The prep baseball season is well underway, although the extension of winter in New England has brought with it a healthy dose of postponements.

Still, most prep teams have played a handful of games over two weeks, and there have been many outstanding performances to note. One theme from this week's list of Peak Prep Performers is that underclassmen are well represented. Of the 12 players highlighted, five are in the Class of 2027.

Throughout the season, we’ll run a weekly watch list each Friday, recognizing standout performances across the region. A friendly reminder, it is impossible to attend every high school game in New England, so we rely on reports from coaches and social media accounts to select the performers in a given week.
