Duncan is a member of a talented high school recruiting class in 2026 for head coach Tim Corbin. As of right now, Vanderbilt ranks 4th overall in the 2026 high school recruiting cycle, according to Perfect Game.
The left-handed pitcher’s recent accomplishment of winning MVP around the best high school talent in Canada gives Vanderbilt a lot to be excited about.
