PG Draft: Top-100 Reports (April Update)

1. 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 only tool that doesn’t jump off the page, but still is a 50 and should not impact his upside much. Cholowsky should immediately become one of the better prospects in the minor leagues once his name is called come July.

2. Grady Emerson, SS, Fort Worth Christian
L-R, 6-2/180, Argyle, TX
College Commitment: Texas

Grady Emerson has been a highly touted prospect for years, and he’s held firm near the top of our boards. A smooth-fielding shortstop with athleticism, a solid averager arm and good feet, Emerson projects to stick at the “6” long-term. He possesses a smooth, efficient left-handed stroke with good natural angles in the swing and has shown an aptitude to spray all fields with hard contact. Given the frame and projection there, he should slowly grow into major league average power when it’s all said and done. A plus runner with an athletic gait, he should not slow down as the body matures and packs on more weight. It’s a five tool package, and he could easily see his name called 1:1 in another year if it wasn’t for the man above him on our board. He is a 15u & 18u USA National team alum, a Perfect Game All-American and the #1 ranked player in the 2026 class. Emerson is committed to the University of Texas.

For more on Emerson, read his high school notebook here.

3. Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech
R-R, 6-2/215, Suwanee, GA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Vahn Lackey entered the year as an intriguing prospect with upside, but has taken leaks forward and become one of the best prospects in the class. The Georgia Tech backstop is a supreme athlete that can play anywhere on the diamond. Behind the plate, he moves extremely well and possesses 70-grade arm strength. He will stick there long term and provide plenty of value. The offensive profile is what has taken the profile to new heights. He features a plus hit tool with strong bat to ball skills. There is advanced feel for the zone that results in a high walk rate. The power was the biggest question coming into the season, but that is no longer the case. Lackey has set a career high in homers and extra-base hits, all while posting strong EV numbers. The profile as a whole is extremely well-rounded with impact on both sides of the ball.

For more on Lackey, read his college report here.

4. Jackson Flora, RHP, UC Santa Barbara
R-R, 6-5/205, Pleasanton, CA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Jackson Flora is a high-end arm with present stuff and projection. A lanky 6-foot-5, 205-pound frame stands out on the bump. It is an athletic operation with a loose, whippy arm into release. The fastball has touched triple digits with big time carry. He added to his pitch mix this spring, giving him a deep repertoire to toy with hitters. A firm slider has long been an outstanding pitch. An added sweeper with big horizontal action has been effective this spring, along with the new kick change that has been effective against left-handed hitters. Not only is the stuff impressive, but the performance has been too. The right-hander currently possesses a sub-1 ERA with over 11 K/9 and around 3 BB/9. The upside is some of the best in the class with Flora having a strong chance to be the first pitcher off the board.

For more on Flora, read his college report here.

5. Jacob Lombard, SS, Gulliver Schools
R-R, 6-3/185, Miami, FL
College Commitment: Miami

Jacob Lombard has the big league bloodlines, the size and athleticism to become a slam dunk MLB shortstop with plus power to go with a sturdy glove at a premium position. He is a near double plus runner at this stage and will hold steady there as he physically matures. The defensive actions at shortstop are crisp, and he routinely shows the hands and internal clock necessary to handle the position at the highest level of the game. His power may ultimately reach 65 to double plus as well, but it will ultimately rely upon how the hit tool develops. That is currently the biggest question mark surrounding his profile, but those most bullish on Lombard are going to bank on the bloodlines and athlete. Ultimately, the enticement of a potential gold glove caliber shortstop with plus power and plus run is going to be too much for clubs to hold off on. Lombard is a Perfect Game All-American and is committed to Miami.

6. AJ Gracia, OF, University of Virginia
L-L, 6-3/195, Monroe, NJ
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

AJ Gracia has had an extremely strong spring to this point with Virginia, posting a .932 OPS in conference play while walking (17.9%) more than he is striking out (16.8%) within the ACC. He has a natural feel for the barrel head and limits whiffs well, while getting into his pole to pole power with ease. He creates natural leverage and angles in the swing, leading to quality hard hit launch angles as well as getting it in the air to his pull-side often. He is bound for a corner in pro ball, but the offensive profile here is one that has a chance to move through the minor leagues quickly given the impact and barrel skills. It’s a pro ready body and there is still room to project some more physicality to it as well.

For more on Gracia, read his college report here.

7. Ace Reece, 3B, Mississippi State
L-R, 6-4/220, Canton, TX
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Ace Reese has built on his 2025 breakout by turning in another productive season in the SEC, reinforcing his profile as a physical, power-oriented corner infielder with a polished offensive base. Even with a slight step back in traditional stats, his overall skill set continues to point toward success against top-tier pitching. Reese’s game is centered around his ability to impact the baseball. He creates impressive contact with plus bat speed and a naturally leveraged swing path that produces frequent lifted contact, particularly to the pull side. The ball jumps off his bat, and his raw strength shows up consistently in game action, giving him legitimate run-producing upside in the heart of a lineup. His size and strength stand out in the box, and there’s minimal effort required for him to generate damage. On defense, Reese remains a work in progress at third base, where his actions can lack consistency from play to play with his below avg. quickness and arm but has definitely seen improvements from last spring. Still, the offensive upside carries the profile, with his blend of strength, lift, and approach giving him a chance to develop into a serious middle-of-the-order threat at the next level.

8. Eric Booth Jr, OF, Oak Grove HS
L-L, 6-0/207, Bassfield, MS
College Commitment: Vanderbilt

Eric Booth Jr has been the biggest rising prep this spring. The Mississippi prep outfielder is a dynamic athlete with strength and explosiveness throughout his game. The swing is a bit unique, but Booth has feel for the barrel and shows strong contact skills. A strong, compact frame should allow him to hit for above-average power down the line. A 70-grade run tools rounds out an impressive offensive profile. That speed plays well in center field, where Booth has both instincts and range. The profile is a nice mix of upside and safety.

9. Justin Lebron, SS, Alabama
R-R, 6-2/190, Miramar, FL
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Justin Lebron has evolved from an under-the-radar prep shortstop into one of the premier prospects in the 2026 class, with a profile that screams first-round upside. It’s a 6-foot-2, 180-pound frame that brings a prototypical blend of athleticism, bat speed and physical projection. Lebron generates well-above-average raw power with a leveraged swing geared for lift, showing the ability to drive the ball out to all fields, particularly when he’s on time against velocity. He does well against heaters but the main area of refinement remains with his aggressiveness as at times he expands the zone against spin. If he reaches even an average 50-grade hit tool, the profile jumps to All-Star caliber. At SS, he looks like a plus defender. He pairs a quick first step with fluid actions and range to both sides, along with a plus arm capable of making throws from multiple angles. Add in above-average speed and instincts on the bases, and he checks a ton of boxes. The overall package of tools, quality performance, and makeup positions him as a potential impact big league shortstop.

10. Drew Burress, OF, Georgia Tech
R-R, 5-9/185, Perry, GA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Drew Burress has emerged as one of the most dynamic bats in college baseball combining elite production with some well-rounded tools. Despite a smaller 5-foot-9 frame and limited physical projection, Burress generates explosive bat speed from a compact right-handed swing where it’s all fields plus power. He shows advanced plate discipline and an ability to consistently get the barrel on quality heaters. There is some effort in the operation with his pronounced leg kick and occasional drift that can lengthen the swing and leave him vulnerable to offspeed pitches but his quick hands and strong pitch recognition help mitigate those concerns. Evaluators remain split on how his offensive profile will translate with wood bats, though the underlying approach and bat speed are encouraging indicators. Defensively, Burress profiles as a viable center fielder thanks to solid speed, instincts, and range, though he could shift to right field where his above-average arm would be an asset. His IQ, makeup, and track record of performance elevate the profile, giving him a strong chance to be one of the first outfielders selected in the draft.

11. Gio Rojas, LHP, Marjory Stoneman Douglas
L-R, 6-4/190, Coral Springs, FL
College Commitment: Miami

Gio Rojas profiles as an easy first-round talent due to his combination of physical projection, athleticism, and elite arm talent from the left side. At 6-foot-4 with a lean, high-waisted build and broad shoulders, he offers plenty of room to add strength, pointing to even more velocity and durability in the future. His delivery is loose and efficient, highlighted by exceptional arm speed and a deceptive lower three-quarters slot that can drop even further, creating uncomfortable angles for hitters especially left-handers. The fastball is his defining weapon, already reaching the upper 90s with life and natural movement that should translate into consistent effectiveness at the next level. He shows the ability to manipulate the pitch, giving it different shapes while maintaining its power. His slider complements it well, featuring high spin and sweeping action that projects as a true out pitch with continued refinement. Together, the two pitches form a foundation that is difficult to find in amateur left-handers. There are areas for growth, particularly with a third pitch, some slight mechanical stuff and overall command, but his athleticism and relatively simple delivery suggest he can make those necessary adjustments. With his upside, arm quality, and projection Rojas fits comfortably in the first-round conversation.

12. Ryder Helfrick, C, Arkansas
R-R, 6-1/210, Discovery Bay, CA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Ryder Helfrick has been a steady riser since getting on campus with Arkansas, as the seasoning and experience over the course of a couple SEC springs has refined his approach in the box. A Perfect Game All-American in 2022, he’s seen his strikeout percentage drop year over year, sitting at 17% in totality and 20% in conference play to this point in the spring. His impact has never been in question, as he gets into power easily thanks to the angles he can create in the swing. He gets plenty of torque out of his hips and gets to a firm front side, leading to steady impact out front. The total whiff and chase numbers have improved from last spring to this one, giving promising signs to the projection on the hit tool down the line. His walk percentage is up to 21.3%, a near eight percent increase from last year’s final mark. Behind the plate, Helfrick projects to stick as he possesses a good throwing arm and athleticism out of the crouch. He is still working on the polish to his overall defensive package, but the tools are in place there. Bullish evaluators are going to bank on the athletic power hitting backstop that projects to stick there, even if there are some concerns with the hit tool. But as previously noted, he has made strides in that department.

For more on Helfrick, read his college report here.
https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/PlayerProfile.aspx?ID=737309&cpr=3624#3624

13. Chris Hacopian, 2B, Texas A&M
R-R, 6-1/210, Potomac, MD
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Chris Hacopian has surged up boards this spring, bringing one of the more polished and advanced bats to the table in this collegiate draft class. Given the under the hood data and performance, he figures to be a prospect that once in a professional system, may get moved aggressively through the minors. It’s a blend of power, contact rates and swing decisions that are going to have draft rooms bullish on the profile. He’s likely to end up at second or third base at the next level, as he possesses an average arm and is a below average runner at this point in time. He’s made a good bit of groundball contact this spring which has hampered his slugging output a bit, but the data there isn’t going to be anything that will scare teams off the bat. Hacopian’s stock has never been higher than it is right now.

