MLB Mock Draft: November 13

Tyler Henninger
Isaiah Burrows
Tyler Kotila
With our first iteration of the draft board released last week, we took a stab at our first mock draft this week. Now it is only November, the draft lottery has yet to happen and we do not know the official draft order yet. Instead we ran a simulated lottery. But before we get into that, there are a couple things to address. 

The Rockies received a lottery pick in the last two years so they are ineligible to get one this year. The Nationals and Angels are not eligible to receive a lottery pick back to back years because of their role in the revenue sharing process, so they can’t receive one either. That means the Rockies, Nationals, and Angels will be selecting 11th, 12th, and 13th respectively. 



We also know the Dodgers, Blue Jays, Mets, Yankees, and Phillies will all have their first selections drop 10 spots after exceeding the second competitive-balance tax threshold. The Mets pick will have their second pick drop instead of their first if they get a top-six pick in the lottery, but that did not happen in this simulation. Because these teams' picks will be past the first round and after comp round picks, we did not include them in this mock. 

Now back to the lottery simulation. 

Nothing too crazy happened in the simulation. The top spots went to the two teams with the highest odds in the White Sox and Twins.  The Orioles, Braves, and Rays were all “winners” as they jumped up a spot or two. The Pirates and Athletics were the only “losers” as both dropped two spots. Other than that everyone else wound up in the order of their odds. 

Let’s get into the selections! 

1. Chicago White Sox: Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA
The White Sox are sprinting to the stand to turn in Cholowsky’s name to kick things off. Cholowsky has done plenty to prove himself with the Bruins, turning in a couple of quality campaigns and taking home National Player of the Year honors as well. It’s an incredibly well-rounded profile that has many believing he’s the clear-cut No. 1 in this class, even this far out in the draft cycle. - Tyler Kotila

2. Minnesota Twins: Grady Emerson, SS, Fort Worth Christian HS (Tex.)
Emerson has long been considered the top prep player in this class and goes to the Twins 2nd overall here. Advanced actions should allow Emerson to stick as short long term. A smooth left-handed stroke has consistently produced. If the power continue to progress, it is a potential 5-tool profile -Tyler Henninger

3. Baltimore Orioles: AJ Gracia, OF, Virginia
Gracia’s 2025 was nearly as clean as it gets under the hood from a contact and swing decisions perspective. If he gets into the raw power he’s shown he’s more than capable of, his sweet left-handed swing and athletic corner profile can be a good fit with Baltimore. - Isaiah Burrows

4. Atlanta Braves: Drew Burress, OF, Georgia Tech
The Braves stick in-state and in Atlanta, truthfully, to scoop up Burress with the fourth overall pick. He’s been a performer in his time with Georgia Tech, earning Freshman of the Year honors before putting up great numbers once again last season. Another big year of performance could leave him inside the Top 5 next summer.  -TK

5. Pittsburgh Pirates; Gio Rojas, LHP, Marjory Stoneman Douglas HS (Fla.)
The Pirates nab the first arm off the board here in prep lefthander Gio Rojas. The fastball sits in the mid-90’s and can work up to 97 mph out of a tough slot. A sharp slider is a swing and miss offering and a quality changeup rounds out the repertoire. The stuff along with an athletic operation give Rojas one of the higher ceilings in the class on the bump -TH

6. Tampa Bay Rays: Jacob Lombard, SS, Gulliver Schools (Fla.)
Absolute value here for Tampa Bay in this scenario, given Lombard’s tool set. There are three potential 70s on the card when it’s all said in the run, speed, and raw power. If it all comes together this spring, good chance he won’t make it here. - IB

7. Athletics: Justin Lebron, SS, Alabama
Lebron is a quality defender with good athleticism and a great feel to hit. He still needs some polish, but possesses the tools that evaluators love to rant & rave about. An uptick in performance in SEC play this season could really sway the masses. We’ve got Lebron going seventh to the Athletics in this first Mock Draft of the cycle. -TK

8. St. Louis Cardinals: Caden Sorrell, OF, Texas A&M
Sorrell impressed during his freshman campaign and was even better last year in an injury/shortened season. The Aggie outfielder generates easy juice from the left side, possessing a strong mix of bat speed and strength at 6-foot-3, 205-pounds. As long as he stays healthy, Sorrell looks to be a sure-fire first rounder with Top-10 potential -TH

9. Miami Marlins: Derek Curiel, OF, LSU
Curiel has one of the better hit tools in the class to this point, and his well-rounded ability lands him at No. 9 here to the Marlins. He’s posting some loud EVs in fall ball, and if he gets into more fly ball impact, he checks nearly every box. -IB

