MLB Draft: Early Season Movers

Tyler Henninger
Isaiah Burrows
Tyler Kotila
MLB Draft Board Updated: Top 300


Aiden Harris, 3B, Pro Development Group (VA) 
Draft Eligible: 2024 | Draft Board Rank: 51 



Harris went down to Hoover and showed off some good swings, carrying that forward and showing off that feel for the barrel for PDG. He's shown really impressive stuff in the batters' box on the circuit. He's got tons of strength to impact with a really simple and low-effort stroke that yields some of the loudest contact in the class. The Virginia commit has been one of the big bats in the PDG lineup this spring. The power upside here is mountainous with a swing that's quick to launch and produces some seriously loud results. Harris is also up to 92 mph on the fastball. Sub-7.00 60-yard dash runner with twitch and athleticism in the 6-foot-4, 230-pound frame. He's someone to keep an eye on moving forward, that's for sure, currently stationed just outside the Top 50 in the class. 


Kellon Lindsey, SS/OF, Hardee Senior (FL) 
Draft Eligible: 2024 | Draft Board Rank: NR 

Lindsey has been one of the names that has been getting a ton of buzz this spring. He made a name for himself in 2023, but after playing football in the fall as QB1 for his high school squad, he’s back on the dirt for baseball season and showing off the tools left and right. He’s a 6-foot, 175-pound frame that oozes athleticism and tons of twitch. He’s been able to really show off his tools lately, playing some shortstop and centerfield for the Hardee squad. He may not stick in the middle of the field in the long term, but he’s a burner and has the speed/athleticism to get it done. The Florida commit is a right-handed bat with a pretty simple and fluid stroke. He’s direct with his stride and hands, with some bat speed to beat the ball to the front and do damage. He’s 7-for-15 this spring with a few extra-base hits and 8 bags swiped on the basepaths. He’s walked 8 times and struck out just 3 times. Keep an eye on Lindsey as the spring continues to progress. 



Bryce Rainer, RHP/SS, Harvard Westlake (CA) 
Draft Eligible: 2024 | Draft Board Rank: 41 

One of the premier two-way talents who’s really shined on the mound this spring is Bryce Rainer. He’s inside the Top-50 on our board, and it looks like he’s got the up-arrow next to him as we look ahead to the next update. Rainer has looked the part on both sides of the ball but pieced together some really nice starts this spring. He’s worked up into the mid-90s on the fastball (up to 96 mph), with a feel for a mid-70s curveball, slider up to 81 mph, and changeup in the 78-81 mph range with good depth. Just a ton to like here, with easy velocity and athleticism on the mound, which also translates into the batters’ box. Rainer has easy bat speed and some juice that’s worked to all fields. He’s launched a couple of balls this spring and has handled the bat well. It’s two-way upside that teams are likely to be in on the traits on the mound, though the Texas commit has also shown some loud swings this spring.  


Gage Jump, LHP, Redshirt Sophomore, LSU 
Draft Eligible: 2024 | Draft Board Rank: 77 

Jump has started to gain some steam, putting together some impressive starts. He's someone who could move even further up draft boards if he can continue to snowball good starts. The redshirt sophomore is a 6-foot, 197-pound frame who's been mowing down hitters with LSU this spring. The southpaw has four appearances with three starts for the Tigers in 2024. He's logged 13.1 innings pitched with 6 hits, 2 walks, and 21 punchouts while not allowing an earned run this spring. Jump has run it up to 96 mph with good carry. He's got two distinct breaking balls with good shape. He's thrown a ton of strikes this spring and has looked the part. Keep an eye on Jump for the Tigers' pitching staff for the rest of this spring. 

Trey Yesavage, RHP, Junior, East Carolina 
Draft Eligible: 2024 | Draft Board Rank: 35 

Speaking of dominance on the mound, Trey Yesaveage has been churning out dominant outing after dominant outing. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound frame has plenty to like out on the mound. He’s a physical arm with a longer arm action and tons of whip-through release from the higher three-quarters slot. Yesavage has worked into the upper-90s, getting up to 98 mph. It’s got a good angle and sink to it that’s been problematic for opposing hitters. It’s a full four-pitch mix that he has had success with this year. In his four starts, he’s pitched to a 1.13 ERA and a 0.72 WHIP. He’s thrown 24.0 innings, allowing just 10 hits, walking only 7, and striking out 39 opposing hitters. Premier arm in the class who has really made some noise this spring; keep an eye on the right-hander.  

Matt Scott, RHP, Sophomore, Stanford 
Draft Eligible: 2025 | Draft Board Rank: 11 

When it comes to intriguing arms, look no further than Matt Scott. The right-handed pitcher is in year two with Stanford, looking to continue to make some noise. He’s ranked 11th on our board for the 2025 draft class. Scott’s a sophomore arm who has been making noise this spring and is expected to continue to gain some steam. Scott has outlier stuff. He’s up into the low- to mid-90s with absurd ride on his heater, carrying it a ton. He’s got a cutter in the mix as well, helping bridge his entire arsenal. The cutter is in the upper-80s with a shorter shape and firm look. The slider is a sweeper in the mid-70s with depthy and later break to it. Scott’s got a ton to like with his arsenal. He’s made four starts with 22.1 innings pitched under his belt on the season. He’s allowed 12 hits, walked 10, and struck out 37 opposing hitters – managing a 3.63 ERA and holding opponents to a .156 average on the season. He may not be a name to watch for this draft class, but keep an eye on Scott with the Stanford pitching staff. 

