Adam Plutko wasn’t in an enviable situation last summer. He pitched for Team USA - which is of course an honor - but he pitched alongside power arms like Ryne Stanek, Bobby Wahl, Jonathon Crawford, and Trevor Williams. Side by side, simply in terms of pure stuff, Plutko doesn’t stack with those pitchers. What he might lack in the way of electric, swing and miss stuff, however, he more than makes up for with pitchability and command. This is not a pitcher that a scout is going to fall in love with after seeing him in one outing, but his track record and consistency speaks volumes.

PG Top 400 Draft Board Breakdown
With a recent update to our Top 400 Draft Board, the PG Draft Team took a deeper dive into some of the biggest risers as well as some names making their debut.

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
