Player Spotlight: 2026 SS Guy Lynam (Gloucester Catholic HS)


Nathan Goranson

The number 1 player in NJ’s 2026 class, also ranked as the number 23 SS nationally. Last reported at 5-10, 174.4 lbs, the shortstop has extremely high projectability in his frame to grow into. As of 5/5, it seems that Auburn commit has hit somewhat of a growth spurt, looking every bit of 6 foot now. At shortstop, his movements are very polished, he flows into his throws and delivers a 90 mph strike over to first base. The arm action is very whippy with a consistent over-the-top release point. 


At the plate, Lynam hits from a tall and relaxed setup. He syncs up the hand load and his leg kick, creating a powerful stretched position. With bat speeds up to 82.1 mph, Lynam catches the ball outfront for some pull side pop. One of the more developed approaches at the plate in his class, has the ability to handle high level pitchers with ease. Takes what the pitchers give him and is not afraid to take a free base.
