Live Draft Tracker - Round 5
No. 136 Overall — Colorado Rockies
Selection: Tyler Putnam
Position/School: RHP, Battle HS (MO)
Analysis: TBD
No. 137 Overall — Chicago White Sox
Selection: Cal Scolari
Position/School: RHP, Oregon
Analysis: TBD
No. 138 Overall — Washington Nationals
Selection: Daniel Cuvet
Position/School: 3B, Miami
Analysis:
Cuvet has illustrious power upside dating back to his Florida prep days where he got popped by Pittsburgh as an "atta boy" in the 17th in 2023, but instead stayed in state for school where he logged his name into the Miami record books over three years and was tracking towards his best year as a junior before a stress fracture in his back ended his season prematurely. A right-handed hitter, he is a short loader with a lower handset direct into a rubber band, exploding with a long and loose barrel that covers the whole zone. Notably physical, he has high-end bat speed paired with incredible strength at the point of contact helping give him 70 raw power that plays to all fields. An aggressive hitter, he had steadily progressive discipline and decision-making markers that indicated a better than 40 hit tool; including an impressive wood bat track record. He's likely to always be a swing-and-miss candidate due to the length in the swing and necessary body control for his long levers, but the initial foundation for a high-ISO slugger who peaks in the middle-of-the-order is present. Defensively, he is fine at the hot corner with a strong and accurate arm behind them, though he will have to stay with the pacing of the game as he gets deeper into development to stick and not swing to a less-premium corner. There are some medical markers and hit tool concerns that may cause stir and variable projection, but the offensive upside of a middle-of-the-order hitter who could slug 30+ home runs will carry the profile into serious prospect clout.
No. 139 Overall — Minnesota Twins
Selection: Steele Murdock
Position/School: RHP, UC San Diego
Analysis:
Murdock took a loud summer in the Cape Cod into Friday night duties for San Diego where he held his own against the likes of Logan Reddemann and Jackson Flora. His fastball sits 92-95 and he can find 97-99 at random gassed up moments, with good life in the zone but his lack of feel to locate left a few too many cookies. His mid 80s slider is an out pitch with tight, vertical break, flashing plus. He'll flip over an occasional show me curve in the upper 70s and a firm mid 80s changeup, both fringy at best at current. He has an effortful delivery with a whippy quick arm that can diminish his control and command, which fall below-average and create relief risk and projection. He has a pure power arsenal and will have to improve how to land it to get to his notable relief upside, with some ninth-inning projection.
No. 140 Overall — Pittsburgh Pirates
Selection: Ryan Marohn
Position/School: LHP, North Carolina State
Analysis:
Marohn was a touted Virginia prep who got popped by Cleveland in the 20th in 2023, but landed on campus in Raleigh where he became a three-year starter with a strong performance track record, though he missed scattered time in his draft-eligible season with a flurry of general soreness injuries. His fastball sits 90-93 and grabs 95 while playing up with his ability to spot it and create life at the top of the zone. He can be north-south dominant living a bit on the fastball, but will sell an active changeup with deadening life in the low to mid 80's, while flashing plus as a true out pitch. He has a pair of breakers with a low 80's slider with prototypical shape, and a loopier upper 70's curveball, with both being change-of-pace and differing shape offerings. He is a solid on-mound athlete who has a fluid, repeatable delivery that helps him fill the zone and locate with ease. There is pitchability and four pitches that create a rotation projection, while some physical/velocity gains could add a half grade to his back-of-the-rotation projection.
No. 141 Overall — Los Angeles Angels
Selection: Jaxon Willits
Position/School: SS, Oklahoma
Analysis:
Willits has been the starting shortstop at Oklahoma since arriving on campus with the only threat of losing that job being the potential of his younger brother stealing it away, but alas, he went first overall in 2025 taking away a potentially challenging decision for their father, who is an associate coach and former big-leaguer. A switch-hitter -- who is a bit more fluid from the left side -- he is content on making contact to all fields. He can cut off his extension and doesn't swing with much intent with a flatter plane, but even with a shift to swinging harder, wouldn't project for much power; while showing average raw and seeing the hit tool be the standout. There is some polish in his decision making, staying in the zone with swing decisions and waiting out his pitch to drive to the gaps. A quicker runner underway, he has short burst speed and is about an above-average runner who is an instinctual base stealer and will take the extra bag with frequency. The same quick feet help him in the middle infield where he has fine actions and average arm strength that should allow him to move around the infield and stay at shortstop long enough to profile as his listed position at peak. Whether it is by lazy nature or not, the overall package and look is very similar to a dirt version of his father who played parts of six seasons as a fourth outfielder, and the outcome for Jaxon should probably be superior by a margin; though on the dirt and with at least one home run in the bigs at some point. There's some high-floor utility characteristics that should play into his outcome.
No. 142 Overall — Baltimore Orioles
Selection: Jimmy Anderson
Position/School: SS, Heartland JC (IL)
Analysis:
Anderson got popped by Baltimore in the 19th-round last year, but opted to return to Heartland JC (Ill.) where he continued putting up video game numbers and upping his stock while showing strength gains. A righthanded hitter, he has a natural coil and spring load into a big rubber band before firing with a line drive cut. He swings with some violence and will get under the ball a bit too often, but his ability to get the ball airborne to his pull side gives some faith into tapping into his average raw power with production similar. The swing itself may see some struggles against superior arms, though his approach is to keep the offense running with some balance. Defensively, he should see his development start at shortstop where he is a fair defender with solid foot speed and arm strength, though not as much twitchy athleticism as the prototypical pro shortstop which likely leads to a future at second or third base. There are tools here to see a future everyday infielder, though it will come with some development attention to the swing and getting to the upside. He is committed to Kentucky if he opts not to sign, where he would be a junior with limited leverage as a third-time draftee.
No. 143 Overall — Athletics
Selection: Alex Hernandez
Position/School: 3B, Georgia Tech
Analysis:
Hernandez was a touted two-way Georgia prep who made it to campus at Georgia Tech and had a loud freshman year that earned him ACC FOY honors, and he backed it up with a louder sophomore-eligible season as one of the top offensive producers for one of the top offenses all spring. A right-handed hitter, he has a prototypical power swing with strength behind a longer barrel and steep plane that he has worked to shorten up and stay more compact with over the spring. He has notable strength scattered throughout his 6-foot-2 frame and high-end bat speed that helps him tap into his plus raw power and drive the ball to all fields, with a tendency to mistakenly inside-out pitches 300-400 feet the other way. While it is power-over-hit, there is enough semblance of decision making and adjustments to see a fringy, approach-based hit tool come around. He swings-and-misses in-zone at a clip that needs to come down, while breakers can create chase, but there are progressive markers indicating improvements in each category and enough chance to hit to get to his power upside. It may be a variable hit tool through-and-through, but enough feel to believe it won't be problematic in development. He has swung around the field over his college career, mixing time between all non-premium homes with no real location to call his defensive home. He has a plus arm that helped make him a touted pitching prospect out of high school that could fit in right field or third base where he's seen some time, but he is a fringy defender overall at both positions and doesn't seem to have the foot speed to handle second base; leading to a potential emergency left fielder or first base landing spot. A lot up in the air on the defense. If all falls apart, the arm talent is worth mentioning a mound future as an emergency fallback where he's been up to the mid 90's with a good breaker which helped him in six short relief stints in college. There is power upside here and enough hit tool to believe in getting to it and building a solid big-league future, though he'll need to find a real defensive home.
No. 144 Overall — Atlanta Braves
Selection: Wil Libbert
Position/School: LHP, Mississippi
Analysis:
Libbert was a touted Missouri prep who saw a fluky incident turn into Tommy John surgery and a late start to his collegiate career that led to a transfer from Missouri to Ole Miss and a swing role while revamping some pitch shapes and mechanics. His fastball sits 95-96 and will touch 98, while the liveliness of the heater has improved but still needs fine tuning to be more than a power graded plus fastball. Touching up his arm side breakers, he has added a mid 80's cutter as a bridge pitch (with good initial returns) between his natural fastball and low 80's slider that will flash above-average with some slurve tendencies. His changeup is inconsistent but could turn into a fair third or fourth pitch. He's a relatively easy mover on the mound with a simplistic delivery that he has reworked to be more compact and have a higher arm slot to help create some new angles and pitch designs; though the results -- and particularly the command -- haven't come as quickly as anticipated leading to more emphasis on relief risk. There's plenty of arm talent here with quality pure stuff, but without a true weapon against right handers and middling or fringy control, he may become a power reliever from the left side who gets to some high-leverage upside.
No. 145 Overall — Tampa Bay Rays
Selection: Owen Kramkowski
Position/School: RHP, Arizona
Analysis: TBD
No. 146 Overall — St. Louis Cardinals
Selection: Cal Randall
Position/School: RHP, UCLA
Analysis:
Randall possesses one of the best heaters in the class. His fastball made a jump this spring in velocity terms, going from sitting 95-97 to firmly sitting 98-99 and grabbing 101; and while the raw velocity alone make it a plus pitch, it has loads of life at the top of the zone and he creates elite extension getting the ball to the plate in a bigger hurry than it already does making it a near 80 heater. His secondaries are more fringy and power based with a firm upper 80s changeup and short upper 80s cut/slider. He is an explosive mover on the mound who gets down with excellence with enough delivery and athletic markers to have some starter development fans; but those dwindled as his control remained below-average with little feel to improve aside from overpowering in the zone. He will have to prove he's more than a one trick pony but the fastball will get him to the bigs in relief, and in a hurry, with clear ninth inning upside.
No. 147 Overall — Miami Marlins
Selection: Trey Beard
Position/School: LHP, Florida State
Analysis:
Beard is a metrically enticing southpaw who creates rarely seen angles that helped him to three years of solid rotation performance, his final coming with Florida State. His fastball sits 90-91 and gets to 95 but plays up heavily due to the angle he creates from an extreme over-the-top release that brings near-elite vertical break, sitting between 20-25 inches and peaking at 27'' IVB. The arm angle and arm speed also help create incredible shape and velocity separation with his changeup which falls off the table in the mid-to-upper 70's, making it a plus offering with similarly unique traits to the heater. He has blended a pair of breaking balls over the years with a high-arching curveball in the mid 70's and a slider in a slightly higher velocity bucket that is more of a top-down breaker; with both breaking balls grading out fairly. He has done a good job of filling the zone and should be an average or better strike thrower with physical gains helping him to repeatability. His arm slot and release point gives him rarely seen angles from the left side, arguably only seen from Matthew Liberatore though with differing power. With four pitches, one being a solid out pitch, an ability to repeat with track record, there is notable rotation upside here in the direction of a No. 3/4 divide, and his angles will make him an alluring prospect for all development groups who will want to work with and tap into.
No. 148 Overall — Arizona Diamondbacks
Selection: LJ Mercurius
Position/School: RHP, Oklahoma
Analysis: TBD
No. 149 Overall — Texas Rangers
Selection: Michael Anderson Jr.
Position/School: TWP, Penn State
Analysis: TBD
No. 150 Overall — San Francisco Giants
Selection: Luke Nixon
Position/School: 2B, North Carolina State
Analysis:
Nixon is a smaller, hitterish infielder who has been a table-setter for NC State since arriving on campus. A left-handed hitter, he has a simple line drive swing that he can manipulate to shoot the ball to all fields. His size limits his punch in the box and though he'll sneak a few balls out pull side, it is well below-average power projection. An aggressive hitter, he eased up on some swing decisions this spring to show a more rounded decision making, though he will still go out of the zone for contact; and despite the chase, he is a rare swing-and-miss candidate. He is an average runner with some quick-burst energy that helps him range well at second where his defensive home will likely sit. He is the son of former 12-year big-leaguer Trot. While he doesn't possess an impact tool, it's an advanced feel to hit, run and field giving him a relatively high-floor that should push him through development quickly.
No. 151 Overall — Kansas City Royals
Selection: Ethan McElvain
Position/School: LHP, Arkansas
Analysis:
McElvain was a touted Nashville-based prep who stayed in town for college at Vanderbilt where he split duties for two years before transferring to Arkansas for his draft eligible season where he established himself as one of the top lefty relievers in the nation. His fastball has special traits, sitting 93-96 and touching 98 in shorter stints, playing up with elite carry as a bat missing weapon throughout the zone, particularly on the upper rail. He mostly scrapped his softer breaking balls this past spring in lieu for a harder cutter in the upper 80's upwards of 91-92 with solid life. He has shown some feel for an upper 70's downer curveball in the past; while his low 80's slider has essentially just turned into his cutter that is an above-average offering. He also had a changeup in the past, but it is long distanced from his current state. His delivery was cleaned up a bit this past spring with a more compact arm stroke from a higher release, which enhanced his strike throwing substantially, though it remains fringy control. While he currently show two potentially plus pitches with fringy command, teams could lean back to getting him to a third or fourth or fifth offering and into a starter development; though his most likely outcome will be as a high-tempo reliever with leverage upside with a Kenny Powers aptitude. His brother Chris is a Blue Jays rotation prospect.
No. 152 Overall — New York Mets
Selection: Luke McNeillie
Position/School: RHP, Florida
Analysis: TBD
No. 153 Overall — Houston Astros
Selection: Gavin Eddy
Position/School: RHP, California
Analysis: TBD
No. 154 Overall — Cincinnati Reds
Selection: Dylan Bowen
Position/School: SS, Hanover Central HS
Analysis: TBD
No. 155 Overall — Cleveland Guardians
Selection: Lucas Moore
Position/School: OF, Louisville
Analysis:
Moore was Team USA's center fielder over the summer after leading Division-1 in stolen bags and continued to show his speed and defensive traits during his draft-eligible season, though with his bat taking a minor step backwards. A lefthanded hitter, he has a slash-and-dash cut that saw more line drive tendencies this spring causing some mixed opinions on what has been plus contact skills. Power is not part of his game with maybe 30-raw and a swing, approach and frame that doesn't indicate more is to come. A selective hitter, he saw more whiffs this spring adding to the questions about if a swing alteration may be hindering his contact skills. A borderline 80 runner, he is an aggressive base stealer who has a constant green light and adds value on the bases. The overall package screams leadoff future. His 7/8 speed is used well on the basepaths and on the grass where he is a super rangy defender in center field who tracks everything with ease and closes at an excellent rate; while his feel for the position make him a plus defender already and potential impact glove. The lack of impact with the bat causes some ceiling concerns but the contact, speed and glove create a high-floor and could settle into a strong side platoon leadoff future.

