May 23, 2023
The post-season is upon us, which means it's time for our staff to sit down for a modest pre-summer update to the 2026 class rankings. There's no lack of size and physicality among the pitchers in this group, headlined by the #1 & #2 spots RHP Ty Van Valkenburg (Saugerties) & RHP Ben Schulman (Horace Greeley).
Some new faces entered the Top-10 with the additions of RHP Zach Bond (Horace Greeley) at #6, Army Commit RHP Quinn Miller (Clarkstown North) at # 7, RHP Luke Tisenchek (CBA-Albany) at #8 and OF Anthony Marsico at #9