14. Cameron Flukey, RHP, Coastal Carolina
R-R, 6-6/210, Egg Harbor Township, N
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Cameron Flukey entered the year in the conversation for SP1, but a rib injury has limited him to just one start this spring. Because it is not an arm issue or a long term concern, Flukey should still be one of the first arms off the board. The right-hander features a lanky 6-foot-6 frame with plenty of room to add. The fastball works into the upper-90’s with exceptional riding life. He uses a pair of breaking balls with a 12-6 curveball and a gyro slider. Flukey will also mix in a fading changeup that is effective against left-handed hitters. Along with the advanced stuff, the control is impressive. Flukey pounds the zone and throws strikes at a high rate. Flukey checks off a lot of boxes you look for in a first round arm.

15. Cole Carlon, LHP, Arizona State
L-L, 6-5/230, Tempe, AZ
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Cole Carlon has surged up boards this spring, as the stuff has ticked up and so have the strikes. This has lent a hand to evaluators believing in the ability to start games in pro ball, as he sports a 30.6% K-BB% over 52 innings and ten starts this spring. He is limiting damage, and in his most recent start, Carlon ran the fastball up to 100-mph. It’s significant velocity to go along with a true swing and miss bullet slider, a weapon that has been a persistent key in his arsenal. Thanks to his high release angle and upper 80’s reading on the offering, this slider is missing bats over 50% of the time this spring and projects to a true plus pitch and put-away offering. He will need to continue expanding and refining his arsenal, but up to 100-mph with more strikes than ever and a plus slider is a great base to build upon.

For more on Carlon, read his college report here.

16. Jared Grindlinger, LHP/OF, Huntington Beach HS
L-L, 6-3/185, Huntington Beach, California
College Commitment: Tennessee

Jared Grindlinger offers one of the more complete profiles in the 2027 class, blending high-end upside on the mound with a polished offensive skill set. The 6-foot-3 left-hander has a projectable build that should continue to add strength, supporting future gains across the board. On the mound, he works with a clean, repeatable delivery where the arm works real loose and whippy to a consistent release allowing for strong strikes and consistent shapes. His FB reaches the mid-90s with late ride/run shape and he has advanced feel for his breaking ball that has sharp and late depth and the ability to miss bats. A developing changeup gives him a well-rounded arsenal and reinforces his starter projection. Offensively, Grindlinger is just as intriguing. He features a smooth left-handed swing that stays flat through the zone, enabling frequent barrel contact against a variety of pitch types. His approach is mature, using the entire field with a natural feel for timing and pitch recognition. While the hit tool stands out now as one of the most reliable in the class, there is also emerging power tied to his physical projection with room to grow into more impact as he adds strength. The combination of athleticism, feel for the game, and two-way ability makes him a rare talent with both a high floor and significant ceiling, firmly placing him in first-round consideration.

For more on Grindlinger, read his high school notebook here.

17. Tyler Bell, SS, Kentucky
S-R, 6-1/190, Frankfort, IL
Previously Drafted: 2024/2nd Rd. (Rays)

Tyler Bell entered the year as a projected first round pick and unfortunately injured his non-throwing shoulder during the first weekend of action this spring. Now back healthy, Bell still has a profile that is likely to go early in the first round. The shortstop is a switch-hitter with an above-average hit tool and some impact to go with it. Defensively, he is sure-handed on the dirt with the ability to make plays consistently. There may not be an overly loud tool within the profile, but it is extremely well-rounded and provides a high floor with less risk than some of the other college infielders on the board.

For more on Bell, read his college report here.

18. Mason Edwards, LHP, USC
L-L, 6-2/190, Los Angeles, CA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Mason Edwards has skyrocketed up boards with a dominant spring campaign. The Trojan left-hander does not overpower hitters, but consistently misses bats and avoids barrels. An overhead slot hides the ball extremely well. The fastball velocity does not jump out, sitting in the low-90’s, but quality shape allows it to play higher than that. The curveball at 77-82 mph has sharp, downward action and can be tough for hitters to pick up. Edwards also shows a slider in the same velocity range with shorter action. A low-80’s changeup rounds out the arsenal. The stuff is thrown for strikes consistently, allowing Edwards to work deep into games. Edwards has solidified his case in the upper tier of left-handed college arms.

For more on Edwards, read his college report here.

19. Sawyer Strosnider, OF, Texas Christian University
L-L, 6-2/205, Brock, Texas
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Sawyer Strosnider is a draft eligible sophomore that came out last spring for TCU and had an impact campaign, posting a 1.070 OPS with 11 homeruns and hitting .350. Fast forward to this spring, he has slowed down a tick in the offensive production but still possesses first round tools that are going to get him drafted. He possesses quality power potential and can impact the baseball out front, but has been a bit susceptible to chase and whiff both in and out of the zone this spring. That will be the biggest knock on the profile inside draft rooms, and teams will need to be confident in the ability to project out the bat. He is a plus runner with a good arm and defensive ability, and may get sent out as a centerfielder in pro ball if teams are bullish on the value he can provide there. For now, he’s been a corner outfielder and would slot in just fine in right field as well.

For more on Strosnider, read his college report here.

20. Carson Bolemon, LHP/1B, Southside Christian Schools
R-L, 6-4/210, Greenville, SC
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Carson Bolemon throws with the left hand, has an advanced feel to pound the zone with projectable command and can spin the baseball. It’s a quality four pitch arsenal (FB, SL, CB, CH) with a strong, durable body that evaluators are going to feel confident in projecting out a future mid rotation starter here. Bolemon has been a performer forever on the tournament scene and has done nothing but impress year over year. He currently sits in the low 90’s with his fastball and can work both his low 80’s slider and upper 70’s curveball in and out of the zone to garner results. There is a good bit more polish here for a prep arm than normal. He was a standout performer for the 18U USA national team last year as well. Bolemon is a Perfect Game All-American and is committed to Wake Forest.

21. Eric Becker, SS, Virginia
L-R, 6-3/190, Thiells, NY
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Eric Becker fits the mold of a first-round talent because of the reliability and polish in his offensive profile, anchored by a mature left-handed swing that consistently produces quality contact. He shows a refined ability to square up pitches in the zone, using a controlled path and natural barrel accuracy. His approach allows him to handle velocity while also showing adaptability in the swing as well that separates himself from other college hitters. There is also untapped impact potential tied to his physical projection. With added strength, his current extra-base production could translate into more over-the-fence output without sacrificing his quality contact profile. That blend of present hit tool and future power upside gives evaluators confidence in his long-term offensive value. Defensively, Becker’s instincts and internal clock help maximize a skill set that may not be toolsy but is fundamentally sound. His hands and awareness provide versatility across the infield, increasing his appeal to clubs seeking dependable everyday contributors. Even without standout athletic traits, his well-rounded game, steady performance track record, and his offensive floor make him a strong candidate to come off the board early.

For more on Becker, read his college report here.

22. Derek Curiel, OF, LSU
L-R, 6-2/192, West Covina, CA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Derek Curiel brings true feel to hit to the table with the left-handed bat and projectable centerfield ability. Despite a lack in power and more than likely never eclipsing the below average power mark on the scouting scale, he runs low K% while being able to work linedrive contact from line to line. It’s a smooth, effortless and compact left-handed stroke that has allowed Curiel to hit at every stop for years now. The big attractors here are going to be his ability to limit whiff at an elite rate while not chasing. While he puts the ball on the ground The bat projects nicely. He’s not a burner on the basepaths and is more of an average runner, but he projects to stay in centerfield thanks to his instincts, reads and angles he is able to take to the baseball. Left field would be the next role if center does not pan. The arm likely settles around fringe average, as well. The elite bat to ball guy with potential centerfield projection is going to catch eyes with this kind of track record.

23. Aiden Robbins, OF, Texas
R-R, 6-2/205, Yardley, PA
Previously Drafted: Not Drafted

Aiden Robbins has one of the more intriguing offensive profiles in his class. After starring at Seton Hall, he carried his high level performance momentum to Texas where his production has held up against SEC pitching despite an expected adjustment period. His track record, including a standout summer in the Cape Cod Baseball League, reinforces the legitimacy of his bat. Robbins’ offensive value is rooted in his ability to consistently square the ball up. He combines quick hands with natural strength to produce loud contact, and his swing path allows him to drive the ball with authority particularly to the pull side. There’s a blend of contact skill and impact that stands out, giving him both a high floor and meaningful power upside. Equally important is his approach. He shows a refined understanding of the strike zone, rarely expanding unnecessarily while still attacking pitches he can handle. Even with some swing-and-miss present, the overall offensive profile remains highly productive because of how often he makes damaging contact. Defensively, Robbins has experience in center field but may ultimately fit better in a corner spot long term. Regardless, it’s the bat that drives his value, with a combination of hitting ability and real power that puts him firmly in first-round consideration.

For more on Robbins, read his college report here.

24. Logan Schmidt, LHP, Ganesha
L-L, 6-4/215, Aliso Viejo, CA
College Commitment: LSU

Logan Schmidt was originally a part of the ‘27 class, but immediately jumped near the top of the prep arm rankings once he classed to ‘26. The young left-hander has the ability to attack the zone with a three-pitch mix. The fastball works 93-96 mph and allows him to get ahead often. He has feel for an upper-70’s curveball that could develop into a solid offering. Schmidt will also mix in a low-80’s changeup with fade often. The present stuff, projectability, and age will make for a very intriguing profile with obvious upside

For more on Schmidt, read his high school notebook here.

25. Logan Reddemann, RHP, UCLA
R-R, 6-2/200, Palmdale, CA
Previously Drafted: Not Drafted

Logan Reddemann has emerged as one of the most compelling pitching prospects in the 2026 class where his physicality, athleticism, and rapidly evolving arsenal points toward top-of-the-rotation upside. The UCLA right-hander brings a strong, durable build and repeats a dynamic delivery that allows him to generate premium velocity deep into outings. His fastball plays at an elite level, showing the ability to overpower hitters in the mid-upper 90s while maintaining life/carry through the zone, giving him a foundational pitch that can dominate at the next level. What separates Reddemann is the breadth and versatility of his repertoire. He offers multiple distinct breaking looks, including a firmer cutter/slider, a bigger curveball with vertical depth and a new sweeping SL. His changeup stands out as a potential difference-maker, featuring arm speed deception and late depth that shows effectiveness against both righties and lefties. That pitch gives him a legitimate weapon to neutralize advanced bats. Beyond the raw stuff, Reddemann throws strikes at an elite clip and competes with confidence, traits that suggest long-term starting viability. The combination of power, a deep mix, and strike-throwing ability makes him a high-ceiling arm with the polish and consistency teams covet in the first round.

