Prospect 1-50
Prospects 51-100
Prospects 151-200
Prospects 201-250


101. TAYLOR WILLIAMS, rhp, Kent State University
Williams endured a difficult freshman season in 2011 at Washington State, going 0-1, 12.19, while allowing 34 base runners (25 H/9 BB) in 10 innings, and striking out just four. But the 5-foot-11, 185-pound right-hander has rebounded strongly from his early adversity, leading to his improbable emergence as an early-round candidate in this year’s draft. His turnaround began two summers ago playing for Keene in the New England Collegiate League, where he experienced dramatic improvement in his raw stuff and command while transitioning from a reliever to the ace of the SwampBats staff. Williams led the NECBL in wins, while going 6-1, 2.18 overall, and also sparked Keene to a league title. Perhaps of greater significance, his career path took an interesting turn that summer as his Keene teammates included four players from Kent State, including current Golden Flashes ace Tyler Skulina, who openly encouraged Williams to transfer to Kent State after it became known that he was leaving WSU. Rather than sit out a year while transferring from one Division I school to another, Williams spent the 2012 season playing at Oregon’s Mt. Hood Community College, where his fast arm and velocity at 90-94 mph quickly came to the attention of Northwest scouts. His dual role as an everyday position player took a toll on him physically, which impacted the ability for him to sustain his velocity, and he went undrafted. That paved the way for Williams to move on to Kent State as a junior, and he has been dominant this spring with a heavy, sinking fastball at 93-96, and an equally impressive slider. With his short, compact frame, two dominant pitches and a nasty, combative approach on the mound, some scouts have always been quick to cast Williams in a short, end-of-game role. But they have been less inclined to do this spring as he has shown a decent curve and changeup to complement his overpowering fastball/slider combination, and dominated as Kent State’s Saturday starter, posting a 9-1, 2.14 record with a team-high 91 strikeouts and only 16 walks in 93 innings.

102. CHANDLER EDEN, rhp, Yuba City HS (Calif.)
After becoming a primary pitcher during his junior season at Yuba City HS, Eden has seen significant strides and has gone from an unknown product to having worked his way into a potential signable round draft prospect. He topped out at 92 mph at the 2012 Area Code games, and generally pitches in the low-90s, though there are reports that he's topped out a bit higher than that this spring. He has a fast arm and a projectable frame, and if he honors his commitment to Oregon State he could be a player to watch for the 2016 draft. At this point in his career he's a quality projection arm, albeit one with a limited prospect resume, that should draw some interest this June if he indicates an interest in signing.

103. VICTOR CARATINI, c/3b, Miami-Dade JC (Fr.)
Caratini’s career was going nowhere fast a year ago as a freshman at Southern University, when he was declared ineligible on the eve of the 2012 season. It came too late for the Puerto Rican product to transfer elsewhere and he still didn’t have a college in the works for the current campaign until he was re-routed to Miami-Dade just prior to classes enrolling last fall. It’s been all positive since for the switch-hitting Caratini, who leads the Sharks in homers and RBI, and has been instrumental in his team’s rise to No. 1 in Perfect Game’s ranking of the nation’s top junior colleges. Caratini’s ability to square up balls from both sides with a controlled, aggressive approach has set him apart as the best all-around hitting prospect in the Florida juco ranks, and his surge as a prospect this spring has occurred even he as he spent most of the 2013 season playing largely out of position at third base. Miami-Dade has the luxury of a roster with four catchers who could conceivably be drafted in June, and Caratini’s flexibility in the field made him a logical candidate to move from behind the plate and fill in elsewhere. He excelled defensively at third with his range and superior arm strength, but scouts still view Caratini mostly as a catcher on the strength of his sound defensive skills and enthusiastic style of play, though his bat remains the strength of his game.

104. TREY MICHALCZEWSKI, ss/3b, Jenks HS (Okla.)
Michalczewski has been the fast rising prep player in the state this year and there is speculation that he could even be drafted ahead of Drew Ward, a thought that wasn’t on the table a few months ago. Last summer the 6-foot-3, 195-pound Michaleczewski played at many of the same events with then fellow Oklahoma high schooler Ryder Jones (now living in North Carolina), and likely suffered by comparison. Although similar athletes with the same size and defensive profile, Jones had two distinct advantages in his then better present physical strength and a much stronger throwing arm. Michalczewski has made up the gap in one of those areas, as he has gained significant strength over the past 6-8 months and gained a corresponding amount of bat speed from both sides of the plate. His smooth and loose swing has classic extension out front and his hand path to the ball short and direct, making the added strength stand out even more. Michalczewski is a 6.78 runner even at his size and has easy athletic actions at shortstop. He likely profiles better at third base at the professional level.

