Prospect Breakdown



Erik Miller, Stanford
Miller served as Stanford’s Sunday starter all season long and head coach David Esquer saved his big lefthander for the second of their two games on Sunday knowing he had to win two games, and another on Monday, to advance. Miller followed Alex Williams’ complete game win against Sacramento State with a solid performance against Fresno State. He turned to his big-breaking curveball frequently, setting up the pitch with an upper-80s to low-90s fastball. His arm slot comes somewhat straight over the top, using his towering stature well to pitch on a downhill plane. He ran out of gas in the sixth inning but finished the game with 12 punchouts in 5 2/3 innings, good enough to pick up the win.

Big tall and strong, Miller’s combination of size and stuff made him an appealing prospect coming out of a Missouri high school. He has always shown flashes of dominance but hasn’t consistently put the pieces together while at Stanford. He enters the draft as the 78th-ranked prospect with a ceiling as big as his 6-foot-5, 220-pound stature.

Tommy Henry, Michigan
Although Henry spent the entire season as Michigan’s ace, he followed rotation mates Karl Kauffmann and Jeff Criswell in the starting order this weekend in Corvallis. With host Oregon State bowing out early, it gave Michigan an opportunity to emerge as the Regional winner, which they still may do, but they’re going to have to wait a day as Creighton came from behind late to force a decisive Regional Finals contest on Monday.

Which is no fault of Henry’s, who left the contest with what seemed like a comfortable lead with one out n the eighth inning, only to have the Wolverines’ bullpen blow the save opportunity. Henry did what he has all season prior to that, filling up the strike zone with upper-80s to low-90s fastball and a sharp upper-70s to low-80s slider. He’s ranked 49th heading into the draft.

Dominic Fletcher, Arkansas
Fletcher had a nice day on Sunday helping to propel to Super Regional action as they continue to make amends from their missed national championship opportunity from 2018. Fletcher kicked off the scoring in the first inning, hitting a two-run double in a 2-for-4 performance at the plate as part of the Razorbacks 6-0 victory over TCU. It was Fletcher’s 23rd two-bagger of the season.

Overall Fletcher has enjoyed a solid three-year career for Arkansas. A lefthanded hitter, he has a short, direct yet powerful swing to the baseball with the ability to drive the ball to the gaps and over the fence. There’s some speed to his game and his best tool is his arm strength which will continue to serve him well at the next level either in center or right field. He enters the draft as the 92nd-best prospect.

College Player Database Report (Feb. 27)


Josh Smith, LSU
It will be interesting to see where Smith is draft as a lefthanded hitting shortstop with very good athleticism, a little bit of pop and a little bit of speed. He stole his 19th and 20th bases of the year on Saturday and hit his ninth home run to lead off the bottom of the first inning on Sunday. One inning later he hit a two-run triple while going 4-for-10 in three games as LSU advanced to Super Regional play.

Smith was an interesting prospect coming out of high school and enjoyed a productive freshman season. He missed most of his sophomore year and reports out of fall ball were especially positive as he headed into his junior year looking to make up for lost time. He’s ranked 64th among all draft-eligible prospects.

Aaron Schunk, Georgia
Schunk had a second two home run game in Georgia’s first contest on Sunday, a 13-0 win over FAU to advance to the Regional final, where their season came to an end at home – for the second year in a row – to Florida State. Schunk may have gone 0-4 in the elimination game, he came up huge in the first game, going 2-for-4 with the two bombs and six total RBI. He went 2-for-5 on Friday with a pair of dingers and 2-for-4 on Saturday with a pair of RBI, driving in 13 runs in four games.

Although Schunk also serves as Georgia’s closer he did not make a pitching appearance over the weekend. View Friday’s recap for more on Schunk.


Drew Mendoza, Florida State
Covered in Friday’s Regional Recap, Mendoza enjoyed a strong weekend, finishing FSU’s Regional-clinching weekend with a 2-for-4 performance with a pair of doubles, a walk, two runs scored and one RBI. Mendoza went 7-for-15 (.467) with six runs scored, five driven in three doubles and two home runs as part of Florida State’s huge showing in Athens to advance, out-scoring host Georgia 22-4 in two games.

View Friday’s recap for more on Mendoza.




Chase Strumpf, UCLA
Strumpf had been swinging a cold bat heading into Sunday’s game, as even the triple he was credited for on Saturday was a misplayed ball by LMU’s right fielder. However, he changed that early in UCLA’s re-match against Loyola Marymount later on Sunday, hitting a three-run home run in the third inning that would give the Bruins all the cushion they would need to force a decisive winner-take-all game on Monday.

Strumpf entered the year as a Preseason All-American and enjoyed another solid season at the plate. He’s the 48th-ranked draft prospect with an intriguing second base profile. He’s at hit best driving the ball to the gaps with a knack for hitting doubles oppo to the right-center field as a righthanded hitter. He’s a good overall athlete that does everything well and profiles well both offensively and defensively at second base.

College Player Database Report




Michael Toglia, UCLA
Like teammate Chase Strumpf, Michael Toglia had been swinging somewhat of a cool bat prior to Sunday’s action. He hit not one but two home runs for UCLA, one in each of their two victories on the day, going a combined 4-for-7 with three runs scored and three RBI. Toglia is a rare lefthanded throwing, switch-hitting slugger with a tall, athletic and still slender frame that can hit some majestic, tape-measure shots when he gets fully extended.

Toglia as been on the scouting radar since his big freshman season, and his two home run, three RBI day gives him 16 jacks and 60 ribbies for the season. He’s ranked 68th overall heading into the draft.

Hunter Bishop, Arizona State
Bishop didn’t get much of a chance to show what he’s all about in Baton Rouge (although his teammate Spencer Torkelson, the top prospect eligible for next year’s draft, did), going 2-for-9 in the series. However, he walked four times on Saturday and three more times on Sunday, hitting a two-run double in a heartbreaking loss to Southern Miss. Bishop is ranked 10th among all players eligible for this year’s draft and is a rare potential five-tool prospect packaged in an athletic 6-foot-5, 210-pound frame.

MLB Draft Report
College Player Database Report




Seth Johnson, Campbell
Johnson has one of the more interesting baseball backgrounds of any player expected to be drafted on the first day of this year’s draft. A converted middle infielder, Johnson spent his first two innings at Louisburg JC and appeared in only six innings last year as a sophomore, striking out 11 during that time. The move appears to be a very astute one as Johnson had a big season for the Fighting Camels, posting a 4.61 ERA in 14 games (11 starts) with a 81-to-30 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 66 1/3 innings.

Campbell likely wanted to hold Johnson until Sunday but turned to him out of the bullpen in their eventual Regional Finals-clinching victory over Quinnipiac, working 5 1/3 innings in relief, giving up a pair of earned runs on seven hits (and no walks) with four strikeouts. He worked mostly in the low-90s in this one, but has approached triple digits with the foundation for three secondary pitches, the best of which is his mid-80s slider. He is ranked 35th heading into the draft as Campbell is in the driver’s seat with only one game to win in the Greenville Regional.

Coppy's Corner: July 14 Summer Edition

John Coppolella
Article Image
The amateur players in the Cape Cod Baseball League are the future stars of the 2027 MLB Draft. The league runs from June 13th through August 2nd. Games are played at historic stadiums in Old New England towns. It’s beautiful and charming. Hollywood even made a movie about the Cape Cod League ~25 years ago called Summer Catch. It scored an 8% (!) on Rotten Tomatoes, but, on the plus side, it featured 2001 Jessica Biel in a starring role.  It was so much fun writing Coppy’s Column this spring. My hope is to highlight a pitcher and position player each week from the Cape. And, who knows, maybe somewhere out there Jessica Biel is reading it.    Player of the Week: Carter White – Falmouth Commodores  Talk about making a great first impression! White introduced himself in a very loud and boisterous way this past week by going 9-17 (.529 AVG) with 6 RBI...

East Cobb Goes Undefeated, Takes 14U BCS Twenty years after winning the inaugural 14U BCS National Championship in 2006, the East Cobb Astros once again stood atop the tournament, defeating the Original Florida Pokers 7-4 at JetBlue Park.

A rather unknown for me and my staff going into the event, Tabler managed to cement himself by event’s end. It’s a true two-way projection at this stage, while he has the size in the 6-foot-3 long and loose frame, the strength will continue to add on to the 175-pound stature. While he only had two extra-base hits (triple, home run), the bat-to-ball skills were the calling card, and...

After an action-packed week at the 16u WWBA Championships, the tournament came down to two of the nation’s top teams battling for one of travel baseball’s most prestigious titles. No. 5 ranked SBA Bolts National faced No. 60 Alpha Prime 2028 after both teams reached the championship undefeated, but the SBA Bolts were the sole team to exit without a loss, defeating Alpha Prime 10-2 in mercy rule fashion and capture the national title behind dominant pitching and explosive offensive performances. The SBA Bolts were perfect throughout their week, running the table and going 11-0 while outscoring their opponents by an impressive margin of 108-25. “It was awesome,” SBA Head Coach Travis Thompson said on the mercy rule victory. “It just kind of culminated our week.

Article Image
Ridge Whitfield (2029, Charlotte, NC) stands at 6-foot, 158 pounds with an athletic build that should allow him to maintain his mobility and quick-twitch actions as he continues to develop. He bats and throws left-handed. Whitfield locates his fastball to both sides of the plate, mixes his pitches effectively, and keeps hitters off balance. He competes on every pitch and doesn’t back down in big situations. Whitfield threw 5.1 innings, allowing three hits, one earned run, and no walks while striking out three on 75 pitches (58% strikes). He attacked the zone with a fastball that sat 73 mph and topped out at 78 mph, mixing in a 67 mph breaking ball and a 68-70 mph changeup to keep hitters off balance. Sam Jobe (2029, Charlotte, NC) stands at 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, with a lean, athletic frame and plenty of projection. He bats and throws right-handed. Jobe shows good feel for the...

Jake Karpell (2030, Holmdel, NJ) got on the barrel a couple times in game five and totaled three rbis. Started his production with a single then later on hammered a heater down the right field and flew around the bases for a three run inside the park home run. Keeps the hands inside at contact really well and got the head around on the homer. Runs well and can hit it around the yard in the approach.  Luke Sauer (2030 C, FL)  put his hit tool on display with a well-struck double, continuing to show why he is regarded as one of the top catchers in the class. Owns a big frame with present physicality and does a good job keeping the hands connected throughout the swing. The barrel works efficiently through the zone and there is a solid offensive foundation present. Currently ranked as the No. 66 catcher nationally.  Gavin Politz (2030 OF, FL) continued a strong tournament...

Connor Ashley (‘29, FL) has struck out six over six no hit innings thus far. Got the FB up to 87 w/ feel for a sharp two-plane slider. #PGWS @Florida_PG pic.twitter.com/M7mEmTH8pk — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) July 12, 2026 Connor Ashley (’29, Minneola, FL) was stellar on Sunday, striking out seven in a seven inning no hitter. He operates from a medium-to-large right-handed frame with length, room to fill, and lower half strength. Ashley works exclusively from the stretch, starting at the belt before working into a higher compact leg lift, firing down the mound via a long arm action. He releases from a high three-quarters slot, with the fastball jumping from the hand up to 87. Ashley mixed in a sharp 11-5 breaking ball with depth and late bite, a true swing-and-miss offering.  Matthew Hernandez (’29, Miami Lakes, FL) has posted strong numbers on both...
