The start of the school year can signify the end of the summer season.  With the end of the summer, and the start of the fall, our scouting staff went to work to compile information on all the players that were seen over the past 3 months.  The Prep Baseball Scouting staff saw close to 1000 athletes this summer, updating and adding player grades in the rankings database.

The 2027 Class is still in its infancy in terms of coverage and confidence in the class rankings.  While are a long way from the finish, the North Carolina scouting staff was able to expand the rankings from 75 to 125 of the top players in NC with some ease.  The fall and winter will be huge for this class as we will begin to see who starts their climb to their potential ceiling.

Below we look at 5 players that made a jump in the 2027 class.  While we are still in the beginning phases of getting ot know all the players in the 2027 class, there is an obvious level of talent at the top of the chart, as well as throughout the entire rankings list.  Expanded to the top 125 players, the updated North Carolina class of 2027 rankings can be seen HERE.

2027 Class Rankings Update

High Risers 

The early rankings for a class can be very volatile across the board.  There is a lot of projection done on the FR and SO class as their bodies and frames mature and add strength.  Several players in this rankings update made big jumps based on their developement or the ability for the North Carolina Scouting staff to get to know the player in several different venues.