105. MYLES SMITH, rhp, Lee University (Tenn.)
Smith was drafted in the 16th round a year ago by the New York Mets out of Miami-Dade Junior College, but decided against turning pro in favor of accepting a scholarship to play at nearby Miami. His decision to bypass an offer from the Mets came into question when he was subsequently declared academically ineligible at Miami, and was left only with offers from NAIA schools to ponder. But Smith has turned his adversity into a golden opportunity to exponentially improve his worth for the 2013 draft. As a junior at Tennessee’s Lee University, an NAIA power, he has improved the velocity on his fastball from a standard 90-93 mph in 2012, to a more eye-popping 93-97. His changeup has continued to be a dominant off-speed pitch, while the Lee coaching staff committed him to throwing his slider more frequently to give him a breaking ball and enhance his chances of remaining a starter at the pro level, and Smith has also made significant strides with that pitch. With a solid three-pitch mix, he has dominated his NAIA competition, posting a 10-3, 1.51 record in 13 starts as Lee embarked on post-season play, along with 27 walks and 84 strikeouts in 71 innings. In addition to his superior velocity, the 6-foot-1, 175-pound Smith stands out among this year’s crop of college arms because of his superior athleticism. He was the best all-around talent to come out of the Michigan high school ranks in 2010, but made little headway as a freshman at Missouri while dividing his time between pitching and playing shortstop. He elected to transfer to Miami-Dade a year later with the initial intention of playing both ways, but soon decided to concentrate on pitching only and his career soon took off—even as he hit an apparent speed bump last summer, before quickly resurrecting his career this spring.

Brotherly Love Inspires Carter Hadnot

Jim Salisbury

PHILADELPHIA – Perfect Game has been a big part of Carter Hadnot’s life since he was 12. He participated in more than a dozen tournaments and showcases, including prestigious Select Festivals as a 13U and 14U player, as well as last summer’s PG All-Star Game for underclassmen in San Diego.   The PG event that Hadnot always wanted to be part of was the DICK’s All-American Classic. Now, that’s on his resume, too. He played in the 24th annual Classic earlier this week at Citizens Bank Park, home of the Philadelphia Phillies. “This means a lot to me,” he said during the event. “I always wanted to make it to Select Fest when I was younger. So, every time I get invited to an event it’s an honor and it’s fun. I don’t take it for granted. “This is definitely the one I always wanted to make it to. A lot of big names have...

Scott Wins MVP Two Ways

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – When the folks at Perfect Game reached out to invite him to pitch in the 2026 PG All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors, Cullen Scott had one request. “You mind if I get a couple of at-bats, too?” Along with his dad, Scott traveled from the family’s home in Texas to Citizens Bank Park. The trip proved to be a huge success as he starred on the mound and at the plate and was named the game’s Most Valuable Player. Scott, 16, pitched a scoreless first inning and struck out two. In the fourth inning, he belted a grand slam six rows up into the left-field seats to lead the National team’s 6-1 win over the American team. “He showed us why he’s here as a pitcher and a hitter,” said Greg Sabers, PG’s vice president of scouting and showcases. "He’s one of the top pitchers here, but he’s too good a...

Romero Slams His Way to Classic MVP

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Sunday’s DICK’s Perfect Game All-American Classic was a pitching-dominated affair until the bottom of the eighth inning when the rain started to fall at Citizens Bank Park and Koa Romero stepped to the plate and did his best impression of Kyle Schwarber. Romero wears No. 12, just like Schwarber. He bats left-handed, just like Schwarber. He’s got big power, just like Schwarber. And at 5-10 and a rock-solid 225 pounds, he’s even built like Schwarber. Needless to say, Schwarber is Romero’s favorite player. So, it was all kind of storybook when Romero belted a grand slam to dead center to cap off the scoring in the West team’s 8-3 win over the East club in the 24th annual Classic. “This is a dream come true,” said Romero, who was named MVP of the game. “It’s amazing to be able to put a ball like that out of a...

A Philly Dream for Steingall

Jim Salisbury
Article Image
PHILADELPHIA – Carson Steingall had been to Citizens Bank Park many times over the years. After all, he hails from Nazareth, Pa., about 90 minutes up the road from the home of the Philadelphia Phillies and he counts himself as a big fan of the team. Zack Wheeler is his favorite. Steingall realized a dream when he pitched from the same mound that Wheeler does in Perfect Game’s fourth annual All-Star Game for rising sophomores and juniors on Friday. The dream got even better when Steingall, a 16-year-old right-hander, was named Most Valuable Pitcher after striking out the side in the third inning of the National team’s 6-1 victory over the American team. “It’s just an honor to be here,” Steingall said after receiving his trophy. “This event is the best of the best. It’s really cool to win something like this.” Steingall, who’ll...
