1. Chicago White Sox: Roch Cholowsky, SS, UCLA 
Chowlowsky has been the player at the top of the board all cycle long and looks like he will stay there wire to wire. The UCLA shortstop is in the midst of yet another strong season, posting an OPS near 1.200 with 18 homers and a near 1:1 K:BB ratio. While there is a chance the White Sox try to cut a deal here come draft day to save toward their bonus pool, there is no strong indication that is the case yet and thus Cholowsky remains the selection. 
 
2. Tampa Bay Rays: Grady Emerson, SS, Fort Worth Christian (TX)
We matched Emerson to the Rays in our previous mock, and the fit still holds. We view him as having one of the elite offensive skill sets in the class boasting one of the more advanced prep hit tools in recent memory. He pairs that offensive polish with athleticism, projectable power, and the defensive chops to stick at shortstop long term. It’s a well-rounded, high-confidence profile that makes him a strong candidate at No. 2. 




3. Minnesota Twins: Vahn Lackey, C, Georgia Tech 
Lackey has firmly cemented himself into top five discussions, and really could go even higher than this come draft day. His production to this point in the spring to tag along with his projection behind the plate have vaulted him up the board. He’s an outlier athlete for a primary backstop with plus arm strength, and the hit tool has continued to produce while the power has come on strong. A late bloomer out of highschool, there is more physical projection in there too.
 
4. San Francisco Giants: Jackson Flora, RHP, UC Santa Barbara 
A NorCal native, Flora goes to his hometown Giants here at No. 4. The year began with a trio of college pitchers fighting for SP1 position and Flora has separated himself up until this point. The right-hander features eye popping stuff already with a triple digit heater and multiple secondary pitches that can miss bats to go with a frame that still projects.
 
5. Pittsburgh Pirates: AJ Gracia, OF, Virginia 
 While Pittsburgh has leaned into high-upside prep talent in recent years, this spot lines up well for a polished college performer. Gracia brings a strong blend of contact ability, strike-zone discipline, and above-average power, giving him a high floor with impact upside. With a young core already emerging at the big league level, particularly on the pitching side, he fits as a potential quick-moving bat who could complement that group. 

6. Kansas City Royals: Eric Booth Jr., OF, Oak Grove (MS)
 Booth is a plus athlete with projection to stick in centerfield for the long haul. There were some concerns regarding his overall swing mechanics prior to the spring, but there’s been some tinkering done in that department and all he has done is produce. The hitting ability has been there, but the power is starting to creep into the picture now as well.  
 
7. Baltimore Orioles: Ace Reese, 3B, Mississippi State 
 Reese may be the best overall college bat in the class. The mix of a potential plus hit tool and plus power makes for a dynamic offensive profile that could quickly accelerate through a minor league system. There are some questions as to where he fits defensively long term, but the bat is good enough to warrant the selection here at No. 7.
 
8. Athletics: Jacob Lombard, SS, Gulliver Schools (FL)
 The Athletics have trended heavily toward college talent, but Lombard would be difficult to pass on if available here. He may be the top overall athlete among prep position players, showing an exciting run/power combination. Add in advanced defensive actions at shortstop and there’s legitimate star-level upside. This is the kind of dynamic profile that could shift an organizational philosophy.

9. Atlanta Braves: Ryder Helfrick, C, Arkansas 
 Helfrick has had a massive spring, and while the production has cooled slightly, his under the hood numbers have all trended in the right direction (chase, whiff, contact) while still tapping into what will eventually be above average to plus power down the line. He’s good behind the dish too, giving evaluators comfort that he can stick long-term thanks to his receiving ability and plus arm strength. 
 
10. Colorado Rockies: Drew Burress, OF, Georgia Tech 
 In a class full of impressive college hitters, Burress arguably has the best resume and track record. The Georgia Tech outfielder has posted a career 1.208 OPS with 53 homers and 35 more walks than strikeouts. Burress also provides above-average defense in center field. There are some concerns due to his size, but it will be hard to argue against the numbers he has posted here at pick No. 10. 
 
