Top 25 Uncommitted Class Of 2026 High School Baseball Players

Many of the top high school players in the 2026 class have already committed, but not all the top players in the country have made a decision yet. Whether it’s because of a more deliberate recruiting process, a more recent pop in their development or other factors like navigating offers in multiple sports, there are still several promising uncommitted 2026 players, including those ranked among the top 200 prospects and beyond. 

Plenty of high-end talent for 2026 remains uncommitted, including three of the top 10 players overall. Today, we’re taking a look at the top 25 uncommitted players in the 2026 class with reports on each player. The list includes more polished, high-upside players at the top, along with several players who are deeper projections or are emerging as priority targets for schools based on more recent development. 

1. Jacob Lombard, SS, Florida

Whichever school lands a commitment from Lombard will be ecstatic, but it’s going to be hard to get him to campus. If Lombard were eligible for the 2025 draft, he could be a first-round pick, and there’s a chance he’s the first high school player drafted next year. The No. 2 player in the 2026 class, Lombard has a tremendous blend of athleticism, tools and skills on both sides of the ball. He has a sweet, efficient righthanded swing, a discerning eye for the strike zone and the bat speed to drive the ball with impact. He’s a plus-plus runner who can make the acrobatic plays at shortstop while also playing a fundamentally-sound game with a good internal clock.

2. Kevin Roberts Jr., OF/RHP, Mississippi

Roberts will be 17 on draft day, so he’s one of the youngest players in the 2026 class, but he stands out physically at 6-foot-5, 215 pounds with outstanding athleticism and tools. The No. 3 player in the country, Roberts has the bat speed to drive the ball out of the park and the physical upside to grow into plus to plus-plus raw power. He also has a patient approach to work his walks and has shown a low swing-and-miss rate on the travel circuit. He’s a plus runner with a plus arm that could still tick up another grade, giving him a chance to be a physical center fielder, though his game would profile well in right field, too.

3. Jorvorskie Lane Jr., C/OF, Texas

Lane has electric bat speed, and he’s one of the younger players in the class. At 6 feet, 190 pounds, he doesn’t have the physically-imposing look of other power hitters his age, but his ability to whistle the barrel through the hitting zone allows him to generate raw power that stacks up among the best in the country. The No. 10 player in the 2026 class, Lane has an aggressive approach and swing that leads to some swing-and-miss, but he has performed at a high level in games and looks like a player who should eventually hit in the middle of a collegiate lineup with high upside in pro ball, as well, whether it’s at catcher or in the outfield.

4. Matt Ponatoski, SS, Ohio

Ponatoski is uncommitted in part because he’s navigating the recruiting process for multiple sports. The Archbishop Moeller High quarterback won the Gatorade Player of the Year for football in Ohio as a junior and has drawn offers in that sport from Michigan, Texas A&M, Arkansas and others. He’s also the No. 16 player in the 2026 class for baseball. He’s a lefthanded hitter with a patient, polished offensive approach and good bat-to-ball skills, giving him the components to be a high on-base threat with a strong arm for the left side of the infield.

5. Bo Holloway, LHP, Tennessee

Holloway is a 6-foot-5 lefty who is already up to 95 mph and should have more velocity on the way. He doesn’t need much effort to produce that mid-90s heat, and it’s a pitch that gets a lot of swing-and-miss between the velocity, movement and his ability to throw it for strikes. 

6. Kayden Campbell, SS/3B, Georgia

The younger brother of Red Sox infielder and 2024 Minor League Player of the Year Kristian Campbell, Kayden is a 6-foot-2 righthanded hitter with good rhythm, balance and barrel accuracy from the right side of the plate. He has performed at a high level in games with flashes of power that should continue to tick up as he fills out.

7. Noah Everly, SS, California

Everly has a strong 6-foot-1 frame and a compact righthanded swing that gets into the hitting zone quickly. He has fast hands, drives the ball well to both gaps and flashes over-the-fence juice for doubles that should turn into home runs in the next few years. 

8. Josiah Morris, SS/C, California

Morris is a skilled player both as a hitter and defender. He turns 18 just before the 2026 MLB Draft, so he’s on the younger end of the class, but his instincts and game savvy are advanced for his age. He’s a righthanded hitter with a short, quick swing, good bat-to-ball skills and gap power from his 6-foot frame. He has experience both at catcher and shortstop, showing a good internal clock and ability to read hops with good routes to the ball in the infield. 

9. Jaylen Walker, OF, Texas

Walker has an explosive tool set. The son of former Houston Texans safety Ramon Walker, Jaylen has a strong 6-foot-1 build and generates impressive bat speed from the right side of the plate. He was an up-and-down performer last summer on the travel circuit, but when he’s locked in and on time, the ball flies off his barrel with the potential for plus raw power. He’s also an above-average runner, which could give him an opportunity to play center field in college, though at higher levels, he likely projects as a corner outfielder.

10. Jason Amalbert, SS, New Jersey

At 6-foot-1, 185 pounds, Amalbert has been trending up over the past year thanks to a well-rounded game. He’s a high-contact hitter from the right side of the plate with good bat speed, an all-fields approach and the strength projection to add to his gap power. He’s an above-average runner who should stay in the infield with a chance to stick at shortstop while boasting a strong arm that has been up to 91 mph on the mound.

