Rankings: New Updates As 2026 Extra Elite 100 Starts Today

Today, we began our look at the updated 2026 Extra Elite 100 rankings.

These are the incoming sophomores who have been seen, nominated and recommended as the best in their class.

For the 2026’s, we received over 1,500 submissions and talked with many top club coaches, trainers, position coaches to find out who has especially been impressive.

Here are some important notes to remember as the ratings system has been revised:

• From this class (2026) onward, the Extra Elite 100 will be a true 100 list.
• The top 100 is based on in-house scouting along with input/feedback from selected travel ball coaches and organizational heads who have competed against top teams nationwide.
• Though no more ties in the 1-100 range, there will be MORE opportunities for players to be honored including…
• … the NEW Regional Rankings to cover the following areas:
• • • Region 1—Northeast (Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia)