11. Washington Nationals: Jared Grindlinger, LHP/OF, Huntington Beach (CA)
 For a rebuilding organization, a high-upside two-way talent like Grindlinger makes plenty of sense. He offers a loose, athletic arm on the mound with projection remaining, while also bringing an advanced contact-oriented bat with considerable power upside. When you factor in his age and overall athleticism, it’s a profile our staff believes strongly in landing within this range.

12. Los Angeles Angels: Cameron Flukey, RHP, Coastal Carolina 
 Flukey was sidelined for a bit due to a non-throwing arm injury, and just recently returned to throw two innings. The stuff showed well, with a mid 90’s fastball that plays up and a sharp downer curveball in the mid to upper 70’s as his main secondary. Flukey is a proven collegiate starter with strike throwing ability and physical projection remaining. This has Angels written all over it.
  

13. St. Louis Cardinals: Cole Carlon, LHP, Arizona State 
 Carlon has steadily been on the rise after a successful transition to the starting rotation this spring. The big left-hander features a physical 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame and a power arsenal to go with it. The heater has been up to 101 mph and a power slider consistently makes hitters look silly. Carlon will be given every chance to start in pro ball, but the stuff could play out of a big league pen this year if he were needed.  
 
14. Miami Marlins: Gio Rojas, LHP, Marjory Stoneman Douglas (FL)
We have Rojas staying home in this iteration, and it’s a natural fit. Ranked No. 11 on our Top 400, we don’t expect him to slip far beyond this range. Even after a college-heavy 2025 draft for Miami, this is the type of high-end prep arm that’s difficult to bypass. He checks all the boxes in terms of size, athleticism, delivery, strike-throwing ability, and quality secondaries. The developmental upside here is substantial.

15. Arizona Diamondbacks: Tyler Bell*, SS, Kentucky 
 Bell is a draft eligible sophomore that turned down money from the Rays as a 2nd round pick back in ‘24 to get to campus. He’s beefed up his draft stock since then and turned into a solidified first rounder. It’s a solid bundle of average to above average tools across the board as a switch hitting stick that projects to stay at shortstop. 
 
16. Texas Rangers: Justin Lebron, SS, Alabama 
 Lebron has maybe been the most volatile name at the top of the board this spring. The Alabama shortstop was mocked to Rays at No. 2 last update, but has now slid into the mid-teens here to the Rangers. There is no denying the upside to the profile, but inconsistent performance during SEC play and a career high 16 errors already this spring has raised some concerns. 
 
17. Houston Astros: Chris Hacopian, SS, Texas A&M
 We kept Hacopian in-state with Houston. While the surface production has cooled slightly, the underlying metrics still point to a highly advanced offensive profile. He rarely chases or misses and shows the ability to really impact the baseball to all fields. Among middle infielders in this class, there aren’t many bats with this level of polish and consistency. 

18. Cincinnati Reds: Mason Edwards, LHP, USC 
 Edwards has absolutely shoved this spring and really has forced himself into first round talks given his performance. He’s a strike throwing left-handed arm with good shapes across the arsenal that get chase, off-setting his current 11% walk rate. The angles he can create down the slope only add to his effectiveness. The Reds had success with college arms in the first the last few years with Lowder and Burns, and will look to add Edwards to that list of big leaguers. 

19. Cleveland Guardians: Logan Schmidt, LHP, Ganesha (CA)
 The Guardians have had success developing pitchers and they add another arm to the farm system here in Schmidt. The SoCal left-hander provides a nice mix of present stuff and projection. He is young for the class and has plenty of time to develop into a quality starter at the next level. 
 
20. Boston Red Sox: Aiden Robbins, OF, Texas 
 Robbins makes a significant jump in this mock, climbing from No. 37 to No. 20. Our staff is bullish on the upside here, particularly given the trajectory of his offensive production this spring. He’s putting together a strong statistical season at Texas, showcasing one of the better hit/power combinations in this college class. Pair that with solid athleticism and the ability to handle all OF spots and there’s potential for him to go this high. 
 

