Immediate Reaction: Best '25 Draft Class

Pittsburgh Pirates

Notable Selections: RHP Seth Hernandez (1.6), RHP Angel Cervantes (2.50), 3B Murf Gray (CBB.73), C Easton Carmichael (3.82), SS Gustavo Melendez (4.133), C Adonys Guzman (5.144), RHP Jack Anker (6.173), 3B Brent Iredale (7.203), OF Josh Tate (8.233), 1B Jared Jones (9.263), Matt King (10.293)



The Pirates came away with one of my favorite collective draft classes due to the mix of high-end talent and depth they were able to acquire. In my opinion, when you possess a Top-10 pick, you have to come away with a guy that you truly believe can make a significant impact on your organization. Pittsburgh was able to do just that with prep righthander Seth Hernandez. Not only was Hernandez the best prep arm on the board, he is one of the best prep arms we have seen in the last decade or more. As crazy as it sounds because he is a high school arm, Hernandez possesses one of the more big league-ready repertoires in the class. The fastball can reach triple digits, the changeup is one of the best pitches in the entire draft, and both the slider and curveball are above-average pitches. Following Hernandez, the Pirates tapped back into the SoCal prep market with Angel Cervantes. Young for the class, Cervantes possesses a strong four-pitch mix with strike throwing ability and starter upside. In the third round, the Pirates nabbed catcher Easton Carmichael out of Oklahoma. The backstop possesses intriguing power potential and continues to get better defensively behind the plate. Adonys Guzman is another backstop the Pirates were able to select, using their fifth round selection on the catcher out of Arizona. Guzman is one of the better defensive catchers in the class, showing off plus catch-and-throw ability. He also put together his best year at the plate this spring, making significant strides with the bat. Sandwiched between the two backstops, the Pirates used their fourth round selection on Gustavo Melendez. Another young player for the class, the 17 year old shortstop out of Puerto Rico is a twitchy athlete with a strong feel to hit from the left side. As the draft went deeper, the Pirates were able to grab a pair of SEC bats in third baseman Brent Iredale and first baseman Jared Jones. Both are physical right-handed bats that possess impressive power potential. Jones hit 64 career homeruns at LSU, meanwhile Iredale posted an OPS near 1.000 at Arkansas this spring. The 2025 Pirates’ draft class has a little mix of it all. It has power and athleticism, a mix of college performers and prep upside, and is an outstanding combination of high-end upside and depth. From top to bottom, there is a lot to like with this class and it should be fun to keep tabs on them as they get into the Pirates system. 

Baltimore Orioles

Notable Selections: C Ike Irish (1.19), C Caden Bodine (1C.30), SS Wehiwa Aloy (1C.31), OF Slater de Brun (CBA.37), LHP Joseph Dzierwa (2.58), RHP JT Quinn (CBB. 69), OF RJ Austin (3.93), SS Colin Yeaman (4.124), SS Jaiden LoRe (5.154), LHP Caden Hunter (6.184), RHP Hunter Allen (7.214), LHP Kailen Hamson (8.244), OF Cam Lee (9.274), RHP Dalton Neuschwander (10.304)

