2026 MLB draft rankings: Updated top 150 prospects

College baseball conference tournaments are about to start, so it's time for an updated MLB draft rankings as games get underway ahead of the NCAA tournament.

The top four players stay in the same order as our most recent draft rankings, but there's a lot of shuffling beyond that. As referenced in last week's first mock draft, there's a lot of disagreement beyond the top three or four players. Justin Lebron and Chris Hacopian are sliding a bit while prep position players Eric Booth Jr., Jacob Lombard and Trevor Condon are all moving up to fill that void. The collegiate bats projected to go in the middle of the first round are disappointing many evaluators, and the college pitchers ranked 15th through 24th that finish strong are likely to scoot up the board down the stretch.

Further down the list, Bo Lowrance, Archer Horn and Cole Prosek are moving into the late first round while Jace Mataczynski and Luke Williams have been rising this spring into the second round. Jack Slightom, Kolby Stringer, Landon Thiel and Cole Dennis are the top popup prep pitchers from this spring, and they all have a shot at seven figures.

Building on the first entry in our MLB draft buzz blog, the top college-reliever-to-pro-starter candidates are LSU's Deven Sheerin and Florida's Luke McNeillie, with Arkansas' Carson Wiggins a stealth option coming back from elbow surgery and Clemson's Justin LeGuernic a long-time favorite from his high school days.

These players were ranked using the FV (future value) system that I apply for pro prospects. The number in parentheses is the player's age on draft day, a key number in every team's draft model; in short, younger players allow for more projection.
