61. RJ Austin, OF, Vanderbilt
R-R, 5-11/200, Atlanta, Ga.
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted



Simply put, Austin is a good baseball player. He’s Swiss-army-knife utility type capable of playing all over the diamond as an above-average defender. He’s a plus athlete with a stolen base flor and innate twitch. He hits the ball hard with some natural jump to his wrists when out front, but his path is often downward and lacking much lift and ability to pull a ball in the air. The power is hindered and while he’s shown improved bat-to-ball skill the overall hit upside is limited with a lot of ground ball contact and some present whiff. Austin fits so many roles at the next level and has well-rounded tools across the board. -Isaiah Burrows
62. Aiden Stillman, LHP, Trinity Preparatory 
R-L, 6-3/190, Winter Park, Fla. 
College Commitment: Virginia 

Stillman has been a buzzy name this year on the prep circuit down in Florida. He oozes projectability in a strong and athletic frame. As he continues to grow into the frame and refine things at the next level, it leaves a ton of room to project on. It’s a really loose and whippy arm action that projects well moving forward. He’s been up to 95 mph and will live in the low- to mid-90s during his starts. The pitch gets good angle to it, and he has a ton of burst out of the hand. He spins a slider that gets into the low-80s with spin above 2,700 RPMs and devilish shape and depth to it. He can manipulate the shape, getting more tilt, as needed. He’s able to pull the string on the pitch with ease, and it’s one of the better sliders in the class. He also has a feel for a low-80s changeup as well. He tunnels everything out of the same slot, allowing the heater to play up a bit and speed hitters up, then he pulls the string on the breaker and causes some uncomfortable swings from the opposition. He lives in the zone and can hunt some whiffs. The blend of pitchability and projection has firmly placed him in the Top 100 of this draft class. With a coaching change at Virginia, there’s some uncertainty about what that could mean for signability, but Stillman certainly is going to be a name discussed in draft rooms on Day 1 this year.  -Tyler Kotila

63. Max Belyeu, OF, Texas
L-R, 6-2/215, Aledo, Tex.
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted 

An accomplished outfielder for the Longhorns, Belyeu came away with Big 12 Player of the Year honors in 2024 before missing half of the season in 2025. A centerfielder in Austin, Belyeu could realistically play any of the three outfield spots but teams would like him to stick in center for as long as he can. The power is the selling card here with 20+ home run potential for Belyeu who has a lot of long balls to his name over the course of his career. There is plenty of left-handed bat speed and offensive tools though some of the underlying swing-and-miss percentages are not the best. Belyeu is still an accomplished college bat with Player of the Year honors under his belt and should have plenty of Day 1 suitors. -Vinnie Cervino

64. Aj Russell, RHP, Tennessee
R-R, 6-6/223, Franklin, TN
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted 

Russell was eased back from injury this spring and probably would be in the conversation with the top college arms if he were fully healthy all spring. The right-hander features an imposing 6-foot-6, 223-pound frame that gets down the mound with intent. The fastball is a legit weapon. The offering sits in the mid-90’s and will creep into the upper-90’s at times. Despite the taller frame, Russell features a low release height on the offering that makes it extremely tough to barrel. The ball jumps out of the hand and gets on hitters quickly. A tight, mid-80’s slider is the go-to offspeed pitch. It shows quality depth when spun well. Russell will also mix in a mid-80’s changeup that has shown traits of a quality third offering. Having yet to pitch a full season as a starter and a history of injury concerns, Russell comes with obvious risk, but the stuff and upside may be too hard to pass at some point in the second to third rounds. 