10. Colorado Rockies: Sawyer Strosnider, OF, TCU
Strosnider earned Freshman Player of the Year honors for his performance with TCU last season. Bat speed, plus power, and quality defense/arm strength in the outfield profiles out well, especially with a big-time freshman campaign to back it up. As a draft-eligible sophomore, we’ve got him landing with the Rockies at No. 10. -TK

11. Washington Nationals: Liam Peterson, RHP, Florida
The Nats are able to grab the top college arm off the board here at 11 with Peterson. While the numbers haven’t necessarily reflected it yet, Peterson possesses power stuff. It’s a strong, durable frame with a four-pitch mix. The fastball consistently sits in the upper-90’s. There’s feel for the secondary offerings. The arm talent and raw stuff is amongst, if not the best in the class. -TH

12. Los Angeles Angels: Cameron Flukey, RHP, Coastal Carolina
Flukey could fit the Angels’ mold here, a massive 6-foot-6 frame up to 98 with extension and plenty of riding life up in the zone. The breaking ball took big strides last year with a promising changeup and frontline starter traits to build upon. -IB

13. Arizona Diamondbacks: Tyler Spangler, SS, De La Salle HS (Calif.)
The Diamondbacks have been prep-heavy with their early picks in recent years, and we’ve got them staying on-brand by selecting California-native Tyler Spangler at 13th overall. Spangler’s got a really easy-to-like profile, with projection that remains, tons of present athleticism, and a track record of performing on the circuit. -TK

14. Texas Rangers: Will Brick, C, Christian Brothers HS (Tenn.)
This selection would mark the second time in three years that Texas would use their first pick on a catcher, but the tools and potential are just too good to pass on. Brick recently reclassified and immediately became the top catcher in the class. Outstanding catch and throw ability stand out to go along with potential power at the plate. -TH

15. San Francisco Giants: Ace Reese, 3B/1B, Mississippi State
Huge value here as Reese has a chance to make his way into the Top 10. It’s a pure left-handed bat with all-fields juice, and he ambushes fastballs to the pull side. The defensive corner profile is a bit in question to this point, but the hit and power are top-of-class good heading into the year. - IB

16. Kansas City Royals: Carson Bolemon, LHP, Southside Christian Schools (S.C.)
The Royals dip into the prep class to grab a southpaw at 16th overall. Bolemon works into the low-90s with a hard-downer breaking ball that has helped him become one of the more dominant prep arms on the circuit. With top-of-the-class stuff and command, he’s likely to be one of the early prep arms off the board behind Rojas. - TK

17. Houston Astros: Tyler Bell, SS, Kentucky
The Astros could be getting a steal with Bell here when it’s all said and done. While the Kentucky shortstop doesn’t have any extremely loud tools, he possesses above-average tools across the board. There is a strong shot to stick at shortstop. The feel to hit stands other with more power to tap into. -TH

18. Cincinnati Reds: Jackson Flora, RHP, UC Santa Barbara
Flora is one of the top collegiate arms with a loud mix and starter traits. It’s a high-90s heater with feel for two breaking balls and real athleticism in the delivery. One of the faster arms in the class, and the command took some massive strides last year. 

19. Boston Red Sox: Eric Becker, SS, Virginia
The Red Sox stick with a college prospect as they have done in recent years, taking Eric Becker, who’s got some premium numbers with Virginia over the past few years. Becker’s got a healthy blend of bat-to-ball and power that profiles out well with quality numbers to back it up as well. -TK

20. San Diego Padres: Logan Schmidt, LHP, Ganesha HS (Calif.)
The Padres stay on the West Coast and grab Schmidt here. After reclassing, Schmidt is one the top prep lefthanders in the class. The fastball works in the mid-90’s. A polished three-pitch mix is consistently commanded and misses bats at a high rate. Schmidt has a strong chance to start long term. -TH

21. Cleveland Guardians: Eric EJ Booth Jr., OF, Oak Grove HS (Miss.)
The speed and power Booth Jr. has is obvious, but the swing decisions and bat-to-ball at premier events this summer have put him amongst the top of the prep class. He’s a dynamic toolsy upside talent with up-the-middle ability, checking boxes that Cleveland looks for.  -IB

22. Detroit Tigers: Kevin Roberts Jr., OF, Jackson Preparatory (Miss.)
Roberts Jr. has been a fixture near the top of the rankings on the prep circuit since re-classing to the 2026 class. He’s a high-level athlete with plenty of tools in the shed and projection there. The Tigers have been loading up on prep talent in recent years, and we’ve got them sticking to that narrative by selecting Robers Jr. at 22nd overall. - TK

23. Chicago Cubs: Christopher Rembert, IF/OF, Auburn
Rembert put together a stellar freshman campaign, posting a 1.022 OPS with 10 homeruns and a 1:1 K:BB ratio, and could be a candidate to quickly rise up boards this spring. The sophomore eligible Rembert possesses quick bat speed within a simple operation. There is a strong feel for the zone to go with quality bat to ball skills. The power showed up a little last year with more to tap into. -TH

24. Seattle Mariners: Kaeden Waecther, RHP, Tampa Jesuit HS (Fla.)
 It has been a rare sight to see the Mariners nab prep arms in the first round, but Waechter may be too hard to pass up with his starter ingredients. A premium athletic prep arm with a mid-to-upper-90s fastball with big metrics and one of the best sliders in the prep class. It’s three pitches with a sound frame and all kinds of to build off.  

