MLB Mock Draft: Draft Night

Vincent Cervino
1. Cleveland Guardians: Travis Bazzana, 2B, Oregon State 
Cleveland holds the keys to the kingdom here and we’re told it’s down to Bazzana and West Virginia shortstop JJ Wetherholt. There have been rumblings with Chase Burns (plausible) and Bryce Rainer (seems unlikely) but if they go Wetherholt it will likely be for a significant discount.  

2. Cincinnati Reds: Charlie Condon, OF/3B, Georgia 
We’re told that the Reds are all over Condon and so long as Cleveland doesn’t take the Golden Spikes winner that the Reds will be all over this. The Reds would likely take Condon over Bazzana if he were here.  



3. Colorado Rockies: Chase Burns, RHP, Wake Forest 
The Rockies love Burns and think they’ll be getting a true superstar ace akin to Pirates starter Paul Skenes. This is the realistic ceiling for Jac Caglianone and another potential Bazzana landing spot.  

4. Oakland Athletics: Nick Kurtz, 1B, Wake Forest 
The Athletics likely have a tough choice between Kurtz and West Virginia shortstop JJ Wetherholt if he’s here. If Kurtz doesn’t go here there’s a chance he falls out of the top ten. This is the floor for Oregon State second baseman Travis Bazzana and he would be the pick if he’s here. 

5. Chicago White Sox: JJ Wetherholt, SS, West Virginia 
This is likely the floor for Wetherholt and the White Sox would absolutely grab him should he be available. This is the realistic ceiling for some of the high schoolers like Konnor Griffin and Bryce Rainer; Jac Caglianone is aso in the mix. 

6. Kansas City Royals: Braden Montgomery, OF, Texas A&M 
Royals have been linked to numerous college bats and that includes the top arm left in Arkansas lefty Hagen Smith. There were also rumors of an underslot deal with Florida State outfielder James Tibbs III here. If this isn’t where Jac Caglianone lands his floor isn’t further behind. 

7. St. Louis Cardinals: Jac Caglianone, 1B/LHP, Florida 
Caglianone has landing spots all over the top ten with big interest at picks 3, 5, and 6. The Cardinals have also been heavy on California prep shortstop Bryce Rainer and that could be an option here. 

8. Los Angeles Angels: Hagen Smith, LHP, Arkansas 
Smith could realistically go in the top five picks but new information suggests that the Angels are looking for a heavy discount at pick 8. In this scenario, Smith isn’t coming at much of a discount but don’t be surprised if they go for a tier 2 college player for a significant undercut.  

9. Pittsburgh Pirates: Bryce Rainer, SS, Harvard Westlake (Calif.) 
We’re told that the Pirates are all over Rainer and given yesterday’s trade news they’ll likely have to up the ante to keep him from Washington. The Pirates would also be interested in Nick Kurtz should he fall here.  

10. Washington Nationals: Konnor Griffin, OF, Jackson Prep (Miss.) 
The Nationals acquired compensation pick 39 and now have some extra money to play with. They’d be interested in tier 1 college bats who fall but have been heavily linked to preps like Griffin and Harvard Westlake shortstop Bryce Rainer.  

11. Detroit Tigers: Cam Caminiti, LHP, Saguaro (Ariz.) 
We’ve been told that the Tigers are all in on Caminiti and this is likely his ceiling at pick 11. They’ve also been linked to college bats who might fall but the Tigers stuck to their guns last year in taking Max Clark over Wyatt Langford so once they find their guy they tend to lock him in. 

12. Boston Red Sox: James Tibbs III, OF, Florida State 
Tibbs could go as high as pick 6 but the Sox have been all over Tibbs throughout the draft process. We’ve been told that Boston is heavily in on college bats with this being the realistic ceiling for some catchers like Caleb Lomavita or Malcolm Moore.  

13. San Francisco Giants: Trey Yesavage, RHP, East Carolina 
The Giants have also been heavily linked to Arizona prep left-hander Cam Caminiti but have otherwise turned their attention to college pitching. The dream scenario is if someone like Hagen Smith fell to 13 but that doesn’t seem likely at this point.  

