NY Class of 2026 (Summer Edition)

August 27, 2025

PBR Staff

As the summer concludes and players begin to roam the hallways of their high schools, it’s the perfect time to release our end-of-summer installment of the rankings. The Prep Baseball New York staff sat down and quickly realized that this class has developed into one of the top groups in the country.

Filled with power arms, power bats, and freak athletes from top to bottom, this rankings class has it all. After a busy summer of baseball, 3 new big arms enter the top, leading to a shakeup in the top 10. Some players delivered big-time performances on the biggest stages, while others continued their red-hot high school seasons straight through the summer schedule.

We break down each Top 10 player below, along with the full list of 450+ prospects.
