As always, our evaluation process is fluid and ongoing, built on multiple viewings and discussions to get the most accurate feel for each player’s abilities. It’s worth noting that while some players show rapid improvement, this doesn’t suggest that others have regressed—player development is simply a journey with peaks and valleys. As the season unfolds, new names will continue to surface, expanding the universe of top prospects in Nevada. In addition to our player evaluations, our scouts—both in-state and nationally—have been in constant dialogue, comparing notes and making adjustments based on the latest insights to ensure the rankings are as up-to-date and accurate as possible.

Rookie Shepard SS / 2B / Faith Lutheran, NV / 2026Rankings StateRank: 1 / POS: 1
The wire to wire #1 ranked prospect in Nevada wrapped up another successful Summer season and is primed for a huge 2026, where we expect him to continue see his stock rise as one of the top prep prospects in the country. Coming in at the #25 spot in the Prep Baseball National Rankings, their is a lot to like with Shepard's games as he possesses that combination of tools/numbers along with a "gamer" type playing style that will do whatever it takes to get a win.
