Prospect Breakdown



Shea Langeliers, Baylor
Langeliers had a career day at the plate on Saturday, setting an NCAA Tournament record with 11 RBI in one game as part of a 24-6 blowout against Omaha. Baylor’s catcher went 5-for-6 with a double, three homers and a walk – he hit a two-run shot in the first, a solo homer in the third, a two-run single in the fourth, a three-run double in the sixth and a three-run bomb in the seventh. The five-hit performance pushed Langeliers’ season average up nearly 20 points (.297 to .315) and the three home runs gives him 10 on the year.

After missing time early in the season with a hand injury Langeliers has slowly but surely reinforced his prospect standing relative to the draft with another strong season as part of an equally strong three-year career for the Bears. He was a Freshman All-American two seasons ago and is viewed as a likely choice in the first half of the first round due to his high floor. While he’s an obvious threat at the plate, his defense is what separates his profile, with very good receiving and blocking skills to go along with a strong, accurate arm. He heads into Monday as the 12th-ranked overall prospect for this year’s draft.

MLB Draft Report




Isaiah Campbell, Arkansas
In what resembled a Friday night pitching matchup in a Super Regional matchup, Arkansas ace Isaiah Campbell squared off against TCU ace Nick Lodolo for an opportunity to stay in the winners bracket. Campbell and the Razorbacks got the best of Lodolo and the Frogs with a 3-1 win, and Campbell in particular was fantastic. He ended up going eight innings allowing just one earned run on four hits and a walk while striking out eight.

Ranked 44th overall for this year’s draft, Campbell’s athleticism stands out on the mound with an easy, repeatable delivery. He sat in his usual 93-95 mph range in this game, mixing in his mid-80s slider and an upper-70s curveball from an arm slot that is close to over-the-top, doing a good job to use his 6-foot-4, stature and that arm slot to pitch on a downhill plane.

Matt Cronin, Arkansas
Cronin came in the ninth for Arkansas to secure the victory over TCU, striking out the last batter of the game swinging through a fastball for his 12th save of year. Cronin appears to be made for closing out games with a max effort approach in which he aggressively attacks opposing hitters with mid-90s fastballs. The pitch is extremely difficult to catch up to, especially as a lefthanded pitcher, and once he establishes his heater he can drop in a hard mid- to upper-70s curveball, although he threw almost entirely fastballs in this quick 1-2-3 frame.

Ranked 56th overall heading into this year’s draft, Cronin could be the first reliever taken.

Nick Lodolo, TCU
Although the numbers may not show it, Lodolo came out firing opposite Arkansas ace Isaiah Campbell, throwing 96-97 mph fastballs before settling down to the 92-96 mph range while mixing in his usual hard-breaking, hard-spinning low- to mid-80s slider. Both pitches are more difficult to hit given the lower arm slot angle he comes at opposing hitters with and he has the athleticism to repeat that delivery and maintain his arm speed between his fastball-slider 1-2 punch. Arkansas was able to chase Lodolo from the game after he walked the leadoff batter in the sixth inning sitting at 93 pitches. That runner came around to score, saddling Lodolo with the loss, but overall he pitched well, allowing just the one run (which was unearned) in five innings, allowing four hits with four walks and six strikeouts.

A PG All-American in high school, and an unsigned first round pick of the Pirates from the 2016 MLB Draft, Lodolo has enjoyed a steady progression during his three years at TCU. He is ranked eighth overall heading into this year’s draft and could be the very first pitcher taken off the board.

Ethan Small, Mississippi State
The SEC Pitcher of the Year, Samll continued to miss bats at a high rate against Central Michigan, fanning 10 batters in six innings of work while moving to 9-2 on the year after a 7-2 win, snapping CMU’s 19-game winning streak. Small was cruising through the early innings, although he did give up a two-run home run in his sixth and final inning of work, allowing five hits and three walks during his time on the mound.

Small entered the postseason second in the nation with 150 strikeouts and it’s possible he surpasses Noah Song (161), whose Navy team didn’t qualify for the postseason, depending on how far Mississippi State advances. Ranked 52nd overall among draft prospects, Small doesn’t throw as hard as many of the other high-profile players, topping out at 92 and typically working in the 87-90 mph range from the left side, but he changes speed and commands his three-pitch mix very well to miss bats.

Alek Manoah, West Virginia
Manoah has enjoyed a big, breakout season emerging as the ace for West Virginia. Built big and strong, Manoah has good athleticism for his size, and while he’s always had high-octane stuff, his control/command profile has really developed this year.

While he took the loss against Duke he continued to show the stuff that makes him a likely first round pick come Monday. The fastball sat in the mid-90s, touching higher, while mixing in a sharp mid-80s slider that gives him two premium, swing-and-miss offerings.

College Player Database Report


Michael Busch, North Carolina
UNC’s first baseman, Busch went 1-for-5 on Friday with a double and a run scored and fared better on Saturday, going 2-for-5 with two runs scored and a two-run home run in the seventh inning. He and freshman slugger Aaron Sabato, one of Friday's heros, went back-to-back in that seventh inning as part of a big 16-1 win over Liberty in which the Tar Heels scored 14 of their 16 runs from the sixth inning on.

Busch is one of the most polished, and patient, hitters at the college level. The team’s No. 2 hitter for much of the year, he has batted leadoff in each of the first two games of the postseason to take advantage of his on-base skills. He can drive the ball from left-center to right with excellent bat speed and overall hand/wrist strength.

