Every class has its influencers, but the Class of 2026 has developed into one of the most recognizable groups in recent years. These athletes have been visible on the national stage since 12U and 14U, and the programs behind them have shaped the competitive landscape across every major event. By tracking long-term evaluation data, nomination volume, and multi-year performance patterns, Extra Inning Softball has identified the organizations that consistently rise to the surface.
These are the teams you’ve watched in deep bracket runs, the ones crowding Power Pool schedules, and the programs whose players seem to appear everywhere—from big-moment highlights to regional watchlists to national stages. Their rosters are loaded. Their reputations are strong. And their impact shows up clearly inside our analytics.
This isn’t a ranking.
It’s a recognition of the Programs That Define the Class of 2026—the names every softball family already knows.
