Hucko really impressed in Jupiter. Wrote about him here:

John Hucko has entered the first-round conversation in our updated 2027 draft rankings 👀
BA's Carlos Collazo says the five-star prep outfielder looks like one of the best pure athletes in this class.

Sato has been outstanding this fall. Mid to high 90s with a plus splitter. Logged another fantastic outing today against outside competition.

Alabama is bringing on a young impact arm in Michael Senay 💪
Senay earned second-team Freshman All-America honors at South Florida in 2026 after posting a 3.78 ERA with 55 strikeouts and 17 walks across 81 innings. Now, the righthander will take his talents to Tuscaloosa ⚾️
BA's top college newcomers:

BA’s top projected newcomer is James Tronstein, which makes Vanderbilt the only team in the SEC to have a freshman as the top newcomer.
(And it’s not due to having a small or bad transfer class either!)
Newcomers to know 👀
We looked at incoming freshmen and transfers for every P4 school.
These are the new faces who could impact the 2027 college baseball season.

Another fun fact for you: If Lawson goes 1-1 he’d be the first Canadian ever to top the draft and just the third player born outside the contiguous United States, joining Travis Bazzana (Australia) and Carlos Correa (Puerto Rico).
We made a switch at the top of our rankings with @GatorsBB shortstop Brendan Lawson now in the No. 1 spot. It’s the best hit-power combo in the class with solid athleticism to boot. Could become the first Gator in any major sport to be selected first overall.

"There's a natural ease to [Derek] Vazquez's game," says BA's Jacob Rudner. 😮💨
The four-star prep prospect ranks No. 2 in the 2028 high school class.
Here's why he impressed at PG's 2026 WWBA Championship: buff.ly/w07WlXu

Big add for the Longhorns. Sperandio is already 93-95 and touches 96 with feel to spin a pair of breaking balls. Another weapon in pitching coach Max Weiner’s arsenal.
News: Grant Sperandio, a four-star ⭐️ RHP and Baseball America’s No. 28 player in the 2027 class, is graduating early and will join the @TexasBaseball team for the 2027 season.
The Longhorns had the No. 4 recruiting class in the country for 2026 and are adding another premium arm to an already standout pitching group.

California SS Carter Hadnot, the top uncommitted player in the 2027 class, has committed to @OU_Baseball.
More on his commitment, plus a Q&A with Hadnot about his decision, his summer and his goals moving forward:

Huge addition to Oklahoma’s 2027 class.
Carter Hadnot, a five-star 2027 prep shortstop, is committing to Oklahoma ⚾️
Hadnot is a projected first-rounder in the 2027 MLB Draft, but if he makes it to campus, it will be for the three-time national champion Sooners 🏆️

Life is GOOD for the Rays and Brewers.
They are headed to the World Series.
They also had two of the three best farm systems in baseball in August 😳

Thought Call looked good and unburdened physically yesterday in UCLA's scrimmage against Long Beach State. Center field is a good home for his athleticism, which he also showed off on the bases.
UCLA outfielder Phoenix Call is on breakout watch 👀
With a defined defensive home, a clearer path to everyday at-bats and a physical tool set that has always exceeded the stat line, 2027 could finally be the season in which Call's athleticism begins to translate into sustained production.