For more on Reddemann, read his college report here.

26. Caden Sorrell, OF, Texas A&M
L-L, 6-3/210, Highland VIllage, TX
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Caden Sorrell is one of the predominant power hitters in the SEC and also provides an intruding speed element to his game. The Aggie outfielder has the ability to leave the yard to any part of the park. A lofted path is geared to drive balls in the air with authority. There are some pitch recognition issues at times and some contact concerns, The numbers have continued to get better each year on campus and organizations are sure to be interested in the left-handed power.

27. Cade Townsend, RHP, Ole Miss
R-R/ 6-1/185, Aliso Viejo, CA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Cade Townsend is a draft-eligible sophomore that has quickly accelerated up the board. The right-hander features an athletic delivery that allows him to attack the zone at a high clip with an extremely deep repertoire. Townsend has shown a wide array of pitch types this spring. The fastball sits mid-to-upper 90’s with quality shape. A low-90’s cutter stays off the barrel and the slider sits in the mid-80’s with big sweeping action. A curveball with 12-6 actions gives hitters a different look, while a splitter has quality tumble. There is no shortage of ways that Townsend can go at hitters and he does so effectively. It is a quality mix of swing and miss and strikes. There is obvious starter upside with a track record of success in the SEC.

28. Sean Duncan, LHP, Terry Fox Secondary School
R-L, 6-3/180, Port Coquitlam, BC, CAN
College Commitment: Vanderbilt

Sean Duncan provides plenty of projection for teams to fall in love with, as the long and lean left-handed arm has a fastball that sits in the low 90’s and has been up to 95-mph this spring. It’s a strike throwing operation that evaluators can rely on becoming a starter at the big league level with at least average command. He possesses a quality change-up in his arsenal, which currently leads his secondary arsenal in terms of quality and feel. The slider has been steadily improving over the last calendar year and he possesses the capacity to continue improving it. Duncan is going to be barely eighteen years old on draft, only further lighting up his stock both with decision makers and models alike. Lots of clay here with plenty of ingredients to like.

29. Trevor Condon, OF/2B, Etowah HS
L-R, 5-11/175, Woodstock, GA
College Commitment: Tennessee

Trevor Condon is one of the more dynamic prep talents in the class, offering a blend of athleticism, instincts, and offensive upside that fits into first-round conversations. Despite not possessing prototypical size, he maximizes every bit of his frame with explosive actions and high-end quickness that impact the game in multiple phases. In the box, Condon brings a quick-twitch operation with excellent barrel control, consistently squaring balls up and spraying contact across the field. His hands are quick through the zone, allowing him to drive pitches with authority while maintaining balance and adjustability. There’s sneaky pop in the profile as well that has continued to trend upward. The overall offensive package points to an easy above avg. hit tool with developing extra-base impact. His speed is a true separator. It plays both on defense and out of the box, pressuring defenses and turning routine plays into close ones. That same quickness translates seamlessly in center field, where he covers significant ground and projects as a long-term asset at a premium position. What elevates Condon further is his intensity and baseball IQ. He plays with urgency, makes instinctive decisions, and consistently influences the game without needing to rely solely on production.

For more on Condon, read his high school notebook here.

30. Logan Hughes, OF, Texas Tech
L-L, 5-11/211, Deland, FL
Previously Drafted: Not Drafted

Logan Hughes has developed into one of the better bats in college anchored by a strong mix of barrel accuracy, impact, and overall consistency. The left-handed hitter shows advanced feel for the barrel, repeatedly squaring pitches in all quadrants of the strike zone. His swing is efficient and direct, allowing him to stay on plane for a long time and produce loud contact without excessive effort. That combination leads to both a high contact rate and meaningful extra-base damage, a combination that evaluators covet at the next level. His offensive approach further strengthens the profile, blending selectivity with consistent on-base ability. Hughes pairs his bat-to-ball ability with a disciplined eye, consistently working deep counts and reaching base at a high clip. He doesn’t expand the zone often and when pitchers challenge him he has the bat speed and strength to do damage. What truly elevates his profile is the quality of his contact. He drives the baseball with authority to all fields and shows natural carry off the bat, giving him legitimate middle-of-the-order upside. While his defensive value is likely limited to a corner, the offensive profile is impactful enough to carry the overall value making him a legitimate first-round candidate.

For more on Hughes, read his college report here.

31. Brody Bumila, LHP, Bishop Feehan
L-L, 6-9/255, Raynham, MA
College Commitment: Texas

It’s hard to not fall in love with the projection on a towering southpaw that can sling it at 100-mph in the cold northeast weather early on in his season, with over 7 feet of extension. Bumila offers just that. He is a good mover down the slope, getting over his front side with a strong lower half and good elasticity throughout the delivery. It’s a big projection pick, as the secondary arsenal and control is going to be what needs to refine and develop. He features a tight slider in the mix, and a tertiary change-up that he will change slots on and struggle to land. Given the current velocity he possesses for a prep, the change will take a backseat and is not going to be used very often this spring. Overall, evaluators most bullish on him are going to be lenient with his future control and command grades, banking on the athlete and seasoning he will get with pro dev to work out the kinks. There may be some reliever risk here, but it gets to a point where we don't want to overthink it too much… a 6-foot 9 southpaw that is just eighteen and two months old is up to 100-mph and showing some feel to spin a slider. The delivery is repeatable, and there is not much effort to speak of here as he pitches in the upper 90’s. That is the selling point, and clubs are going to trust their player development process to turn him into a starter. Bumila is committed to the University of Texas.

32. Will Brick, C, Christian Brothers
R-R, 6-2/195, Memphis, TN
College Commitment: Mississippi State

Will Brick is a young reclass, coming up from the ‘27 group back in October of ‘25 and promptly landed in first round discussions thanks to his polished skillset behind the dish and projectable bat. He’s got a plus throwing arm behind the dish, good athleticism in and out of the crouch, and he handles premium stuff well working the pocket to any part of the zone. Add in the makeup that evaluators praise him for, and you have a legitimate defender who can stick there for years to come. It’s a fast right-handed bat too, as he accelerates the barrel head nicely and gets into some impact. He makes plenty of contact and can go to all fields. The prep catcher demographic can get murky, but Brick is held in high regard for a reason. He is committed to Mississippi State.

33. Chris Rembert, 2B, Auburn
R-R, 6-0/202, Pensacola, FL
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Chris Rembert is a draft-eligible sophomore and is in the midst of yet another strong showing in the SEC. The right-handed hitting Rembert features plus bat speed that stands out at the plate and a clean path to contact. There is some swing and miss to the profile but the hit tool has a chance to be a 50 down the line. The in-game power likely grades out as a 50 as well, giving Rembert a well-rounded profile. Rembert grades out as a solid defender at second base, with quality lateral movement and the ability to throw from multiple slot.

34. Coleman Borthwick, RHP/3B, South Walton
R/R, 6-6/255, Freeport, FL
College Commitment: Auburn

They don’t come quite more physical than this, as Borthwick stands at a hulking 6’6/255 pounds on the mound. Despite the size and assumptions one may make about the mover and athlete, he gets down the slope well, repeating his delivery at a high level to produce consistent strikes. He gets over his front side nicely, working to a low three-quarters slot release that is on time often. It’s an efficient arm action, and with some tweaks to the delivery, more consistent velocity is certainly in the cards. At our High School Showdown back in February, he was up to 96-mph and worked in the 93-95 band over four innings with eight strikeouts, no hits and no walks allowed. A post of Borthwick hitting 100-mph in a game setting made the rounds on social media not too long ago. He snaps off a sharp two plane slider with comfort that very well could grade as plus on some evaluator’s cards. He also has a sparsely used change-up in his bag as well. Size, strikes and spin are all boxes he checks right now. Borthwick is a talented hitter as well, with plenty of power in the stick. However, at this stage, he is preferred on the mound.

For more on Borthwick, read his high school notebook here.

35. Blake Bowen, OF, JSerra Catholic
R-R, 6-3/215, Riverside, CA
College Commitment: Oregon State

Blake Bowen has rapidly emerged as one of the most compelling upside bets in the 2026 class because of his outlier physicality and quickly evolving skill set. A former multi-sport athlete at JSerra Catholic, his transition to full-time baseball has unlocked significant gains, particularly in his offensive consistency. Bowen brings imposing strength and explosive bat speed, producing elite-level impact that could project comfortably at the top of a professional lineup. What’s elevated his profile is the noticeable improvements in his approach showing better pitch selection, timing, and a growing ability to square different pitch types with authority. Despite his size, Bowen is a surprisingly fluid mover. He runs well underway and covers ground effectively, giving him a legitimate chance to handle center field early in his career. His arm strength adds another layer of defensive value, providing flexibility across all three outfield spots. Evaluators are also drawn to his intensity and competitive edge, which show up in all phases of play. While there’s still refinement needed in the hit tool, the trajectory is trending upward. When paired with his game-changing power and athleticism, Bowen offers one of the highest ceilings in the class making him a strong candidate to come off the board in the first round.

36. Jensen Hirsckorn, RHP, Kinsburg
R-R, 6-7/205, Kingsburg, CA
College Commitment: LSU

Jensen Hirschkorn has positioned himself among the most interesting high school pitching prospects in the 2026 class, combining standout physical attributes with stuff that continues to trend upward. At 6-foot-7, he brings a long-levered, projectable build that evaluators covet, but it’s the coordination and body control that truly separate him from typical high school pitchers of similar size. His delivery is easy, fluid and repeatable, allowing him to consistently work around the strike zone with uncommon ease for a young power arm. His low-mid 90s fastball already shows premium characteristics, jumping on hitters with late life and natural plane, and there’s strong belief more velocity is coming as he continues to add strength. His breaking ball stands out as a legitimate weapon, featuring sharp tilt and the ability to miss bats both in and out of the zone. He also shows encouraging feel for a depthy CH, giving him the foundation of a complete starter’s arsenal. What pushes Hirschkorn into first-round consideration is the blend of upside and present feel. There's pitchability, sequencing awareness, and a willingness to attack. With exposure to advanced pitch design and plenty of physical growth remaining, his developmental runway is substantial, making him one of the more enticing high-ceiling arms in the class.