14. Chicago Cubs: Malcolm Moore, C, Stanford 
Moore’s stock has rebounded significantly thanks to a strong second half and strong showing at the draft combine. California catcher Caleb Lomavita is also in play here and this is probably the ceiling for guys like Christian Moore and Ryan Waldschmidt.   

15. Seattle Mariners: Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee 
We keep hearing college with Seattle and in addition to Moore they’ve been liked to guys like Jurrangelo Cijntje, Seaver King, Cam Smith, Carson Benge, and more. They’ll likely have their pick of college players to choose from.  

16. Miami Marlins: Ryan Waldschmidt, OF, Kentucky 
The Marlins, similarly to Seattle, have been heavily linked to college players, specifically up the middle types. There’s not a ton of college shortstops so Kaelen Culpepper could be a possibility and Jurrangelo Cijntje is another name that has been heavily linked to them.  

17. Milwaukee Brewers: Carson Benge, OF, Oklahoma State 
The teens are going to likely be college heavy after the big three high schoolers go at the beginning of the teens but college will likely dominate this area. Cam Smith and Seaver King are other names that could go around here.  

18. Tampa Bay Rays: Seaver King, SS/OF, Wake Forest 
This is probably the ceiling for Texas prep shortstop Theo Gillen and the Rays have also been linked to Jurrangelo Cijntje. They love athletes and Seaver King would fit that description to a tee.  

19. New York Mets: Cameron Smith, 3B, Florida State 
Smith has suitors all over the middle of the first and the Mets have also been linked to college arms like Brody Brecht and Jurrangelo Cijntjel; this is a potential Vance Honeycutt landing spot too. They could also go the high school route should all the tier 2 college targets be gone but that feels unlikely.  

20. Toronto Blue Jays: Theo Gillen, SS/OF, Westlake (Tex.) 
Gillen is one of the best up the middle athletes on the high school side and also one of the better prep bats. They’re still linked heavily to college bats and this is the realistic ceiling for Billy Amick and Tommy White.  

21. Minnesota Twins: Jurrangelo Cijntje, BHP, Mississippi State 
The Twins are heavy on the college side of things and they could consider corner bats like Billy Amick and Tommy White. Vance Honeycutt could be in play but in this scenario they’ll grab Cijntje as this is likely his floor.  

22. Baltimore Orioles: Vance Honeycutt, OF, North Carolina 
Strikeout rates don’t scare Baltimore and they’ll be thrilled to get a player of Honeycutt’s caliber here. They’ve been heavily linked to left-handed prep shortstops like Gillen, Wyatt Sanford, Tyson Lewis, among others.  

23. Los Angeles Dodgers: Ryan Sloan, RHP, York Community (Ill.) 
The Dodgers have been seemingly linked to anyone and everyone recently but the marker for the prep right-handers has been similarly all over the place. With this many rumors about so many guys they’ll land Sloan here. 

24. Atlanta Braves: Brody Brecht, RHP, Iowa 
We’ve heard the Braves heavily linked to Brody Brecht here with the possibility they look to a high schooler if they decide otherwise. Prep arms would be in play here like William Schmidt, Dax Whitney, Kash Mayfield, Braylon Doughty, and others.  

25. San Diego Padres: Kellon Lindsey, SS/OF, Hardee Senior (Fla.) 
The Padres are all over high schoolers as you might expect but that wouldn’t preclude them from a big name college bat who drops, think a Caleb Lomavita or Malcolm Moore type. They’re also on Wyatt Sanford, Tyson Lewis, and other prep shortstops.  

26. New York Yankees: Dax Whitney, Blackfoot (Idaho) 
Whitney is a name I continue to hear climb and climb as we get closer to the draft. Other preps like William Schmidt are options while this is likely the ceiling for hometown high schooler Luke Dickerson. White and Amick are options here too.  

27. Philadelphia Phillies: PJ Morlando, OF, Summerville (S.C.) 
The Phillies continue to be tied to upside power bats so think high schoolers like Morlando and college bats like Tommy White. Slade Caldwell was linked here a couple of weeks ago but that seems to have cooled off.  

28. Houston Astros: Caleb Lomavita, C, California 
In addition to Lomavita, Tommy White and Billy Amick are in play as are prep shortstops like Tyson Lewis and Wyatt Sanford. Walker Janek is in play here too as both Texas teams picking at the end have been tied to him.  