No. 160 Overall — New York Yankees
Selection: Bear Harrison
Position/School: C, Texas A&M
Analysis: TBD
No. 161 Overall — Philadelphia Phillies
Selection: Will Gasparino
Position/School: OF, UCLA
Analysis:
Gasparino was a touted prep who landed at Texas for two seasons before heading home to UCLA via the portal where he unlocked a new gear with the bat while still showing his athletic tools. A righthanded hitter, he has gone through plenty of tweaks to better engage his long levers with a frame quite similar to Kawhi Leonard and found some more athletic freedom in the box this spring that helped his hit tool grab a full grade or better. His size and leverage assist in getting to his plus-plus raw power with ease with power to all fields and moonshots when pulling the ball and potential for 30+ seasons as the hit tool and approach approve. His levers allow him to hit balls well out of the zone and he will expand to drive the ball, but most believe just because he has the current ability doesn't mean he will against next level pitching; and his swing gains length as his levers come through the operation creating plenty of swing-and-miss. How much body and swing control he gains through development will dictate what kind of upside he really gets to but even with a fringe hit tool there is impact. A plus flatline runner, he mans center field with ease and shows impressive athleticism allowing him to make acrobatic adjustments most players his size can't; leading to a projected center field future, potentially as an impact defender. He is one of the more polarizing players in the class due to the levers and size but the upside is notable here and he is beloved by scouts for his makeup and baseball aptitude. He is the son of Los Angeles Dodgers assistant general manager Billy.

Round 6
No. 165 Overall — Colorado Rockies
Selection: Garrett Lambert
Position/School: RHP, Mercer
Analysis: TBD
No. 166 Overall — Chicago White Sox
Selection: Alex Weingartner
Position/School: OF, St. Augustine Prep HS (NJ)
Analysis:
Weingartner is a high-end prep athlete who went from being a projectable power pitcher to becoming an enticing position player with impact tools over the course of the winter and spring. There is little argument that he is an 80-runner in a straight line and his speed will create havoc on the base paths and in the field. He has played some shortstop and his quick burst and plus arm may allow him to stick on the left side dirt but he can man center field well and control the game with his arm from the grass just as well. For as solid an athlete he is, he can get rigid in the box and has length in his load and swing. When his timing and pacing is on, he can find the barrel with some explosiveness and tap into his physicality and bat speed. His swing is conducive to getting to his power; so as long as his hit tool stays anywhere above a 40, he should have power-speed impact offensively as a double-digit home run and stolen base producer. On the mound, he has some power arm upside, sitting 92-94 with his fastball that hits 96. There is some feel to spin a pair of breaking balls and a changeup in the bag giving him four pitches, though his general control is well below-average and only athletic markers as indicators of improving. Regardless, there is two-way fallback and the mound is not a forgone end game. You can dream heavily on the athleticism and on impactful speed and power, though it will take patience to get to the final product. He is committed to Penn State, where his brother played and was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals in the eighth round in 2025.
No. 167 Overall — Washington Nationals
Selection: Cooper Allen
Position/School: RHP, UNC Wilmington
Analysis: TBD
No. 168 Overall — Minnesota Twins

No. 170 Overall — Los Angeles Angels
Selection: Justin Byrd
Position/School: RHP, Georgia
Analysis: TBD
No. 171 Overall — Baltimore Orioles
Selection: Zane Adams
Position/School: LHP, Alabama
Analysis:
Adams has been a known pitchability commodity for some time now, and had some early day two run last spring but pulled his name from the card and returned to Alabama posting the best year of his three as a full-time rotation man. His fastball saw a nice uptick this spring, going from the low 90's to sitting 92-94 and touching 96 with some late armside life. His cambio is arguably his best secondary as a big separator from the heat, about 10-15 mph gap, on a linear line that he can steal strikes with and alter pace. His upper 70's 12-6 curveball can miss bats and should give him a second average off-speed, while he has recently added a cut-slide piece with fair initial manipulation markers and bridge between his fastball and other secondaries. An easy operator on the mound, he has solid pace and feel to repeat his delivery aiding to quality strike throwing; though he was nationally exposed (Eduardo Perez, ESPN) for tipping his pitches in the College World Series, so there could be some mechanical tweaks ahead. While he doesn't possess a real above-average bat-missing offering, he has a trio of average pitches and solid feel to locate which should give him a rotation future at the next level and backend rotation upside.
No. 172 Overall — Athletics
Selection: Alex Sosa
Position/School: C, Miami
Analysis:
Sosa was a touted Florida prep who spent two years at NC State before transferring to Miami as a bat-first backstop. A left-handed hitter, he has a simple operation with a quick line drive stroke that has become more balanced over the spring. He has solid bat speed with a lofty bat path and is strong in his lower half, helping him tap into his average or better power that should translate to high-teen or 20+ annual over-the-fencers at his peak. There are progressive markers to cutting down his swing-and-miss, but not enough to believe whiffs won't be a part of his game with hopes of high walk rates countering and completing a power-over-hit profile that fits the back third of a lineup. He is a fine defender behind the plate who does everything well but not great, with quiet hands and some mobility, though his fringy arm may limit his ability to control the game from a defensive perspective. He should stick behind the plate giving him positional value with the bat, while he has enough power from the strong side of a platoon to get some daily reps at his peaks and likely ride the pine against southpaws.
No. 173 Overall — Atlanta Braves
Selection: Tyson Grulkowski
Position/School: RHP, Muskego HS (WI)
Analysis: TBD
No. 174 Overall — Tampa Bay Rays
Selection: Kyle Johnson
Position/School: LHP, Virginia
Analysis:
Johnson is a standout two-way that was part of the seven player exodus that followed Chris Pollard from Duke to Virginia, with plenty of upside on the mound. His fastball sits 91-94 and touches 98 with good zip through the zone. He can manipulate the shape of a breaking ball with improvements on separating break on his slider and curveball that both sit in the upper 70's and adding some power to his slider to turn it into a shorter cutter in the upper 80's. His changeup may be the best of his secondaries as a mid 80's cambio with quality armside action. He is a strong on-mound athlete who has shown some feel to repeating which are markers to see improved control and command as he places a focus on pitching only. He has a deceptive, compact delivery with explosive drive. As a hitter, he has a stiff setup and swing that is solely geared for damage that creates impressive hard contact, but unsustainable swing-and-miss, while he is a fair defensive outfielder with a strong arm. His future is on the mound with teams banking on a four-pitch mix and on-mound athleticism to see a notable arm upside that has a non-zero rotation outocme as he focuses solely on pitching at the next level.

No. 176 Overall — Miami Marlins
Selection: Cole Selvig
Position/School: RHP, Minnesota
Analysis: TBD
No. 177 Overall — Arizona Diamondbacks
Selection: Micah Worley
Position/School: LHP, SUNY Stony Brook
Analysis:
Worley is a tall and physical on-mound project that went from a low-inning count transfer from Modesto JC (Cal.) to Stony Brook's Friday starter this spring in his draft-eligible. His fastball sits in the low 90's throughout workloads but will sit 92-95 in short outings and has peaked at 98. The pitch plays up due to its life at the top of the zone and carry coming from a higher 3/4 release. He throws his breaking ball pairing with confidence, with a tight slider with middling sweep in the low-to-mid 80's and a softer vertical curve in the upper 70's. He also has a changeup in the bag, though it is rarely utilized. His delivery traits give him some separation in projection, with a low-effort delivery that he repeats well and can slow down the pacing on to stay on a line, helping him to near-average generalized control. He gets down the mound well and has plenty of arm talent projection despite being near his physical caps. The current state is likely to be far-removed from the future state, while his fastball-curveball combination create some relief floor, the delivery and mechanical quirks paired with his size make him an enticing starter project.

Selection: Eric Nachtsheim
Position/School: RHP, McNeese State
Analysis: TBD
No. 180 Overall — Kansas City Royals
Selection: Justin LeGuernic
Position/School: LHP, Clemson
Analysis:
Leguernic is a low slinging power armed southpaw with three years track record of missing bats in relief with Clemson. His fastball has unique traits while sitting 93-96 with some ability to hold velocity deep into outings. He fires from a lower 3/4 slot which helps him create armside life, while he can get behind the ball and create notable carry, adding a half grade to the natural velocity and life as a plus heater. He pairs the heat with a big power sweeper in the mid 80's that darts across the zone and dives below the zone as a second plus offering to his arsenal. He will lob in an occasional firm changeup to right-handers, but it is a distant third offering. He has a high-tempo delivery that has fluidity through the operation but he can get loose with his release creating some fringy control. While his starting track record is limited, there is projection in the frame and at least signs of a three-pitch arsenal to squint a starter development with a high-leverage relief outcome, letting his two plus pitches play late in games.

Position/School: RHP, Wake Forest
Analysis: TBD
No. 184 Overall — Cleveland Guardians
Selection: Deiten Lachance
Position/School: C, Oklahoma
Analysis:
Lachance is a moose-sized, Canadian-born backstop with incredible power who earned a starting role at Oklahoma this spring after two years with McLennan CC (Tex.). A right-handed hitter, he has a noisy, rhythmic load that has seen some alterations over the past few years; though while keeping consistent ever-moving pumps into an explosive rip. He has incredible hand speed and wrist strength that helps him adjust on the fly and give a little more faith to his feel to hit, which simmers around fringy. He has excellent bat speed paired with strength scattered throughout his 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame which in turn creates above-average to plus raw power; though his ability to get to it came in question with a flatter bat path -- though it must be noted, he hit 15 home runs in his final 28 games after going homerless in his first 31. He is aggressive in the box and has a swing meant for damage which has led to plenty of chase and swing-and-miss, though the frame and power carry the offensive profile here. Defensively, he is a good receiver with a plus arm that controls the running game with ease. His size can create some lateral flaws as opposed to anything longitudical (not a word), if we're referring to north-south-east-west, but not enough to believe he can't stick at the position long term. The physical tools give him notable upside where he could be a power-hitting backstop who gets frequent playing time at a premium home during his peaks and floating a variable 50-grade after early development/performance wouldn't be surprising.
No. 185 Overall — Boston Red Sox
Selection: Brett Lanman
Position/School: LHP, Abilene Christian
Analysis:
Lanman has been one of the more reliable arms in the WAC where he has performed well as a three-year starter for Abilene Christian. His fastball sits in the low 90's but plays up due to it's notable ride with 19" IVB and how quickly it gets on hitters thanks to elite extension. While none of his secondaries grade out heavily as true out pitches, he creates differing shapes with a low 80's cutter-slider variance, a middling changeup in the same velocity bucket, and vertical curve in the upper 70's; giving him shapes in all four directions. He has a simple delivery with a compact arm stroke helping him to near-average control, and gets down the mound as well as anyone with elite extension, upwards of 7 feet. He has an impressive frame at 6-foot-5 and 230+ pounds of strength, making him a prime candidate to eat innings where he can develop a more true out pitch from his secondaries. There's tools to see an inning-eating, backend rotation arm, and you don't have to squint too hard.
No. 186 Overall — San Diego Padres
Selection: Nu'u Contrades
Position/School: SS, Arizona State
Analysis:
Contrades has been in prospect circles for some time as a touted Hawaiian-prep who landed in Tempe and has been a performer for the last two years while seeing his stock rise with a power uptick this spring as a redshirt-junior. He has a twitchy, rhythmic operation from the right side where it looks like he just pumped a Red Bull and is ready to explode, though with the jittery looking setup, he's regularly on time and in a strong hitting posture when he swings, which is frequent, and makes contact, which is also frequent. He's started to pull the ball in the air more and is tapping into some of his compact strength, with his metrics and over-fence numbers seeing a heavy climb and now grading out as fringe or better projection. He has a hyper aggressive approach and swings early-and-often; and with some balance to the approach and improved pitch selection, he could be a well-rounded hitter who hits for average and some pop. The bat will be the carrying tool as he is a high-energy runner and defender (at second and third base) who likes to steal bases and get to the ball in a hurry; though the run, glove and arm are mostly average to a hair better. His stock will take a hit due to being on the elder side of the junior class at 22-years-old but the tools and playing style create an archetype of a future utility who swings around the dirt outside of shortstop and maybe(?) left field, while continual growth of the bat and an isolation of positional development -- whether second or third -- can create a multi-year regular at peak; or in short, big-league value for an extended time.

No. 190 Overall — Philadelphia Phillies
Selection: Macon Winslow
Position/School: C, North Carolina
Analysis:
Winslow is a rounded toolset backstop who transferred to North Carolina for his draft-eligible season after two years at Duke and split catching duties while tapping into his offensive tools. He has a quick and compact swing from the right side that covers the zone well, with fair bat-to-ball skills. When he catches the ball out front, he can do damage and tap into his average or better raw power which should translate to teen count home run totals. He's improved his decision making in the box with middling swing-and-miss and may see his patience outweigh his hit tool adding to his archetype profile of a power-patience backstop from the offensive perspective. Defensively, he is a fine catcher who receives well and will run above-average pop times, with little doubt of his long term ability to stick at the position. While it isn't flashy, there is a direct route to the a backup or split-duty backstop projection here and positional value.
No. 191 Overall — Seattle Mariners
Selection: Henry Ford
Position/School: 3B, Tennessee
Analysis:
Ford is a power upside slugger who was eligible as a sophomore last year with rounds 2-4 chatter, though clubs didn't match whatever number he got floated to transfer from Virginia to Tennessee; while his year with the Vols helped him retain similar draft stock. A right-handed hitter, he progressively got more athletic and rhythmic in the box this spring, taking away some of the rigid and forced tension in his line drive cut. There is still notable rubber band effect here with quality bat speed, loads of strength packed behind the swing in his physical frame and ability to utilize it giving him plus or better raw power that he tries to get to with frequency to his pull side. He is an aggressive hitter who is looking to do damage pull side on most swings, while improved swing decisions should allow him to get to his power more frequently and enhance an already fair hit tool. The approach needs to tone down a tad, but there is a fair balance of 50's in the projection bag, with good feel for the barrel and loads of raw power to get to, creating plenty of offensive upside towards the middle of an order. Defensively, he has swung around the corners and even moonlighted in center field over the summer with reasonable returns in the outfield to believe he'll have a future at one of the grass corners. He has played third base, though with less than modest returns and belief he'd add more defensive value on the less premium dirt corner, giving more credence to him landing on the corner grass through early development. Teams are buying on the bat here hoping he can stick in the outfield, but there is middle-of-the-order prowess with the bat with some development quirks.