For more on Hirschkorn, read his high school notebook here.

37. Liam Peterson, RHP, Florida
R-R, 6-5/225, Palm Harbor, FL
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Liam Peterson has emerged as one of the most intriguing college arms in this draft class with his frontline starter traits and the type of upside stuff teams covet early in the Draft. A physically imposing right-hander, he already possesses the build and durability associated with a rotation anchor, and he’s handled a prominent role at Florida against high-level competition. His profile is driven by premium velocity and bat-missing ability. The fastball explodes through the zone in the upper-90s and can reach even higher, playing especially well up in the zone thanks to its life and ride. It consistently generates whiffs, giving him a true carry plus pitch. Complementing it is a hard mid 80s SL that shows sharp, late action and projects as a reliable weapon at the next level. What separates Peterson from many power arms is the presence of a full four-pitch mix as he also includes a vertical CB and a developing CH that both flash effectiveness against both righties and lefties. While his strike-throwing can wander at times due to timing and mechanical inconsistencies, the foundation is that of a starter. If his control trends toward average, his combination of size, velocity, and bat-missing secondaries gives him legitimate top-of-the-rotation and easy 1st round potential.

38. Jake Brown, OF, LSU
L-L, 6-2/206, Sulphur, LA
Previously Drafted: 2023/16th Rd. (Rangers)

Jake Brown has steadily built a case as one of the more intriguing bats in the 2026 class, combining polish at the plate with growing impact. A left-handed hitter with strong bat-to-ball skill and a mature offensive approach that allows him to consistently control at-bats. His ability to handle velocity stands out, with quick hands and a compact path that keep him on time against premium arms. What elevates Brown into top-50 consideration is the progression of his power. Added strength and improved launch characteristics have translated into more extra-base damage, giving him legitimate middle-of-the-order upside. He pairs that with disciplined swing decisions, drawing walks at a strong clip while keeping strikeouts in check. Defensively, Brown offers value in a corner outfield role with enough athleticism to handle center field in stretches. His above-average speed and arm strength add another layer of versatility. There’s also residual upside from his pitching background, which speaks to his overall athletic profile. He is currently working back from a hamate bone injury, a setback that can temporarily impact his draft standing, but evaluators remain confident in the long-term outlook. With a well-rounded skill set and upward trajectory, Brown fits comfortably in early-round conversations.

39. Joseph Contreras, RHP, Blessed Trinity Catholic
R-R, 6-4/207, Alpharetta, GA
College Commitment: Vanderbilt

Joseph Contreras has a strong case to be one of the first prep right-handers off the board. The Vanderbilt commit features a physical frame that still has room to add and hints at even more projection down the line. The fastball sits in the mid-90’s and will work up toward 98 mph at times. An upper-80’s slider shows flashes of being a plus offering and is spun well. Contreras also features a forkball that may be one of the best secondary offerings in the class. It features heavy tumbling actions and gets hitters out front consistently. A traditional, fading changeup will also be used. Contreras has big league bloodlines. When combined with the mix of present stuff and projection, that profile is extremely enticing.

For more on Contreras, read the high school notebook here.

40. Bo Lowrance, INF, Christ Church Episcopal
L-R, 6-5/200, Greenville, SC
College Commitment: Virginia

Bo Lowrance has steadily emerged as one of the more intriguing prep bats in the 2026 class, with a blend of size, athleticism, offensive upside, and long-term projection that fits comfortably in a Day 1 draft conversation. At a physically imposing 6-foot-5, he already looks the part of a middle-of-the-order run producer and still has room to add strength as he matures. At the plate, Lowrance shows a polished operation for a hitter his age, pairing rhythm and balance with the ability to generate leverage through the zone. His stroke produces consistent impact and evaluators are drawn to how easily the ball jumps off his bat without excessive effort. There’s a quality track record of performance against quality pitching, suggesting his hit tool is trending in the right direction alongside his power ceiling. Defensively, Lowrance’s future likely settles on the infield corner, where his arm strength and improving actions profile well. Ultimately, it’s the offensive upside that drives his value. With continued physical maturation and refinement, he has the ingredients teams covet in an early-round selection.

41. Tyler Spangler, SS, De La Salle
L-R, 6-3/195, Danville, CA
College Commitment: Stanford

Tyler Spangler offers premium projection in the body and the bat, as he possesses a long and athletic frame that is going to hold good weight as he physically matures. In turn, evaluators are going to like the outlook on his future raw and game power potential to tag along with his more polished and mature ability in the box. He’s got a left-handed swing that is compact and features natural loft. On the dirt, he’s got crisp actions at shortstop that allow for him to handle the spot nicely. It remains to be seen if he grows off the spot and is forced to slide over to the hot corner, but he will stick on the left side of the infield in any scenario. Spangler is a Perfect Game All-American and is committed to Stanford.

42. Kevin Roberts Jr, OF, Jackson Preparatory
R-R, 6-5/221, Meridian, MS
College Commitment: Florida

Kevin Roberts Jr is one of the more tooled up players in the class. The Florida commit is a supreme athlete that has stood out in multiple sports as a prep. On the diamond, he brings massive raw power from the right side of the plate. There are some concerns with the hit tool long term that add risks to the profile. Despite seeing time at shortstop, Roberts profiles better long term in center field, where can let his plus run tool make a bigger impact. The arm strength is not a question and grades out at least as a plus. Roberts will still be 17 years old on draft day and brings enticing upside, but also comes with a decent amount of risk.

43. Cole Prosek, INF, Magnolia Heights
L-R, 6-1/195, Senatobia HS
College Commitment: Ole Miss

Cole Prosek has one the more advanced HS offensive profiles in this prep class, with a track record of consistent production against high level competition. The left-handed hitter shows a mature approach at the plate, pairing strong pitch recognition with the ability to square up a wide variety of offerings. What separates him is the look and feel of the swing itself. It’s a smooth, controlled operation with natural rhythm, featuring a relaxed setup and an easy load that flows seamlessly into launch. The path stays tight and direct, with quick hands and a clean turn through the zone that produces a visually effortless stroke. There’s a natural loft to the finish, and the barrel works with some loose whip into contact, giving the swing both aesthetic appeal and real impact. It’s the type of stroke evaluators are drawn to immediately. There’s legitimate power upside in the profile as well. Prosek already flashes home run ability, and his present strength suggests more damage could come as he continues to mature, giving him middle-of-the-order potential. Defensively, Prosek’s value will likely come from his versatility rather than athleticism. While his mobility may limit him to a corner role, his hands and arm should allow him to develop into a steady INF defender. Ultimately, it’s the bat and pure hit tool that drives his top-50 appeal.

44. Jack Radel, RHP, Notre Dame
R-R, 6-5/250, Sioux Falls, SD
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Jack Radel has been a consistent starter in South Bend for three years now, and he projects to be a mid to back end rotation mainstay at his peak. He’s got a durable 6’5-210 build with repeatable mechanics and a clean arm action that gets on time consistently for strikes. He sports a career 6.8% walk rate at the collegiate level, and has seen the strikeout rate improve to 29.7% this spring, a career high. It’s a mid 90’s fastball from a high slot release and over seven feet of extension, paired with a quality slider and a cutter. There is a curveball in the mix, as well as a changeup too. He doesn’t have flashy “wow” stuff at this juncture, but the starter projection and ability to command the baseball is there for evaluators to see. As he continues to get seasoning and development in pro ball, there could be more swing and miss potential to unlock. Regardless, teams are drafting an ever deepening pitch mix with strike throwing ability and burgeoning stuff.

45. Archer Horn, SS/RHP, St. Ignatius College Prep
L-R, 6-2/200, San Mateo, CA
College Commitment: Stanford

Despite the Stanford commitment, Horn is being strongly considered a top round candidate thanks to the projection on his left-handed stick, strong throwing arm, budding arm strength and power potential. He’s got a long projectable body that evaluators covet, and he has really come into his own in the athleticism department over the last calendar year. Horn creates good angles in his swing, and has been making more and more contact at a healthy clip. There’s a good bit of intrigue on the mound as well, where he has been up to 95-mph and can throw strikes. Most scouts prefer the upside potential with the bat in his hands, however. Horn is presently a shortstop, but he will likely grow off of the position.

46. Jarren Advincula, 2B, Georgia Tech
L-R, 6-2/195, Santa Clara, CA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Jarren Advincula brings a bit of a throwback offensive package to the table, a sort of juxtaposition to the exit velocity and launch angle darlings that are typically talked about on day one of the draft. After two strong years with Cal out west, he transferred to Tech and joined a formidable offense full of protection. Advincula has lived up to the hype, hitting .415 to this point in the season with a miniscule 7.4% strikeout rate. It’s a short, direct left-handed swing with a true ability to spray the baseball to all parts of the field. He possesses elite barrel skills, and his pure hitting IQ and ability is not something that is going to be in question when evaluators discuss the long-term projection of his profile. Despite below average raw power, he taps into more game power than expected thanks to the angles he is able to create in the swing. He is able to get to launch angles still conducive for ball flight and over the fence production at this level. It remains to be seen what this part of his game will look like with wood, however. It should be mentioned that in 205 at-bats on the Cape, he hit .380 with one homerun. His whiff rates are elite, and even though he can be susceptible to some chase, he possesses plus barrel control to make contact outside of the zone. Looking at other parts of his game, he is a solid average runner and provides a quality glove at second base that grades out to average. He figures to remain there for his professional career.

For more on Advincula, read his college report here.

47. James Clark, MIF, St. John Bosco
L-R, 6-1/195, Riverside, CA
College Commitment: Duke

James Clark has emerged as one of the more polished high school bats in the 2026 class, and his ascent into the top tier of the draft conversation can largely be traced to a surge in offensive production late last year. What was once a promising profile quickly turned into a priority follow for evaluators as his performance against high-level competition began to match his underlying tools. Since then, he’s carried that momentum into the high school season, further cementing his status as one of the more reliable hitters in the class. The lefthanded hitter shows a natural rhythm in the box, working with loose hands and a fluid sequence that allows the barrel to enter the zone early and stay through contact. There’s a smooth and visually appealing path in the swing, and his ability to adjust mid-swing stands out against advanced pitching. He consistently creates quality contact with minimal effort hinting at future power growth as he continues to add strength. Clark’s offensive value is elevated by his strike-zone awareness and pitch recognition, which enable him to control at-bats and get into favorable counts. He doesn’t sell out for damage, instead trusting his bat-to-ball skills and letting impact come naturally. Beyond the batter’s box, he brings speed that plays in games and adds pressure on defenses. His quickness gives him versatility defensively, with the tools to handle multiple premium positions depending on long-term development. While his infield actions can be inconsistent at times, the underlying athleticism and coordination suggest there’s still room for refinement. With a well-rounded profile built on his hit tool, athleticism and projection, Clark fits in the mix as a potential top 50 selection.

