Wednesday November 11, 2015 marked signing day for College Baseball. Listed below are the national rankings for all SEC teams, along with a few notes on each school’s signing class. While expecting every prospects to show up on campus is certainly impossible, it will definitely be something to revisit in a year once it’s known which prospects ultimately end up opting for the Major League draft.

The classes will be listed in order and national rankings will be given in parentheses. Rankings are based on PerfectGame.org
