This was certainly a noteworthy week for recruits in the Class of 2027. On the heels of the Perfect Game WWBA World Championship event in Jupiter, Fla., three New England prospects in the Class of 2027 committed to D1 schools.
Northeastern landed a Dexter Southfield pitcher who recently reclassified as a '27. The University of Florida nabbed Rhode Island's top prospect, who happens to throw 95 mph. And UMass landed an under-the-radar, albeit physical right-hander from Connecticut.
Whether it’s through prep/high school or the travel ranks, New Englanders are routinely bound for some of the nation’s top college baseball programs. Many stay within the region, but the point remains: The college baseball ranks – across all three divisions – are chock-full of local players. To get insight into what’s coming, we have a running database of all college-bound players from New England. Players, parents and coaches are welcome to submit updates.
