1 | Rank | Name | School | Draft Age | Handedness | Position | Grade | My Take | ||||||||||||||||||
2 | 1 | Dylan Crews | LSU | 21 | RHH | OF | 65 / Medium Risk | A 5 tool player who largely dominated the best conference in baseball and has the track record to match anyone, Crews is a no brainer Top 2 pick. | ||||||||||||||||||
3 | 2 | Wyatt Langford | Florida | 21 | RHH | OF | 65 / Medium Risk | Langford certainly has the power to go head to head with Crews and he has as much upside as a hitter. More of a corner outfielder despite good speed | ||||||||||||||||||
4 | 3 | Paul Skenes | LSU | 21 | RHP | SP | 65 / High Risk | His fastball shape is flat but he locates it so well up in the zone that it plays up, and then obviously elite velocity helps. Being a pitcher, there's added risk | ||||||||||||||||||
5 | 4 | Walker Jenkins | High School | 19 | LHH | OF | 60 / Medium Risk | I prefer him over another prep outfielder Max Clark because there’s a lot more power upside. He’s a very good hitter that has a chance to stick in CF | ||||||||||||||||||
6 | 5 | Max Clark | High School | 18 | RHH | OF | 60 / Medium Risk | Tools to dream on. Even if the power never fully comes I’m comfortable with the floor his hit/defense/speed combination gives you. | ||||||||||||||||||
7 | 6 | Chase Davis | Arizona | 21 | LHH | OF | 55 / High Risk | Slugs it to all fields while making smart decisions in the box but strikeouts are a bit of a concern. I'm optimistic about his defense and think he could play CF | ||||||||||||||||||
8 | 7 | Hurston Waldrep | Florida | 21 | RHP | SP | 55 / Very High Risk | It is easier to teach control then teach the stuff that Waldrep has. Elite arsenal but there's huge reliever risk in the delivery / lack of control | ||||||||||||||||||
9 | 8 | Enrique Bradfield Jr | Vanderbilt | 21 | LHH | OF | 50 / Medium Risk | Value comes in a lot of ways and Bradfield provides that with his 80 Run and 80 Field. He's a legitimate 70 stolen base threat with enough hit tool to get there | ||||||||||||||||||
10 | 9 | Arjun Nimmala | High School | 17 | RHH | SS | 60 / Extreme Risk | Very very young but booming with potential. Strikeout and chase concerns add some risk but the power and defense combination at shortstop is enticing | ||||||||||||||||||
11 | 10 | Chase Dollander | Tennessee | 21 | RHP | SP | 55 / Very High Risk | Dollander saw his stock fall this year from lack of consistency in his mechanics and slider regression. Still like the strikeouts and velocity- he can be fixed | ||||||||||||||||||
12 | 11 | Jacob Gonzalez | Ole Miss | 21 | LHH | SS | 50 / Medium Risk | Maybe not the highest upside prospect but he's been a consistent all around SEC producer at a valuable position and that counts for something | ||||||||||||||||||
13 | 12 | Noble Meyer | High School | 18 | RHP | SP | 60 / Extreme Risk | The best high school arm in the class has two plus plus pitches and a changeup with potential. Huge potential here but high school arms always present risk | ||||||||||||||||||
14 | 13 | Tommy Troy | Stanford | 21 | RHH | 2B | 50 / Medium Risk | Compact but powerful, Troy is one of the more polished bats available. Not usually a fan of slug first second baseman but Troy intrigues me | ||||||||||||||||||
15 | 14 | Rhett Lowder | Wake Forest | 21 | RHP | SP | 50 / Medium Risk | As far as performance goes only Skenes can say he was better than Lowder. Good arsenal and very polished but probably not a front end guy | ||||||||||||||||||
16 | 15 | Colton Ledbetter | Mississippi State | 21 | LHH | OF | 50 / High Risk | Don't see why he isn't getting more first round buzz. Big exit velocity guy who has the tools to handle center field and can steal a bit. Tools are there. | ||||||||||||||||||
17 | 16 | Aidan Miller | High School | 19 | RHH | 3B | 50 / High Risk | Has the frame and bat speed to hit for a lot of power. Overall impact hitter who can play 3B or corner outfield. Hamate injury kept him out this spring. | ||||||||||||||||||
18 | 17 | Matt Shaw | Maryland | 21 | RHH | SS | 50 / High Risk | Do it all baseball player who can hit for some average, some power, play some defense and steal some bags. Likely moves to 2B eventually. | ||||||||||||||||||
