Damien Magnifico Perfect Game profile

Position: RHP
Height: 6-2
Weight: 195
Bats/Throws: R/R
Birthdate: May 24, 1991
College: Oklahoma
Hometown: Mesquite, Texas
Previously Drafted: Mets '09 (5)
Projected Draft Round: 1S, 2, 3

If the ability to throw hard was the sole gauge in evaluating pitching prospects, Magnifico would be the No. 1 pick in this year’s draft. Hands down!

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound righthander has routinely hit triple digits this spring for Oklahoma, peaking as high as 103 mph. Only two or three other pitchers in this year’s draft class can legitimately claim to have reached 100, and then only in glimpses. Magnifico does it as a matter of routine.

2024 Mock Draft: April 11
We're still so far away from the July date of the 2024 MLB Draft that anything can, and likely will, happen moving forward but here's how the draft team sees things falling into place if the draft were to happen now.

MLB Draft Board Update: Top 400
The 2024 MLB Draft doesn’t happen for another three months, but it has already drawn a reputation for being a bit light in terms of overall talent compared to years past. The truth is we’re not going to know that answer for at least another five years or so but there are strengths to this class particularly at the top of the draft.

2025 MLB Draft: College Top 150