21. San Diego Padres: Brody Bumila, LHP, Bishop Feehan (MA)
 The Padres took a similarly sized southpaw in last year’s draft with Kruz Schoolcraft, and we have them double dipping here to grab Bumila. It’s almost certainly a double plus or better heater down the line when it’s all said and done thanks to his release traits, present velocity (with more to tap into) and extension. The secondary stuff is developing, but you buy into the projection here with Bumila. 
 
22. Detroit Tigers: Eric Becker, SS, Virginia 
 The Tigers add maybe one of the safer profiles with Becker here at No. 22. That is not a knock either, as Becker can impact games on both sides of the ball and has been a consistent performer in his collegiate career. Becker is a lifetime .350 hitter with the ability to play sound defense at shortstop. 
 
23. Chicago Cubs: Sawyer Strosnider*, OF, TCU 
 Despite a slight dip in performance since our last mock, we still view Strosnider as a first-round talent. The tools remain highly intriguing, and it’s difficult to envision him sliding much further. He’s an explosive athlete with legitimate left-handed power, and the underlying data has trended positively with improved swing decisions, more walks and fewer strikeouts. There’s still plenty to like here.

24. Seattle Mariners: Cade Townsend*, RHP, Ole Miss 
 Townsend has seen the strikeouts tick up and the walks tick down in a dominant spring to this point for the Rebels. He’s always had stuff, and is now commanding it better than he ever has before. There’s an elite capacity to spin, strike throwing ability and present stuff. There is potential for a deep pitch mix here and lots of different shapes. 
 
25. Milwaukee Brewers: Logan Reddemann, RHP, UCLA 
 Reddemann is another arm that continues to rise up the board this spring. The ace of the No. 1 team in the country, Reddemann has posted a 2.87 ERA with an impressive 84:11 K:BB ratio in 59 2/3 innings. The heater works into the upper-90’s at times to go with a deep pitch mix that features a curveball, slider, cutter, and changeup. 
 

26. Atlanta Braves: Trevor Condon, OF, Etowah (GA)
 Condon is one of the bigger risers in this mock, jumping 14 spots while staying in-state with Atlanta. The Braves have shown a willingness to target prep talent early, and he fits the mold well. He offers strong barrel accuracy, athleticism, and emerging power that’s shown up consistently this spring. Defensively, he has the tools to remain in center field, adding to the overall value of the profile.

 27. New York Mets: Caden Sorrell, OF, Texas A&M 
 Sorrell has had a massive spring, as the power has come in full force to produce 20 homeruns to this point in the season. There’s some whiff and chase in his offensive profile, but teams are going to be more than happy to take the plus power trade-off that he can provide. 
 
28. Houston Astros: Logan Hughes, OF, Texas Tech 
 Hughes stays in the state of Texas and heads south to Astros here at No. 28. The Texas Tech outfielder has slid under the radar at times, but has first round tools. An extremely well-rounded bat, Hughes provides both power and bat to ball skills. He is currently supporting a .372/.502/.683 slashline with a 13.8% K-rate. 
 
29. Cleveland Guardians: Derek Curiel*, OF, LSU 
 Curiel has been swinging it well of late, making it unlikely he gets past this range. The offensive profile is built around consistent contact and the ability to use the entire field, and recent gains in EVs point to growing impact. Combined with his defensive instincts and range in center field, this is a well-rounded player whose game continues to trend upward.

 30. Kansas City Royals: Sean Duncan, LHP, Terry Fox Secondary School (CAN)
 Tons of clay and projection here with Duncan, as the athletic southpaw has already seen his fastball get to 95-mph while showing the ability to spin a slider that evaluators will feel comfortable projecting on. Duncan has a good feel for his change as well. He’s got an easy delivery with projectable control, command and velocity across the board. 
 
31. Arizona Diamondbacks: Cole Prosek, IF/C, Magnolia Heights (MS)
 Prosek has long been a favorite amongst the PG scouting department and now looks to be in line to come off the board early on day one. The Mississippi prep is a potential plus hitter who is always seemingly on the barrel. There now looks like a legit chance he catches at the next level, giving the profile an added element of value.  
 