25. Milwaukee Brewers: Jensen Hirschkorn, RHP, Kingsburg HS (Calif.)
Hirschkorn has been a big riser on the circuit to this point, recently committing to LSU. The long and lean righty works the mid-90s on the fastball with great secondaries to boot. Hirschkorn could very well fit the Brewers mold and be a great get at 25th overall. -TK

2026 MLB Draft: Roster Challenge
Tyler Henninger
Article Image
With the 2026 MLB Draft complete, our own draft team put together a fun exercise. Using a snake style draft format, we each had to build a roster using players selected in the 2026 MLB Draft. There was one catch. Each team could select only one player from each of the first 10 rounds, plus one player from Rounds 11-20. You did not have to go in order of each round, meaning you could jump between rounds and pick which players you thought had the most value. Each team installed a different strategy, balancing between star power, positional value, and depth. You tell us, which team do you think has the most talent? Team Albee C: Vahn Lackey, Georgia Tech (1st rd) 1B: Will Adams, Hoover HS (11th rd) MIF: Cole Prosek, Magnolia Heights HS (2nd rd) MIF: Eric Guevara, Auburn (7th rd) 3B: Robert Omidi, Fieldhouse Pirates (8th rd) OF: Kevin Roberts Jr, Jackson Prep HS (4th rd) OF: Alex...

Alyssa Golden
Article Image
Ranked fifth nationally entering the tournament, Florida Burn 2027 Scout left no doubt who the best team was at the 17U BCS National Championship. Burn finished a perfect 9-0 tournament, earning an 11-1 semifinal victory before defeating No. 86-ranked Original Florida Pokers 2027 National, 9-1, Tuesday afternoon at JetBlue Park.

UBC Midwest X Atlantic Notes: Part 1

Blaine Peterson
Article Image
Jack Postma (2028, Barrington, IL) made an impression in Chicago this week. A 6-foot-5 right hander with a starter pitch mix. Topped out at 93 in his outing at UBC Midwest and pitched at 88-93 for 2 innings on the mound. Slider showed late horizontal bite at its best when finished out front. Change up is a usable third pitch with fading action and ability to miss bats. Clean overall operation in the delivery. Upside with added stability in the arm action. Chance to be one of the top prospects in Illinois and potentially the country with necessary adjustments moving forward.  Connor Basinski (2028, Columbia, IL) an athletic player with 2-way potential. Physicality stands out for a player in the 2028 class. Swung the bat impressively well in Chicago. Hits from a wide stance and stays balanced using strength and leverage to drive the baseball to all fields. Launched a long pull side...

Perfect Game Staff

15u WWBA Scout Notes: Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 Mason Conner (2029, Palestine, Texas) was a force in the middle-of-the-order for Gold Culture. The right-handed hitter starts from a medium stance with in-line feet and a low handset with a low back elbow, utilizes a negative leg lift stride. Strides through and uncoils the lower half well and creates separation in the back shoulder. Solid hand speed with a flat bat plane and feel to leverage and lift. Impacts the ball well with feel to impact and drive. The shortstop showed the power upside belting a two-run homer over the fence in left field and added a two-RBI knock later in the game.

Coppy's Corner: July 21 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: Coen Niclai – Wareham Gatemen  The Internet tells me that 12 MLB players have come from Alaska, 10 of whom were from Anchorage, and the best of which is Curt Schilling. Niclai, who is also...

FTB National Completes Elite Run

Kinley Kitchens

Championships are never won in a single game. For FTB National 2027, this one has been in the making for years. An 8-0 victory over Team Elite 17U Scout capped off an unforgettable week at the 2026 Perfect Game 17U National Elite Championship, but according to those inside the dugout, the championship was a product of friendships formed long before the tournament ever began. FTB took their first national elite win in team history, giving one of the nation’s top 2027 teams an elite ending to their 17U summer. “This is a homegrown group,” head coach Will Haynie said. “This team has been together for the last four or five years, and I think a lot of them have been together since the Little League World Series when they were 12. It’s been fun, and a nice little cap off to their 17U summer, especially after winning a big event like this.” That chemistry...