For more on Clark, read his high school notebook here.

48. Connor Comeau, SS/OF, Anderson
L-R, 6-4/180, Austin, TX
College Commitment: Texas A&M

Connor Comeau is an uber-projectable bat that has a strong track record of performance on the circuit. The Texas A&M commit features an athletic, low-effort left-handed swing with bat speed. Comeau can drive balls to all fields well and consistently produces hard contact. There is plenty of power upside to dream on, as the frame has tons of room to add more strength. Defensively, Comeau is likely to end up in a corner spot, whether that be on the dirt or in the outfielder. No matter the case, the bat is what you are buying and it has a ton of components that should allow him to be successful at the next level.

49. Ben Blair, RHP, Liberty
R-R, 6-3/200, Gretna, VA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Ben Blair excelled as a reliever his freshman year and then was successful in a transition to the rotation as a sophomore. Now in his junior year, the right-hander is in the midst of his best campaign yet. Blair moves with intent on the mound. He possesses an extremely tough slot that hides the ball well into release. The fastball sits mid-90’s and has been up to 98 mph with heavy armside run. A low-80’s sweeper is a legit swing and miss offering. Blair flashes a cutter and changeup as well. Along with the impressive whiff numbers, he throws strikes at an extremely high rate. Continuing to develop a third offering will be key as a starter at the next level, but there are plenty of ingredients to like.

50. Tegan Kuhns, RHP, Tennessee
S-R, 6-3/193, Gettysburg, PA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Tegan Kuhns offers an enticing blend of present stuff, projection and athleticism that aligns with early-round upside. The Tennessee right-hander possesses a loose, efficient delivery and generates easy velocity, operating comfortably in the mid-90s and reaching the upper-90s with life through the zone. His fastball characteristics highlighted by riding action from a difficult angle allow it to miss bats at the top of the strike zone, giving him a strong foundational plus pitch. What separates Kuhns is his ability to manipulate spin. His curveball flashes as a true out pitch with depth and shape that can miss bats and disrupt timing, while his slider and cutter provide additional strong glove-side options. Though his secondary offerings can be inconsistent in terms of command, the raw traits suggest multiple average or better weapons if refined. At 6-foot-3 with room to add strength, Kuhns still has physical projection remaining, which could translate to even more power and durability. If he continues progressing in pitch efficiency, command, and the development of his CH, he has the ceiling of a top-end starter in a big league rotation making him a compelling first-round candidate.

For more on Kuhns, read his college report here.

51. Kaiden McCarthy, RHP, Vermont Academy
R-R, 6-0190, Chester, VT
College Commitment: Tennessee

Kaiden McCarthy is yet another arm that reclassified from the ‘27 group and is yet another arm that brings massive upside. The Tennessee commit from Vermont is a bit undersized at 6-foot-0, but has athleticism and big time arm talent on the bump. The fastball has been clocked at 99 mph and sits in the mid-90’s. A low-80’s curveball has quality bite when spun well and could develop into an above-average pitch. McCarthy will also show an upper-80’s changeup with diving action and flash a slider on occasion. It is supreme stuff when McCarthy is at his best and when you also factor in that he will still be 17 years old on draft day, it is obvious why the profile has quickly climbed the board.

For more on McCarthy, read the high school notebook here.

52. Tyler Head, OF, NC State
L-R, 6-3/205, Winter Garden, FL
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Tyler Head brings a nice offensive package to the table, as he is walking over 2.5 times his strikeouts with good whiff numbers in and out of the zone to pair with solid swing decisions. He doesn’t bring a ton of present raw power to the table, but he is able to maximize his game output with the angles he is able to create in a leveraged left-handed swing. The traditional face value stats aren’t popping off the page this spring, but he brings a solid approach to the plate with present bat to ball skills and a body that projects for a bit more impact. He is athletic and has a chance to stick in centerfield long-term.

53. Chase Brunson, OF, Texas Christian University
R/R, 6-3/200, San Clemente, CA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Chase Brunson offers more of a safer profile for teams to select, as he lacks a true plus tool, but rather brings a nice combination of major league average ones to the table. Coming onto the scene hot as a freshman, Brunson has been a staple in this TCU order going on three years now. He brings a solid overall blend of limiting whiff and chase while impacting the baseball to all fields at a nice clip. The hips get good torque in the swing with natural ability to leverage the barrel head out front to tap into power. He’s currently a centerfielder and will likely get sent out as one in pro ball, but it remains to be seen if he will be able to stick there as he continues to physically mature and age. He possesses good instincts, but lacks the typical foot speed seen in everyday centerfielders. Even so, he will be able to slide to right field with no issue thanks to the arm.

For more on Brunson, read his college report here.

54. Aiden Ruiz, SS, Stony Brook
S-R, 5-10/165, Queens, NY
College Commitment: Vanderbilt

Aiden Ruiz brings a high-floor profile built around athleticism, defensive reliability and impact at a premium position along with just natural feel for the game. His defensive ability is the carrying tool, with advanced coordination, fluid movements, and a natural sense for timing that allows him to consistently finish plays under pressure. He shows the type of skill, polish and consistency evaluators look for in a long-term big league shortstop, giving him a strong foundation as a prospect. Offensively, Ruiz offers a unique blend of barrel control and approach from both sides of the plate. He tracks pitches well, adjusts late, and consistently finds ways to put the ball in play against quality competition. While his physical build doesn’t currently point towards any sort of significant power output, he maximizes his skill set with line-drive contact, situational awareness, and the ability to be a tough out. On the bases, he adds value with instincts and aggressiveness, often pressuring defenses into mistakes. Ruiz’s overall game is rooted in instincts, consistency, and baseball IQ. Even without prototypical size or power, his well-rounded skill set and ability to impact games in multiple ways make him a legitimate T75 prospect.

For more on Ruiz, read his high school notebook here.

55. Joey Volchko, RHP, Georgia
R-R, 6-4/225, Visalia, CA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Joey Volchko is a fascinating profile that contains massive upside, but comes with significant risk. The right-hander features a physical 6-foot-4, 225-pound frame that stands out on the bump. The stuff on paper jumps out. The fastball will creep into the upper-90’s with cutting action. The slider sits in the upper-80’s and shows spin rates nearing 3000 rpm. It has developed more sweeping action this year, making it a more efficient offering. A curveball with more depth is also shown, along with the occasional changeup. While the stuff is impressive, Volchko has long had an issue with throwing strikes consistently. He also has not generated as many strikeouts or whiffs as you would expect with the type of repertoire he has. If he get put in the right developmental setting, Volchko could be a potential steal, but teams will have to weigh the amount of risk that comes with it.

For more on Volchko, read his college report here.

56. Kaden Waechter, RHP, Tampa Jesuit
R-R,6-3/185, St. Petersburg, FL
College Commitment: Florida State

Kaden Waechter features a lanky, lean frame that moves athletically on the mound. The fastball works up to 95 mph with high spin rates. An upper-80’s slider with short, biting action rounds out a solid repertoire. It can be spun upwards of 2700 rpm. A mid-80’s changeup shows quality fading action with the ability to get whiffs, rounding out a solid repertoire. The pitch mix is thrown for strikes at a high clip. It should only continue to grow in power as the frame fills out.

For more on Waechter, read his high school notebook here.

57. Noah Wilson, OF, McCallie School
L-R, 6-2/195, Ooltewah, TN
College Commitment: Vanderbilt

Noah Wilson features a 6-foot-2, 195-pound frame with a blend of athleticism, speed, and offensive upside. There is rhythm to the left-handed swing with quick bat speed on a compact path. He shows sound bat-to-ball skills with the ability to spray balls to all fields. There is some power to the current profile that will only continue to develop. Plus speed rounds out an exciting skill set and gives Wilson a chance to stick in center field at the next level.

58. Carson Tinney, C, Texas
R-R, 6-3/240, Castle Pines, CO
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Carson Tinney put up strong numbers as a sophomore at Notre Dame, before transferring to Texas this spring and becoming a mainstay in the middle of the Longhorn lineup. The backstop features a physical build with plenty of strength throughout. Tinney can produce massive exit velocity numbers with advanced in-game power that plays mostly middle-to-pullside. There are some swing and miss concerns to the profile. Despite a larger build, Tinney has a chance to stick behind the plate long term. The catch-and-throw ability stands out and he moves well for his size.

For more on Tinney, read his college report here.

59. Will Gasparino, CF, UCLA
R-R, 6-6/220, Los Angeles, CA
Previously Drafted: Not Drafted

Will Gasparino with his performance this spring has rapidly emerged as one of the more intriguing upside bets in the draft class, blending rare projection/physicality with impact tools at a premium position. The 6-foot-6 outfielder offers elite strength and leverage in his swing, producing loud contact that projects comfortably to plus game power at the next level. What’s elevated his profile this spring is the noticeable refinement in his offensive operation where his swing now works with improved balance and sequencing, allowing him to get to pitches more consistently and do damage across different pitch types. Beyond the bat, Gasparino brings real defensive value. He covers significant ground in center field with long strides and athleticism, and his arm strength fits easily in any outfield spot. There’s still some risk tied to his approach against higher level pitching, but the combination of tools, recent adjustments, and strong performance points to a player trending toward becoming an impact big league prospect.

60. Blake Bryant, RHP, Citizens Christian Academy
R/R, 6-5/180, Douglas, GA
College Commitment: Clemson

Blake Bryant offers premium physical projection at a wiry 6-5/180. He’s a smooth mover down the slope with strike throwing ability, and should grow into at least major league average command at his peak. He gets the fastball into the mid 90’s, and has a deeper pitch arsenal that features a curveball, slider and a change-up. He’s got the capacity to spin the baseball and has steadily improved in that department over time. His slider leads the secondary arsenal, showing sharp tilt to it at its best. The arm works, the delivery is balanced and repeatable, and there is plenty more to tap into. Tons of clay here.