19 | 18 | Jacob Wilson | Grand Canyon | 21 | RHH | SS | 45 / Medium Risk | As a GM I would not draft Jacob Wilson. I think there is something to be said about never striking out and playing shortstop that gives a nice floor but still. | ||||||||||||||||||
20 | 19 | Colin Houck | High School | 18 | RHH | SS | 55 / Very High Risk | A team will likely need to either reach or overpay for Houck but I think the upside is worth it. Very good athlete with enticing hitting ability and power potential | ||||||||||||||||||
21 | 20 | Walker Martin | High School | 19 | LHH | SS | 55 / Very High Risk | I like the skillset and power potential in the middle infield always catches my eye. He faced awful pitching in Colorado which is a concern for most | ||||||||||||||||||
22 | 21 | Brayden Taylor | TCU | 21 | LHH | 3B | 45 / Medium Risk | Taylor is a good hitter but his skillset is an odd one. I'm weary of draft prospects like him that are ability over tools- will he walk as much as a pro? | ||||||||||||||||||
23 | 22 | Kyle Teel | Virginia | 21 | LHH | C | 45 / Medium Risk | He's been productive but fringe power will limit him. Good bat speed and contact skills but not standout. Tools behind the dish but a work in progress | ||||||||||||||||||
24 | 23 | Nolan Schanuel | Florida Atlantic | 21 | LHH | 1B | 45 / Medium Risk | It is hard to put a non elite first baseman above a 45 FV but Schanuel is tempting. He's dominated at FAU and I'll bet on him being very productive as a pro | ||||||||||||||||||
25 | 24 | Blake Mitchell | High School | 18 | LHH | C | 50 / Very High Risk | Mitchell (and Teel) will go higher than these rankings because of a shallow catching class. Big power and a big arm are the tools you look for but he's risky | ||||||||||||||||||
26 | 25 | George Lombard Jr | High School | 18 | RHH | SS | 50 / Very High Risk | Lombard is growing into more power and already possesses a solid hit tool. He has the tools to stick at shortstop but could be a third baseman too | ||||||||||||||||||
27 | 26 | Colt Emerson | High School | 18 | LHH | SS | 50 / Very High Risk | Emerson is comfortably hit over power but he does have some power potential. He's advanced at the plate with a chance to play shortstop | ||||||||||||||||||
28 | 27 | Jonny Farmelo | High School | 18 | LHH | OF | 50 / Very High Risk | Farmelo should be getting first round buzz. A high schooler with power potential and present hitting skills is worth that shot when they might play CF | ||||||||||||||||||
29 | 28 | Cade Kuehler | High School | 21 | RHP | SP | 50 / Very High Risk | Finally into the second tier of starters. Kuehler is a bit of a project but one worth taking. His fastball has very impressive shape. | ||||||||||||||||||
30 | 29 | Thomas White | High School | 18 | LHP | SP | 55 / Extreme Risk | My highest ranked lefty starter is at 29 which says something about the class. White has had a bumpy spring but is projectable with plus make up + stuff | ||||||||||||||||||
31 | 30 | Cameron Johnson | High School | 18 | LHP | SP | 55 / Extreme Risk | I'm betting on the build and arm talent here. Johnson is quite raw and needs a 3rd pitch but I like what I see. There's reliever risk but its plus stuff from a LHP | ||||||||||||||||||
32 | 31 | Brock Wilken | Wake Forest | 21 | RHH | 3B | 45 / Medium Risk | Wilken is a powerhouse hitter. He's your prototypical big bodied power hitting first baseman that can take a walk. Not much of an athlete, can maybe play 3B | ||||||||||||||||||
33 | 32 | Brice Matthews | Nebraska | 21 | RHH | SS | 50 / Very High Risk | The analytics community loves Matthews for his power and contact skills at shortstop. The idea is you can teach him to make better decisions at the plate | ||||||||||||||||||
34 | 33 | Charlee Soto | High School | 17 | RHP | SP | 55 / Extreme Risk | Soto is a risky risky pick but he's a teenager that throws 98 with a great arsenal. Big reliever risk here and I don't love the pitch shapes but he is only 17 | ||||||||||||||||||