65. Brayden Jaksa, C, Irvington HS (CA)
R-R, 6-5/215, Fremont, Calif.
College Commitment: Oregon

Jaksa has mammoth right-handed taw power with enough defensive chops to potentially stick behind the plate at the next level. He moves well enough for his massive frame and the overall feel to hit is quite polished. He drives baseballs to all fields and can grow into above-average pop all while being a good athlete and capable on the paths. Jaksa’s receiving skills and arm strength may question whether he moves off or not, and if he makes enough defensive strides the bat can really carry. -IB

66. Korbyn Dickerson, OF, Indiana 
R-R, 6-2/182, Jeffersonville, Ind.  
Previously Drafted: Twins (‘22) 

Dickerson is an interesting case in terms of draft buzz. He was a prep draft choice of the Twins in the 20th round of the 2022 MLB Draft and was a backend name on early boards given his buzz as a prep outfielder from Indiana (played in Kentucky –Trinity HS). He arrived on campus at Louisville but did not see much of the field, prompting a transfer to Indiana, where he really started to settle in. He really settled in with the Hoosiers this year and was shooting up the draft boards after the first few weeks of the season. He’s a right-handed bat with an uber-athletic frame and build, leaving some projection that evaluators buy into. He has a compact stroke and good bat-to-ball, with some sneaky juice that started to show up a bit. There are questions about what Dickerson’s pop will look like at the next level, but he produced top-tier exit velocities to all fields on the college scene. He hunts pull-side and has had success in doing so. It’s an aggressive approach in the box, though some feel he could be more passive and take a few more pitches. Dickerson’s athleticism shows in the outfield, where he shows the quickness in center and can cover ground well. He boasts average arm strength and could hold down centerfield at the next level. He turns in plus run times and can swipe bags on the basepaths. Teams who believe in the bat & raw power will be in on Dickerson come draft day.  -TK

67. Coy James, SS, Davie County (N.C.)
R-R, 6-0/185, Advance, N.C.
College Commitment: Ole Miss

Another high school shortstop, James is a super accomplished right-handed hitting infielder with big summer performance numbers throughout the circuit last summer. James is a polished bat with good ability to control the strike zone and an up the middle future. He’s shown plus run times this spring with the power really showing up during in game action. Given James’ athletic ability, if he can’t stick at shortstop long term then centerfield would likely be an option too. The bat is the selling card here through and the combination of hit and power tools are enticing. -VC

68. Miguel Sime Jr., RHP, Poly Prep Country Day (N.Y)
R-R, 6-4/235, Queens Village, NY
College Commitment: LSU
 
Sime possesses one of the more electric arms in the prep class. The righthander possesses a mix of physicality and big time arm speed. The 6-foot-4, 235-pound frame can be an intimidating presence on the mound and works with intent. The calling card for Sime is the heater. He can run the fastball into the triple digits and consistently sits in the upper-90’s. The pitch shows tons of life with spin rates around 2250 rpm. The secondary stuff has taken a much needed step forward this spring. The breaking ball sits low-to-mid 80’s with depth and late bite when spun well. Sime also flashed quality feel for a changeup with tumbling action and depth. Along with improved offspeed stuff, Sime has also shown improved command and feel to pitch. The upside to the profile is obvious and is he continues to make strides like he has this year, the arm talent will be hard to turn down. -TH

69. Lucas Franco, SS, Cinco Ranch HS (TX)
L-R, 6-3/180, Katy, Texas
College Commitment: TCU 

Franco just oozes with upside, a 6-foot-3 prep left-handed hitting shortstop with loads of projection left in the body. He added good weight this summer and impacted the ball harder, particularly to the pull side while not selling out for his clean opposite field approach. He has the makings of an everyday defender at shortstop, as he shows clean transfers and an adjustable slot with a future plus arm that can handle third if he continues to fill. he body Franco made strides in his hit this spring, but the whiff and chase is still present. If he gets into more consistent contact while filling out and getting into more power, the upside is simply massive and amongst the top in the class. -IB
70. Cade Obermueller, LHP, Iowa 
L-L, 6-0/170, Iowa City, Iowa 
Previously Drafted: Rangers (‘24) 