61. Wes Mendes, LHP, Florida State
L-L, 6-1/195, Tampa, FL
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Wes Mendes has been a rock solid starter all spring for FSU, seeing career highs in walk rate (7.7%) and strikeout rate (34.8%) while starting ten games. He’s got a carry fastball that plays to the top rail, and can spin a quality slider with good tilt. There’s a good change-up in the mix, and he possesses a depthy curveball as well. He’s a strike throwing southpaw with a full arsenal to combat hitters with, and he’s throwing more strikes than ever before to this point in his career. Fastball shapes are hard to teach, and he already possesses that. A future potential jump in velocity will help his slider play even better than it is right now.

62. Cole Koeninger, SS/RHP, Keller
R-R, 6-3/210, Keller, TX
College Commitment: Tennessee

Cole Koeninger is a true two-way prospect at this stage, as he is a strong armed right-handed pitcher with some feel to pitch and real juice and an approach in the box. He can run his fastball into the upper 90’s, and will pitch low to mid 9’s with some good quality to the heater. There is the capacity to spin two high spin breaking balls, as his slider and curveball are both weapons at this stage with sharp break and put-away potential. In the box, it’s an explosive right-handed swing aided by true bat speed and impact out front. He will man a corner on the defensive end down the line, but his arm and current hands should allow him to stick around at third. It’s a really interesting tool set on the mound and in the box for a professional development staff to mold.

63. Brady Harris, OF/INF, Trinity Christian Academy
R-R, 6-2/185, St. Augustine, FL
College Commitment: Florida

Brady Harris brings intrigue as an upside prep outfielder with a projectable frame and impact tools that fit a high level draft profile. He combines advanced quickness with fluid movements in the OF grass, showing efficient reads, strong closing ability and a plus arm that plays in-game. Offensively, his right-handed swing produces real bat speed and some natural loft, allowing him to impact the baseball to all fields with emerging strength/power. The offensive consistency remains the key developmental point, as timing issues and an aggressive stride can lead to mistimed contact and difficulty handling spin. Even so, the underlying hand speed and lower-body strength suggest significant offensive growth once his approach stabilizes. Harris also brings athletic versatility, capable of handling CF responsibilities while offering fallback value in a corner if needed. With continued refinement, he profiles as a potential middle-order run producer and a possible high-end early-round selection.

64. Ruger Riojas, RHP, Texas
R-R, 6-0/195, Spring Branch, TX
Previously Drafted: Not Drafted

Ruger Riojas has emerged as one of the more polished and dynamic college arms in the country, blending strong on-field performance with a deep and versatile arsenal that translates well to the professional level. The right-hander is anchored by a mid-to-upper 90s fastball that plays above its velocity thanks to its life/carry through the zone and his ability to command it effectively. He can manipulate the pitch’s angle at times as well, adding a layer of deception that keeps hitters from getting comfortable. What truly elevates Riojas is his strong secondary mix. His splitter has become a legitimate swing-and-miss weapon, showing late tumble and separation off the heater while still being thrown for strikes. A firm upper-80s cutter gives him a reliable option to miss barrels as well, particularly against right-handed hitters. He also mixes in both a tighter slider and a bigger more vertical curveball, each offering a different look, along with a low-80s changeup to round out the repertoire. With an athletic, repeatable delivery, advanced strike-throwing ability, and legit pitchability, Riojas offers both present polish and upside, firmly placing him among the more intriguing Day 1 draft arms.

For more on Riojas, read his college report here.

65. Hunter Dietz, LHP, Arkansas
L-L, 6-6/235, Trinity, FL
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Hunter Dietz was a highly touted prep before making it to campus, but injuries limited him to just 1 2/3 innings over his first two collegiate seasons. Now back healthy, Dietz has taken control of a rotation spot and been very successful. The left-hander features an imposing 6-foot-6 frame and throws from a very difficult overhead slot. The heater works into the upper-90’s with big carry through the zone. Dietz can spin the curveball over 2900 rpm. He also possesses a tight upper-80’s cutter that stays off barrels. When healthy, Dietz has all the traits needed to be a successful starter at the next level, but there is obviously some risk to the profile due to the limited track record.

66. Myles Bailey, 1B, Florida State
L-R, 6-4/225, Tallahassee, FL
Previously Drafted: 2024/20th Rd. (White Sox)

Myles Bailey fits the mold of an elite middle-of-the-order force whose offensive upside alone makes him a compelling early-round target. The Florida State slugger generates outlier bat speed and produces some of the loudest contact in amateur baseball, with the strength to leave any part of the yard. His ability to impact the baseball doesn’t require perfect timing, giving him rare damage potential even when he’s not fully squared up. There are some concerns with swing and zone control but evaluators are encouraged by his underlying approach and willingness to walk. With incremental refinements to his pitch recognition and swing decisions, there’s a path to unlocking even more in-game production. Bailey’s recent broken ankle introduces some short-term uncertainty, but it doesn’t diminish the long-term outlook. Given the carrying tool is his power bat, the profile remains highly attractive. If he returns healthy, he still projects as an easy impact run producer at the next level.

67. Beau Peterson, 3B, Mill Valley
L-R, 6-3/210, Shawnee, KS
College Commitment: Texas

Beau Peterson has a track record at the highest levels on the circuit of being a hitter with present impact in the stick and more to come. There’s a bit of polish with the bat in his hands, and he projects for more power as he continues to fill in and mature. Peterson makes plenty of contact in the zone with a smooth, compact swing that features leverage. On the defensive end of things, he’s got good hands at the hot corner and the glove actions to stick long-term.

For more on Peterson, read his high school notebook here.

68. Sean Dunlap, C, Crown Point
R-R, 6-3/205, Crown Point, IN
College Commitment: Vanderbilt

Sean Dunlap is a physical catcher that also possesses strong athleticism. The 6-foot-3, 205-pound frame features plenty of strength throughout. When combined with advanced bat speed, Dunlap can produce plus raw power that translate fairly well in-game when on time. There is some swing and miss concerns, but the power upside gives Dunlap middle of the order traits if it all clicks. Despite the bigger frame, Dunlap moves well behind the plate with an above-average arm. He has a strong chance to stick there long term.

69. Daniel Jackson, C, University of Georgia
R-R, 6-2/200, Sandy Springs, GA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Daniel Jackson has shot up boards over the last calendar year, due in part to his attractive athletic toolset and ability to impact the baseball in game showing up more often. A solid average runner, Jackson is a bit of an outlier type of mover and athlete behind the dish. He’s got a plus arm to go along with it. A developing receiver, he has shown the ability to steal strikes at the bottom of the zone over the course of the spring. There’s still some refining to do with the pocket moving east and west, as he is susceptible to some clanks, but bullish clubs are going to bank on the aptitude of the athlete. Even if Jackson ultimately cannot stay behind the plate, he profiles nicely to right field thanks to the aforementioned arm and ability to move. With the bat, Jackson is realizing more power in game than ever before while improving the overall contact rates and trimming the K%. He’s got comfortably plus bat speed with a compact swing path, generating torque and acceleration nicely thanks to the pure strength he possesses in the lower half and his ability to use the ground. With 20 homeruns on the season so far and a 1.103 OPS in SEC play to this point, everything about the offensive profile is greatly improved. There are still some overall whiff concerns to deal with, but they have improved from last spring in conjunction with the impact output. There is some variability here in the profile, but it’s easy to like the athletic power hitting backstop that can move to a valued corner spot if needed. Jackson has positioned himself well coming into this summer’s draft.

70. Bo Holloway, LHP, Nolensville
L-L, 6-5/215, Nolensville, TN
College Commitment: Vanderbilt

Bo Holloway has become one of the more buzzworthy high school arms this spring driven by a powerful mix of size, athleticism, and recent stuff/mechanical improvements. The Tennessee native features a highly projectable 6-foot-5 frame with long levers and present strength giving evaluators confidence in both durability and future gains. His delivery has become cleaner and more repeatable over the past year, leading to improved velocity consistency and stronger overall outings. Holloway’s fastball now works comfortably in the mid-90s and has reached as high as 98 mph, showing lively action and tough angles that make it difficult for hitters to square up. Beyond the heater, there are encouraging signs with his offspeed offerings, particularly a fading changeup that shows strong separation from the heater and deception as well as a shorter and tight mid 80s slider he has shown feel to land. While overall pitchability is still maturing, his athleticism and recent developmental strides suggest more growth is coming. Committed to Vanderbilt, he carries signability questions, but the combination of upside, left-handed power stuff, and a present upward trajectory makes him a strong early Day 1 candidate.

71. Andrew Williamson, OF, UCF
L-L, 6-0/195, Pinellas Park, FL
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Andrew Williamson has been a consistent performer throughout his collegiate career, included during summer wood bat action. Williamson features a slightly unorthodox swing from the left side of the plate, showing a big barrel hitch pre-pitch. Loose hands create a whippy barrel with bat speed present. Despite being undersized, Williamson has shown the ability to drive the ball with authority and leave the yard. Defensively, Williamson profiles well in right field with an above-average arm.

72. Alex Weingartner, OF/RHP, St. Augustine Preparatory
R-R, 6-2/200, Berlin, NJ
College Commitment: Penn State

Alex Weingartner is a big projection pick here, as he possesses the athletic tools and upside draft rooms are going to covet in this range. He’s easily a plus or better runner with plus arm strength from the outfield grass. Given his athleticism and arm strength, both centerfield and right field are viable options for him on the grass. The bat speed is plus to go along with that. It’s a simple operation and he taps into his impact with ease while effortlessly accelerating the barrel head from a simple move. On the mound, he’s been up to 95-mph this spring with a full array of offerings to dispatch hitters with (CB, SL, CH). It is a loud set of tools to project upon here. The pure hit tool is going to have to be developed on a slow track, but if he’s able to realize even a 40 on the bat, this is an everyday big leaguer.

For more on Weingartner, read his high school notebook here.

73. Roman Martin, INF, UCLA
R-R, 6-2/208, Whittier, CA
Previously Drafted: Not Drafted

Roman Martin has steadily built the profile of a polished high-floor infield prospect with plenty of traits that should translate well at the next level. A physically mature right-handed hitter, he combines quality bat speed within a compact path that allows him to consistently square up velocity and drive the baseball with authority to all parts of the field. His offensive value is amplified by strong strike-zone awareness, showing a willingness to work deep counts and reach base at a high clip without sacrificing impact. While there’s still some development needed against quality spin, the overall offensive foundation is strong and points toward a reliable middle-of-the-order contributor. Defensively, Martin currently anchors third base with confidence, displaying clean defensive actions, lateral quickness, and a plus arm capable of making difficult throws from multiple angles. Given his background and athleticism, there’s legitimate belief he could handle shortstop in pro ball, adding valuable versatility. That blend of offensive consistency and defensive upside makes him an appealing early-round talent.