No. 202 Overall — Atlanta Braves
Selection: Jack Brenner
Position/School: C, Fond du Lac HS (WI)
Analysis:
Brenner is a versatile, hitterish athlete who was a summer circuit standout. He has a quick and direct swing from the right side, paired with well above-average bat-to-ball skills that allow him to spray the ball to all fields. He rarely swings-and-misses and will put together tough battles at the plate while staying around the zone with his swing decisions, only chasing as part of his ball placement operation (will chase high out of zone to slap ball over head of infielders). He regularly finds the barrel and can leave the park thanks to the snappiness of his swing, though he currently has below-average power due to the swing mechanics and projects as fringe-at-best without any mechanical or approach alterations. A solid athlete with above-average speed and a plus arm, Brenner can and has played all over the field. As a catcher, his plus arm and quick release control the running game with sub 2.0 pop times, though he has a raw foundation and mobility, playing out of a crouch at times. He can look unorthodox and scattered on the dirt, though his arm would play well on the left side of the infield. The offensive tools, athleticism and versatility potential make him an alluring utility project with multi-use big-league upside. He is committed to Oklahoma.

No. 205 Overall — Miami Marlins
Selection: Eric Guevara
Position/School: SS, Auburn
Analysis:
Guevara is a Panama-born infielder who has been a solid offensive producer and value defender for Auburn the last two years. He has an unorthodox look from the right side with an open stance and low handset, but is direct and efficient into his spring board and swing with high-end feel for the barrel. Most of his power comes from the barrel accuracy and steep swing plane to get the ball airborne, and should simmer around fringe-to-average in the long haul, high teen home run totals near his peaks. An aggressive hitter, he puts the game in motion with frequency with middling swing-and-miss and middling swing decisions that will have to improve to enhance his overall offensive profile of a contact-heavy hitter with sneaky pop. Defensively, he mans the hot corner well with good hands and a strong, accurate arm. There are tools to carry some prospect clout and into a future big-league role, though it may lean more towards a bench future without a grade gain in any particular direction.

Selection: Caden Aoki
Position/School: RHP, Georgia
Analysis: TBD
No. 208 Overall — San Francisco Giants
Selection: Beau Bryans
Position/School: LHP, Jacksonville State
Analysis:
Bryans is an undersized priority power armed senior who concluded his fifth consecutive season of draft eligibility. Seeing progressive velocity gains over the past half decade, his fastball now sits 94-95 and can touch 98 with notable sinking life due to his lower sidearm release. He pairs his heater with a short, upper 80's slider with countering break, giving him a bat-missing east-to-west profile. There is a changeup in the bag that will flash some depth, though it is rarely utilized. He works from the far first base side of the rubber and fires with a slingy, lower sidearm slot creating some extreme angles to the plate, and making him a particularly challenging look for lefties with the ball coming in from behind their hips. His control will come-and-go despite some ability to repeat his unorthodox delivery that ends with some quarterback action and an athletic finish, but it will likely remain inconsistent control because of how the odd mechanics help create his successes. He is likely physically peaked, so the now product could be the final product with some pitch shaping and command improvements needed to reach his upside as more than a lefty isolation relief specialists; though the angles he creates with power could make him a priority lefty specialist that carves a quiet path to the bigs for an extended career.

No. 212 Overall — Cincinnati Reds
Selection: Sherman Johnson
Position/School: 3B, North Carolina State
Analysis:
Johnson is a well-rounded infielder who transferred to NC State for his draft-eligible year. A right-handed hitter, much of his operation is fundamental and sound with solid bat-to-ball skills and feel for the barrel. Most of his power comes from natural contact order where he has a consistently direct barrel with solid bat speed and let's his natural strength and swing do the work to produce hard contact to all fields. He can expand the zone at times, but limits his swing-and-miss and has an approach that leans to putting the ball in play and game in motion. There's some balancing opinions on the generalized offensive tool projection here between a 55/45 or 50/50 hit/power split, but enough in the toolbox to believe both will translate into production at the next level. An above-average runner, he is quick out of the box and a savvy baserunner adding some value. His foot speed and footwork make him an impressive defender at third base where his above-average arm strength and actions should turn him into a better-than-average defender at the hot corner. He also has spent some time in the outfield where he plays just fine defensively. There is a mix of polish and upside in the tools, and while not overtly flashy, that should balance out to an everyday third baseman who hits at an average clip. Of note, he is not a relative of former big-leaguer and current White Sox hitting coordinator Sherman Johnson.
No. 213 Overall — Cleveland Guardians
Selection: Savion Sims
Position/School: RHP, Prestonwood Christian HS (TX)
Analysis: TBD
No. 214 Overall — Boston Red Sox
Selection: Kide Adetuyi
Position/School: LHP, Florida Atlantic
Analysis:
Adetuyi was a pop-up prep arm in Florida who missed his freshman season at Florida Atlantic while recovering from Tommy John but returned with impressive off-speed over his next two seasons. His fastball sits 89-92 and will peak around 93 while playing up with his ability to get down the mound and hide the ball, though it is mostly a fringe-average heater. His low 80's sweeper is a real weapon with high spin and action, showing impressive sweep and depth while firing east-west across the zone and darting below it for whiffs. His changeup in the same velocity bucket as the breaker gives him an armside weapon against right handers, with solid fade. He'll have to sell his pitches better, pacing up for heat and having more deliberation with his secondaries. He is a solid mover on the mound who slings from a lower slot creating plenty of deception that plays well to his ability to change speed and shape. He does a fair job of filling the zone and has solid feel to locate his breaking ball, but may need better fastball command and and a lesser effort to profile as a starter at the next level. A redshirt sophomore who is aged young for the junior class, he has some signability leverage, but may be too hard to pass on with two solid bat missers and a middling chance at a backend rotation future with some sustainable physical gains ahead
No. 215 Overall — San Diego Padres
Selection: Joe Tiroly
Position/School: 2B, Virginia
Analysis:
Tiroly put up program record performances over two years with Rider that led to being named Metro Atlantic Conference Player of the Year in 2025 and an eventual transfer to Virginia where he carried his loud offensive tools into more tested waters. A right-handed hitter, he has a long and steep cut with a high back elbow and handset that creates nasty whip through the zone; and while it isn't the prettiest cut he is regularly on time and on plane with the barrel putting up gaudy exits. A physical hitter, his swing is aggressive and when timed up, ready to do damage pull side with average or a tick better raw power. He's kept his swing decisions in zone while being tested by ACC arms and retained his moderate swing-and-miss, adding some credence to a balanced offensive toolset. The swing, or triggers, may grab some development attention to lessen the steep attack. The bat carries the profile here where he is an average runner with a serviceable glove at second; and hopefully enough to keep him there as the pace increases without the prototypical above-average offensive profile that suits first base where he would be a smaller target from cross dirt throws. There is enough bat here to project as a future bench or peak regular at second base, though a negative shift in the athletic tools would need to see a counter balance of positive shift in the offensive tools.
No. 216 Overall — Detroit Tigers
Selection: Brady Ballinger
Position/School: 1B, Kansas
Analysis:
Ballinger transferred from JC of Southern Nevada to Kansas for his sophomore campaign where he broke out in a big way as arguably the best offensive performer in the Big 12, but that same performance stalled during his draft-eligible season in 2026 where his power diminished and his stock hit a snag. He has unique swing mechanics from the left side where he has a large leg kick while dropping his front elbow almost to knee contact, placing his back elbow almost exaggeratively high creating a steep plane. The unorthodox movements haven't taken away from his ability to stay compact in his swing or diminish his contact skills. Despite his power production seeing a 30-40% drop-off, the swing plane and physical frame behind the swing give him average or better power projection. A near-passive hitter, he rarely expands the zone and will happily take his walks; giving him some on-base prowess. He is a limited defender and runner who should be serviceable, if not fine, at first base. There is undeniable upside in the offensive package of a patient, contact-hitter with a strong build, but he needs to piece all the tools together to tap into that upside.
No. 217 Overall — Chicago Cubs
Selection: Cole Tryba
Position/School: LHP, UC Santa Barbara
Analysis:
Tryba is an undersized low slinging southpaw who has been a three-year producer for Santa Barbara, splitting multi-inning relief and closing roles. His fastball sits 90-93 with scattered 94's coming in from a lower slot giving it some natural armside life, though he can stay behind the ball and ride it on the upper rail. He has a big sweeping slider in the upper 70's with more slurve traits that is his primary swing-and-miss offering; and he has recently bridged a cutter type slider in the mid-to-upper 80's with fair returns. His changeup is a rarely used offering but comes with value with notable fading life that can miss bats and make him effective against right handers. He is an impressive on-mound athlete who repeats his delivery well, slinging from a lower slot with a partially inverted arm action; and while he fills the zone and commands his fastball well, it may be hard to see these mechanics work over bulk innings. Around 6-foot with a sub 5.5 release height, he has remarkably similar size and release traits to Aaron Loup. Teams will likely send him out for a starter development with a non-zero chance of seeing his future in the rotation, though his size and mechanics with a limited starting track record lean to relief projection with high-leverage and late-inning upside.

No. 222 Overall — Toronto Blue Jays
Selection: Dean West
Position/School: OF, UCLA
Analysis:
West is a smaller outfielder who served as leadoff man for the Bruins and has table-setting upside. A lefthanded hitter, he has happy feet and twitchy rhythm in the box with a flatter line drive swing that snaps through the zone. His size and swing plane limit much of his power which simmers around below-average to fringe raw and likely won't be a big part of his game. A highly selective hitter who rarely expands the zone, he will draw plenty of walks and should carry his amateur leadoff profile into pro ball with the upside of a table-setter who floats the first spots on a professional lineup. Defensively, he is fine across the board at all three outfield positions where he uses his above-average speed to get to the ball quick and direct, though his limited arm strength may cause some limitations for center or right as more than a pinch defender at both. His speed, contact and patience create plenty of strong side platoon, table-setting projection who puts the game in motion.

Selection: Charlie West
Position/School: LHP, Connecticut
Analysis: TBD
Round 8
No. 224 Overall — Colorado Rockies
Selection: Hudson Barrett
Position/School: LHP, Oklahoma State
Analysis:
Barrett was a standout freshman for Santa Barbara, but a UCL tear and Tommy John surgery held him to just seven more innings with the Gauchos over the next two springs, leading to a transfer to Oklahoma State as an elder junior who still had some arm health concerns, but another impressive on-paper season similar to his freshman campaign. His fastball sits in the low 90's and touches 95 with decent life on the upper rail, playing up with his ability to get down the mound. He low 80's changeup supersedes his upper 70's breaker, both with middling shape/action and bat missing abilities. A tall and lanky pitcher, he stays compact through his motion and gets down the mound as well as anyone in the class aiding to his control and command projection which simmers just above average. There have been some minor pitch design tweaks, aided by Cowboys pitching coach Blake Hawksworth, but more will be needed to create a more true out pitch instead of relying on craft. Despite being on the elder side of the class, there is plenty of projection and development touches ahead here that lead to intriguing rotation upside; though he'll have to prove he can handle a workload with a clean bill of health.
No. 225 Overall — Chicago White Sox
Selection: Jayson Jones
Position/School: 3B, Wichita State
Analysis:
Jones was a touted Texas prep who struggled to make contact at Arkansas and Oklahoma State before finally landing at Wichita State and hitting .355 as a senior making him a deal-cutting target. A right-handed hitter, he was much freer in the box this past spring than in prior where he was once rigid in the box and while it isn't picturesque, the looseness in his setup may have aided some of his ability to make contact which was bottom-tier. The swing remains violent and is backed by incredible hand and bat speed behind a strong and physical frame that produces at least plus raw power. He remains a hyper aggressive hitter who is looking to do damage whenever possible, and an overhaul on swing decisions is needed to garner value in the bat. Defensively, he is a suitable corner defender who has spent time at third base and left field and plays fine, if not well, at both with a likely better outcome at third base where he has fair dirt actions and plus arm strength. Everything falls on how much the hit tool comes around and how often he can tap into his power, which creates an upside play on a senior hitter.

No. 229 Overall — Los Angeles Angels
Selection: Garrett Wright
Position/School: C, Tennessee
Analysis:
Wright spent two years with Bowling Green with his final ending in MAC Player of the Year honors and a transfer to Tennessee for his draft-eligible season where he missed time recovering from hamate surgery, but then went on to the be the most productive hitters for the Vols. He has excellent bat-to-ball skills from the right side and will line balls gap-to-gap with path adjustability, giving him an above-average pure hit tool. He will sneak a ball out on occasion but his lower-end bat speed and frame projection leave his power projection below-fringe with an expected full-season outcome in the single digits, maybe low double digits at his peaks. He is a hyper aggressive hitter who is constantly hunting early-count heat, which leads to some notable chase, though also comes with low swing-and-miss. Somewhat of an oddity, he has been hit by pitches 68 times in his first three years of college ball, or in statistical form, 10.4% of his plate appearances. This is a high-contact profile who will put the game in motion, who may need to learn how to utilize his above-average speed more efficiently. Defensively, he is listed primarily as a catcher but did not see time behind the plate this spring while recovering from hamate surgery on his receiving hand, pushing him to the outfield where he had limited previous experience and solid returns. In the outfield, primarily center, he ran good routes and showed solid closing speed, though his grass future likely lands in a corner. Behind the plate, he has quiet hands backed by a strong arm that limits the running game, and high-end mobility and athleticism. Most would have liked to have seen his catch against SEC opponents, and there is a divide on whether his defensive future is at backstop or the outfield. There is value in versatility here with plenty of contact in the box that leads to variable outcomes and projections, all pointing to a utility projection.

