One of FSU baseball's top commits has added another national accolade to an already decorated high school career. Seminoles commit Landon Thome was named to Baseball America's 2026 High School All-America Second Team, earning recognition as one of the nation's top prep players following a standout senior season.
The annual teams honor the best high school talent across the country and feature many of the players expected to be selected near the top of future MLB Drafts. The honor marks Thome's third All-America selection, further highlighting the consistency he displayed throughout his final high school season.
Thome put together an eye-popping offensive campaign, finishing the season with a .533 batting average, eight home runs, 16 doubles, nine triples, 35 RBIs, 63 runs scored and a 1.676 OPS. He also showcased his speed on the bases, stealing 49 bases in 50 attempts, making him one of the most dynamic all-around players in the country.
The combination of power, speed and consistent contact helped separate Thome from one of the nation's deepest high school talent pools. His ability to impact games in multiple ways made him a natural fit for Baseball America's All-America squad and further cemented his reputation as one of the premier position players in the 2026 recruiting class.
The recognition also continues a strong offseason for Florida State's future recruiting. Earlier this summer, Seminoles softball signee McLaine Hudson was honored as the Rivals High School Softball Offensive Player of the Year, while several current Florida State players earned invitations to the 2026 MLB Draft Combine. Thome's latest All-America honor adds another nationally recognized prospect to Florida State's incoming recruiting class.