74. Ethan Kleinschmit, LHP, Oregon State
L-L/ 6-3/206, Mount Angel, OR
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Ethan Kleinschmit has had plenty of success in the Beaver rotation since transferring from Linn-Benton JC before his sophomore campaign. The left-hander features deceptive delivery that allows him to miss bats at a decent clip. The fastball sits in the low-90’s, working up to 95 mph, but quality carry allows it to play higher than it is. The offering gets whiffs at a high rate. An upper-70’s slider has quality shape and spin rates over 2800 rpm. It is an above-average offering that pairs well with the heater. Kleinschmit rounds out the arsenal with a quality kick change that is effective against right-handed hitters. The performance has been solid and it seems as if Kleinschmit is just scratching the surface of his potential. With a few added ticks of velocity, the pitch mix could really take off.

For more on Kleinschmit, read his college report here.

75. Landon Thome, SS, Nazareth Academy
L-R, 6-0/185, Burr Ridge, IL
College Commitment: Florida State

Landon Thome offers a nice hit tool to project on combined with big league bloodlines. He doesn’t have the same type of hulking power as his father, rather offering a different style of play. He’s currently hit-over-power, featuring a clean left-handed swing that looks to push liners from line to line. Thome will grow into his raw and game power over time, which should end up being around big league average. He will likely shift over to second base and settle there at the professional level.

76. Keon Johnson, SS, First Presbyterian Day
R-R, 6-2/200, Macon GA
College Commitment: Vanderbilt

Keon Johnson offers a safer “floor” profile, lacking a true plus tool on the card at this juncture but rather a bevy of average tools that hold up the profile right now. He makes tons of contact in the zone and limits his chase, leading to an all-fields type of stroke and spray chart that should allow him to hit at a nice clip moving forward. The power is more fringe at this stage and he doesn’t get it in the air to pull-side all that often right now. There is more to unlock here, but it will take some time. On the dirt, he’s got a good internal clock with a good arm and hands out front. He may ultimately get pushed over to third once the body fills, but he’s stuck at short longer than some have previously thought to this point.

77. Landon Brown, RHP, Iowa Colony
S-R, 6-3/205, Rosharon, TX
College Commitment: Mississippi State

Landon Brown has been one of the bigger prep risers this spring. The Texas right-hander features a strong, physical build that can produce easy velocity. The fastball has been clocked in the triple digits this spring and sitting 94-97 mph deep into games. It features heavy armside run. Brown will mix in both a low-80’s slider and an upper-80’s cutter that can be extremely tough to barrel. A low-80’s changeup rounds out the mix and is effective against left-handers. The strikes and stuff have been better this spring, allowing for the quick acceleration up the board.

78. Evan Dempsey, RHP/OF, FGCU
L-R, 6-2/205, Tampa, FL
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Evan Dempsey has been cruising right along with FGCU this spring, pitching to a 26.7% K-BB% with a 33.1% strikeout rate. He possesses an elite capacity to spin the baseball, ripping off a two plane slider with near 3000 RPM of spin to go along with it. The fastball gets into the mid 90’s from a low launch (-4.2 VAA), working to the top rail with quality. While his future in pro ball likely ends up on the mound, he’s been a producer with the bat in his career as well. To this point in the season, he’s got a 1.060 OPS with six pumps.

79. Elliot Lascelles, SS, Upper Canada College
L-R, 6-2/187, Toronto, ON
College Commitment; Yale

Elliot Lascelles has separated himself as the top prep bat north of the border. A left-handed hitter, Lascelles showcases a simple operation that stays balanced throughout. He picks up spin well out of the hand and has feel for the zone. Lascelles consistently puts together mature at-bats. An accurate barrel allows him to spray line drives around the yard. The bat hit-over-power, but balls in the gap should still result in frequent extra-base hits. Defensively, Lascelles is an advanced athlete that should stick at shortstop long term. He catches it consistently and has solid range in all directions. Overall, it is a well-rounded profile with a high floor and moderately low risk.

80. Gabe Gaeckle, RHP, Arkansas
R-R, 6-0/190, Aptos, CA
Previously Drafted: 2023/20th Rd. (Reds)

Gabe Gaeckle possesses some of the best overall stuff in the class when he is at his best. The right-hander sits in the mid-90’s with big time ride to the heater. A low release height makes it even tougher at the top of the zone. He spins the baseball extremely well, showing three different breaking balls. A sharp upper-80’s slider can miss bats at a high rate. The curveball has more downer action and depth. He will also mix in a sweeper. Gaeckle also will use a quality changeup as well. The pitch mix is deep and can miss bats in a variety of ways. Gaeckle has not had as much success as a starter as you would hope, but he has shown glimpses with a K/9 over 11 for his career. Being undersized and a track record of inconsistent strike throwing does give the profile risk, the upside will surely draw interest early day one.

81. Cooper Sides, RHP, Orange Lutheran
R-R, 6-6/225, Orange, CA
College Commitment: LSU

Sides has been one of the top prep arms for a while and it's thanks to a strong blend of size, athleticism, arm talent and ever improving stuff that just continues to trend upward. The right-hander generates mid-90s velocity with the ability to reach higher at times and it really jumps on hitters with late life through the zone. His operation creates tough angles, and when he’s synced up, the fastball shows the traits of swing/miss offering. What separates Sides from many other HS pitching prospects is the feel and strong shapes on his secondary offerings. He shows confidence mixing at a high rate where he includes two sharp breaking balls that flash swing-and-miss potential and a firm changeup that projects as a legitimate weapon against both handed hitters. There’s still refinement needed with strike throwing and overall consistency, but the ingredients are clearly there. Given his physical upside, arm speed, and starter profile, Sides fits the mold of a Day 1 arm with the potential to make significant jumps in a pro development system.

For more on Sides, read his high school notebook here.

82. Jack Natili, C, Cincinnati
R-R,6-3/198, Venetia, PA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Jack Natili has slid under the radar at times, due to the strong college catching class at the top of the board. The Cincinnati backstop is in the midst of his best season yet. He features advanced power that plays to all fields. Natili has produced strong exit velocity numbers and shows sound swing decisions. It is a hit-over-power profile with some swing and miss concerns. Natili features plus arm strength behind the dish and continues to make strides with his overall actions.

83. Daniel Cuvet, CIF, Miami
R-R, 6-3/240, Fort Lauderdale, FL
Previously Drafted: 2023/17th Rd. (Pirates)

Daniel Cuvet has been one of the premier college bats over the last three seasons. The Miami slugger possesses immense strength through a physical 6-foot-3, 240-pound frame. Cuvet can generate 70-grade raw power that could translate into plus in-game juice at the next level. He leverages the barrel well and can cover a good part of the plate, thanks to his long lever. The hit tool does have some concerns, as Cuvet shows an aggressive approach and will chase at times. Defensively, the arm profiles well for third base but he will need to clean up the actions if he wants to stick there long term.

84. Braden Holcomb, OF/3B, Vanderbilt
R-R, 6-5/245, Ocoee, FL
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Braden Holcomb is an imposing figure on the diamond, standing at 6-foot-5, 245-pounds. He uses his physicality to generate massive raw power and plus in-game juice. The right-handed hitting slugger taps into it fairly easily, using a simple operation in the box. Holcomb can generate plus exit velocities on a regular basis. There are some swing and miss tendencies that do hinder the overall hit tool. Holcomb profiles for a corner spot at the next level, whether that is on the dirt or in the outfielder, but does moves fairly well for his size.

For more on Holcomb, read his college report here.

85. Malachi Washington, OF, Parkview
R-R, 6-1/195, Stone Mountain, GA
College Commitment: LSU

Malachi Washington offers a unique blend of explosiveness and upside that evaluators covet in a premium outfield prospect. He impacts the game in multiple phases, bringing dynamic athleticism that translates to both sides of the ball. His ability to cover ground in the outfield stands out immediately, pairing long strides with instinctive reads that allow him to close on balls with ease. There’s easy confidence he can handle a premium defensive assignment at the next level. At the plate, Washington shows the ingredients teams look for in a high-ceiling bat. His twitchy hands and present strength allow him to generate loud contact, and there’s been evidence of over-the-fence juice against quality competition. While there are areas for refinement in pitch recognition and the overall swing, the foundation is in place for offensive growth. Add in his physical projection, competitive makeup, and track record of performance, and Washington fits the mold of a Day-1selection with significant long-term upside.

86. Ethan Norby, LHP, Eastern Carolina
L-L, 5-10/195, Kernersville, NC
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Ethan Norby possesses the capacity to spin a plus slider with elite spin rates nearing the 3000 mark. He’s a pitchability left-handed arm that will get into the low 90’s, controlling the zone and working off the slider. He’s a proven starter, having now three years of experience under his belt with a career 3.89 ERA over 201 innings and 34 starts. Norby doesn’t offer a ton of physical projection moving forward. The attraction here is pitchability, strikes and the capacity to spin the baseball.

87. Caden Bogenpohl, OF, Missouri State
L-R, 6-6/245, Jackson, MO
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Caden Bogenpohl is an imposing figure with tools on both sides of the ball. A 6-foot-6, 245-pound frame can generate massive raw power from the left side of the dish. There are legit swing and miss concerns to the profile and the batted angles will need to improve in order for that raw power to translate to more in-game juice. Bogenpohl has shown the ability to draw walks at a high clip, giving him solid value even if the hit tool lacks. Defensively, Bogenpohl moves surprisingly well for his size with a solid overall run tool. While he is unlikely to stick in center field at the next level, he has shown quality range in the spot this spring. While there will be the need for significant development, Bogenpohl’s toolset may become hard to pass on as teams get further down the board.

88. Zion Rose, OF/C, Louisville
R-R, 6-1/200, Chicago, IL
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Zion Rose has moved off the catcher position and into a corner outfield spot, where he’s settled in nicely with quality arm strength and a plus run tool on his card. The whiff numbers have mostly been kept in check, with a bit of regression this spring but it hasn’t hampered his overall production. He possesses good barrel control and can get to any part of the zone. It’s mostly fringe pop at this stage, but he should continue to grow into more physicality and impact over the coming years.

