2027 Top High School Draft Prospects

Baseball America’s initial ranking of the top players in the 2027 high school class is here.

For top college programs, the 2027 class will be a major recruiting priority this summer. Unlike recent years, most of the players on this list remain uncommitted, a shift driven by NCAA rule changes that now prevent college coaches from contacting recruits until Aug. 1 before their junior year. Of the top 50 players in this class, only 12 have already committed via decisions that were made before the rule change took effect.

One early standout in the 2027 recruiting landscape is TCU, which has already landed three of the top 50 players. However, for most of the top prospects, this summer will be important as coaches evaluate them ahead of what promises to be a busy Aug. 1 once coaches can contact them.

At the top of the list is Jacob Seamon, an outfielder from North Carolina with immense offensive upside and significant projection remaining in his lanky 6-foot-4 frame. While the 2027 class doesn’t appear as deep as the loaded 2026 group at the same stage, the race for the No. 1 spot and beyond remains wide open.

Here are the top 50 players in the 2027 class, complete with scouting reports on each prospect.
