As we moved moved along with these draft prospect profiles, we’ve noted more than a few times that these players arrive at their elite status from all different angles. They don’t all follow a typical path, and that’s true of UCF lefthander, Eric Skoglund. Many of the players we’ve profiled made names for themselves playing for Team USA, or in the Cape Cod League, Northwoods League or the NECBL. Skoglund, while a known commodity for some time now, didn’t make his name for himself in any of those places. He quietly performed and developed as a prospect in the Florida League last summer, and has carried that over into this spring, as he pieced together a monster season.

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.

2025 MLB Draft: College Top 150
We're a year out, but several of these prospects have already established themselves as front line prospects who you'll want to know all about.
