Line Drive HOT 100… the Final 2026 Player Rankings (By REGION)

Juliana "Goose" Hutchens of the Iowa Premier is one of the top-ranked prospect in the Midwest Region in the Class of 2027. See who else is ranked by REGION in today's wrap-up.

We finish our look at the 2026 Line Drive HOT 100 player rankings for now as we go across the nation by REGION and rank the players by their area of the country according to the following groupings: 

  • Region 1—Northeast
    • Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia
  • Region 2—Southeast
    • Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee
  • Region 3 – Midwest
    • Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Wisconsin
  • Region 4—Southwest/Mountain
    • Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, Wyoming
  • Region 5—West
    • Alaska, California, Hawaii, Nevada, Oregon, Washington

Note: the states attributed to the players are primarily based on where the club team is located as that, most of the time, corresponds to the region although we do recognize that some athletes play for travel teams in a different region.

Earlier this month, we started the OVERALL 2026 Line Drive HOT 100 which were published over two weeks in the following order:
