1. Pittsburgh Pirates | Marcelo Mayer, ss, Eastlake HS (Calif.)

Conventional wisdom here has the Pirates taking the top talent on the board but they’re still talking to a number of suitors. An underslot deal for Henry Davis has been heavily rumored as we approach 7pm EST and we also don’t think that the Vanderbilt arms are in play.

2. Texas Rangers | Jack Leiter, rhp, Vanderbilt

Probably no reason to overthink this as a number of teams have Jack Leiter as their top prospect in the draft. Some of the typical guys, namely position prospects, near the top are in play too like Kahlil Watson and Henry Davis.

3. Detroit Tigers | Jackson Jobe, rhp, Heritage Hall HS (Okla.)

With the draft playing out in this order, we believe that the decision will likely be down to Jackson Jobe or Brady House. Mayer would be the absolute first choice were he to fall and it’s probably around 50/50 right now for Jobe or House while the latest intel suggests Jobe; this could also be a sneaky spot for Henry Davis.

4. Boston Red Sox | Kumar Rocker, rhp, Vanderbilt

Boston’s preferred choice here would be Leiter but with him off the board the Red Sox will grab his teammate Kumar Rocker. Henry Davis’ name keeps popping up here and there are heavy rumors of a Matt McLain deal here with a massive prep overpay for a prospect like Davis Diaz, who they like, later on.

5. Baltimore Orioles | Kahlil Watson, ss, Wake Forest HS (N.C.)

We’ve heard consistently that Baltimore wants to cut a deal at 5 which makes the Vanderbilt arms and Jordan Lawlar untenable. Henry Davis would have to be in play should he slip this far but the Orioles brass has been enamored with Watson all spring; Colton Cowser underslot has been the other loud rumor here for the last couple of weeks.

6. Arizona Diamondbacks | Jordan Lawlar, ss, Dallas Jesuit HS (Tex.)

Long believed to be the top prep in the class, Lawlar also comes with reportedly the biggest price tag out of the prep group at the top. He’ll be in play along with Henry Davis but the Diamondbacks likely wouldn’t pass on the talent of Lawlar.

7. Kansas City Royals | Henry Davis, c, Louisville

As we mentioned earlier, Davis is in serious consideration for the first overall pick, but in this scenario he falls to Kansas City. We’ve heard that they love Kumar Rocker and Jordan Lawlar while this is the floor for Kahlil Watson.

8. Colorado Rockies | Brady House, ss, Winder-Barrow HS (Ga.)

House is in play as high as three and is considered the prep bat with the most power upside, drawing comparisons to former Rockie Nolan Arenado. We’ve heard them mentioned with Benny Montgomery, Ty Madden, and Colton Cowser with this likely being the ceiling for Montgomery and Madden.

9. Los Angeles Angels | Will Taylor, of, Dutch Fork HS (S.C.)

We’ve been told the Angels would love for Jobe or Watson to fall to them while they’ve been rumored to have been discussing a deal with other preps for a few weeks. Taylor is one of such preps, as is Georgia prep Bubba Chandler whose ceiling is probably here at 9.

10. New York Mets | Sal Frelick, of, Boston College

Ty Madden’s name has been heavily rumored here as have other college performers like Will Bednar, Colton Cowser, and others. This is also a possible landing spot for Jackson Jobe should he drop this far.

11. Washington Nationals | Ty Madden, rhp, Texas

The Nats typically try to pounce on arms that have a perceived defect and Madden fits that bill due to his fastball quality and shape. Will Bednar and Sam Bachman are also in play here and history would suggest that Gunnar Hoglund would fit that mold too.

12. Seattle Mariners | Colton Cowser, of, Sam Houston State

The Mariners are focusing heavily on college with Cowser being near the top of their list. Sal Frelick and Ty Madden would be in play here too while the Mariners are also be looking at UCLA shortstop Matt McLain.

13. Philadelphia Phillies | Andrew Painter, rhp, Calvary Christian Academy (Fla.)

This has been rumored heavily for the past couple of days leading up to the draft as the Phillies seem to be looking upside with this pick. Cowser is in play while Benny Montgomery has also been heavily rumored; there’s a connection here between Painter and Phillies manager Joe Girardi whose son Dante played at the same high school as Painter.

14. San Francisco Giants | Benny Montgomery, of, Red Land HS (Penn.)

Montgomery has been rumored as high as 8 and we’re told in this scenario the choice would be between Montgomery and Mississippi State right-hander Will Bednar. Some other college names are rumored here like McLain, Cowser, and others.

15. Milwaukee Brewers | Will Bednar, rhp, Mississippi State

Bednar was seen as a back end first rounder and then dominated in the College World Series, vaulting his stock. Jordan Wicks is also in play here and we’ve also heard the Brewers linked to preps Bubba Chandler and Harry Ford.

16. Miami Marlins | Harry Ford, c, North Cobb HS (Ga.)

Ford makes a lot of sense for the Marlins here but we don’t have a great read on the Marlins plans outside of zoning in on an upside prep. This will be Kim Ng’s first draft running the show in Miami so there are a number of possibilities in place.

17. Cincinnati Reds | Bubba Chandler, rhp/ss, North Oconee (Ga.)

To pass up playing quarterback at Clemson it’ll likely take a lofty bonus to do it and the Reds can meet those demands. There have been a number of names tied to the Reds as overpays including prep outfielder James Wood and Florida outfielder Jud Fabian but we think they take their swing with Chandler.

18. St. Louis Cardinals | Jordan Wicks, lhp, Kansas State

The Cardinals have a lot of options here and they historically take the guys that start to fall so Gunnar Hoglund will be in play. James Wood’s name has been mentioned here too though Wicks is the best left-hander in the draft and St. Louis likely would be very pleased if he were to fall here.

19. Toronto Blue Jays | Matt McLain, ss, UCLA

The Jays have been looking to cut a deal here for a possible overpay later in the draft and they’ll take the falling commodity in this scenario. We’ve heard them linked with Jay Allen and Trey Sweeney among others along with a spot for a college arm if they fall.

20. New York Yankees | Trey Sweeney, ss, Eastern Illinois

The Yankees have been locked in on Sweeney though there are others high on their board including prep Will Taylor and Boston College's Cody Morrisette who has gained a lot of late traction up boards. Their next pick won’t be until late in the second round so they could potentially overpay a prep depending on what the board looks like.

21. Chicago Cubs | Gunnar Hoglund, rhp, Ole Miss

There have been a number of different avenues explored by the brass here with noise that it’s down to prep hitters, including Colson Montgomery and Jay Allen. Hoglund would be grabbing the value left on the board while another college arm like Michael McGreevy would be in play.

22. Chicago White Sox | Colson Montgomery, ss, Southridge HS (Ind.)

The White Sox have been heavily rumored to be on Colson Montgomery and we believe there’s fire behind the smoke. They’ve been linked to other numerous prep upside types that this is probably the ceiling for including Chase Petty and Max Muncy.

23. Cleveland Indians | Gavin Williams, rhp, East Carolina

The Indians are down to a number of college performer types and none will be as cheap as Williams who comes in as a fourth year arm with an injury history. Michael McGreevy has been mentioned here and Cleveland has also been heard with preps Edwin Arroyo, Will Taylor, and Lonnie White.

24. Atlanta Braves | Michael McGreevy, rhp, UC Santa Barbara

The Braves have been long tied to college pitching and McGreevy has been near the top of that wish list. This is where we start to hear Ryan Cusick’s name as well as a potential landing spot for Sam Bachman; if they were to go prep we’ve heard they like Will Taylor and Lonnie White.

25. Oakland Athletics | Tyler Whitaker, of, Bishop Gorman HS (Nev.)

Most of the names tied to Oakland at this point are upside prep bats with Whitaker being the loudest of the rumors. Other names in play here include Max Muncy and Joe Mack while they also like Michigan prep Alex Mooney though that may be an overpay later.

26. Minnesota Twins | Ethan Wilson, of, South Alabama

We’re not extremely privy to the Twins plans but they’re known to covet exit velocity and they’re not going to find many better than Wilson. This is also a natural landing spot for Joe Mack who possesses those traits and whose brother is in the system.

27. San Diego Padres | Frank Mozzicato, lhp, East Catholic Hs (Conn.)

It’s no secret that AJ Preller likes upside or that the Padres have been all over the late rising Mozzicato this spring. We’re told he fits here as do a number of other upside preps including Jay Allen and hometown kid Carson Williams.

28. Tampa Bay Rays | Jay Allen, of, John Carroll Catholic HS (Fla.)

Allen has landing spots all over the first round with the likelihood he slips past the comp very low. Tampa also likes prep Alex Mooney along with bats like Peyton Stovall, Tyler Black, Connor Norby, and Jud Fabian.

29. Los Angeles Dodgers | Sam Bachman, rhp, Miami (OH)

Bachman has a chance to go as high as 20 spots before this but we’ve heard the combination of the medical and reliever risk concerns some teams. The Dodgers typically pounce on premium pitching clay like Bachman while we’ve also heard Ryan Cusick and Frank Mozzicato’s names here.

PG Draft: Mid-Major Picks to Click
Tyler Henninger
Article Image
While Power 4 prospects tend to soak up the bulk of the industry buzz, there’s plenty of legitimate talent lurking at the mid-major level. These are competitive programs that are loaded with players who have real tools, physicality, and performance track records that translate beyond their conference. Below are nine mid-major prospects we expect evaluators to be in early and often on this spring. Ethan Norby, LHP, East Carolina (Rank: 155) Norby is an undersized left-hander, but has produced strong numbers over two years at ECU. The left-hander has produced a 3.80 ERA with 182 strikeouts over 149 1/3 innings. While the velocity does not stand out, Norby can still miss bats with the heater. It works in the low-90’s and creeps towards 95 mph at times. Quality extension for his size and high spin allow that offering to get on hitters, resulting in weak contact as well as whiffs....

Coastal All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
COASTAL REGION (NC, SC, VA, WV)  The first thing that stands out about the players on the Coastal Region team is that this is undoubtedly the fastest All-Region Team in the country.  There are four or five players who could legitimately have 80 grades on their running speed from the region and all have other tools to back up their speed. Another thing that jumps out is the quality of the juniors on the team.  While the region features only one 2025 PG All-American in left-handed pitcher Carson Bolemon, there are six juniors on the All-Region team who are ranked in the top 34 in the 2027 class, with plenty more talented underclassmen just behind them.  Three region high schools break into the Top 50 in the Perfect Game Pre-Season High School Rankings.  Charlotte Catholic at 33rd overall and Metrolina Christian Academy at 42nd represent the North Carolina schools...

2026 College Preview Index With the D-I season opening up right around the corner, our staff came together and took a shot at who they'd pick within 7 different categories. Most are self explanatory while the "Sleeping GIant" category is in reference to a draft prospect outside of our latest Top 50 on the MLB Draft Board. It's also worth noting that once a player was selected for a category, he was unavailable for others to choose, outside of the Golden Spikes category, where we do see some double-ups.  Enjoy the weekend, there's sure to be plenty of excitement as baseball is officially back across the country at all collegiate levels!  Category Cohen Sutherland Cervino Billock Henninger Rankin Russo Impact Freshman Mason Braun Angel Cervantes Cooper Underwood Marcos Paz JD Stein Alec Blair Sam Cozart Impact Transfer Jake Schaffner Will Gasparino Brady Frederick Andrew Whalen...

Southwest All Region & Top Tools

David Rawnsley
Article Image
SOUTHWEST REGION (AZ, NM, NV, UT, CO)  The most dominant tool in the Southwest Region for the 2026 season is undoubtedly power at the plate, as most players featured below not only have the size and bat speed to drive the ball but have put up the numbers as well.  While that isn’t exactly surprising given that virtually the entire region plays at elevation, it certainly stands out on the individual top prospects. The Region features four Perfect Game All-Americans in OF Ryan Harwood, IF Rookie Shepard and C Alain Gomez-Gudino and RHP Dylan Blomker.  The 2027 class is looking very promising as well, with four juniors gaining mention on the All-Region team below and Arizona in particular having a very talented class.  Keep an eye out especially for 2027 3B Colton Floyd (Corona Del Sol HS, Ariz.), one of the best and biggest power hitters in that class.

DII Top 25: February 11

Nick Herfordt
Article Image
Preseason rankings are less about certainty and more about expectation. Experience, continuity, and proven production tend to win in Division II baseball, but every spring reminds us how thin the margins can be. The teams below enter 2026 carrying varying combinations of momentum, pressure, and opportunity. Some are defending a standard. Others are chasing it.  At this level, projection is rarely about raw talent alone. It is shaped by familiarity, by the players who have been through a season together, by staffs that know how to manage the quiet stretches as well as the loud ones. Injuries, turnover, and postseason moments leave marks that don’t always show up in the numbers, but they shape how teams respond when games tighten.  The programs at the top of these rankings carry more than returning statistics. They carry memory and momentum. They remember what it felt like...
