Prep Baseball is taking the talent to South Beach. 

After the successful launch of the inaugural Prep Baseball All-American Game in 2023, the second annual game is coming to Miami on Sept. 14 – and it promises to be bigger and better. One thing won’t change: The All-American Game will still feature the best high school baseball talent in the nation, with the top high school seniors taking on the best junior prospects to see which class reigns supreme.

The classes of 2025 and 2026 will face off on Saturday, Sept. 14 at loanDepot Park, home of the Miami Marlins. Both teams will participate in a workout day at the ballpark on Friday, Sept. 13, as part of a full weekend of activities.

Scouting Report

Built in the mold of fellow Texan, and a 2022 first-round pick, Jett Williams (Mets), Cunningham has dominated the national circuit, especially when facing premium arms. Seeming to be fueled by any and all doubters, the shorter-stature, 5-foot-9, 170-pounder routinely has exceeded expectations both at the plate and on defense. A left-handed hitter with some sneaky thunder in the barrel, Cunningham generates exciting quickness with a tight, direct path before exploding out of the box while running angry. Though some will say the profile tells of a second baseman's future, the San Antonio native holds exceptional glove-to-hand capability with a quick release and strong arm that outshines the majority of his peers at the shortstop position, and it would be wise to not (ever) count him out.