11. Gary Gibson, RHP, Kentucky

Previously a Kentucky commit, Gibson is now the top uncommitted righthander in the nation. It’s a strong, compact 6-foot frame with a fastball that improved throughout 2024 to reach 94 mph at the end of the summer. Gibson shows feel to spin a low-80s slider that’s his primary offspeed weapon. While he doesn’t use his changeup as much yet, it’s a pitch that has good fade from his low three-quarters slot and has traits to get swing-and-miss with more experience.

12. Tristan Lange, RHP, Virginia

There are a lot of projection arrows pointing in the right direction with Lange. He’s young for the class, has more room to add strength to his 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame and already has promising stuff for his age. He throws strikes with a fastball that is up to 91 mph and there should be more in the tank once he gets stronger. His curveball has sharp rotation and should continue to produce whiffs at higher levels. 

13. Julian Garcia, RHP, California

Garcia is 6-foot-3, 190 pounds with a fastball up to 92 mph, and there’s space on his frame to fill out. Added strength should help his fastball reach the mid 90s and add more power to a big curveball that has tight rotation and could be a bigger weapon with additional velocity. 

14. David Ojeda, OF, Georgia

Ojeda is a 6-foot, 185-pound lefthanded hitter with the components in place to be a high on-base threat. He’s extremely patient in his offensive approach to draw plenty of walks and has good bat-to-ball skills with loft and an all-fields approach.

15. Jenker Romero, RHP, Georgia

Romero has strong stuff that should only get better. He’s 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, running his fastball up to 94 mph with the arm speed and physical projection for more velocity in the tank. He can spin multiple breaking balls with sharp bite to induce whiffs. His control is what holds him back, but there’s plenty of upside to dream on if he can make the adjustments to throw more strikes.

16. Jensen Hirschkorn, RHP, California

Hirschkorn is 6-foot-7, 195 pounds—a frame that screams projection. He’s already up to 93 mph and should eventually be in the mid 90s or better given how much room he has to add good weight to his slender build. The ball comes out of his hand with steep downhill angle, and he mixes in a curveball and changeup, as well. 

17. Quinn O’Rourke, RHP, North Carolina

O’Rourke can run his fastball up to 93 mph, and there should be more velocity on the way as he fills out his projectable 6-foot-3 build. It’s a fastball with good carry up in the zone, and he complements it well with a tight curveball that has good depth to change eye levels and miss bats with a north-south attack. 

18. Isaiah Hearn, OF, California

At 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, Hearns is a physical, athletic lefty who has a chance to be a power bat in the middle of a lineup at the collegiate while drawing interest from college football teams, as well. He doesn’t need to sell out his swing to generate that power, as he instead uses a direct, fluid stroke while staying through the middle of the field. 

19. Vernon Woodard, C, Georgia

Woodard is 5-foot-10, 195 pounds and consistently produces quality at-bats. A lefthanded hitter, he takes a short path of the ball with a tight turn of the barrel. He stays balanced throughout his swing and makes contact at a high clip with pitches throughout the strike zone with gap power. Woodard a good receiver who should stick behind the plate at the next level. 

20. Maddux Lessard, C, Wisconsin

Previously a member of the 2027 class, Lessard reclassified to become a 2026 graduate last fall. He moves around well behind the plate and has the tools to stick there at the next level, maneuvering his body to block well with an average arm on his best throws. He’s an aggressive hitter with an unconventional setup at the plate that works for him, firing his hands quickly with good bat-to-ball skills and gap power. 

21. Joseph Contreras, RHP, Georgia

Contreras has a prototype projectable frame for a young pitcher at a lean 6-foot-4, 195 pounds with long limbs and room to pack on more weight. His fastball reaches the low 90s with the look of a pitcher who could be in the mid-to-upper 90s eventually. He also has a curveball that pairs well off his fastball from his high arm slot. 

22. Jacob Morgan, LHP, Florida

Morgan has intriguing traits to project in his long-term development. He’s 6-foot-4, 195 pounds with a physically-projectable build for him to grow a fastball that was up to 89 mph last summer. He’s still learning to repeat his delivery to throw more consistent strikes, but he will flash a quality breaking ball with two-plane depth, giving him the makings of a player with helium potential once he adds more power to his stuff.

23. Jack Richerson, 3B, Georgia

Richerson has promising size and tools. He’s 6-foot-4, 210 pounds with strong hands and forearms, firing the barrel with good bat speed to produce hard contact when he connects in a likely power-over-hit offensive game from the right side of the plate. He’s a solid-average runner who has a strong arm that would play at either third base or right field. 

24. Jett Little, RHP, Massachusetts

Little is 6-foot-4, 195 pounds with a fastball he ran up to 91 mph last fall at the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla., where he struck out six over four scoreless innings with one walk and one hit allowed. He pitches heavily off his fastball and throws it for strikes to both sides of the plate. There’s projection for more velocity to come on the fastball, and he backs it up with a low-to-mid 70s curveball. 

25. Josh Horvath, RHP, Texas

Horvath mostly pitched in the mid-to-upper 80s last summer, but he has taken a step forward entering the 2025 season. He’s now up to 93 mph, a mark he hit at different Perfect Game and Prep Baseball Report winter showcases. He’s a lean, athletic 6-foot-3, 185 pounds with the look of a pitcher who could be throwing in the mid 90s in the near future.