Selection: Rintaro Sasaki
Position/School: 1B, Stanford
Analysis:
Sasaki is one of the more popular names in the nation, as a touted Japanese prep who was bound for a high selection in the Nippon Draft, but instead elected to attend and play baseball stateside with Stanford creating waves across the international baseball industry. A lefthanded hitter, he has varied his setup and swing over the past two years going from a rhythmic coil that had a notable bat wrap to a more direct and torqued spring, both coming with explosion through the zone but one that saw less struggles with velocity. He is strong with serious bat speed that helps create plus raw power that he can get to whether by quick turns pull side or even with some push swing tendencies going the opposite gap, and should project for 20-25 annual over-the-fencers as his hit tool comes around. He stays in the zone with his swing decisions and will draw plenty of walks in the process, but has been tested by quality secondaries and has seen high swing-and-miss in-zone over the past two years. Defensively, he has been limited to first base while he has lost some athleticism as he filled out physically; though he has a solid arm that might be tested at the hot corner in development. There may be some prospect fatigue here, but the offensive tools are still present to expect some pro prospect clout and some strong side platoon projection if he can answer some hit tool questions.
No. 236 Overall — Arizona Diamondbacks
Selection: Paul Schoenfeld
Position/School: OF, West Virginia
Analysis:
Schoenfeld is one of the better outfield defenders in the country who got to highlight his skills with West Virginia as a fifth year senior after four years in the JUCO ranks with Colorado Mesa and Butler. A lefthanded hitter, he is loose and explosive with some athletic actions and fair contact skills. He has some explosivity at the point of contact with a more compact rip, though his size and near physical peak limit his power projection which hangs around below-average or fringe raw. He is an aggressive hitter who will battle in the box and limit his outs at the plate. There is enough bat here to let the defense carry some value. A plus runner, he is aggressive on the basepaths and in the outfield where he is a fearless defender who tracks like a free safety and closes like a linebacker. He is a solid athlete who will make acrobatic adjustments on the fly and should be at least a plus defender if not a high-impact defender who would warrant some voting rights if given the playing time. The glove will carry the profile but there is enough hitability to believe in reaching a Travis Jankowski or Sam Fuld type outcome, which will come at a significant discount as a fifth year senior giving him some interesting internal value for clubs.

No. 239 Overall — Kansas City Royals
Selection: Hunter Possehl
Position/School: LHP, Florida Gulf Coast
Analysis:
Possehl is a tall and lanky southpaw who gives lefty hitters fits with his challenging angles. His fastball sits 89-91 and touches 93-94 but plays up due to its lower sidearm slot that creates some armside life and a more horizontal plane. His low 80's sweeper flies on the heater plane and snaps in the opposite direction, exploding across and out of the zone to his glove side. He also has a changeup in the bag. A true sidearm slinger, he is a solid athlete with plenty of size and length to help him get down the mound well and is around a fringe-average strike thrower. There is plenty of room to fill in his frame, which could add some much needed power to his arsenal and sustainability to repeating his delivery. He may need to find differing shapes to avoid a flatter plane angle that wouldn't play well over extended outings, but there is a notable floor of lefty-isolation in mid-relief with a non-zero chance of a starter development.

Selection: Sean Fitzpatrick
Position/School: LHP, Arizona State
Analysis:
Fitzpatrick was an early eye raiser on the vertical approach angle spreadsheet but got tagged hard and often through his first three years of college and finally turned it around as a senior. His fastball plays up from it's modest velocity, sitting 90-94, because of the angle the ball takes from a lower slot and the extension he creates. The same can be said for his low 80's sweeper that has more horizontal shape and fires across the zone. His delivery is funky and deceptive, with some arm stab and firing from a lower release point while he has a hop-step enroute to the plate, ala lesser version Carter Capps or Jordan Walden. There is relief upside here, but it is solely a relief prospect who should isolate lefties with the unique angles he creates.
No. 246 Overall — Detroit Tigers
Selection: Robert Omidi
Position/School: 3B, St. Martin SS (ON)
Analysis:
Omidi is a bat-first prep infielder with some hitting upside. A lefthanded hitter, he has a short armed, compact cut that helps him be direct to the ball consistently. Well-filled, he has some middling bat speed and gets to his power more through natural contact than true slug; though will show some fair raw power in batting practice that should be average or better as he matures physically. He is a solid decision-maker and should see his offensive skillset balance out to produce at an average clip. Defensively, he is a shortstop by nature but doesn't show the athletic twitchiness needed for the premium home and may shift to second or third, or potentially left field where his actions would be more fitting. Buying on the bat here with a chance at letting it carry to an everyday future. He is committed to Kentucky.

No. 249 Overall — Philadelphia Phillies
Selection: Wyatt Danilowicz
Position/School: LHP, Louisville
Analysis:
Danilowicz is a priority senior after providing bat-missing value in a flurry of roles with Louisville over the past four years, not including missing his entire sophomore season with an injury. His fastball sits in the low 90's and peaks around 93-94 with impressive late life, making it a bat-misser despite it's middling velocity. His loopy, upper 70's top-down curveball misses plenty of bats as a north-south offering to pair off his heater; while his shorter slider gives him some horizontal break. His changeup is fringy, and works more as a short velo separator from his fastball. He has a quick-tempo delivery with a loose release which has aided some of his control, though it remains fringy with needed improvements to continue starting at the next level. He pitches with modest intent, quite similar to other Louisville arms, so there may be more power to the fastball coming which should aid to a low-floor mid-relief projection; while he should get a share of starts early in development that would enhance his prospect value.
No. 250 Overall — Seattle Mariners
Selection: Mason Eckelman
Position/School: C, Ohio State
Analysis:
Eckelman is a lefthanded hitting backstop who has some hitting chops. He has an unorthodox swing from the left side with a flatter barrel and trigger point, but fires through with a consistent line drive swing that leads to hard contact to the gaps. He is strong and finds it at contact, but simmers around fringe-average raw due to his swing plane and less intentful barrel. He is a fair defender behind the plate who should be able to stick, though with only modest returns and if the bat takes a step forward, he may swing to third base where his above-average arm strength could play. Mostly a depth catcher projection, but enough bat and stickability behind the plate to dream on a big league future deep into his career.

Selection: Kellan Tom
Position/School: 1B ,Corona Del Sol HS (AZ)
Analysis: TBD
No. 252 Overall — Toronto Blue Jays
Selection: Jake Bennett
Position/School: C, Dallas Baptist
Analysis:
Bennett is a priority senior thanks to his illustrious power and ability to get to it over two years with Dallas Baptist after transferring from San Jacinto JC (Tex.). A right-handed hitter, he has a noisy load with ever-moving hands that help him build momentum and force through the swing but also create questions about his ability to make frequent contact at the next level. He is a physically peaked hitter at 6-foot-2 and 230+ pounds, with a whippy bat and swing meant for damage which allows him to tap into his plus-plus raw power. With a variable hit tool, even below-average contact could translate into 20+ home runs at the next level. He will show patience despite his intentful rip, and has done a solid job of drawing walks, but will struggle with swing-and-miss. If he can harness his swing and be shorter to the ball, while still maintaining his explosive power, there is notable upside in the bat. He has caught and played the outfield in the past, but is mostly a hitter-only prospect who is likely destined for first base or potentially left field if he can't prove much defensive prowess early in his pro career. The power brings considerable upside for a senior target, and the pricetag may not match the potential prospect clout that follows to a boom-or-bust hitter that may move quickly to the mid-minors.

No. 256 Overall — Washington Nationals
Selection: Cashel Dugger
Position/School: C, UCLA
Analysis:
Dugger has been a three-year starter behind the plate for UCLA thanks to his defensive chops which has made him one of the priority gloves in the class. He is a rhythmic hitter from the left side with strong bat-to-ball skills though lacks much explosion and intent. While most of his power output has been purely contact-based, he has a strong frame and could get to fringy power. He stays in the zone with his swing decisions with an approach of putting the game in motion, which while not prototypical to his position, gives him enough bat to let his defense carry the profile. He is among the top defensive catching prospects in the class, if not the most superior due to his traits and ability to keep the game in front of him. He is a quiet receiver who can smother anything in the dirt and comes equipped with a plus arm, while receiving high praise for his ability to handle and lead an entire staff. The glovework alone will carry him deep into a high-floor depth role, while bat progression could aid into a strong side platoon option with a high-end outcome in the likes of a Tucker Barnhart or Reese McGuire, though the impact will have to come to see that; but regardless, he has enough value on the defensive side to earn everyday reps at the bottom of a lineup. He is the son of Rockies athletic trainer Keith Dugger.
No. 257 Overall — Minnesota Twins
Selection: JT Raab
Position/School: RHP, Georgetown
Analysis: TBD
No. 258 Overall — Pittsburgh Pirates
Selection: Tre Phelps
Position/School: 3B, Georgia
Analysis:
Phelps is a bat-first prospect who has been one of the most decorated hitters in college baseball over the last three seasons with a 3-4-5+ slash line each of his three years with the Bulldogs, including two with a 1.1+ OPS. A right-handed hitter, he has a relaxed and comfortable setup with a short, efficient load placing him in an outstanding hitting position from a lower launch angle. Strong with solid bat speed, he lets his all fields power come through natural order and should produce at an average or better clip, flipping 20-30 over-the-fencers regularly. He has a balanced approach at the plate and while he will chase breaking stuff on occasion, is a fairly polished hitter with 50's or better across the offensive tool sheet. While the bat has little questions, he has no real defensive home and has swung around all four corners to try and find one. He can probably get snuck, sneaked(?), into left field where his average speed and arm strength could help him track the routine fly balls but his overall defensive chops are fringy at best. The value is in the bat here which could fit the middle-of-an-order, though a right-handed designated hitter isn't the most appealing prospect so he'll have to find a defensive home to be more than just a bat; but, again, hitters will always have jobs, and he hits. He is the nephew of WNBA star Angel Robinson.

No. 260 Overall — Baltimore Orioles
Selection: Collin McKinney
Position/School: RHP, Arizona
Analysis: TBD
No. 261 Overall — Athletics
Selection: Tanner Marsh
Position/School: 2B, Liberty
Analysis:
Marsh is a glove-first shortstop who has started each game at short for Liberty since arriving on campus, and was named Conference-USA Player of the Year in 2026 after seeing an offensive spike. It's a simple, rhythmic operation from the right side with a reactionary swing and some rotational force. It's a low-impact bat with a fringy hit tool that may get some grade bumps with high BABIP marks and hits falling into non-defended pockets, while his power is below-average. His approach works and he makes contact and lets his plus speed do most of the work. The plus run tool works well on the basepaths where he is an aggressive baserunner who will take the extra bag. The calling card is his defense where he is a high-energy defender who ranges to both sides as well as anyone in the nation. It's polished glovework with the athleticism to adjust on the fly, backed by a strong and accurate arm. The glove will carry the profile while the bat will be a development focus to try and tap into some depth/bench upside where he can play anywhere on the dirt and put some pressure on the defense with his speed.
No. 262 Overall — Atlanta Braves
Selection: Parker Brosius
Position/School: OF, Georgia Tech
Analysis:
Brosius got a bit lost in the shuffle while flipping the offense from the nine-hole of the top offense in Division-1 as a senior who missed scattered time over the years with shoulder injuries. A rare righthanded hitter and lefthanded thrower, he has a simple coil and spring mechanism at the plate with impressive bat-to-ball skills. His swing is more deliberate which allows him to naturally tap into his average raw power, though he doesn't project to be much of a slugger. A patient and selective hitter, he went through grooves as a junior of being over aggressive that were corrected this spring and his pitch selection and whiffs climbed back to normal, lower clips. There is some purity in the offensive profile that fits the back end of a professional lineup. A solid average runner who will flirt with plus run grades underway, he is a fair glove in the outfield who should see development at all three spots and likely land as a utility grass man who gets more time in the corners. There are some big league tools here that will come at a senior discount making him a priority senior who could move quickly towards a low-value big league role.

No. 269 Overall — Kansas City Royals
Selection: Camden Johnson
Position/School: 3B, Oklahoma
Analysis:
Johnson has impact speed and athleticism that drives some serious draft stock after transferring from Wichita State to Oklahoma for his draft-eligible season. A left-handed hitter, he is simple in the box with a snappy rotational swing. There isn't much physicality, but enough bat speed and wiry strength to shoot balls over the fence on occasion, with low double-digit annual totals at his peaks; enough to keep pitcher honest. He's an aggressive hunter in the box who won't get cheated with a fastball, but will chase on quality secondaries; a mark that will need some fine-tuning to get to his throwback leadoff profile upside. He makes enough contact to put the game in motion and let his wheels do damage with borderline 80 run times that comes with a base stealing aptitude that should make him a constant value threat on the base paths. Defensively, he has been shifted around the infield while spending most of his time at the hot corner where he is an above-average defender who should at least be given a shot to play shortstop early in development. It's soft hands, quick lateral bursts and above-average arm strength with whippy carry to first. Some feel his speed is worth testing him in center field, which would add versatility value with the glove. There's impact tools and versatility that fit a non-stereotypical everyday third baseman or leadoff man that is less transcendent and more throwback, but does not take away from the everyday upside with game-changing assets.
No. 270 Overall — New York Mets
Selection: Ryan Tayman
Position/School: C, Cal Poly
Analysis:
Tayman transferred from California-Berkeley to Cal Poly for his draft-eligible season and became the best hitter in the Big West while playing backstop, helping lead the Mustangs to a near super regional berth. A right-handed hitter, he simplified his mechanics to become more compact and direct throughout his line drive cut, improving his bat-to-ball skills and improving his barrel consistency. He has solid bat speed, paired with his large, physical frame, which helped him tap into his average raw power with potential for a half grade jump as he continues maturing physically and pulling the ball with more frequency. An aggressive hitter, he will chase and need to rein in some of his decision making to round out his offensive profile which could sneak towards 50's across. Defensively, he does the job just fine as a backstop; while receiving praise for his leadership despite only modest general defensive tools. If the bat progresses beyond the glove, a move to the corner outfield or potentially third base couldn't be ruled out. Younger for the class with one of the louder performances, his draft stock continued to climb progressively throughout the spring which gave his projection a tick up; and while it is a bat-first backstop, the bat brings a chance at split duties at backstop or a versatile bench option at his peaks.
No. 271 Overall — Houston Astros
Selection: Ryan Pruitt
Position/School: OF, South Florida
Analysis: TBD
No. 272 Overall — Cincinnati Reds
Selection: Damian Ruiz
Position/School: OF, Arkansas
Analysis:
Ruiz is a hitting machine who transferred to Arkansas for his second year of eligibility after earning Southland Conference honors with Lamar in 2025. A righthanded hitter, he has a pure look in the box with rhythmic hands and a loose and fluid swing with impeccable timing and bat-to-ball skills. The line drive plane of the swing allows him to drive the ball with emphasis to the gaps, though his ability to leave the park hasn't arrived just yet and his raw power simmers around average only leaving some thought that his slug will come from hard contact as opposed to park leavers. He sees a lot of pitches in the box and tends to fire on the right one adding to his pure hitting abilities which should translate to a big league role near the front of a lineup. An above-average runner, he is a solid athlete with an aggressive playstyle who can swing around the entire outfield but is likely best suited for a corner. There is some grinder archetype here that plays above the tools, though the tools alone could play into a second-tier regular at his peaks.
No. 273 Overall — Cleveland Guardians
Selection: Mario Pesca
Position/School: RHP, Oklahoma State
Analysis: TBD
No. 274 Overall — Boston Red Sox
Selection: Martin Shelar
Position/School: OF, Marist School (GA)
Analysis:
Shelar is a physical prep outfielder who was among the top power producers in the nation and projects for solid power output. He has an unorthodox swing from the right side with an upright stance that turns into an inverse mechanical weight shift in the load, finishing uphill with serious intent to do damage. Despite the moving pieces to the swing, he has done a solid job of making quality contact and limiting his swing-and-miss. There is explosive bat speed paired with the physicality that gives him current thump and plus power projection. Teams will have to figure out how to consistently synchronize the mechanics as he faces tougher competition, but for now, it works and gives him notable offensive upside. While near physically peaked, he is still a solid athlete and average runner and instinctual defender who should be able to see early development in center field and a corner outfield future where his above-average arm strength should profile well in right field. There is immense power upside here that would fit a run producing, middle-of-the-order profile if all clicks, but the swing mechanics will be an obvious focus of how to piece it all together to reach his full potential with even a semblance of a fringe-or-better hit tool, giving him substantial variance with the upside. He is committed to Mississippi State.

