Top 100 College Draft Rankings For 2027
Before flipping the page to the new year, Baseball America presents an update to our 2027 college draft rankings that expands the list from 50 to 100 players and features new scouting reports for a number of key prospects heading into the 2027 draft cycle.
The top spot is once again claimed by Brendan Lawson, the sophomore Florida infielder who boasts an enticing hit-power combination and burgeoning track record of performance at the collegiate level. Lawson this past spring was perhaps the most impressive 2027-eligible hitter in the country and earned first-team freshman All-America honors before going on to slash .333/.398/.519 in the Cape Cod League.
