We continue our Rankings week with a look at the Top 25 players in the MD/DE Class of 2026. Stay tuned, as tomorrow we will expand the rankings to the Top 50, with a "Risers" and "New Faces" story to follow. 

The top 2 remain the same, as outfielder Eli Livingston (St. Paul's/Maryland) headlines the top spot, with infielder Miguel Leon (John Carroll/Maryland) remaining at No. 2. 

 

 

 

Two-way Osiah Kelley (Sussex Central, DE) climbs a spot to No. 3 after an impressive Freshman campaign. Possessing an ultra-athletic 6-foot, 160 pound frame, Kelley features an electric mid-upper 80's fastball with a developing three pitch secondary arsenal that shows true promise. 

 

 

Throughout the Top 25, our staff sees nine "New Faces" and four "Risers", including three new players inside the Top 10. A class that will undoubtedly see immense movement throughout the next three years is already taking shape, and looks to be one of the deepest and more talented classes across the region.

Below we have highlighted a few more "Risers" and "New Faces" throughout the Top 25.
