Perfect Game has released the lineups for the 2026 DICK’S All‑American Classic: 60 of the top high school baseball prospects from across the U.S., Puerto Rico and Canada will converge in Philadelphia on Aug. 16. The showcase — the first All‑American Classic on the East Coast since 2005 — offers a rare up‑close look at players likely to shape the next MLB Draft class.
Attendance and attention will be high: amateur scouts, pro organizations and college coaches routinely use this event to evaluate players against elite peers. For local fans, the game gains extra resonance because it will be staged at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Snapshot: the field and the stakes
Sixty players were selected to compete — representing a broad geographic mix and a variety of roles on the diamond. California supplies the largest contingent, while Florida and Texas also have heavy representation. The rosters include position players, pitchers and several two‑way athletes who can impact both on the mound and at the plate.

- Geography: Players hail from 20 U.S. states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada; California leads with 12 selections.
- Composition: The groups are made up of 19 infielders, 17 pitchers, 15 outfielders and nine catchers.
- Local connection: Jersey City native Finnian O’Loughlin is among the East selections, giving the event a Philadelphia‑area presence.
Notable family connections
Several prospects carry recognizable surnames that tie them to the professional ranks. That lineage can increase attention but doesn’t guarantee outcome — scouts will still judge on current tools and performance.
Among those with pro pedigrees are Frank Thomas III (Team East), the son of Hall of Famer Frank Thomas; right‑hander Striker Pence (Team West), who is related to Hunter Pence; and outfielder Drake Hawpe, son of former All‑Star Brad Hawpe. Team East infielder Chase Fuller is also notable as the son of former NFL defensive back Corey Fuller.
Why scouts and draft watchers care
Perfect Game’s All‑American Classic has been a reliable preview of future professionals. Earlier this month, 59 former Perfect Game All‑Americans were picked in the 2026 MLB Draft, including 16 first‑round selections and six of the first eight overall choices — a reminder that performances at summer showcases can translate into draft capital.
This year’s event is also significant because it marks Perfect Game’s first All‑American Classic at Citizens Bank Park and the event’s return to the East Coast after two decades away.
