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.

College Player Database Report (May 23)
College Player Database Report (Feb. 27)


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.

Collegiate Player Report Database While there will not be any new faces in this weeks Top 25, there is quite a bit of shakeup as the season, somehow, becomes even more unpredictable.  There were several teams in the poll that dropped weekend series and, in some cases, registered losing records in the last seven days.  There is sure to be more chaos this week as virtually every conference starts league play and the race for regular season titles begins.  The UCLA Bruins (13-2) remain No. 1 as their sizzling hot bats led the way to a perfect (4-0) week and they swept their first Big Ten series of the year.  As one of only two remaining undefeated teams in the nation, the Texas Longhorns (15-0) jump to No. 2 before they open SEC play this weekend in Austin.  No. 3 Georgia Tech and No. 4 Mississippi State both (14-2) hold their spots in the poll after both dropped a...

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: March 4

Nick Herfordt

The 2026 college baseball season is starting to reveal its early storylines, and across the Division II and Division III landscape a few programs have already forced their way into the spotlight. From the blistering start by the Pittsburg State Gorillas baseball that rocketed them to the top of the rankings, to the steadily rising championship ambitions of the Taylor Trojans baseball, the national picture is beginning to take shape. In Division III, heavyweight programs like the Trinity Tigers baseball and the Wisconsin–Whitewater Warhawks baseball have already traded blows in one of the season’s first statement series, while emerging challengers such as the Keene State Owls baseball are looking to turn early momentum into a breakout year. With many teams still just getting their seasons underway, the rankings remain fluid, but the early results are already giving us clues...

As we get rolling deeper into the spring here in the southern states, other states are only a few weeks away from their seasons beginning and some are even starting the day this will be posted. We’ve concluded the first major event on the high school schedule, the PG High School Showdown, and it was an epic weekend in Hoover.

March 3 Perfect Game/Player of the Week:  Cider Canon, OF, Duke  The Duke Blue Devils (11-3) went through massive changes in the offseason, with a new coaching staff and heavy roster turnover like is often seen in the college game today.  That hasn’t held them back as they have kind of flown under the radar on their way to a tie for the most wins in the nation.  They won 4 out 5 games last week and Cider Canon was the driving force behind their offensive onslaught.  The 5-11/180 outfielder from San Marino, CA put together an incredible week collecting 9 hits in 14 at-bats, good for a .643 BA, scoring 7 runs, with 3 walks, 4 home runs and driving in a total of 10 runs.  After a successful couple years at Davidson College, Cider made the trip north to Durham and has fit right into the Blue Devil’s high-octane offense.  For the season, he is...
