Summer baseball is a very useful scouting tool for evaluating both high school and college players alike. But, keep in mind that it is not by any means the be all and end all. Players change, both for the worse and for the better at this early stage in their careers. Players have breakout summers then slide in the spring. And, then there are players that scouts feel like they have a fully formed evaluation of that turn out to be far better than they realized when the spring rolls around. There’d no greater example of that this spring than Arkansas’s Chris Oliver.

2024 Mock Draft: April 11

MLB Draft Board Update: Top 400
The 2024 MLB Draft doesn’t happen for another three months, but it has already drawn a reputation for being a bit light in terms of overall talent compared to years past. The truth is we’re not going to know that answer for at least another five years or so but there are strengths to this class particularly at the top of the draft.