College Player Database Report




Greg Jones, UNCW
After going 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored on Friday, Jones responded with a 2-for-4, a walk and three RBI despite having their season come to an end in an elimination contest against Tennessee. Jones is a unique, true five-tool, quick-twitch athlete who can affect the outcome of a game in a variety of ways. On Friday, despite taking the 0-fer, Jones made a few dazzling defensive plays showing his range, looseness to his action and arm strength. On Saturday he showed his quick, line drive swing with a pair of run-scoring singles.

Jones’ speed is his best tool, swiping 42 bases this year in 52 attempts. He cut down his strikeouts, and errors, significantly from his freshman year in 2018 to this season, hitting .343 with 12 doubles, nine triples and five home runs, evidence of his ability to drive the ball to the gaps, as well as over the fence, while using his speed to stretch extra bases. There has been some talk about the possibility of moving Jones to center field to take advantage of his speed, but his actions at shortstop are too enticing at this point in time to move him without giving him a chance to stick. An age-eligible sophomore, Jones is ranked 58th overall heading into Monday’s draft but could sneak into the first round due to his rare talents.

College Fall Notebook: November 6

Virginia Cavaliers  2026 In Review:  Under the leadership of first year Head Coach Chris Pollard, the Cavaliers won 37 games which was the second most victories by a first-year coach in program history.  Virginia went (37-23) finishing tied for 8th in the ACC and earned an at-large bid to the Hattiesburg Regional.  They fielded a talented offense that averaged over 8-runs per game, highlighted by AJ Gracia and Eric Becker who were both selected on Day 1 of the 2026 MLB Draft.  While the defensive squad wasn’t quite as elite as usual, they were ultra-competitive on the mound with a strong rotation and lock down bullpen.  With plenty of talent returning for Pollard and his staff in ’27, they should be a force on a national level once again.  Impact Returners:    Senior Antonio Perrotta (.266/.459/.431, 5 HR, 6 2B, 24 RBI) experienced...

14u National All State Scout Notes: Day 1

Tyler Russo
Article Image
2031 C/OF Jace Winston (Fuquay-Varina, N.C.) had a really nice day at the dish as he picked up a couple hits in his first game, both well-struck, and then launched a bomb in game 2. He’s one of the more physical players here who can really impact the baseball already, and the consistency in which he’s hitting this fall is a great sign going into 2027. 2031 SS/RHP Weston Stalls (Blackstock, S.C.) came in for a couple innings of relief on the day and showed off the arm talent running the fastball up to 87. It’s a fast arm and he generates real life to the fastball, while the breaking ball is a good pitch as well.   ‘31 SS Parker Smith (NC) went 3-for-3 to open the weekend, this a line drive single the other way. 6’2/140 & can accelerate the barrel already, intriguing projection. #NatAllState @PG_Coastal https://t.co/Z7C5kDGdIM — Perfect Game...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 70

Ron Wolforth
Article Image
That Off-Season Program Wasn't Built for Your Son. It Was Built for Nobody. The Harsh Reality of Skill Development · Part 2 of 5 Somewhere right now, a pitcher is starting a twelve-week off-season program. It came from his travel team. Or a trainer. Or a big leaguer's Instagram. It has phases and a logo, and every kid in the building got the same one. Here is the harsh reality. That program was written before anybody looked at your son. It doesn't know he exists. It was built for the average pitcher... and the average pitcher does not exist. A Template Fixes Somebody's Problem. Maybe Not His. Every pitcher who is stuck is stuck for a reason. We call that reason his constraint... the thing that is actually limiting him right now. For one kid it is strength. For the next it is mobility. For the next it is a mechanical inefficiency, or an arm that isn't recovering, or a body that...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 69

Your Son's April Arm Injury is Being Scheduled Right Now   The Harsh Reality of Skill Development - Part 1 of 5 Let me start this series with something most people in baseball won't say out loud. In my experience, a great many of the arm problems we will see next April are being set up right now... in October, November and December. Not necessarily because a young pitcher is throwing too much. Often it's because of what happens when he stops. Here is the pattern. I have watched it for more than thirty years. The fall season ends. The arm is tired, so the family does what seems like the responsible thing.  They shut it down. No throwing. For a lot of kids, no anything. Weeks go by. The holidays come and go. Then somebody looks at a calendar in January and realizes tryouts are three weeks away. Suddenly, an arm that has done nothing since October is asked to go from zero to game...

Complete Class of 2027 Rankings With the end of the summer and fall seasons behind us, it was time for a quick refresh of the 2027 class rankings. Below you'll be able to read about some of the biggest risers up the board, led by North Carolina outfielder John Hucko who jumped more than 110 spots to now sit at No. 20 overall.  John Hucko, OF, Charlotte, N.C. Previous Rank: 132 | Current Rank: 20 Hucko makes a huge leap into the top-20 players in the class after a dominating showing in Jupiter. It’s as good of a left-handed swing as you’ll come across with pretty easy impact to all parts. He’s a supreme athlete with all the tools to play center long term and is a present plus runner. Hucko is a name that cemented his prospect status in Jupiter and will be a name to follow for next year’s MLB Draft. Elyjah Mason, SS, Lake Forest, Calif. Previous Rank: 71 |...