The Orioles had the luxury of having four picks in the Top-50 and seven picks within the Top-100 and did not waste the opportunity. In the first round they selected Ike Irish out of Auburn. Irish came in at 7th overall on the final PG Draft Board and could wind up being at steal at 19th overall. It is unknown whether he sticks behind the plate or ends up in the outfield, but it should not matter. Irish is one of the better college bats in the entire class, bringing a strong mix of power and hit ability. Baltimore selected another collegiate catcher in Caden Bodine with the 30th overall pick. Bodine brings a different set of skills to the table than Irish that could prove just as valuable. The catcher out of Coastal Carolina is one of the premier defenders behind the plate with advanced receiving ability. He also possesses impressive contact rates at the plate. Following Bodine, the Orioles selected shortstop Wehiwa Aloy out of Arkansas. This year’s Golden Spikes winner, Aloy is a power-hitting infielder that has a strong chance to stick at shortstop long term. Aloy had a first round grade from many, including our draft team. With their fourth pick in the class and 37th overall pick, the Orioles were able to grab prep outfielder Slater de Brun out of Oregon. de Brun has consistently gotten Slade Caldwell comps throughout the draft cycle. He possesses advanced athleticism that profiles well in centerfield and at the top of the order. There is some sneaky power present to go along with strong instincts on the bases. Following a run of position players, Baltimore tapped into the pitching market by selecting Joseph Dzierwa and JT Quinn with their next two picks. Dzierwa is a 6-foot-8 lefthander with uber-projectability and Quinn is a 6-foot-6 righthander with a power fastball and a unique release point. Both have obvious upside and plenty of untapped potential. In rounds three and five the O’s selected a pair of athletes that should stick up the middle. RJ Austin did not have his best year at Vanderbilt, but has strong bat to ball skills and plus athleticism in centerfield. Jaiden LoRe, a prep shortstop out of Arizona, quickly rose up draft boards this year with a mix of tools on both sides of the ball. With as many picks as they had in the first five rounds, they had a chance to make significant additions to their organization, and appear to have done just that. The O’s draft class is one that should give their minor league system an immediate jolt. The mix of skill sets give them a variety of tools to play with. The college guys at the top have a chance to quickly rise and impact the big league club soon, the upside arms will give their development plenty to tap into, and the athletes should give them plenty of options up the middle.

Toronto Blue Jays

Notable Selections: SS Joseph Parker (1.8), OF Jake Cook (3.81), RHP Micah Bucknam (4.112), RHP Tim Piasentin (5.143), SS Eric Snow (6.172), RHP Dylan Watts (7.202), RHP Danny Thompson Jr (8.232), RHP Karson Ligon (9.262), OF Austin Smith (10.292)

Toronto attacked a bevy of strengths and really leaned in on up-the-middle athletes, prep hit tools and a blend of college stuff that really worked. Parker is arguably the best prep hit tool in the class with some of the higher end bat-to-ball skill you can find on the circuit and a ton of left-handed power upside too while sticking on the dirt. Cook is a premium athlete in center field who made strides offensively, and the class is rounded out with a ton of good molded college arms with the likes of Buckna, Piasentin, Watts and Ligon—one of the top seniors in the country. From there, the Jays made a huge splash in the 11th and 12th rounds, going with Texas lefty Jared Spencer who projected as an early Day 1 value before going down with an elbow injury.  In the 12th, they found another enticing prep in outfielder Blaine Bullard, a twitchy athlete with a plus-plus run tool and advanced bat-to-ball skill with projection in center field. Overall, the Blue Jays grabbed a ton of value and a real good blend of athletes. 

Tampa Bay Rays

Notable Selections: SS Daniel Pierce (1.14), OF Brendan Summerhill (CBA-A 42), SS Cooper Flemming (2.52), SUP-2 OF Dean Moss (67), C Taitn Gray (3.86), LHP Dom Fritton (4.117), OF James Quinn-Irons (5.147), RHP Aidan Haugh (6.177), RHP Jacob Kuhn (7.207), RHP Aidan Cremrosa (8.237), RHP Mason Nichols (9.267), Trendan Parish (10.297)