32. St. Louis Cardinals: Coleman Borthwick, RHP, South Walton 
 The Cardinals have leaned college in recent drafts, but Borthwick could be the type of prep pitcher to break that trend. He’s a physically imposing, athletic right-hander at 6-foot-6, 225 pounds with a fast and powerful arm. The fastball has been up to 100 mph with strikes, and he shows strong feel for spin. It’s a high-upside prep arm with the traits teams covet, and one our staff is confident lands in the top 40.

 33. Tampa Bay Rays: Carson Bolemon, LHP, Southside Christian Schools (SC)
 Bolemon brings physicality, handedness and more polish for a prep than expected to the table for a left-handed arm. His fastball gets into the mid 90’s and he holds velocity well into games, while showing a feel for spinning both his slider and curveball. There’s a change-up in the mix as well. Evaluators are going to like the strike throwing ability and projection for future command here with Bolemon.
 
34. Pittsburgh Pirates: Liam Peterson, RHP, Florida 
 Peterson looked like he could potentially be a Top-10 before the season started. Unfortunately, the control has taken a step backward this spring. When he is at his best, the stuff is among the best in the country. It is a power fastball and a deep four-pitch mix The Pirates could add yet another talented arm to their deep farm if they can help Peterson fix the inconsistent strikes.
 
35. New York Yankees: Jensen Hirschkorn, RHP, Kingsburg (CA)
 The Yankees have favored college talent recently, but this prep class particularly on the mound could push teams in a different direction. Hirschkorn stands out with a 6-foot-7 frame and easy, repeatable mechanics. He already runs the fastball into the mid-90s with projection for more, and shows the ability to spin multiple breaking balls while flashing a quality changeup. The overall upside here is considerable.

 36. Philadelphia Phillies: Chris Rembert*, 2B, Auburn
 Rembert has some of the best bat speed in collegiate baseball, and his profile shows a nice bundle of 50-55 tools on his card. He’s a solid second baseman with arm strength to make plays in the hole while showing to be an average runner. There is more contact being made this spring with an uptick in his exit velocities, but that hasn’t yet translated to an increase in his slugging output, as he runs a near 48% groundball rate. There is track record and projection here. 
 

37. Colorado Rockies: Joseph Contreras, RHP, Blessed Trinity Catholic (GA)
 Contreras has already shown he can perform on the big stage this spring during his time playing in the WBC. The Georgia prep right-hander checks a lot of boxes you look for. He features a power fastball, can spin the slider, and possesses a dynamic forkball that can be absolutely wicked. Throw in the fact he comes from big league bloodlines, you got a very intriguing profile that is real hard to pass at No. 37.
 
38. Colorado Rockies: Jack Radel, RHP, Notre Dame 
 Radel presents an appealing option for clubs seeking a prototypical starter profile. He offers size, a clean delivery, and consistent strike-throwing, all pointing toward durability in a rotation role. For Colorado, a college arm with a developed, multi-pitch mix fits a logical pathway. His stuff has ticked up this spring as well, translating to improved bat-missing ability and some added intrigue in this range. 

39. Toronto Blue Jays: Bo Lowrance, 3B, Christ Church Episcopal (SC)
 The Jays nab a projectable left-handed stick with some impact potential at the hot corner in Lowrance. There’s plenty of length in his frame to project strength onto, natural leverage in his swing and plenty of evaluators will foresee real impact down the line. He will be a corner defender for his entire career, and will need to work to stick at third base. 
 
40. Los Angeles Dodgers: Archer Horn, SS/RHP, St. Ignatius College Prep (CA)
 Horn has been a name that has been mentioned a lot this spring. The California prep infielder stays in the golden state, going to the Dodgers here at No. 40. Horn features an athletic frame to go with real bat speed and a plus run tool. The Dodgers  will have to fight off the always tough Stanford commitment, but the upside could make it worth it.

Vincent Cervino

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...

The Texas A&M commit collected a pair of hits and also threw a runner out at home from left field. Harwood possesses impressive physicality that can produce big impact at the plate. The profile has middle of the order upside. Defensively, Harwood profiles best for a corner outfield spot long term.

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...

College Players of the Week: April 28

Craig Cozart
Article Image
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...

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. ...
