By Shooter Hunt
Vice President, Scouting

The country’s top prospects inside the 2026 and 2027 grad classes met in Long Beach, Calif., Aug. 4-8 for the Underclass Area Code Games. This is an event that helps introduce evaluators and college recruiting coordinators to these grad classes, which were first unveiled on the national stage at the end of July at the Prep Baseball Future Games.