Obermueller was selected in the 19th round of last year's draft but opted to return to the Hawkeyes rotation in 2025, and he was absolutely dominant down the stretch this spring. Obermueller went on a heater after an up-and-down start, and really took some strides this year on the mound. He’s got a compact frame and an athletic build, throwing from a lower slot and angle that produces a flat approach angle. It makes for a really tough at-bat for hitters. The fastball usually works the low- to mid-90s, but he has ticked up into the upper-90s at times this spring. The tick up certainly caught the attention of evaluators this spring. The fastball generates a ton of carry and run to it, sometimes showing sink when on the inner-third. He has one of the best sliders in the class, spinning it above 2,700-2,800 RPMs with hellacious depth and horizontal break on the pitch, working the low- to mid-80s. He’ll throw it to righties and lefties, finding success against both. It garners a ton of whiffs. He flashes a mid-80s changeup/splitter that is more of a distant third pitch, but he will turn to it on occasion. Obermueller has proven himself as a starter at the collegiate level, but the compact frame and mostly two-pitch arsenal have led to some questions about his ability to start at the next level. There’s big league bloodlines here, and he took plenty of steps in the right direction this spring, including cutting down the walks and filling the zone more. He carries reliever risk, but will certainly be on the radar of teams early in this year’s draft.  -TK

71. Chase Shores, RHP, LSU
R-R, 6-8/252, Midland, Tex.
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Shores was electric down the stretch for the national champion Tigers, being one of the more trusted weapons out of the bullpen to come in for extended outings and shut down an offense. A 6-foot-8 right-handed pitcher, Shores has explosive velocity on the fastball, sitting right around 100 for stretches out of the bullpen in June. The sweeper is a strong secondary pitch and gives him a one-two punch to get hitters out. The changeup is still a work in progress and teams considering him will have a choice between starter and bullpen. Shores struggled at times in the rotation but was unhittable out of the bullpen, it’s an interesting dynamic but he has the pedigree to start. -VC

72. Brady Ebel, SS, Corona HS (Calif.)
L-R, 6-3/190, Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted 

Ebel is another potential day one selection on a talented Corona team. The infielder features a projectable build at 6-foot-3, 190-pounds. The profile does not have any extremely loud tools, but is solid in multiple areas. At the plate, Ebel shows a balanced left-handed stroke with good rhythm throughout. The bat speed does not necessarily stand out, but there is feel for the barrel and a track record of performing against high level arms. As of now, the impact is more fringe power with the chance to develop more as the frame fills out. Defensively, Ebel likely will slide over to third base at the next level. Sure hands catch it well and a plus arm will play from the hot corner. Teams will have to sign Ebel away from an LSU commitment, but the performance track record and bloodline make for an interesting profile. -TH

73. James Ellwanger, RHP, Dallas Baptist
R-R, 6-4/205, Magnolia, Texas
Previously Drafted: 2023 MLB Draft, Rd. 19, Washington Nationals

Ellwanger is simply a live arm, an athletic starter-framed righty armed with a mid-to-high-90s fastball that can touch triple digits. It’s equipped with a ton of life and whiff up in the zone, paired with a tight high-spin breaking ball that plays North-to-South. The slider and splitter lack shape and feel and need to improve to live up to a starter billing. Command woes and durability remain questions to this point, but the athleticism and potent fastball from a real frame has a ton of traits to build upon. -IB

74. Kyle Lodise, SS, Georgia Tech 
R-R, 5-11/180, Brunswick, Ga.  
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted 

Perhaps one of the biggest bats in the collegiate ranks this year was Kyle Lodise. He was one of the best bats in all of college baseball, and while he and his cousin (Alex Lodise - Florida State) have moved up draft boards this spring, Lodise might be one of the biggest risers this spring after another incredible season with Georgia Tech. He transferred in from Augusta (Division II) and hit, and hit, and hit. He’s a right-handed bat with a really controlled and mature approach in the box. He uses the entire field with true hitterish actions and tons of hand-eye coordination. Lodise uses the entire field and will find ways to do damage in the box. He has some sneaky power that he can tap into, though some scouts believe he may not see as much pop at the next level after some struggles last year on the Cape with wood bats. However, Lodise slashed .329/.429/.667 with 20 doubles, 16 homers, and 61 RBI for Georgia Tech. He proved he could handle velocity and quality pitching this year and made serious noise. He’s a standout defender at shortstop, with good instincts and a serviceable arm across the diamond. Some believe he is better off at second base, but he could move around at the next level. He’s got good speed on the bases, and the all-around baseball IQ shows up here as well. Lodise is an offensively gifted profile who put together a heck of a case to be considered in the Top 100 in this year’s draft.  -TK