No. 284 Overall — Colorado Rockies
Selection: Mikiah Negrete
Position/School: LHP, Cal State Fullerton
Analysis:
Negrete was a four-year arm and three-year starter for Fullerton, providing value innings throughout the course of his career turning him into a priority senior. His fastball sits 89-91 with the occasional 93-94 early, with fair life through the zone. He can pitch off his secondaries; spotting a low 80's power curve with big arching shape in any count and utilizing a low 80's changeup with fair tumble. A solid mover on the mound, he fills the zone with relative ease. He is a mix-and-match specialist who changes shapes and speeds to attain soft contact outs, and with no real out pitch, he should serve as a usable depth arm in multiple roles who creates value throughout an organization while tapping into potential big league roles deep into his career.

No. 309 Overall — Philadelphia Phillies
Selection: Reece Moroney
Position/School: SS, Rhode Island
Analysis:
Moroney has showcased some solid contact and glove skills as a sparkplug for Rhode Island since arriving on campus. A right-handed hitter, he is a coil and spring loader who doesn't always separate fully which aids his bat-to-ball skills and ability to shoot the barrel with accuracy, but diminishes his power output. Smaller at 5-foot-11, power is not part of his game with near bottom-of-the-scale thump who maybe sneaks a few out annually. It's a slash-and-dash archetype with less aggression that the prototype, as he does a fine job of staying in the zone with his swings. He is a plus runner who is quick out of the box and has shown aggressive baserunning tendencies in the past, which should add value as it returns. Quick-footed on the dirt, he does a fine job of ranging side-to-side and has a plus arm behind him that should allow him to stick at short, but with his offensive archetype, teams will undoubtably move him around the infield to create versatility. There isn't enough impact in the bat to profile as an everyday player, but he hits, runs and fields well enough to see a future dirt utility spot.
No. 310 Overall — Seattle Mariners
Selection: Eric Jeon
Position/School: 2B, Stanford
Analysis:
Jeon had a loud freshman season with Columbia, but lost his sophomore season to a hamate fracture after one game and transferred to Stanford for his draft-eligible season where he continued to hit at an impressive clip. A right-handed hitter, he has a high leg kick that he uses for timing as he is tightly wound on the upper half creating some force in his swing. He has impressive bat-to-ball skills and can spray the gaps consistently, though on occasion he will show some force on middle-cut pitches and drive the ball with authority (including with wood bats). It's below-average raw power, but he can get to it when given the right pitch which should keep pitchers honest. He has a balanced approach paired with solid swing decisions making him a challenging out. He is likely a bottom of the order hitter, who will sneak some two-hole spots due to his on-base and low-whiff prowess. Defensively, he is a high-energy infielder who has middling actions which will keep him off shortstop, though has enough foot speed to be a fair second baseman who can pinch at third with enough arm. Coming from Columbia and into Stanford, he may be a challenging signee due to educational purposes but he fits the mold of a high-contact prospect who hits his way into bench dirt roles at the highest levels.

No. 317 Overall — Minnesota Twins
Selection: Aidan Teel
Position/School: OF, Mississippi State
Analysis:
Teel was a touted two-way who followed Brian O'Connor from Virginia to Mississippi State for his second draft-eligible spring and continued to showcase some enticing tools at the plate. A lefthanded hitter, he coils and cuts downhill-uphill with a steeper plane that can create some groundball issues and fringy contact skills. He has solid bat speed and when he's on plane can put a charge into balls pull side though has mostly average raw power with fringy in-game projection. A selective hitter, his swing decisions were tested a bit more by SEC arms which led to a spike in swing-and-miss and some variable opinions on his overall hit tool. He has sneaky value on the base paths as a plus runner who has been aggressive in non-development and collegiate settings. Defensively, he has some impact potential in center field where he is an aggressive defender with direct routes and impressive closing speed. He has above-average arm strength that could swing him to right field with some ease if grass versatility is needed. He also has some mound upside as a reliever with a fastball that touches the mid 90's and a decent slider. He is the brother of White Sox prospect and former first-rounder Kyle. He may to prove a bit more with the bat but there is strong side platoon upside at a premium position.
No. 318 Overall — Pittsburgh Pirates
Selection: Spencer Evans
Position/School: LHP, TNXL Academy (FL)
Analysis:
Evans is a projectable power prep southpaw. His fastball will grab 95-96 early in stints but sits 90-94 with solid life and zip through the zone. He'll spin a pair of breaking balls, with added power to his slider with solid spin traits but modest shape, and a more deliberate curveball to steal strikes in the mid 70's. His changeup has solid traits in the mid 80's with arm side action but his feel can fluctuate. A solid on-mound athlete, there is some fluidity in the delivery and a whippy arm action from a higher slot; though strikes have dogged him and will need an overhaul to let his potential power arsenal play up. There are plenty of strength gains ahead here, which should help him repeat his delivery and add some gusto the arsenal, making him a power arm candidate. The limited strikes will create immediate relief risk, while he may need some pitch-design assistance, but the arm talent is impressive and should give him notable upside with variable outcomes. He is committed to LSU.

Position/School: RHP, Coastal Carolina
Analysis: TBD
No. 321 Overall — Athletics
Selection: Javar Williams
Position/School: OF, Wake Forrest
Analysis:
Williams is a true burner who made some in-box adjustments this spring that added quality value and stock. A lefthanded hitter, he has become more authoritative in his swing that now includes some barrel wrap in the load, but has created a more whippy and line drive rip. His swing plane and focus on contact can derive some of his natural strength and ability to impact the ball which simmers around fringy or below. The newer steepness of his plane has create some inconsistencies but his swing decisions and contact skills carry him to an average or better hit tool. A borderline 80 runner, he is aggressive on the basepaths and will be a constant stolen base threat adding to some of his top-of-the-order upside. That same speed helps him in center field where he has explosive closing speed and has the athleticism to make the more challenging plays and give him glove value in center where he should stick long term. The speed carries a lot of the profile, but he makes enough quality contact to believe in a table-setting future if the bat continues progressing.
No. 322 Overall — Atlanta Braves
Selection: Ryne Barker
Position/School: 3B, Casteel HS (AZ)
Analysis:
Barker is an athletic prep shortstop who saw a significant stock climb this spring with Arizona-prep powerhouse Casteel. A left-handed hitter, he has an athletic operation in the box and is rhythmic with his swing. He will create some whippy bat speed through the zone and do damage when catching the ball out front. There is some mechanical consistency needed but he has done a fine job of making regular hard contact and progressively cutting down his sustainable swing-and-miss. Growing a few inches over the year and adding notable muscle to his 6-foot-2 frame, there is still strength gains ahead and potentially average-or-better raw power. He is a plus-plus straight line runner who can range side-to-side well at shortstop and comes equipped with above-average arm strength giving him a solid chance of receiving a lengthy development and non-zero outcome at shortstop. While he will be 20-years-old before next season, the frame and athleticism give plenty to dream on and notable upside as he gets stronger and more consistent. He is committed to Texas Tech.

Analysis: TBD
No. 326 Overall — Arizona Diamondbacks
Selection: Cody Boshell
Position/School: 1B, Bishop Snyder HS (FL)
Analysis:
Boshell is a physical, power upside prep bat. His left-handed swing is built for damage with high-end bat speed and a progressive uphill climb from a lower launch. The pacing, or rushing, in his load may cause some struggles against velocity though it is a partially untested hit tool. There may be some minor setup and swing quirks ahead to get him synced and timed up better, but his swing-and-miss hasn't been a concern to date. While presently physical, his frame has room to place more muscle and could give him plus raw power. He has the look of a pure slugger who can leave the park to all fields. An average runner, he can man the corner outfield at present but may lack the initial burst and athleticism to stick. He is a power-armed pitcher on the side who can regularly touch 95-96 but it is a mass upper-body effort delivery with limited control that limits his pitching profile; but may assist him in right field if he sticks on the grass. There is plenty of upside in the bat, particularly as a strong side platoon, though there is notable variance. He is committed to Tennessee.

No. 335 Overall — San Diego Padres
Selection: Chris McHugh
Position/School: 1B, North Carolina State
Analysis:
McHugh transferred from VCU to NC State as a sophomore and hit the ground running becoming one of the offensive staples and showcasing some big-league upside in the bat. A right-handed hitter, he has a focus for getting the barrel to the ball and does a good job of covering the entire zone. The line drive focus can take away from his over-the-fence prowess and make him more of a hard hitter than slugger, more in the likes of Yandy Diaz or Garrett Cooper from a RHH first base perspective, though it is a lesser hit tool than both of those players. He'll flash plus raw power in batting practice and will mash a few balls but is more of a high-teen home run producer who lives through natural contact than an actual slugger. Most would like to see the offensive tools balance into each other, though it is likely to be average grades for both assets. A fair athlete and runner for his size, he is a bit rigid as a defender and may sneak some time in left field or third base but is destined for first base only, adding some pressure to the bat. The value is in the bat as a non-traditional hit-over-power first baseman with some variable projection leaning to a bench future.
No. 336 Overall — Detroit Tigers
Selection: Will Adams
Position/School: 1B, Hoover HS (AL)
Analysis:
Adams is a polished prep corner bat. His left-handed swing is simple with a short and direct rip at the ball. He separates well and gets torqued naturally allowing his natural strength and plus bat speed to produce high exit velocities and some above-average power projection. He will drift forward at times, but his quick hands make up for any minor swing mechanical tweaks that can be easily tuned as he adds more strength to his frame. He has a solid strike zone judgement adding to his overall offensive package and making him a potential 50/50 tool man. He is an average runner and has a strong arm (up to 92) that could fit in right field, though he'll have to improve his tracking and initial bursts to stay on the grass. He also has pitching experience with a fastball up to 92 and some feel for secondaries. There is polish in the bat supported by strong summer performances making Adams a more advanced prep hitter that teams can slot into low-level full season quickly, with an upside of a middling everyday hitter. He is committed to LSU.

Position/School: SS, UC San Diego
Analysis:
Potestio is an advanced gamer who has been a catalyst for UC San Diego the past three seasons while missing scattered time with soreness. A lefthanded hitter, he has a simple, compact swing that covers the whole zone and helps him to loads of contact. Most of his game is simplistic, including how he utilizes his swing with only middling bat speed that produces only fringe average raw power, so he rarely sells out for power and is more set to drive the ball to holes in the field and hard into the gaps, with below-average power projection. He is an elite decision-maker in the box who stays in the zone with all swings and rarely whiffs while showing plenty of patience if he isn't being attacked. He is an average runner who is an instinctual baserunner, giving him some 2-hole upside at the plate, but likely slots in as a back-of-the-lineup hitter who flips the offense. Defensively, he has played just about everywhere and while he isn't great anywhere, he's serviceable everywhere and should be able to swing around the non-premium defensive spots on both the dirt and grass unless a team believes they can keep him at short and stick his development deep taking away some of his utility upside. Everything about the profile screams utility, and with his advanced approach to the game, he could be one of the quickest moving hitters in the class.

