting practice using Trackman Baseball and Blast Motion, and pitchers will get to throw live to hitters during the gameplay portion of the event with Trackman Baseball running to receive all of their key data and metrics.  Below, we take a look at the history of this event, the schedule, and some players that we're looking forward to seeing tomorrow.  

 


EVENT HISTORY

Last year's Louisiana Top Prospect Games has seen a total of 52 prospects who have committed to play at the next level, and that number will only continue to grow over the coming months.  2027 Kaleb Guarisco and 2027 Nate Cervantes were both standout performers at last year's Top Prospect Games, and both ended up having stellar season's for their respective schools.

2026 Louisiana Underclass Top Prospect Games: Players to Watch

There's a handful of players who we have seen before and are excited to get an up-to-date look at, as well as a couple of new faces.  Let's check out a couple of those players below.

2028 Cole Albert (Vermilion Catholic)

The sophomore right-hander didn't throw this spring, as he was recovering from a minor injury, but he looks back to form in the early part of the summer. Albert earned our 2025 Newcomer of the Year award, after leading Vermilion Catholic to a State Title.

Our 2026 Newcomer of the Year finished the spring hitting .355 with 5 home runs, 7 doubles, 1 triple, 34 RBIs, and 29 runs scored. Even more impressive was his advanced approach at the plate, drawing 26 walks while striking out only 14 times.

The sophomore southpaw went 12-0 with a 0.24 ERA and struck out a whopping 190 hitters across 90 innings this spring. He's an arm that were extremely excited to see on Tuesday.

2028 Krash Menard (Vandebilt Catholic HS)

Menard was dominant this past spring hitting .438 with 4 home runs, 10 doubles, 4 triples, 34 RBI, 62 runs scored, and 25 stolen bases. What may be most impressive, however, was his advanced strike-zone discipline, as he drew 24 walks while striking out only six times all season.
