Event Preview: 2026 Upperclass Top Prospect Games


Alex Armand
Louisiana Scouting Director

New Orleans, LA - On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, the Prep Baseball Louisiana staff will travel to the University of New Orleans to host our Upperclass Top Prospect Games.  This event has turned out to be the biggest event in the Bayou State each summer.  This year, 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, over 90 of the top uncommitted prospects in Louisiana's 2027 class will come together tomorrow for a jam-packed day of competition.  The Louisiana Top Prospect Games will also serve as a major identifier for our Senior Future Games teams this summer.  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 Upperclass 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.

2027 Shepherd Gammon (University Lab)

The uncommitted junior finished the spring hitting .384 with 2 home runs, 17 doubles, 5 triples, and scored 49 runs for the Cubs.

Derouen had one of the best season's of anyone this past spring and is one of the hottest uncommitted names in the entire state. He finished the year hitting .510 with 5 home runs, 20 doubles, 2 triples, and drove in 42 runs for the Bobcats.
The uncommitted southpaw from Lutcher jumped all the way into the top-20 of our state rankings after having a good spring for the state champion Bulldogs. Delaneuville is an athletic and easy mover with a clean arm stroke and sports a fastball that has already touched 90 mph.


2027 Chase Marcotte (Destrehan)

Marcotte was a Prep Baseball Louisiana First Team All-State selection after hitting .341 with 8 home runs, 16 doubles, 1 triple, and 36 runs batted in for the Wildcats this spring.

Teague had another monster year for the Tigers this spring. The uncommitted junior hit .476 with 4 home runs, 11 doubles, 3 triples, and drove in 41 runs.