29. Arizona Diamondbacks: Tommy White, 3B,  LSU 
The Diamondbacks have a ton of flexibility to get creative and if this pick is college I would expect high school overpays to follow. This is another realistic landing spot for PJ Morlando as well as other college bats who fall.  

30. Texas Rangers: Walker Janek, C, Sam Houston 
The Rangers have been tied to Janek since over a month ago and there’s no reason not to believe that chatter now. They could go a number of different directions and we’ve heard them tied to Nebraska prep shortstop Tyson Lewis in the past too.

Desert Classic Scout Notes

Ryan Sanchez (‘27, AZ) hammers this ball to deep LCF for a 3-run 💣. Physical 6-5/230 frame. Has some rhythm to the hands. Strength plays at contact #DesertClassic @PG_Uncommitted pic.twitter.com/sGL2vcpwIL — Perfect Game Four Corners (@PG_FourCorners) June 6, 2026 Ryan Sanchez (2027, Chandler, Ariz.) showcased loud two-way ability throughout the event. A physical frame at 6-foot-5, 230-pounds stands out on both sides of the ball. The stuff on the bump was impressive. Sanchez sat 89-92 mph with the heater, topping out at 93 mph. Heavy armside run and the velocity makes the pitch hard to barrel. It was paired with a quality breaking ball at 73-77 mph that showed some bite. At the plate, Sanchez uses his strength efficiently. There is some rhythm to the hands that creates some bat speed. When combined with obvious strength at contact, Sanchez can generate easy power to the...

Beast of the East Scout Notes: Days 3-5

Perfect Game Staff
Article Image
Beast of the East Scout Notes: Day 1  Day 2 Ryan Kume (’27, Kyle, Texas)- the 6-foot-1, 175-pound right-handed pitcher punched out 10 batters over five scoreless innings for Lonestar Baseball Club 2027 National. The uncommitted primary shortstop allowed only one hit to get the win in the 3-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves Scout Team- American. Kume ran the fastball up to 88 mph and sat in the 85-87 mph range with a pair of breaking balls to miss barrels and induce weak contact. He displayed a curveball in the low-70s with high spins in the 2600 RPM range and a slider with late action in the 76-79 mph range. For the tournament, the right-handed hitter drove in eight runs at the plate with at least one hit in all five games including a grand slam against 5 Star Mafia 17U Black.  Jasper Kemp (’27, Columbia, Ky.)- the 6-foot-2, 188-pound right-handed pitcher for KBC...

Swamp Baseball Cruises to 18U Title

Alyssa Golden
Article Image
Swamp Baseball entered the Gulf Coast Classic looking to break through after falling in the championship game in each of the previous two weekends. Their matchup against Florida Flames 18U was a rematch of the East Memorial Day Classic championship game two weeks earlier, when the Flames earned a 4-1 victory. This time, Swamp turned the tables, defeating the Flames 11-2 at JetBlue Park to claim the 18U Gulf Coast Classic title. The game ended after the top of the fifth inning under Perfect Game’s mercy rule, which ends play when the home team leads by eight or more runs after 4 ½ innings. Strong pitching from Payton Sturrup and Ian Long, combined with consistent offensive production throughout the entire lineup, helped Swamp take control early and never look back. Nicholas Raber delivered Swamp’s first hit of the game, driving in two runs with a double. Anthony Reitler...

After a weekend of competitive baseball, the 2026 Arizona Desert Classic came down to one final matchup between ATB 13U and Rawlings Tigers Primo. When the final out was recorded, Rawlings Tigers Primo secured the championship with a 14-0 victory at Goodyear Ballpark. Rawlings Tigers Primo wasted little time getting the offense going, scoring 4 runs in the first inning to take an early lead. MVP Easton Bakersky helped spark the attack, finishing 2-2 with an inside-the-park home run and three runs scored. Bakersky's home run came at the end of the third inning and helped extend Primo's lead. He finished with a .625 average through four games, while Callan Sanders went 2-3 with one triple and two runs scored. Sanders hit .500 through four games. “The count was 1-2. I was thinking, just get the barrel to it, not trying to do too much,” said  Bakersky. On the mound, Callan...
