THE TOP 10

The top of our rankings see a slight shakeup following an action-packed winter that provided fresh evaluations of talent across the board. RHP Jordan Martin (Jefferson City; Arkansas) and RHP Tyler Wood (Lee’s Summit West; Tennessee) maintain their grip on the No. 1 and No. 2 spots, respectively. INF Sebastian Norman (Glendale; Oklahoma State) climbs to No. 3 after a standout performance at the Super 60 this past February, followed closely by fellow Super 60 participant INF Caeden Cloud (Nixa; Kentucky) at No. 4 - both coming away as names-to-know from the event.

A new face in the top 10, LHP Ethan Rogers (Lone Jack; Wichita State) makes a significant jump, climbing six spots to secure the No. 5 spot. A standout at the Super 60 earlier this offseason, Rogers impressed in Chicago with a head-turning bullpen session, dialing his fastball up to 92 mph. He also showcased two elite swing-and-miss breaking balls—a sharp 85-86 mph slider with 2,500+ RPM and a tight 80-81 mph curveball. Rogers is followed by fellow top 10 newcomer RHP Camden Lohman (Fort Zumwalt North; Missouri) who slides in at No. 6 after a big jump in velo this offseason. 

The top 10 is rounded out by RHP JD Dohrmann (St. John Vianney; Missouri), OF Leo Humbert (Francis Howell; Missouri), RHP Richie Swain (Timberland; Mississippi State), and RHP Drake Gawer (Sullivan; Texas Tech), who come in at numbers 7 through 10.

  

RISERS AND NEWCOMERS

One of the biggest winners of this preseason, RHP Kyle Pearcy (Staley) skyrockets 20 spots to No. 12 after a standout showing at the MOKAN Preseason All-State in early February. The 6-foot-3, 207-pound uncommitted senior commanded the zone with a polished four-pitch mix, featuring an effortless 92-93 mph fastball and a true swing and miss curveball at 77-78 mph with potential for much more. Fellow teammate, LHP Brody Irlbeck (Staley; Iowa), also climbs four spots to No. 11 in this update.

C Rylan Mills (Oran; Southeast Missouri State) makes a significant leap in this update, climbing 18 spots to No. 22. The standout backstop delivered one of the loudest BP rounds of the preseason, setting a new Prep Baseball Missouri TrackMan exit velocity record with a staggering 110.8 mph mark at the Missouri Bulls Scout Day in January. With added size and strength, Mills looks poised to make an immediate impact at the next level.

A trio of arms climb the rankings after standout offseasons. RHP Eli Skidmore (Francis Howell; St. Louis) and RHP Haden Terrill (Wellington-Napoleon; Central Missouri) each surge more than 10 spots, with fastballs that continue to tick up, reportedly sitting in the low-to-mid-90s. Meanwhile, LHP Wyatt Doak (Galena; SIUE) rises six spots after an eye-catching performance at the A’s Scout Day on March 1st, where he ran his fastball up to 92 mph.

Another rising right-hander from the St. Louis area, RHP Cole Scott (Windsor; Southeast Missouri State) makes a significant leap, surging 57 spots to No. 49. He impressed at the St. Louis Preseason ID, demonstrating command of a refined three-pitch mix, headlined by a fastball that touched 90.8 mph. With a highly physical frame, Scott projects for even more upside as he continues to develop.

OF Peyton Kight (Jackson; Bradley), RHP Jackson Gamble (Nixa; Missouri Southern), C/1B Jaxon Jones (Central-Park Hills; Three Rivers), and RHP Eli Anderson (Warrensburg) are among the other standout performers who rise in the rankings after delivering strong showings at various events this winter.

RHP Ben Dambach (Jackson) and INF Maxwell Blackburn (Jackson) make their debuts in the rankings after strong performances at the Tribe Scout Day in February.
