Prospects 1-50
Prospects 51-100
Prospects 101-150
Prospects 201-250


151. D.J. SNELTEN, lhp, University of Minnesota (Jr.)
A towering lefty at 6-foot-7, 230-pounds, Snelten offers plenty of upside on the mound. He uses his size well pitching downhill on batters from a deceptive, low three-quarters delivery, typically pitching in the 87-91 range with the ability to touch 93-94 mph. He generates late, sinking life on his fastball and complements that pitch with a low-80s slider and a developing changeup. Snelten made the most of his opportunity as a starter during his sophomore campaign in 2012, taking a weekend starting role when Tom Windle was sidelined for several weeks with an ailing shoulder. A left elbow injury delayed the start of Snelten's season this year, but he returned strong at the beginning of Big Ten Conference play going 5-1 with a 1.88 ERA in nine appearances, seven of which have been starts. In 52 2/3 innings he has allowed 43 hits and 17 walks while striking out 37. Snelten's secondary offerings have come a long way over the last year, and he has all of the pieces to continue improving at the professional level as he continues to trust his fastball and pitch more aggressively. He along with Windle and Alec Crawford have given Minnesota a formidable weekend trio to contend with, a team that is second in the conference with a 2.86 ERA.

152. BRIAN RAGIRA, 1b/3b, Stanford University (Jr.)
While he has yet to fulfill his massive potential that he showed off during a Freshman All-American season in 2011, Ragira has big tools and has flashed the ability to use them at times. He's had a good showing this spring, not the dominant force that his raw tool set suggests he is capable of being, but he's certainly swinging the bat well with a line of .365/.408/.619 through 15 games (63 at-bats) in Pac-12 play. His lackluster performance last year as a sophomore and good but unspectacular beginning to this season has him just outside of Group 1 for the time being, though he could make a move upward with a strong finish to the season. Click here to read Ragira's detailed Draft Focus report.

153. J.D. UNDERWOOD, rhp/1b, Palm Beach State (Fla.) CC (So.)
Underwood comes from a noted baseball family as his father Tom (who died of cancer in 2010) was a second-round pick of the Phillies in 1972, and his uncle Pat was the second overall pick in the draft four years later. Both went on to distinguished major league careers as pitchers. The younger Underwood hopes to follow in their footsteps, and appears well on his way after posting a 7-2, 1.35 record as a sophomore for Palm Beach State, which includes a 17-strikeout game against Broward CC and no-hitter against No. 1-ranked Miami-Dade in consecutive starts. In 73 innings, he had walked just five while striking out 77. At 6-foot-1, 205-pounds, Underwood isn’t overpowering but is very advanced in his approach to pitching, has a clean arm action and can throw four pitches for strikes. His fastball typically ranges from 88-92 mph, but he gets good movement on the pitch and commands it with precision. He augments it with a solid-average curve, along with a splitter and changeup that produce different actions at the plate. Underwood also plays first base for Palm Beach State, is the best hitter on his team (.353-3-39) and could go both ways in college if he fulfills his college commitment to Miami, but would concentrate on pitching at the pro level. He projects as an end-of-rotation starter.

154. CHRIS KOHLER, lhp, Los Osos HS (Calif.)
A projection lefty, Kohler has touched 92 mph with his fastball this spring while generally working at 88-90. He had a strong showing at the 2012 PG National Showcase where he did a good job of working ahead in the count and staying around the strike zone with his fastball. He's had some ups and downs against quality competition, but he's flashed the kind of ability that should draw some strong draft interest. His curveball shows good depth at times, and his changeup flashes life to the arm side, though he's still developing feel for both pitches.

155. BRANDON DIXON, 3b/1b, University of Arizona
As Arizona’s starting first baseman in 2012, Dixon contributed a meager .247 batting average, one homer and 13 RBI, along with a modest eight stolen bases in 12 attempts, to his team’s successful run to a College World Series title. Thrust into a key offensive role this spring in a depleted Wildcats lineup, while also switching across the diamond to third base, Dixon has responded with a breakout season and not only was leading the Pacific-12 Conference in batting (.377) in late April, but in stolen bases (26 in 30 attempts). He has also chipped in with a team-high five homers while playing in a spacious home ballpark. Dixon’s emergence as a legitimate prospect for the 2013 draft hasn’t been a total surprise to scouts as he has always featured impressive athleticism and agility in his powerful 6-foot-3, 215-pound frame, and grades out as an above-average runner. While Dixon, who went undrafted out of a California high school in 2010, has average bat speed and balls often jump off his bat, there’s more effort in his swing than scouts would like and there are questions whether he has enough quickness and lift in his swing to hit for power on a consistent basis as he progresses. His move to third base is also viewed as a stop-gap measure as he has struggled there defensively, though may be an ideal fit on an outfield corner with his combination of speed, agility and raw arm strength.

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...

Perfect Game to honor Pat Gillick in new Philadelphia Showcase  By Maya Heyman Perfect Game is bringing its elite showcase experience to Philadelphia’s FDR Park for the inaugural Philly Stars/Pat Gillick Showcase this weekend, honoring one of the greatest executives in MLB history in the city where he constructed his final of three World Series winners.

Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title

Alyssa Golden
Article Image
Pokers Rally to Capture 16U BCS Title A hot afternoon at JetBlue Stadium in Fort Myers, Florida ended in a 9-1 victory for the Original Florida Pokers 2028 National, defeating SBA Bolts Florida 2028 National on Monday to capture the 16U BCS National Championship. A pitchers’ duel kept the game scoreless through four innings before the Pokers broke it open with a five-run fifth inning. The title marked the Pokers’ second 16U BCS Championship, adding to the championship they won in 2022. Despite a slow start to the summer, the Pokers found their stride at the right time. “We struggled a lot early in the summer, but the past few tournaments we really started turning it on,” Pokers head coach Will McCrimon said. “I’m just so proud of these kids.” Max Maynes started the game on the mound for the Pokers. The left-hander allowed three hits and two walks...

Realistic Expectations of a 1:1 Pick

Tyler Henninger
Article Image
Over the 2026 draft cycle, UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky was the projected No. 1 pick throughout the entire cycle. White Sox fans began #RochWatch and were already talking about when he will make it to Chicago. Now that he has been selected, Cholowsky has immediately become a Top-10 prospect in all of baseball. There is no denying the hype, and the pressure, for Chowlosky to get to the big leagues and produce at a high level.  But how realistic is that? Let’s take a look back at past 1:1 selections and see what you can expect from a No. 1 overall selection.  For this exercise, we’ll look at No. 1 overall picks from the bonus pool era, excluding Eli Willits from 2025 since this is his first full year of pro ball. That gives us 13 players selected from 2012 through 2024.  Almost All Become Big Leaguers The first thing that stands out is how successful No. 1 picks...
