Drew Ward out of Leedey (Okla.) comes in at No. 1. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound prospect has been impressive in summer showcases, showing powerful batting skills. He's joined at the top by Valley Christian's (San Jose, Calif.) Bryson Brigman, a 6-foot, 175-pounder who started every game last year and was named the San Jose area Freshman of the Year by the Mercury News.

Shortstops make up the majority of the spots in the Top 10, with Jeffersonville's (Ind.) Drew Ellis coming in at No. 5 and Pulaski Academy's (Little Rock, Ark.) Blake Wiggins holding down the No. 10 spot. Ellis played on the Jeffersonville Little League team that reached the Little League World Series in 2008. Wiggins, meanwhile, is a past member of Team USA.