-Tyler Kotila

Carson Benge, Sophomore, OF/RHP, Oklahoma State
Draft Eligible: 2024 | Draft Board Rank: 20

Benge generated a fair share of buzz last year and has continued the hype so far this year. A loose operation in the box shows extremely fast hand speed with outstanding feel for the barrel present. Benge is currently posting a .368/.470/.632 slash line with 11 extra-base hits and five stolen bases. Athleticism and a plus arm profile well in right field, rounding out a loud profile with first round upside. 

Dakota Jordan, Sophomore, OF, Mississippi State
Draft Eligible: 2024 | Draft Board Rank: 31

Jordan has followed up a strong freshman year with a monster sophomore campaign, posting a .419/.550/.968 slash line with nine home runs and 16 total extra-base hits up to this point. The slugger possesses some of the best bat speed in the country and 70-grade raw power that plays regularly during in-game action. There is massive upside on the offensive side of the ball that will warrant a significant boost next update. 

Jacob Walsh, Junior, 1B, Oregon 
Draft Eligible: 2024 | Draft Board Rank: N/A

Walsh has been a mainstay in the Oregon lineup over the past few years, but is currently in the midst of his best year yet. The slugging first baseman features massive raw power that shows up regularly in-game. Walsh has already hit six home runs this year, while showing significant development to the hit tool. His current .351 average is over .100 points higher than last year. Should he continue to show improvement in his approach and hit tool, he could garner a fair bit of attention this summer. 

Ryan Campos, Junior, C, Arizona State
Draft Eligible: 2024 | Draft Board Rank: 191

Campos was off to a slower start by his standards, but the backstop seems to be returning to his usual productive form. Campos went yard three times against Oregon and currently sits at six home runs on the year while posting a career best .627 SLG. A well-rounded profile on both sides of the ball should allow Campos to be one of the first few collegiate catchers off the board. 

Trent Caraway, Freshman, 3B, Oregon State 
Draft Eligible: 2025 | Draft Board Rank: 10

Caraway generated plenty of attention as a prep, but opted to head to school instead. The slugging third baseman has immediately made an impact as a freshman, posting a 1.072 OPS through his first 12 games. It is an above-average hit tool with advanced power that should only continue to develop as he starts to create loft more consistently. Caraway will be draft eligible next year as a sophomore and looks to be a potential early day one pick. 

-Tyler Henninger

Jac Caglianone, 1B/LHP, Florida
Draft Eligible: 2024 Draft Board Rank: 9

Caglianone’s two-way ability stood out this past week and particularly on the hill. He tossed an impressive six-inning shutout with nine punchouts on March 10. His changeup really opened eyes as a go-to offering and rounds out a power mix that reaches upwards of 97-99 mph. The power more than speaks for itself at this point, but the pitchability this past week was downright impressive for what looks to be an early Day 1 pick. 

Will Taylor, OF, Clemson
Draft Eligible: 2024 Draft Board Rank: 44

Speaking of power, how about the recent display from Taylor at the plate? He hit a 416 foot homer to left-center that came off the bat at 96 mph. His plate discipline and offensive polish has really improved this season, combined with the plus athlete and defensive tools across the board. If this power shows up often combined with his ability to roam any of the three outfield spots, expect some big things come July. 

James Tibbs III OF/1B, Florida State
Draft Eligible: 2024 Draft Board Rank: 86

Tibbs III continues to produce once again. He launched a no-doubt three-run shot in a big spot against Florida and is slashing .387/.480/.903 with eight pumps so far. It’s one of the higher end hit/power floors in this entire class and it’s been on display since his freshman year. There’s a ton to like in the bat from the left side, and he has an upward arrow next to his name.

Underclass Area Codes: Standout Arms

Joey Cohen
Article Image
Year in and year out when the best young talent from across the country is packed into one national-level event the arms tend to win the week. That feels especially true in today’s amateur game where velocity, pitch design and high-level training in general are being introduced earlier than ever, allowing young pitchers to develop impactful stuff at a faster rate than younger hitters can consistently catch up to it. The Underclass Area Code Games are no exception and this year there was no shortage of arms that made you stop and take notice. Narrowing it down to 10 was difficult, but I focused on the pitchers who either displayed starter-type traits, brought something genuinely different from a delivery standpoint whether it was slot, height, crossfire or deception or simply possessed an outlier element of stuff that separated them from the pack. These are the 10 arms that stood...

Area Code Gams: Prospect Recap

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
Pitchers George Ferguson, RHP, Abilene HS  Ferguson toed the slab for the Rangers squad in game one of the Codes, setting the tone early with some loud stuff.  Ferguson attacked hitters with a verty fastball up to 96 that played well up in the zone with up to 24 inches of induced vertical break.  He showed more than just a power arsenal, going to the changeup often, using the pitch to put away hitters.  Kills the spin to the 1600’s, regularly getting 13-15 inches of horizontal break.  The slider rounded out the arsenal, working 82/83.  Struck out four over his three innings of work, two on the fastball, two on the change.  2026 PG All American committed to Texas.  Quinn Fitzpatrick, RHP, Stratford HS  Another 2026 PG All American out of Texas, the LSU commit punched out three over his two innings of work, allowing just one hit. ...

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.
