The group received a major boost when the top player in the 2029 class, OF @MattiasDiMaggio (Dos Pueblos HS, CA), reclassified to the 2028 class earlier this fall.
At 6-foot-4, 195 pounds, the left-handed hitter already boasts one of the most advanced hit/power profiles in the class and is quickly establishing himself as one of the most exciting young prospects in recent memory. ๐ @ShooterHunt

Another very thorough breakdown from @vinniealfino42 who takes a look at a number of players who made significant gains from 2025 to 2026.
Thanks to the verified data players get from @PrepBaseballCA events, it allows colleges to see the progress players make over time.

Incredibly thorough breakdown of the 2028 class nationally. Biggest takeaway for me is just how incredible and event the Future Games is. Already over 500 commits from the event.

Another loaded class in California. We got a glimpse of many of these players at the Future Games Tryouts/ProCase and the #PBFG26. The future continues to be bright in the Golden State.

Got a call from Tyce's head coach last year asking me what events he should come to. I said #WCSSG25. He came. He dominated. Fast forward to the #PBFG25 where he went & dominated. Next up was the #PBAAG26 where he was a standout again. It's been a fun journey, and it's not done.