No. 342 Overall — Toronto Blue Jays
Selection: Brayden Martin
Position/School: 3B, Maryland
Analysis:
Martin is an elite bat-to-ball artist who obliterated the Maryland all-time walks record as a three-year starter. He has incredible contact rates from the left side, with a deliberate swing that give him plus-plus bat-to-ball skills. The concentration on focus places his bat speed at the bottom of the scale where his power also rest, while he may sneak out low single-digit totals, and is not part of his offensive game. He is highly selective and will opt to not swing if given the chance, and when he does swing, he makes contact with some of the lowest whiff rates in the class. With above-average straight line speed, he could fit at the top of an order for his on-base and contact value but will need to tap into some form of impact. He is a solid athlete who has swung around the dirt defensively and could pinch in a handful of spots, with second or third base being an isolated home if required. There are plenty of avenues to success here, though he may need to get to more impact to get the bat into an everyday role. The overall profile is quite similar to that of Tony Kemp.
No. 343 Overall — Los Angeles Dodgers
Selection: Cody New
Position/School: LHP, California Baptist
Analysis:
New is a mid-major pitchability southpaw who has bat-missing secondaries. A slight unknown, New saw his stuff improve dramatically once he reached campus in Riverside and worked with CBU pitching coach Matt Silberman, quickly earning Friday honors midway through his sophomore campaign. His fastball that sits 91-94 and touches 96 plays up from his ability to command the pitch and the extension he creates to get it on hitters quickly, working it north-south and getting chases above the zone. He can separate the break of his slider and curve that share a similar 77-82 velocity bucket, with more feel for locating the curve and backfooting it to right-handed hitters while using the slider as a more horizontal breaker against lefties. His low 80's changeup is an average separation pitch he uses on right-handers, but will mostly stick to his breaking combo above the cambio. He has an easy delivery with a high release and shows feel to locate his entire arsenal for strikes, while showing little fear of working inside. He is near his physical peak and is likely ending his velocity projection. He had a loud fall and opening stint with CBU where evaluators said he was at his best, though he missed the season after suffering a UCL injury on opening night that required surgery in late March. Pending his return, he has all the tools of strike-thrower with a four-pitch mix that fit a backend rotation profile.
Round 12
No. 344 Overall — Colorado Rockies
Selection: Garrett Brewer
Position/School: LHP, Auburn
Analysis: TBD
No. 345 Overall — Chicago White Sox
Selection: Braden Holcomb
Position/School: OF, Vanderbilt
Analysis:
Holcomb is an ultra physical athlete with serious upside power and an extremely variable hit tool, who produced for three years at Vanderbilt. A right-handed hitter, he has a short, linear load that looked rushed early in his collegiate days and now looks more natural which has aided to some hit tool progression, though his swing still remains long with plenty of holes. His immensely strong frame and hard rips in the box help him create plus-plus raw power; though his ability to get to it hasn't come with consistency yet as his bat path can flatten and he doesn't always ambush pitches to punish. While there have been progressive markers to his swing decisions, there is still notable swing-and-miss that doesn't allow him to jump into his notable offensive upside. The hit tool has a long ways to go but is progressing in the right direction, with surprisingly higher on-paper markers with a wood bat in the Cape Cod from last summer, though still retaining extreme variance. Defensively, he was shifted around the outfield at Vanderbilt and got dirt corner playing time over the summer, and while he is a solid athlete and average or better runner, he is likely best suited for right field where his above-average arm strength plays best; though it never hurts to be versatile. There is loads of upside in the frame and raw power, but extreme variance here
No. 346 Overall — Washington Nationals
Selection: Matthew Dallas
Position/School: LHP, Wake Forest
Analysis: TBD
No. 347 Overall — Minnesota Twins
Selection: Colby Turner
Position/School: 2B, Michigan
Analysis:
Turner is a bat-first corner with some offensive carrying tools. He has a simple and rhythmic setup that leads to a tight, compact swing from the right side. His ability to find the barrel paired with his incredibly physical frame allow him to tap into his average or a tick better raw power to his pull side. An aggressive hitter, he is looking to do damage and will expand the zone to do so, though hasn't been overly susceptible to swing-and-miss. Defensively, he is a corner defender who might not have the pacing to stick at third long term and will likely profile best at first base or left field, which may add some pressure to the bat. The bat is the drawing trait here, with enough in the bank to see some upper-level, bench upside.

No. 358 Overall — San Francisco Giants
Selection: Josiah Kemp
Position/School: OF, Westmoore HS (OK)
Analysis:
Kemp is a throwback prep with speed and contact mixed with outstanding glove work. A righthanded hitter, he has a pre-triggered load and is direct and short to and through the ball. He has plenty of strength gains ahead but doesn't project for more than fringy power as he has a contact-driven swing that shoots balls to the gaps. He puts the game in motion and lets his plus run tool create some game pacing. That same speed helps him in center field where his instincts could make him an impact defender who is quick and direct to the ball and comes backed with above-average arm strength. Physical gains will likely dictate how much offensive impact he carries but his contact and defensive traits give him some bench projection. He is the nephew of former All-Star outfielder Matt. He is committed to Oklahoma.

Selection: AJ Krodel
Position/School: RHP, UC Santa Barbara
Analysis: TBD
No. 361 Overall — Houston Astros
Selection: Owen Nowak
Position/School: OF, Middle Tennessee State
Analysis:
Nowak is a slashing outfielder who spent his draft eligible year at Middle Tennessee State following a pair of hitter years with McHenry County CC (Ill.) and went on to run the fourth lowest strikeout rate across the nation, and best from a non-senior or grad student. A lefthanded hitter, he is a short loader and short arm swinger who rarely ever separates beyond his back hip and fires with a choppier, top-heavy swing. The swing limits his power which only simmers around 30/40 raw and he'll only be projected to sneak a handful or less out of the yard at the next level with his current operation. He has solid zone recognition and rarely expands which, paired with his swing, limits his swing-and-miss to almost zero and substantially minimalistic. Defensively, he is a solid defender in center field who is aggressive and will make highlight plays at and above the warning track, and should be able to stick where his above-average speed should remain an asset as he continues filling out. There may have be a shift in the game for players of this caliber to see their value play, but if continues limiting his outs at the plate to non-zero rates he won't be ignored in terms of depth at the upper levels.

No. 367 Overall — Chicago Cubs
Selection: Brandon Arvidson
Position/School: LHP, Tennessee
Analysis:
Arvidson was a standout JUCO arm who landed at Tennessee for two seasons as a high-leverage reliever. His fastball sits 92-94 and peaks around 96 with solid life. His slider is the bread-winner as a mid 80's breaker with impressive depth from a higher slot, with feel to locate and spin. While he is fastball-slider dominant and leans slider, he has a rarely utilized curveball and changeup in differing velocity buckets that could give him a viable third option with some attention to either. With his arsenal being glove side dominant, he may need something glove side to be more effective against right-handers. He has a high-tempo delivery with a violent finish over the top that keeps him in the relief risk bucket, though he attacks and operates around the zone well enough to not see concerning control struggles. Though on the older side of the class, he is lean and athletic with plenty of room to fill physically and add some power to his heater and sustainability in his mechanics. This is a relief prospect who could move quickly while isolating lefty hitters at his floor and seeing high-leverage at his peaks.

No. 372 Overall — Toronto Blue Jays
Selection: Santiago Garcia
Position/School: LHP, LSU
Analysis:
Santiago is an undersized lefty reliever with putaway weapons he utilized at three schools in three years, ending his draft eligible season as a leverage arm at LSU. His fastball sits in the low 90's and will get up to 95 with notable carry. His curveball is his primary swing-and-miss offering as a hammer in the low 80's. He has a changeup and slider in the bag, with the breaker being the better of the pair but both fringy offerings, with the slide piece being more of a soft cutter. There is effort in the delivery and inconsistent strikes, while his size and lack of a true third offering to isolate right-handers point to a relief-only future. If he can harness a better tertiary pitch and throw more complete strikes, he could swing to starting in early development, but there are quick moving traits here as a relief prospect who could tag above a mid-relief ceiling.

Round 13
No. 374 Overall — Colorado Rockies
Selection: Juriel Collazo
Position/School: OF, Christian Military Academy HS (PR)
Analysis:
Collazo is arguably the top prospect from Puerto Rico in this class with impact athletic tools. A righthanded hitter, he is a reactionary hitter with a flatter swing plane. He has loads of physical projection ahead but his offensive operation remains a work in progress where his power may be best suited for hard contact to the gaps. There is plenty of swing-and-miss here, and he'll need to likely overhaul his offensive operation. A plus-plus runner, his speed can impact the game on both sides of the ball. He ranges well in all directions and comes equipped with a strong and accurate arm that should make him an impact defender in center or right field. There's impact tools here but the bat will need serious attention. He is committed to Western Kentucky.
No. 375 Overall — Chicago White Sox
Selection: Grayson Fitzwater
Position/School: 1B, Virginia Military Institute
Analysis:
Fitzwater is a priority senior bat who has torched the Southern Conference for four years and held his own over summers in non-Cape wood bat leagues. A left-handed hitter, he is a short loader who has solid feel for the barrel and lets his natural strength drive the ball to all fields with force. It's been a moderately tested hit tool with fair enough returns to believe he'll hit for average and power. His approach carries some of the hit tool as a selective hitter who stays within the zone. A fringy, maybe average runner, he'll be able to pinch in left field during development but his defensive future is solely at first base. The overall performance and underlying metrics have believers in the bat translating into a future big-league role and while he does have the option to return as a fifth-year collegiate, he would spend his entire 2027 campaign as a 23-year-old with almost no leverage, so anticipate him to be a money-saving, five-dollar signee in rounds 7-10.

Selection: Jake Long
Position/School: OF, Utah
Analysis:
Long is a bat-first outfielder with some foundational skills to project a louder future. A lefthanded hitter, he has a simple and direct swing from a lower launch. His ability to get on plane while having strength at the point of contact, paired with better swing decisions, has allowed his power to begin showing up more frequently with average raw and some ability to get to it. An aggressive hitter, he will expands the zone but lets his quality bat-to-ball skills make up for some chase and he should have a near-average offensive profile after some development hands on the approach. Defensively, he should be serviceable in the corner outfield as an average runner with foundational actions. While nothing screams off the page, there are tools with some polish here that should give him a depth floor.

No. 384 Overall — St. Louis Cardinals
Selection: Matthew Thomas
Position/School: OF, Cal State Northridge
Analysis:
Thomas had a rough start to his collegiate career with Berkeley before having a massive spring with Northridge, showcasing his power upside. A righthanded hitter, he is a fluid mover to a tense rubber band and fires through the zone with some ferocity that takes away his contact ability. It's impressive bat speed backed with notable strength at the point of contact, with a steeper bat plane to pull the ball with authority regularly and tapping into his plus raw power. An aggressive hitter with little feel for barrel adjustments, swing-and-miss is a big part of his game and he will likely always be a power-carrying hitter. Defensively, he is just fine and is likely destined for left field full-time where his fringe-average arm and actions should work above serviceable. The hit tool, approach and glove will have to come around a bit, but the power is enticing and will carry the profile.

No. 391 Overall — Houston Astros
Selection: Jack Beck
Position/School: SS, Columbia Central HS (TN)
Analysis:
Beck is a physical prep infielder who popped late in the scouting cycle thanks to his frame and power projection. He has a compact, line drive swing from the right side with quick hands and notable strength at contact that help him drive the ball with ease. It is above-average or better power projection, though his hit tool and approach have been mostly untested and questionable. He is physically advanced and built like a modern-day D1 quarterback, with present physicality. It's power-over-hit, but even if he falls into a below-average contact rate, the power can counterbalance as a carrying tool. His plus arm should keep him on the left side of the dirt and his athleticism should allow him to get low-minor development at shortstop, though he is a more physical, average runner who is likely set for the hot corner. It's an upside play on the frame and power, with a high variance hit tool. He is committed to Georgia Southern.
No. 392 Overall — Cincinnati Reds
Selection: Kenny Ishikawa
Position/School: TWP, Georgia
Analysis:
Ishikawa has been an impressive two-way dating back to his high school days in Japan where he spent one year of college in Tokyo before taking his two-way talents to Seattle for one year and Georgia for this most recent. He entered the spring with more supporters of the hit-pitch divide leaning towards the mound but an impressive year at the plate as the Bulldogs leadoff man and center fielder has brought that lean closer to the middle. On the mound, he has a five-pitch mix that saw massive jumps after getting into the hands of Wes Johnson. His fastball now sits 91-93 and grabs 96, about a 3-4 mph jump from previous years, with quality shape. While none of his secondaries really jump as out pitches, he has differing shapes and speeds with all four going from a mid 70's downer curve to a low 80's proto slider to a mid 80's short cutter; with a low to mid 80's changeup that may be his best projected secondary in the long haul. He is an outstanding on-mound athlete who moves well and has a fluid delivery that aids to his strike-throwing, though his control took a step backwards as his arsenal up-ticked this spring. He is a smaller pitcher without a real out pitch, though with how deep his arsenal runs and how solid an athlete he is, there is some rotation upside here and likely much more if he were to scrap hitting and focus solely on pitching. At the plate, he has incredible barrel manipulation and makes contact with an almost delicate look; though this comes with almost zero extension. When revved up, he can put a scream into the ball pull side and shouldn't have his power potential ignored, but the swing is definitely not geared for damage. He is a patient hitter who rarely expands the bottom of the zone but will flip fastballs at the top of the zone the other way with his barrel skills. He is a solid athlete and runner who should be able to stick in the outfield and has a fine arm to fit right field. While pitching continues to be the perceived projection, there are differing development avenues and outcomes, which includes an option of a pro career in Japan after being selected by the Orix Buffaloes in the sixth-round of the 2025 Nippon Draft (all while MLB is headed towards a lockout, might I add). There will be a lot of eyes on what occurs here, making him one of the most intriguing and fun draft prospects of the class.
No. 393 Overall — Cleveland Guardians
Selection: Erick Dessens
Position/School: OF, Sacramento State
Analysis:
Dessens is a pure hitter with big league lineage who landed in Sacramento after two years with Paradise Valley JC (Arz.), and added to his hitting legacy which includes an impressive wood bat track record. A lefthanded hitter, he has a short and direct swing that stays linear through the zone and at finish, quite reminiscent to an upright 90's style burner hitter. The swing plane limits his power which is more driven by hard contact to the gaps and down the right field line. A hyperaggressive hitter, he is in constant attack mode and will shoot fastballs in a hurry, which could make him an approach and swing alteration to balance out his offensive toolset led by impressive bat-to-ball skills. An above-average runner, he is a fair defender and baserunner who should get a chance at center field in early development but will likely land in the corners where his above-average arm should assist in right field. The bat and contact will carry the profile here while he has some development projection to tap into a potential big league future. He is the son of former 14-year big-league pitcher and current Angels development coach Elmer.

No. 399 Overall — Philadelphia Phillies
Selection: Brayden Bakes
Position/School: OF, Illinois State
Analysis:
Bakes is an undersized barrel magnet who was one of the 15 best offensive performers in the nation this spring. A lefthanded hitter, he has a short load that includes a bat wrap before firing with a direct and extremely accurate barrel. His ability to find the barrel carries more of his fringy power than any real bat speed or physicality as he is fairly capped with compact strength at current. He has been a disciplined hitter in both the MVC and even near passive in his wood bat showings and should have some on-base value to match with his barrel feel. Defensively, he spent most of his time in college in left field and doesn't project to land elsewhere where his average or better speed and actions should be just fine to potentially swing to other grass spots in very early development. There's enough average tools to see some depth value here, though he has plenty of return to school options so the price may come heftier than expected to hold him to adding value to his stock as a junior.

Round 14
No. 404 Overall — Colorado Rockies
Selection: Lorenzo Carrier
Position/School: OF, Pittsburgh
Analysis:
Carrier is a super physical, mashing outfielder making him a priority fifth-year senior. A right-handed hitter, he has lowered his handset and created some better posturing in the box from previous years with Miami and performed with the bat among the nation's best with Pittsburgh. His substantial size (6'5) and strength allow him to swing with violence and explosivity which creates plus-plus raw that he gets to pull side with relative ease. He has carried alarming swing-and-miss with him throughout his collegiate career and saw improvements this spring both in whiffs and decision making, showing some patience that may counter balance the swing-and-miss making him a 30 hit, 60 power type that sees some peaks and valleys over his career. Defensively, he is a right fielder who is serviceable in the corner with a strong, plus arm and should see minimal time elsewhere. A fifth-year, 23-year-old senior, his power upside may make him the first senior off the board with little leverage and a notable discount.