35 | 34 | Yohandy Morales | Miami | 21 | RHH | 3B | 50 / Very High Risk | Morales is on the riskier end of the Very High Risk grade because he's got gaping exploitable weaknesses at the plate. But that power is hard to pass up | ||||||||||||||||||
36 | 35 | Jack Hurley | Virginia Tech | 21 | LHH | OF | 45 / High Risk | Kind of similar to Ledbetter in that he is a maybe in CF with great exit velocities. He chases more than Ledbetter and did it in the ACC not the SEC | ||||||||||||||||||
37 | 36 | Roch Cholowsky | High School | 18 | RHH | SS | 45 / High Risk | Cholowsky's standout defense at shortstop gives him a safer floor than most prep infielders assuming he doesn't slow down. Has struggled with high velocity. | ||||||||||||||||||
38 | 37 | Bryce Eldridge | High School | 18 | LHH | 1B | 50 / Very High Risk | Treating him like a hitter because I don't think he gets to pitch. Massive raw power but I don't think the hit tool is good enough to warrant his consensus rank | ||||||||||||||||||
39 | 38 | Dillon Head | High School | 18 | LHH | OF | 50 / Very High Risk | Head is a difference maker in the field and on the basepaths but he needs work reaching his ceiling at the plate. Slightly toned down high schooler EBJ | ||||||||||||||||||
40 | 39 | Kevin McGonigle | High School | 18 | LHH | SS | 40 / Medium Risk | Reminds me of Mariners prospect Cole Young. Very polished hit tool and will very likely be a big leaguer. I see him moving to second base. | ||||||||||||||||||
41 | 40 | Josh Knoth | High School | 17 | RHP | SP | 50 / Extreme Risk | Outstanding breaking balls thanks to his arm speed and athleticism. Solid control and velocity. Has tools in place to be a good starter or a great reliever | ||||||||||||||||||
42 | 41 | Eric Bitonti | High School | 17 | LHH | 3B | 50 / Very High Risk | Big time power for a high schooler. He doesn't make a lot of contact and probably never will but he is a great athlete and should be a plus bat at third base | ||||||||||||||||||
43 | 42 | Nazzan Zanetello | High School | 18 | RHH | INF/OF | 50 / Extreme Risk | Definitely a toolsy pick but one that I like. You're drafting the athlete here and hoping to sculpt his power and versatility into an MLB regular | ||||||||||||||||||
44 | 43 | Sammy Stafura | High School | 18 | RHH | SS | 45 / High Risk | Nothing too spectacular but he has all the tools in place to be a regular at the big league level. Should stick at shortstop and do it all | ||||||||||||||||||
45 | 44 | Jackson Baumeister | Florida State | 21 | RHP | SP | 45 / High Risk | Baumeister is worth drafting almost solely for his fastball. It vanishes on hitters and is one of those things you can't teach | ||||||||||||||||||
46 | 45 | Alexander Clemmey | High School | 18 | LHP | SP | 50 / Extreme Risk | Clemmey is about as risky of a player that comes. He's a high school pitcher with a violent delivery and huge control issues. But I can't quit that stuff. | ||||||||||||||||||
47 | 46 | Travis Sykora | High School | 19 | RHP | SP | 50 / Extreme Risk | Sykora can hit triple digits with his heater that has ride and is only in high school. That is the main thing you're drafting here | ||||||||||||||||||
48 | 47 | Brandon Sproat | Florida | 22 | RHP | SP | 45 / High Risk | Sproat has a big velocity fastball with bad shape, a very good changeup and an inconsistent slider. Even if he's a reliever he's likely a good and fast moving one | ||||||||||||||||||
49 | 48 | Juaron Watts-Brown | Oklahoma State | 21 | RHP | SP | 45 / High Risk | Watts-Brown's sticking point is his great athleticism on the mound. He will likely need to add velocity to his pitch repertoire to be an above average starter | ||||||||||||||||||
50 | 49 | Travis Honeyman | Boston College | 21 | RHH | OF | 40 / High Risk | Hits the ball hard and has the tools to handle center field long term. He's been marred with injuries and has things to work on but its a good skillset here | ||||||||||||||||||
51 | 50 | LuJames Groover III | NC State | 21 | RHH | INF | 40 / High Risk | A 60 hit tool is rare to find down the board but Groover has it. There's power projection too. He needs a defensive home, preferably not first base | ||||||||||||||||||