The Rays have a mold and stuck to it, a slew of prep shortstops, hit tools and college arms with a chance to pop. Pierce is a plus athlete who can stick at short with a good hit tool. Summerhill is one of the more well-rounded college guys at this spot who can hit, run and defend at an average or better level with a good arm that can expand into some defensive versatliyt in all htree spots. The bat-to-ball skill is very quality too. Fleming gained a ton of buzz this spring as the frame improved and he has the makings of an above-average bat who can stick on the left side of the dirt. Moss is one of the top prep hit tools, a pure all-fields type from the left side with plate discipline getting into lofted pull power and is a sneaky athlete covering ground that may not pop out on the page. Gray is an athletic switch-hitting backstop with a ton of hit tool upside. After slamming preps, the Rays found several gems including Quinn-Irons who is a plus runner and good defender with some real keen bat-to-ball that took off at George Mason. There are some real good upsides in the arms too in Kuhm and Cremrosa, as Cremrosa has some enticing spin traits and low release fastball that can tick up. Overall, the Rays have a blend of huge upside preps and very enticing college arms toward the end. Quinn-Irons may end up being an absolute steal too.

Milwaukee Brewers

Notable Selections: 3B Andrew Fischer (1.20), SS Brady Ebel (CBA.32), LHP JD Thompson (2.59), LHP Frank Cairone (SUP-2.68), RHP Jacob Morrison (3.94), RHP Joshua Flores (4.125), RHP Sean Episcope (5.155), IF Daniel Dickinson (6.185), OF Josiah Ragsdale (7.215), RHP Hayden Vucinovich (8.245), LHP Andrew Healy (9.275), RHP Braylon Owens (10.305)

The Brewers had an exceptional draft and built a really quality class from top to bottom. While the top of their draft class is based on a couple of picks I really like, they also have a handful of picks in their later picks who could really wind up providing value down the line. They picked up Andrew Fischer with their first-round draft choice, giving them another Vols’ bat to add to the system. I liked the pick of Fischer in the first, but liked their comp-round selection, Brady Ebel, even more. Ebel is a hitter, in every sense of the word, and fits the profile of a Brewers’ prospect quite well. They also added in some other names in the mid-day 2 rounds who caught my interest. Hayden Vucinovich came out and made major strides last winter and pitched his way into being a Brewers’ draft choice this spring. He fits the Brewers’ mold and has a world of upside. Beyond that, they grabbed some players in the back half of the draft who could be sneaky value picks. Cooper Underwood out of Allatoona HS in Georgia, is another prep arm who could wind up being a great selection. The Brewers also found ways to pick up value on the college side of things, targeting performers like Jacob Morrison and Sean Episcope. They also picked up a couple of bat-to-ball collegiate hitters, in Josiah Ragsdale and Daniel Dickinson. It’s a well-rounded class of talent and one that compliments the Brewers development staff quite well.

Los Angeles Dodgers

Notable Selections: LHP Zach Root (1.40), OF Charles Davalan (CBA.41), RHP Cam Leiter (2.65), OF Landyn Vidourek (3.104), SS Aidan West (4.135), RHP Davion Hickson (5.165), OF Mason Ligenza (6.195), LHP Mason Estrada (7.225), RHP Jack O'Connor (8.255), C Connor O'Neal (9.285), LHP Jacob Frost (10.315)

The Dodgers started their draft off with back-to-back picks, and were able to put together a really impressive draft class, in totality. They went with two Arkansas Razorbacks standouts in Zachary Root, a quality performer on the mound with good upside, fitting the Dodgers mold. They also grabbed Charles Davalan, the Razorbacks outfielder who had a good year after transferring in from FGCU. After the two back-to-back picks, they took a flier on Cam Leiter in the second-round, and before his injury, Leiter was a sure-bet to be a first-rounder and one of the premier arms in the draft class – so that could wind up being a steal. I also really liked the third-round selection of Landyn Vidourek, who’s got a really intriguing profile at the plate, with good power projection – a profile that should bode well for the Dodgers Player Development staff. The Dodgers do well at finding value in players and getting the most out of their guys through Player Development, and they grabbed a few players in the back half of the draft who are prime candidates for development. Perhaps the name that intrigues me the most is Shane Brinham, a left-handed pitcher from British Columbia who could wind up being something special. He was compared to as one of the best prep prospects in Canada in this class. He was Mr. Irrelevant in this draft class, but if he does indeed sign, could be an intriguing profile to follow. They also grabbed a few college players in the later rounds of the draft who have projection that could provide the Dodgers with some quality talent. Overall, the Dodgers did a good job drafting to fit their Player Development group and I feel that they’re going to be able to extract plenty of value from this class.

Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA R-R, 6-2/202, Chandler, AZ Previously Drafted: Never Drafted   Roch Cholowsky has consistently ranked at the top of the class throughout the cycle due to the safety and upside of the profile. Defensively, he is a plus defender at shortstop with soft hands, consistent actions, and quality range. Not only should he stick at the position long term, he should excel there at the next level. Offensively, there is a strong mix of hit and power potential from the right side of the plate. The swing is a bit unorthodox with a shorter finish, but Cholowsky consistently finds the barrel and drives the ball with authority to all fields. He has strong bat to ball skills with impact. He has walked more than stuck out during his collegiate career, giving him a high on-base ability. The run tool is the...

Performance Baseball Rolls On

Kinley Kitchens
Article Image
Championship teams often reveal themselves when the game isn’t going their way. Performance Baseball 2028/Milwaukee Brewers Scout Team did exactly that. Trailing Florida Burn 2028 Scout through four innings, the Brewers refused to panic. Instead, they relied on timely hitting, consistent pitching, and an unselfish approach at the plate, rallying a five-run fifth inning before pulling away for a 9-5 victory to clinch their spot in the semifinals. The comeback was fueled by contributions throughout the lineup. Six different players drove in runs, including two RBIs each from Aiden Capobianco and Cameron Massey, while Matthew Heredia, Parker Weston, Ethan Smith, and Aj Bonnette each added an RBI of their own. On the mound, Derek Wenzel set the tone with 3.2 solid innings before Ethan Smith shut the door in relief, helping preserve the comeback victory. Although the Brewers have had a...

On the second day of the 2026 Perfect Game National Elite Championship, one swing turned heads across the ballpark. The next one brought everyone to a stop. With Wow Factor Nation 16U trailing midway through its matchup against Sandlot Scout Team 2028, Micheal O'Connor launched a solo home run to spark the offense.

17u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4  Day 5 | Day 6 Shea Corona (2027, Brooklyn, N.Y.) showcased some loud stuff out of the bullpen for MLB Breakthrough Series 2027. The New York native and primary shortstop topped out at 93 with the fastball, sitting comfortable in the 90-92 range. Corona paired it with a sharp and tight slider at 81-83, staying on the same plane until late. The pitch plays well already and the delivery is very athletic. The uncommitted right-hander went three scoreless and was in the zone plenty, striking out two while not allowing a walk.

Flames Natty used timely hitting and a dominant start from Beau Collier to defeat NLB American 7-3 and capture the 18U BCS National Championship on Monday at Lee Health Sports Complex. Despite being assembled just hours before the tournament began, the Flames quickly developed chemistry throughout the tournament. “This team was put together 12 hours before this tournament, and they went on a crazy run,” head coach Adam Vasquez said. “These kids know each other locally, but they don’t play together. For them to come together last minute like that, it’s crazy. I’m proud of them for that.” The game opened as a pitchers’ duel, with David Acevedo recording the lone hit through the first two innings.

Austin Lyons (2028, Cibolo, Texas) put on a display for Canes Southwest Prime 16U. Went 7-14 at the plate with a pair of doubles and triples, while driving in 13 runs. He won Tournament MVP for his efforts. Physical left-handed frame with feel to hit to all fields. Utilizes the middle of the field as well as the opposite field efficiently. Should be a force to be reckoned with as he grows into some more power. Evan Rosales (2027, Houston, Texas) was dominant on the mound for HP 2027 Allen. Went five shutout innings over the weekend, surrendering just one hit and two walks while striking out ten. Fastball lives 83-87 with some carry. Curveball is a heavy 12/6 downer at 69-74.