Selection: Alfredo Capacete
Position/School: RHP, Cal Baptist
Analysis:
Capacete grew into a priority senior target for Gary Adcock despite missing a large part of the spring with an undisclosed injury. His fastball sits 93-95 and grabs the occasional 97 with solid life coming from a lower launch. His mid-80s slider is a bat misser with two-plane action and could be a plus if he can continue manipulating the shape into a true cutter blend. He has a fair but firm upper 80s changeup in the bag. A solid on-mound athlete, he is strikes over command and may need to fine tune his feel and add a more true tertiary to chance a starter development and fall into the relief only bucket. A senior on the younger side, his leverage relief upside will come at a discount but maybe not as significant as others.

Selection: Diego Castellanos
Position/School: OF, Saint Mary's
Analysis:
Castellanos has been a steady performer for Saint Mary's who has some carrying hitability. A lefthanded hitter, he has created some more fluidity in his load and swing that was once noisy and choppy but is now more linear and through the ball aiding to his excellent bat-to-ball skills and feel for the barrel. His swing is still geared for contact and limits how much he can impact the ball, though even in a raw placement his power is fringy at best. His swing covers plenty of the zone and aids to his low strikeouts despite some feel to expand the zone. It's a sparkplug offensive profile that could sneak some late career upside at the top of the order but is more a turnaround point in the 8-9 holes. Defensively, he is serviceable at all three outfield positions and should see a home at one of the corners where his tools are middling but fair. Buying on the bat and ability to put the game in motion backed by loud performance to see a future sparkplug bench piece.

No. 435 Overall — Chicago White Sox
Selection: Cameron Johnson
Position/School: LHP, Oklahoma
Analysis:
Johnson was a touted prep from development specialist IMG Academy, and was getting some first-round buzz that led to turning down multi-million offers and a 20th round selection from St. Louis. He instead landed at Baton Rouge and later Norman where he walked over a quarter of the batters he faced, with 41 walks in his first 30 collegiate innings, before finding the zone with some frequency and creating some value stock as a junior. His fastball sits in the mid 90's, touches 99 and plays heavy with notable sink and armside life. His low 80's soft sweeper is a floating breaker that can get pummeled, which may be why he prefers to use his upper 80's changeup with fair depth in off-speed counts; though neither pitch grades any better than average. He gets down the mound well and the balls comes out of the hand with relative ease, helping him create some tough angles from a lower slot, but his mechanics are rarely synced up, creating inconsistent control and well below-average strike throwing. The massive frame paired with a mechanical baseline give some faith to building blocks of control improvement, but the track record with strikes isn't great. There's tools to play with and plenty of upside with the frame and fastball, but he is likely destined for relief with notable leverage upside in the bullpen.

No. 439 Overall — Los Angeles Angels
Selection: Cameron Jackson
Position/School: SS, Georgia Premier Academy (GA)
Analysis:
Jackson is a high-end prep athlete with premium defensive staying power and a budding offensive profile. A switch-hitter, he has a simple, compact rip from the right side and steeper, more intentful cut from the left side. He has an easy load, though his high elbow set sometimes gets him choppy and/or create some swing-and-miss. He has solid bat speed from both sides and has notable frame projection, though is more suited as a gap slugger at present. A patient hitter who does a fine job of staying in the zone with swings, there is still swing-and-miss here but a projectable swing foundation to believe in getting to a fair offensive profile. He is an accomplished defender at shortstop with impressive body control, rhythm and a quickness to the ball backed by above-average arm strength. A twitchy athlete who can also post above-average run times, he'll stick at short long term with ease. Plenty of the profile banks on the athleticism and how much offensive growth comes in mid development; upside play. He is committed to Oklahoma.

Analysis:
Klein was a standout JUCO hitter who also created some waves for himself in wood bat prospect leagues before landing at SEMO for his draft-eligible year and continued to show some athletic tools. A righthanded hitter, he is a short armed swinger with a flatter plane that helps him create hard contact to the gaps. Mostly a gap hitter at present, the swing and frame could have some average power to unlock but he will mostly be a fringy gap power hitter. He has a balanced approach and makes good decisions at the plate which mostly carry the offensive profile. Defensively, he is a solid defender in center field where his above-average speed is an asset more so than his specific actions. There are projectable tools to play with from the college level.

Selection: James Tronstein
Position/School: SS, Harvard-Westlake HS (CA)
Analysis:
Tronstein was one of the better performers across California, showcasing advanced impact tools through the course of the spring as an undersized prep hitter with defensive versatility. He has a simple, compact swing from the right side with high-end bat-to-ball skills making him a barrel magnet. He has strong, quick hands that help with his plus barrel control and ability to post high-end exit velocities, though his over-the-fence projection remains mostly fringy; with his hit/power projection seemingly more in the likes of a Dominic Canzone profile with a high barrel percentage and metrics output with modest power production (.400+ SLG, .150 ISO with sub 15 HR on paper performance). He is aggressive at the plate and will expand the zone, though he will extend his arms off the plate well and does a good job of limiting his swing-and-miss. The overall offensive package will likely simmer around league-average on paper, though the metrics from someone who finds the barrel at this clip will make him a constantly alluring bat that is bound for above-average offensive seasons at his peak. A solid athlete and above-average runner, he should have impact on the defensive side of the game whether on the grass or dirt. He splits parts of his amateur time between center field and shortstop and should find a home at one of them, with most leaning to a future in center where he has a quick first step and is direct to the ball; while his defensive acumen and high instincts on the dirt make him solid, though he may have to swing to second base in the long haul. The hit tool and defensive versatility give him a reasonably high floor with everyday upside. He is committed to Vanderbilt.

Selection: David Hinojosa
Position/School: RHP, Poly Prep HS (NY)
Analysis: TBD
No. 453 Overall — Cleveland Guardians
Selection: Alejandro Garza
Position/School: 3B, Cal Poly
Analysis:
Garza is a smaller infielder with high-end contact skills who was a three-year starter and performer at Cal Poly. A right-handed hitter, he is a bat-to-ball specialists with surprising intent in his slasher swing that covers the entire zone. With his size, when he puts a deep rip into his cut, it looks effortful and power is not a big part of his game where he may sneak some high single-digit totals at his peaks. A hyper aggressive hitter, he swings at everything and expands and chases at an alarming rate, though, he rarely whiffs. There's a bit of anomaly here, or throwback in a sense, to an overly aggressive hitter who puts the ball in play at remarkable clips who is the rare sub 10.0 K%, sub 5.0 BB% and sub .100 ISO club that had more frequency before those markers were inspected. An infielder who has swung around the dirt, he plays a bit squirrely and could probably pinch at short but his fringy arm likely limits him to a second base spot full-time. There isn't much room for error here, so he will have to hit and be versatile with the glove to get to a big-league utility ceiling that fits the bottom of an order.

No. 459 Overall — Philadelphia Phillies
Selection: Owen Clyne
Position/School: SS, George Mason
Analysis:
Clyne is a high-contact, glove-first senior shortstop who torched the Atlantic 10 the past two years. A lefthanded hitter, he is a twitchy hitter who is usually direct to the ball with some of the better bat-to-ball skills in the class. His swing plane can get uphill at times allowing him to drive the ball pull side, though with a less intentful cut built towards contact and only fringy raw power keeping his power projection below-average. An aggressive hitter, his contact skills drive incredibly low swing-and-miss rates that should hold up at the next level as a back of the order hitter. He is a solid defender at shortstop who should be able to stick with soft hands, fair foot speed and a strong arm. His value could swing if he moves around the dirt, but there is enough value alone in his ability to stick at short that he may have a solidified home with the glove. He may not have enough impact to profile as an everyday player, and pending how much versatility is created, he should balance out a high-contact bench or utility future.

Analysis:
Govel is a smaller arm that missed his natural freshman year with Tommy John and then piece together two very good years with USC thanks b to impressive pitchability. His fastball sits 91-93 and touches 95 but plays up heavily due to his quality extension and flatter plane. His 78-82 curveball is a potential weapon splitting his heat in directional shape; while he can shade a solid slider with some sweep. His upper 80s cutter is a short break that he uses in a more traditional form up-and-away. His changeup is mostly a directional and velocity separator at present with some projection. He is a good mover on the mound who fills the zone with plus feel to locate his non breakers. There are strikes and four or five quality pitches giving him some fair rotation upside.

No. 478 Overall — San Francisco Giants
Selection: Dalton Wentz
Position/School: 3B, Wake Forest
Analysis:
Wentz is a physical, switch-hitting sophomore with notable power. He has short triggers from both sides of the plate and doesn't always get fully separated with some reactionary-looking swings. While he has high-end bat speed from both sides, he is more thunderous and consistent from the left side. His bat speed, steeper plane and remarkable strength and filled-out form give him plus raw that plays to all fields, and he should see 20-25 over-the-fencers annually if the hit tool and approach improves. He struggles with spin and will swing-and-miss at a high clip, and will need to clean up his swing decisions to get to his power upside. Defensively, he has fair dirt actions and is a solid athlete with a strong arm that should keep him at third base where he has mostly played in college, though his footwork isn't always the cleanest which may lead to a move to a shift-heavy second baseman or corner outfielder. The power gives him an impact tools that could carry into an everyday role if the other aspects of his game begin to progress, though he is a soph-eligible pick who could retain or enhance his signing leverage with a return to school.

No. 484 Overall — Boston Red Sox
Selection: Colton Coates
Position/School: SS, Louisiana Tech
Analysis:
Coates is a glove-first shortstop with some enticing contact skills. A switch-hitter, he is more authoritative from the right side but more productive from the left side. As a lefty, he has a steeper, choppy load and tends to come down on the ball, though with strong bat-to-ball skills; while as a righty, he is a flat plane swinger. His swing planes and ordinary strength limit his power which is below-average raw with little projection above low single-digit over-the-fence sneakers. He is a highly selective hitter who often makes the right swing decisions in the box, keeping his swing-and-miss low; and letting his patience give him some on-base value. Defensively, he has solid actions at shortstop with quick and accurate lateral bursts and good glovework; though his pure arm strength may push him to second base as the game speeds up. There is contact and glovework that should grow into a future bench spot, though he'll have to impact the ball more.

Selection: Matt Quintanar
Position/School: C, Texas Tech
Analysis:
Quintanar transferred from Central Arizona to JUCO powerhouse Blinn and became their top performer before landing at Texas Tech for his junior season where he continued to hit while playing at a premium defensive home. A right-handed hitter, his hands are all over the place in his busy but rhythmic load, though that hasn't taken away from his excellent bat-to-ball skills. The operation creates a whippy swing with moderate bat speed that leans to more contact-based power to the gaps; while he is near his physical cap to retain athleticism, leaning to a fringy at best power projection. He stays in the zone with his swing decisions but leans to a hyper aggressive approach taking a rip at the first strike he sees. There is a baseline for offense, though some reining in on the pre-swing mechanics and aggression. Defensively, he does everything you want from a backstop with fair lateral mobility paired with above-average arm strength. There is work to be done with his receiving, though not enough concern to feel he can be a serviceable option behind the dish. There are tools to build on a depth catcher in the long run, though he is on the elder side of the junior class at 22 and may need a quick tune early in his pro days to get his to the mid-minors for a more age-appropriate development, though his ability to play at a constant full pace may give him a half grade jump in any direction.

Selection: Isaiah Galason
Position/School: SS, Houston County HS (GA)
Analysis:
Galason is a speedy prep shortstop who reclassified from 2027 putting age to his benefit. A right-handed hitter, he is quiet in his load and snappy through the zone with some polished bat-to-ball skills, working line-to-line. He has impressive bat speed and can do damage when he catches the ball out front, but his size and quickness through the zone keep his power projection around fringy at best where he can sneak out low double-digit home runs at peak; with more gap-to-gap slug. He is an aggressive hitter, but hunts strikes and limits his swing-and-miss and chase. A plus runner, and maybe a hair above, he is quick out of the box and quick footed on the dirt. A twitchy athlete with above-average arm strength, he has both the actions and cadence to stick at shortstop through early development and likely towards his physical peaks, though could swing around the field with his athleticism and first step. There are some table-setting tools here with a chance at sticking at a premium defensive position giving fair upside. He is committed to Georgia Tech.
No. 497 Overall — Minnesota Twins
Selection: Hideki Prather
Position/School: C, California
Analysis:
Prather accumulated just four plate appearances (with three hits) over his first two years with Clemson in part to injuries and positional depth ahead of him which led to a transfer to California-Berkeley for his draft-eligible season where he added some offense to his glove-first profile. A right-handed hitter, he has a slightly unorthodox cut with a loud bat tip during his busy coil and spring load, with a tendency to land out front and upright at the point of contact, leading to some push swing tendencies and putting him airborn promptly after contact on occasion. It's an aggressive swing with moving parts, though his bat-to-ball is fair. Compactly built, his power gains may be limited with the current power coming from solid bat speed and a steep angle of attack, letting him get into his fringe-average raw. He is an aggressive hitter, and has the non prototypical offensive profile for a backstop, with a fringy overall offensive toolset. Defensively, he is a good receiver with quiet hands and a strong arm with above-average arm strength helping him stay under 2.0 on most pop times. He bounces around well behind the dish and should be an average defender at backstop long term. The defensive profile carries the value to what could be a solid depth backstop as the bat continues to trend upwards.

Selection: Jacob Johnson
Position/School: 3B, Saint Mary's
Analysis:
Johnson spent a year at Cuesta JC (Cal.) before transferring to Saint Mary's and becoming one of the Gaels primary run producers. A right-handed hitter, he has a short coil and spring load that produces some electricity through the zone. He has a quick and direct barrel, paired with high-end bat speed that allows him to hit for power to all fields and should let him produce home run counts in the high teens regularly. He has a hyper aggressive approach and is susceptive to chasing out of the zone with a swing-and-miss rate that will have to come down to tap into his offensive upside, with hit and power tools that flirt average. He has played mostly hot corner in college though saw some time in left field to end the year where he is suitable at either with a strong arm and fine footwork and foot speed. A redshirt sophomore who has yet to turn 21, he could return to school and retain or add value, but there is enough projection in the bat to believe in a project hitter who has the power to work into a corner bench or better ceiling.