89. Grayson Willoughby, RHP, Trinity
L-R, 6-2/185, Louisville, KY
College Commitment: Kentucky

Grayson Willoughby possesses a nice mix of present stuff and projection remaining. The right-hander features a long, lean frame that has plenty of room to continue to fill out. The fastball has been up 97 mph, sitting in the mid-90’s comfortably. The slider is the more advanced secondary offering at the moment. It has quality shape when thrown well and can miss bats. A fading low-80’s changeup rounds out the mix. Willoughby throws strikes and has strong starter traits with obvious upside.

For more on Willoughby, read his high school notebook here.

90. Brendan Brock, C/OF, Oklahoma
R-R, 6-3/200, Bellevilla, IL
Previously Drafted: 2025/14th Rd. (Brewers)

Brendan Brock was selected by the Brewers last year out of Southwestern Illinois College, but opted to transfer to Oklahoma instead. Brock does not possess the typical profile you see for a catcher. He is a 70-grade runner, which is what allows him to handle himself in the outfield as well. He also has plus arm strength that can play at either spot. It is undetermined where he winds up defensively long term. Offensively, it is a short, quick swing with bat speed through the zone. He can impact the baseball to the big part of the yard. Brock showcases plus power with the ability to produce loud exit velocities.

For more on Brock, read his college report here.

91. Jon Mora, OF, Somerset Academy
L-R, 5-10/170, Tamarac, FL
College Commitment: Miami

Jon Mora is a quick twitch up the middle defender with all the twitch and bounce you can ask for. He’s got a well proportioned frame that will hold muscle and strength well down the line without sacrificing a step, too. Mora has plus bat speed from a wide base and compact bat path, accelerating the head quickly to get on plane and spray liners all over the yard. There’s a lot of bat to ball to fall in love with here. Power won’t be a mainstay of the profile, but you’re getting a bouncy athlete that swings a fast bat from the left side with lots of projection.

92. Mulivai Levu, 1B, UCLA
L-R, 6-1/205, Huntington Beach, CA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Mulivai Levu is a strong-bodied left-handed stick that is going to play first at the next level. He possesses good bat to ball skills with a good blend of impact to match. Levu has been a steady producer for the Bruins over parts of three years now, and his counting stats and approach in the box have only continued to improve with them. He’s hard to beat in the zone and has the juice to punish mistakes.

93. Savion Sims, RHP, Prestonwood Christian Academy
R-R, 6-8/205, Carrollton, TX
College Commitment: Oklahoma

Savion Sims is one of the bigger upside prep arms in the class. The right-hander stands at a towering 6-foot-8 and has plenty of room to add to the frame. The fastball can be overwhelming at times. It sits in the mid-90’s and has been clocked in the triple digits. Tons of extension and high spin makes the pitch explode out of the hand. A mid-80’s gyro slider can get whiffs often in the zone. Sims will also mix in a changeup with heavy tumble. Strikes have been inconsistent at times and will ultimately determine the ceiling of Sims long term.

For more on Sims, read his high school notebook here.

94. Carson Kerce, SS, Georgia Tech
R-R, 5-11/200, Marietta, GA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Carson Kerce has been a big riser this spring, as one of the top hitters in a loaded Georgia Tech lineup. Offensively, Kerce shows an athletic swing with rhythm to the hands. There is quick bat speed present on a compact path that delivers an accurate barrel. Kerce features above-average bat to ball skills and can beat up gaps at a high rate. The power continues to develop, as Kerce has posted strong exit velocity numbers this spring. Defensively, Kerce uses his athleticism well on the dirt with quickness to the feet. There is a strong chance he sticks at shortstop long term.

For more on Kerce, read his college report here.

95. Nathan Taylor, RHP, Cincinnati
L-R, 6-5, 230, Amelia, OH
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Nathan Taylor is a physical right-hander that has held a starting role for Cincinnati since his freshman season. The fastball sits 91-94 mph with some ride at the top of the zone. A mid-80’s slider is his best offering. The pitch shows short action and generates a good amount of whiffs. Taylor will mix in a firmer changeup, but primarily uses the fastball/slider combination. The strikeouts have gone up this year and the walks have decreased as well. Taylor has proven he can be durable and fill innings year over year.

96. Jake Schaffner, SS, North Carolina
L-R, 6-2/175, Janesville, WI
Previously Drafted: Not Drafted

Jake Schaffner transferred to UNC after two solid seasons at North Dakota State and has become one of the more impactful transfers this spring. The glove is what carries the profile here. Schaffner shows smooth, athletic actions on the dirt and can consistently catch the baseball. He should stick at the spot long term and provide value there. Offensively, the bat profiles well near the top of the order. It is a super simple left-handed swing that uses a direct path to contact. The bat-to-ball skills and barrel accuracy stand out, as Schaffner rarely whiffs. It is a definite hit-over-power profile, but Schaffner can beat up the gaps to collect extra bases.

For more on Schaffner, read his college report here.

97. Chase Kiker, RHP, Metrolina Christian Academy
R-R, 6-1/195, Indian Trail, NC
College Commitment: Clemson

Chase Kiker has a long track record of performing, but has taken developmental leaps this spring. The right-hander has been clocked in the triple digits and shows high-end spin rates. The breaking ball sits in the low-80’s with sweeping action when it is at its best. It can be spun over 2600 rpm at times. Consistency with the offering is still being developed. Kiker can kill spin well on the changeup and create tumbling action. The profile does carry significant reliever risk, but the pure spin and velocity on the fastball give Kiker solid upside.

For more on Kiker, read his high school notebook here.

98. Trey Ebel, SS, Corona HS
R-R, 6-0/180, Rancho Cucamonga, CA
College Commitment: Texas A&M

Trey Ebel is one of the more polished prep infielders in the 2026 class, and his youth stands out being just 17.9 on draft day. Offensively, he ranks among the better bat-to-ball hitters in the prep group, routinely finding the barrel with minimal swing-and-miss thanks to an advanced approach and feel for the barrel. He creates steady line drives with growing impact that has shown in flashes this spring and should continue to develop as his frame matures. Defensively, Ebel is equally dependable. He shows smooth, quiet actions at shortstop with soft hands, clean exchanges, and an advanced internal clock that keeps him under control in traffic. His footwork is efficient and his reads are consistent, allowing him to stay in rhythm on a high volume of plays. The arm is accurate with enough strength to handle the left side, while his skill set also translates well to second base long-term. This should be a profile that sees itself go on Day 1 and possibly within the T100 selections.

99. Luke Williams, SS, Franklin Regional
R-R, 6-0/180, Murrysville, PA
College Commitment: Vanderbilt

Luke Williams is an uber projectable athlete with plenty of tools to like and dream on as he matures physically. He’s got plenty of bat speed in the right-handed swing, and although there are some moving parts to the equation, swings shorten over time and he has the prerequisite twitch and hand speed that scouts are looking for in the box. Grades for the hit tool will be divisive, but he’s got plenty of power projection to his profile as well. In the field, there are numerous avenues he could go down and it remains to be seen where exactly he will land. Enticing upside here.

For more on Williams, read his high school notebook here.

100. Kyle, Jones, OF, Florida
R-R, 6-3/190, Bogart, GA
Previously Drafted: Never Drafted

Kyle Jones is a lanky, athletic outfielder with intriguing offensive upside. The right-handed hitting Jones utilizes a simple operation in the box that leads to advanced bat-to-ball skills. A short, compact path leverages the barrel well with bat speed present. There is some power upside as the frame fills out further. A plus run tool rounds out a sound offensive skill set and also allows Jones to roam center field with ease. The profile has obvious upside with some impact on both sides of the ball.

DII/DIII/NAIA Rankings Update: April 29

Nick Herfordt

Across all three divisions of college baseball, the teams making the most noise heading into the postseason share a common trait — they score runs, and they score them relentlessly. Along with the updated rankings, this week we take a look at the top run-producing programs in DII, DIII and NAIA baseball, spotlighting a trio of teams from each division whose offenses have separated themselves from the field. The numbers tell a compelling story. Whether it's the defending NAIA champion LSU Shreveport Pilots reloading with a new roster yet still posting 10+ runs per game, the Pittsburg State Gorillas hanging blowout after blowout on opponents, or the Lynchburg Hornets making a case as the most complete team in Division III baseball, the formula is largely the same — deep lineups, disciplined at-bats, and the ability to keep pressure on a pitching staff from the first pitch to...

Coppy's Corner: April 30 POY Deep Dive

John Coppolella

Each week I huddle with Vinnie Cervino and Craig Cozart to discuss Top-25 rankings and Players of the Week. In Coppy’s Corner, I dive deeper into these Players of the Week, providing analysis from 20+ years working in baseball front offices at the highest level. Player of the Week: Jarren Advincula – Georgia Tech Last week, Fernando Mendoza was taken with the first pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Mendoza transferred from the University of California – Berkeley (Cal) to Indiana University in advance of his draft year. Upon transferring, he won the Heisman Trophy and led the Hoosiers to a national championship. Advincula also transferred from Cal in advance of his draft year, but he took his talents to Georgia Tech. And, while there is still time left in the season, Advincula has positioned himself to be in the conversation for College Baseball’s...

College Players of the Week: April 28

Craig Cozart

April 28th Perfect Game/Player of the Week: Jarren Advincula, IF, Georgia Tech It is well documented how good the Georgia Tech offense was in 2025, so when the Yellow Jackets added Jarren Advincula from the transfer portal in the off-season, the expectations went through the roof for ’26. Somehow, the team and Advincula have not only met but exceeded those expectations in virtually every way. Advincula, the 6-2/195 infielder from Santa Clara, CA, has been a fixture in the middle infield and is an elite defender with the leather. He shows natural instincts for the game and as the season has progressed, he has found himself inserted into the 3-hole in their powerful lineup. Hitting from the left-side of the plate, Advincula put together an impressive week as Tech took down Georgia in the mid-week and swept Wake Forest on the weekend. He was...

College Top 25: April 27

Vincent Cervino

It was another weekend of upsets, upheaval and consequential series victories across the nation. After the dust settled, the UCLA Bruins (39-4) remain the No. 1 team in the nation after their (3-1) week stepping outside Big Ten play, taking a series against Sacramento State. Their perfect (21-0) start in conference play is still intact with three weekend series to go. UNC (36-8) sticks at No. 2 this week after they went across town to take on archrival Duke, winning that series and finishing the week with a (3-1) record. The No. 3 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (36-7) showed their moxie by coming back from large deficits multiple times and swept conference foe Wake Forest, extending their lead in the ACC standings to 2-games. The Texas Longhorns (32-9) are No. 4 in the poll this week after winning a tightly contested series on the road against Vanderbilt. ...
