As Fall comes to a close and the High School season approaches, we’re excited to release our update for the Class of 2028 Nevada Player Rankings. The list now features 50 of the state’s top prospects, reflecting the impact of standout performances throughout the spring and summer months. From strong showings in high school competition to dominant outings at summer Prep Baseball events, players have continued to refine their skills and strengthen their résumés. This latest update not only highlights those making significant strides but also sets the stage for the upcoming fall circuit as the prestigous Future Games looms next summer for these sophomores.

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.