No. 508 Overall — San Francisco Giants
Selection: Tanner Mally
Position/School: OF, Western Michigan
Analysis:
Mally is a contact specialist who led Division-1 in batting average this past spring, and is a career .400 hitter in college. A righthanded hitter, he doesn't have the slappy archetype as most hitters with his profile but instead has a more pure rotational swing. The swing foundation may allow him to surpass 20-grade power but his approach, size and bat speed doesn't really indicate he'll leave the yard with any frequency and his first home run will be celebrated to a high degree by whatever dugout he lands in. His approach is to put the game in motion and he will expand the zone to do so, but with his elite bat-to-ball skills, he is a rare strikeout victim. A plus runner, he is somewhat rangy in the outfield but lacks the twitch or arm to profile anywhere outside of left field. There is little impact here, but hitters hit and that earns jobs that could carry into upper level roles, including the bigs if a new gear is unlocked.

Analysis:
Troy transferred to USC where he earned closing duties as an elder junior. His fastball is nearly a true throwback cutter that sits 92-94 with scattered 95's and is a bat misser with notable cut and glove side break. He pairs it with a mid 80s slider that shares initial trajectory before diving instead of sweeping creating some ugly swings. He has a loopy curve and firm changeup in the bag. While he has four pitches, his top pairing and general below-average command of all; mixed with not much starting track record limit him to relief projection for most. There is potential to tap into but relief would be his big league path set for leverage with control improvements.

No. 524 Overall — Colorado Rockies
Selection: Blake Bowen
Position/School: OF, JSerra Catholic HS (CA)
Analysis:
Bowen was a touted wide receiver who has placed his focus on baseball over the past calendar year and may possess the best physical tools in the draft class. He is currently built like a Division-1 tight end with a filled out 6-foot-3 frame and strength throughout. The physicality stands out in the batter's box where he has top of the charts bat speed from the right side that -- paired with his strength -- give him plus-or-better raw power projection. How much he gets to that power in games is the question as he has a high-variance hit tool as an undercooked hitter who needs reps. His plate discipline and swing decisions improved dramatically over the spring and his in-zone swing-and-miss progressively decreased. It is a swing conducive for power, staying compact throughout and finishing uphill. It is a strength-based cut and can get handsy, but if belief is even that he has around a 40-hit tool, this could be a 30+ home run masher on the norm with easy counter balance of potentially high strikeout rates. He is a plus runner who has serious aggression on the basepaths, even regularly trying to steal home while catching the pitcher inattentive; and should be an easy double-digit stolen base threat. That same speed carries a lot of his center field prowess where he is quick to the ball and efficient in his routes. He may lose a step as he continues developing physically, but even as an above-average runner his plus arm would fit right field well giving him two-way value. He plays the game with an up-tempo nature and gets the most out of his physical tools. As he continues focusing on a single sport, the unrefined aspects of his game should iron out; and so long as he maintains his athleticism during physical maturation, the physical tools are hard to match with star-power upside as a power-speed threat with value in the tools package and most of his future dictated by a high-variance hit tool. He is committed to Oregon State.

Selection: Malachi Washington
Position/School: OF, Parkview HS (GA)
Analysis:
Washington has been a long-term follow from Georgia-powerhouse Parkview, where he has performed at a high clip while showcasing special athletic and physical tools. He has a compact swing from the right side with incredible hand speed that allow him to spray hard hits to the entire field and, when synched, get over the fence with some ease. An aggressive hitter, he can get rushed in his mechanics causing some swing and load inconsistencies that lead to soft contact or swing-and-miss. It is a power-over-hit profile, though there is enough semblance of a hit tool to believe he can get to his power enough and regularly hit 15-20+ home runs annually. He is an easy glider who will post plus run times, helping him on the base paths and in the outfield where he projects to stick in center field long-term due to his advanced tracking, quick bursts and athleticism. Even if he is to swing to a corner, his above-average arm would fit right field where he could be a plus defender. He has strength scattered throughout his 6-foot-1 frame and can pack a punch already despite being among the youngest in the draft class (turned 18 on June 2). There are some physical advancements, but even at current, he looks every bit the part physically. There will need to be some patience in development on the hit tool, but the overall package of power, speed and defense create a reasonably high floor with everyday-or-better upside with thump at a premium defensive home. He is committed to LSU.

No. 534 Overall — St. Louis Cardinals
Selection: Gabe Camacho
Position/School: OF, UC San Diego
Analysis:
Camacho is an offense-first first baseman with some fair upside. A lefthanded hitter, he creates a whippy barrel via a rhythmic timing mechanism in his load, and is frequent with the barrel. His whippy swing also creates some whippy bat speed backed by his natural strength which should translate to average power output as he continues pulling the ball with more authority. He is an aggressive hitter who was tested by velocity this spring and will have to cut down his swing-and-miss to prove his hitting chops are enough to split the strong side of a platoon. Defensively, he is fine around the bag at first and likely sticks there solely while his footspeed and arm might be tested in the outfield. Not turning 21 until late-September, he may be at his peak signing leverage despite a down year, with his biggest supporters still seeing an upper-level future platoon first baseman who has a balanced offensive skillset.

Position/School: OF, Texas A&M

No. 537 Overall — Texas Rangers
Selection: Max Kaufer
Position/School: C, Wichita State
Analysis:
Kaufer was an early enrollee at Texas A&M where he was given full-time catching duties prior to turning 18, which has eventually led him to being a model-darling senior who only recently turned 21. Now on his third program after not receiving much playing time at A&M or South Carolina as a junior, the Wichita State backstop was the nation's top performer through mid-March but saw his season end prematurely with a shoulder injury that required surgery. A right-handed hitter, he has an uphill cut backed by a strong and well-filled frame that helps him hit the ball as hard as any of his counterparts. He tapped into his power projection early this spring and may be a 20+ home run slugger in the long haul. His patience has always outweighed his hit tool which has gone mostly untested in college, so projection varies on his offensive profile with his loudest supporters seeing a power-patience slugger with alarming but sustainable swing-and-miss. Defensively, he is a solid receiver behind the plate backed by a strong arm and enough fundamental actions to believe he can stick long term. This is a high-variance pro prospect with a limited track record (288 collegiate plate appearances) that already has a senior label as a 21-year-old, and a fifth-year option who may be seeing his fourth program over five seasons. There are a lot of questions here, but he is a must follow senior for the bat and positional value who will run some prospect clout with notable upside.

No. 544 Overall — Boston Red Sox
Selection: Ethan Offing
Position/School: SS, Dutch Fork HS (SC)
Analysis:
Offing is a high-end athlete with some impact projection. There is some explosivity in his right-handed swing with quick and strong hands, helping him fire the barrel through the zone. He is mostly flat through the zone creating hard contact to his pullside, though he will finish uphill at times and tap into his wiry strength and sneaky average raw pop. There is some swing-and-miss that will need to be reined in, but his plus speed and desire to run make him a top-of-the-order candidate at the next level. That plus speed is used well in center field where he is quick and direct to the ball with little doubt to his defensive home and above-average defensive upside. He does have experience on the dirt, and his athleticism would make for an interesting development case, but his skillset in center field should keep him there. There are impact tools that fit a top-of-the-lineup but it may take patience and a more improved hit tool to do so. He is committed to Clemson.

No. 552 Overall — Toronto Blue Jays
Selection: Jake McCoy
Position/School: LHP, South Carolina
Analysis:
McCoy entered the 2025 summer as a struggling strike-thrower and left it as a potential LHP1 option. His performance on the Cape (that included a 46.3 K% and 8.3 K/BB ratio), paired with his loud arsenal, made him one of the top lefties entering the 2026 scouting cycle, though his season never occurred after suffering a torn UCL and had Tommy John surgery in January. When healthy, he shows an electric two-pitch arsenal, with incredible arm speed coming from a low 3/4 slot creating unique traits. His fastball sits 93-95 and can touch 98 with cutting life, while his low release make it a challenging angle to pick up and a bat-misser above-the-zone. His slider can come in variants, sitting in the low-to-mid 80's as a true high-spin sweeper against lefties; or a blended slider-cutter variance with more traditional slider shape against righties and power cut in the upper 80's with glove side break. His upper 80's changeup is rudimentary and sparsely used. The angles he creates make him a challenging matchup, particularly for lefties, while his cambio progression may dictate his starter odds and ability to get right-handers out. He has a high-effort delivery with a quick-tempo attack, which has at times taken away his command and strike-throwing, particularly a struggle he had as an underclassman. There is a limited track record of what he can be at his peak, but if he returns to the form he showed over the summer, he has a high-leverage arsenal, and with some third pitch attention, could have angles similar to Jamie Arnold in a starter mold. It's an upside play banking on health and small sample electricity.

No. 561 Overall — Athletics
Selection: Jake Escalante
Position/School: LHP, Soquel HS (CA)
Analysis:
Escalante is a projectable prep southpaw who had a velocity jump over the past year. His fastball sits in the upper 80's with some low 90's at the front of his outings with fair carry coming from a higher release. He has solid feel for a changeup in the low 80's and can spin an upper 70's breaking ball with a slurvy break, with both secondaries playing up with their angle to the plate from his slot. He is a solid on-mound athlete who has a fluid delivery, though it's below-average extension. He has done a solid job of filling the zone as a prep and should have average control in the long run. Incredibly lean with a more athletic build, there will be significant physical gains ahead and his entire arsenal should play up as he grows. There is loads of projection here with tools for a rotation future. He is committed to Cal State Fullerton.
No. 562 Overall — Atlanta Braves
Selection: Austin Fawley
Position/School: C, Mississippi
Analysis:
Fawley has been one of the biggest mashers in the SEC for two years -- 34 home runs, .573 SLG, .329 ISO -- though it comes with extreme swing-and-miss (35.7 K%). A right-handed hitter, he creates incredible torque through an extremely high leg kick and massive separation, rubber-banding to almost exaggerated degrees if not for how low-effort the swing is. The torque, paired with his strong frame and solid bat speed help him hit the ball with force to all fields, while his attack angle allows him to drive the ball in the air with frequency. Despite his impressive raw power, he has unsustainable swing-and-miss that will need an entire overhaul to tap into any of his offensive upside. Serving as a two-year backstop for one of the more touted pitching staffs in the country, he is a fair receiver who has an advanced ability to steal strikes, though his defensive game may not be enough to stick behind the plate and a move to left or right field could work. He is a fringe-at-best runner who may even land at first base. Buying purely on the raw power here with hopes of tapping into it with your development team.

No. 568 Overall — San Francisco Giants
Selection: Mikey Bell
Position/School: 3B, Gonzaga
Analysis:
Bell transferred from Cuesta JC (Cal.) to Gonzaga and hit his way to back-to-back West Coast Conference Player of the Year honors. A right-handed hitter, he coils and fires with his quick and accurate barrel that covers the zone well. He creates solid rotational force and gets the ball in the air with frequency, allowing him to tap into his average raw power and drive the ball to all fields with ease. A more aggressive hitter, he swings at early count strikes and can be tested by superior breaking stuff on the outer half creating sustainable swing-and-miss. It's a fringe-average profile, but a foundation to build upon that also comes with a solid wood bat track record. Defensively, he has shifted between right field and third base with Gonzaga and should be suitable at either at the next level where his arm and footwork plays fine. There is a depth bat here that could grow into a big league role at his peaks, and with age-relevance and performance supporting, he could move quickly.

No. 594 Overall — St. Louis Cardinals
Selection: Kollin Ritchie
Position/School: OF, Oklahoma State
Analysis:
Ritchie is a super physical masher who got popped by the Orioles as a "we like you / atta-boy" 19th rounder in 2023, but landed at Oklahoma State where he has been a three-year starter and run producer. A left-handed hitter, he is a short strider with explosive hands and bat speed, but an inconsistent feel to make contact with a steeper swing plane. Incredibly physical with impressive bat speed and a mindset to attack pull side, he has notable power upside with present plus raw power that plays to all fields. An aggressive hitter, he does chase with frequency and swings-and-misses at a high-clip with his walk rates coming more from being pitched around to avoid damage. There is a questionable hit tool here, backed by a small but scary Cape Cod track record (90 PA, .156 BA, 38.8 K%), and he will have to improve his contact skills to get to his serious power upside. Defensively, he is a solid athlete and runner who mans the outfield decently, though with limited chance of sticking in center field and a right field future where his above-average arm strength could play. Of note, he played some third base with solid initial returns, which could make him a versatile corner defender at floor. There are 25+ home runs season ahead here if the hit tool translates which would lead to a clear everyday role, though it will take some attention to get there.

No. 607 Overall — Chicago Cubs
Selection: Brennan Hudson
Position/School: C, U Georgia
Analysis:
Hudson is an SEC senior performer who should come at a discount deal. A lefthanded hitter, he has a long, line drive stroke that has some holes creating a fringy hit tool. While he hit for power, it was more based on his ability to catch the ball out front and get it airborne to his pull side. He sees tons of pitches and will work long battles in the box, but this also comes with some notable swing-and-miss, particularly on the road as has been a common denominator for Georgia hitters. While he split most of his time this spring at first base, he has swung around the field a bit and has experience catching which may add some value back to his resume if he can return behind the plate with enough feel to spot start. There is value in strong side platoon SEC performers that come at a senior discount and this fits the bill of someone who could move quickly and have some surprising upside; while a return behind the plate could add some notable value.

Selection: Justin Lee
Position/School: RHP, UCLA

No. 610 Overall — Seattle Mariners
Selection:Connor Shouse
Position/School: 3B, Texas Tech
Analysis:
Shouse was a touted two-way Georgia prep who spent some time hitting and pitching in the MLB Draft League before heading to campus at Georgia Tech for a year and then transferring to Texas Tech for his draft-eligible sophomore season. A right-handed hitter, he has a compact swing that can get long in which creates a middling hit tool. He does a fine job of catching the ball out front and has quality bat speed with a semi-linear bat path that suggests more power is to come as he pulls the ball more frequently and continues filling out. His power, and hit tool, should also improve with better pitch selection as he will get hyper aggressive in the box and expand. There is a baseline for a rounded near-average offensive tool kit, though decision-making will have to improve to get to it. A shortstop by trade, he has moved to third base in college where he has fair actions and plus arm strength that should keep him at the hot corner. He has pitched sporadically in college and will flash a mid 90's heater with some late life along with a mid 80's breaking ball, and with his on-mound athleticism, could be a superior option on the mound than at the plate in the long haul; though more teams value his bat above his arm. This is a project hitter from the college ranks who has some middling tools to see a big-league future and nice fallback option on the mound.