75. Mason Morris, RHP, Ole Miss
R-R, 6-4/225, Tupelo, Miss.
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Morris is a huge right-handed pitcher who was one of the best long relief bullpen arms in the SEC this spring. At 6-foot-4, 225-pounds, he’s got huge size and there’s more significant upside as he continues to progress. The fastball was flirting with triple digits, sitting 96-99 mph with cutting life for long, 70-80 pitch outings out of the bullpen. The cutter in the low-to-mid 90s is plus and the slider is also a solid secondary pitch. He’ll likely need to develop a changeup or something to get left-handed hitters out at the next level but the fastball-cutter is diabolical currently. Whether he’s a starter or reliever at the next level is still to be decided but he should be throwing fuel in whatever role he chooses. -VC

76. Nicky Becker, SS, Don Bosco Prep (N.J.)
R-R, 6-3/180, Thiells, NY
College Commitment: Virginia

Becker possesses an enticing mix of present tools and projectability. The shortstop shows good athleticism and the frame has plenty of room to add additional strength. Defensively, Becker has a strong chance to stick at shortstop long term. The arm plays from the left side of the diamond and sound actions allow for the routine plays to be made. At the plate, Becker shows a strong feel to hit with bat-to-ball skills present. The power should only continue to develop and has a chance to wind up an above-average tool long term. It is a well-rounded skill set that checks a lot of boxes when it comes to present tools, projection, and overall makeup. -TH

77. Jared Jones, 1B, LSU
R-R, 6-4/250, Marietta, Ga.
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Jones has put together a very impressive 2025, improving some hit tool concerns while still showing his top-of-scale raw power. He improved his in-zone contact and bat-to-ball skill that didn’t get into his pop while slightly lowering his chase rate. His plate discipline and whiff will likely limit the hit tool. The power simply plays to all fields with immense strength, backspin and carry to the deepest parts of the yard. He’s a below-average runner and profiles best at first base with room to improve on that end, but possessing a carrying tool this loud at this point in the draft is hard to find. Jones possesses that and more. -IB

78. Henry Godbout, MIF, Virginia
R-R, 6-2/190, Brooklyn, N.Y.
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Godbout has been a perennial performer in the Virginia lineup and is poised to join the list of recent draft talent coming out of the Cavaliers' program. He was near the top of draft boards, and while he has slid down a bit, he’s still proven that he’s one of the better talents in this class. He’s got a balanced profile backed up with consistent results and a disciplined approach. He pulls the ball with authority and produces hard contact with some strength that showed up in 2025. He works counts and is disciplined to avoid swing-and-miss issues. Godbout has a functional righty stroke with a shorter and compact path. He has a high motor and high-baseball IQ. He added some strength to this swing, which has helped in some regards but also caused some concerns in terms of his frame. Some evaluators feel that the swing has changed slightly and his added strength hinders his abilities on the bases and in the field, boasting average run times. He patrols second base for the most part, and likely sticks there long-term, but there are some questions about what the future could look like defensively for Godbout. -TK

For more on Godbout, view his College Report from this spring here.

79. Nolan Schubart, OF, Oklahoma State
L-R, 6-5/234, Durand, Mich.
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Schubart has some of the best power among the entire draft, true 70-grade power and the exit velocities to match. It’s a big, uppercut swing from the left side and Schubart is also young for the class, not turning 21 until after the draft. He played right field this spring for Oklahoma State but might end up at first base long term. Schubart isn’t much of a runner but you’re talking about a 30+ homer potential type of left-handed bat. -VC
