It is with great excitement that we release to you today, our most recent rankings update, the class of 2027. We unveil the Top 40 players from across the Old Line State and Delaware. We expand our list from 20 to 40 after a strong preseason of events across the Mid-Atlantic that featured a slew of exciting players in the 2027 class.

Although we do not see a ton of movement inside the Top 10, we do see four New Faces that jump inside the Top 20.  

 

*The class will expand more and more as we get a chance to see more players in the class, whether it be at events, tournaments, or high school games.*

Cementing his spot at the top, two-way Anderson Lambert (McDonogh) was a huge standout at this years MD Preseason All-State I in February. Possessing a proportionally strong, ultra-athletic 6-foot, 170 pound frame, Lambert showcases advanced actions on both sides of the ball with twitch and fluidity that is tough to match at such a young age. Featuring a low to mid 80's fastball with plenty left in the tank and plenty of feel for the breaker/changeup in the zone, there's plenty to dream on on the bump. Explosive hands with a heavy barrel at the dish, look for power numbers to continue to rise offensively as the frame fills.


A new face that jumps into this update is outfielder Arrington Price III (Frederick Douglass) after a standout performance at the Wow Factor Scout Day in mid-February. A brute strong 5-foot-9, 165 pound build, Price wowed our Mid-Atlantic staff with the overall poise and moxie at the dish. It's an uphill path with loud strength to the pull side out of a fairly easy and controlled operation. It's easy to see the projection in the body and we look for continued success on the field in the coming years. 

Another new face that hits this rankings update is two-way right-handed pitcher and third baseman Ty Weber (Indian River, DE). It's a long, lean 5-foot-11, 176 pound frame with plenty to dream on in projection and the ability to fill out. The operation is fluid and easy on the bump, featuring an intriguing four pitch mix with a consistent ability to spin two seperate breaking balls for strikes. The fastball shows some ride through the zone with feel to the arm side in the low 80's and we see a big velo jump in the near future. There's some present pop in the barrel at the dish, staying middle to pull side in the approach. It's an arm over bat makeup right now with still plenty to like on both sides.
