MLB Draft: Early Season Movers

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.

Top 100 Collegiate Freshmen

Vincent Cervino
Article Image
As we creep toward opening day here in a month or so, the draft team has put together the Top 100 freshmen on campus this spring.  Three high-end arms lead the way, starting with Jack Bauer. The Mississippi State left-hander reached triple digits as a prep and is sure to make an immediate impact this spring. UCLA right-hander Angel Cervantes was selected in the 2nd round of last year’s draft but held firm on his commitment and should be an impact arm for the Bruins. Following the arms, a collection of bats rounds out the Top 10. There is loads of upside to the group with the potential and they should draw considerable playing time as freshman.  As the list gets deeper, there are plenty of players that should pop up and make significant contributions both this year and years down the line. The class has both depth and talent, making for a very intriguing group of...

Wolforth Throwing Mentorship: Article 61

Demystifying the Curveball, Pitch Counts, and Weighted Balls- Part 1 You know what I love about the holidays? Good food, time with family, and the unspoken rule that nobody brings up religion or politics at the dinner table.   Why? Because they're powder kegs. Topics that bring out deep-seated beliefs and strong emotions.  Well, I accidentally lit one of those powder kegs recently, except it wasn't at the dinner table. It was on social media.   Our team posted a short clip of me at Boot Camp making what I thought was a pretty straightforward point: simply avoiding the curveball is far from a guarantee of arm health.   I wasn't trying to be provocative. I was just stating what I believed to be obvious after 30 years of doing this work.  But boy, did a few people have problems with it.   It became one of the most discussed posts in Ranch history....

Back-to-Back MLK East for Phillies

TBT Phillies Scout run rules for second straight MLK East Championship The 14U TBT Phillies Scout Team overtook A3 Academy Futures 14-6 in the final game to win their second straight 2026 MLK East Championship. Though the skies were blue and the sun was out in Fort Myers, Florida, the air was very chilly. The wind whipped through the palm trees as players, parents and friends piled into the 5-Plex Player Development Complex bundled up in blankets, hoodies and beanies.  The A3 Academy Futures were first up to bat - and the TBT Phillies struggled through the first frame. The first run came across on a balk; the second came soon after off a double from Gabriel Messing. “I was surprised that they scored right away off the jump,” Kingston George said, an outfielder for TBT Phillies Scout and this year’s MVP of the 14U East MLK championship. “We were kind of quiet...

MLK West Scout Notes: Days 3-4

Steve Fiorindo
Article Image
MLK West Scout Notes: Days 1-2 Markus Chandler, RHP, Westside HS Class of 2027 A little on the undersized side as a sub 6 footer, but Chandler can generate some velo and spin.  Spun 3 frames of hitless ball for Spects National with zero walks and 6 strikeouts.  Committed to Kansas State, the righty ran the fastball to 92, living 89-92 pumping the zone with 75 percent strikes.  Looked like two different breaking balls, with the SL 80/81 (spin in 2500’s) and curveball 75/76.  No hard contact, little contact at all off the righty in this dominant outing. To follow up the pitching performance, Chandler swung the bat well on Championship Monday (Trademark Pending) with 5 RBI and three hits on the day, regularly on the barrel.  Trevor Alons, RHP, Centennial HS Class of 2028 Lean framed sophomore with a quick, whippy arm.  Playing up a few classes, you might...
