2027 Player Rankings


By: California Staff

   

   

LOS ANGELES, CALIF. - After a year of hosting events and seeing the rising freshman class matriculate into high school and complete their first fall, we are please to introduce our initial Class of 2027 Player Rankings for California. 

Over the course of the year we saw many very talented 2027's at Prep Baseball events with the crescendo coming at the Jr. Future Games in LakePoint, GA. As we moved into the fall we saw many more players at the California State Games and the Underclass Games both in SoCal and NorCal. 

This list will undoubtedly grow and change over time as players all grow and develop on their individual timelines and some hit their stride sooner than others. Consider the list more of an intitial framework for the Class of 2027, a framework that will almost certainly see it's foundation built and developed over the next four years. 

Without further delay, we are pleased to present the Top 50 players in the Class of 2027 in California
