CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami baseball program's 2027 recruiting class has been ranked No. 15 nationally by Baseball America, the publication announced Wednesday.
The Hurricanes' incoming class is highlighted by four-star outfielder Jake Cueto and three-star right-handed pitchers Chris Grasso and Ryder Simon, each of whom earned recognition in Baseball America's national prospect rankings.
Cueto headlines the group as a left-handed hitter with an advanced approach at the plate, strong contact ability and speed. The 5-foot-11 outfielder also possesses a strong throwing arm and the defensive tools to develop into a center fielder at the collegiate level, per Baseball America.
Grasso and Simon add a pair of nationally recognized arms to Miami's recruiting class, with both receiving three-star evaluations from the publication.
The No. 15 ranking marks another nationally recognized recruiting class for the Hurricanes under head coach J.D. Arteaga. Miami's 2026 recruiting class finished No. 12 in Baseball America's final rankings, giving the program back-to-back top-15 classes.
Baseball America's 2027 rankings feature a new evaluation system based on individual prospect star ratings. The publication will continue evaluating the class throughout the recruiting cycle, with additional prospects having the opportunity to earn national recognition.
