Nice that missed FG locks my win for the cover.

Poo cakes

You up in the LoD!

MILB contract with an invite to spring training. Sign me up

Foook ya Cowboys!

Excellent game. I am very pleased.

Nooooooooo

I bet 50$ each individually and a 5 game parlay (4 football games and Arizona over Vancouver in hockey last night) I put 8 bucks on that and it pays 216.

Woohoo. I have the Chiefs, Cowboys, Chargers and Eagles on the spread this week

At least that's a reasonable opinion unlike the facebook comments "omgzzz worst trade ever". like wut.

But how would they benefit more by keeping him? The only argument that could me made was the mentor angle but that's already been shown Martin was not really interested in doing that while Luke is going to hold Jansen nutsack if it means him sticking on the 25 man roster.

Oh you will soon enough my friend.

Welcome to the BJMB. Are you friends with JimmybobC by any chance?

Because he's dum

I think people may have been holding out we would make a couple moves and maybe have an outside chance at a WC while not mortgaging the future. With how the off season has gone moving Martin for whatever we can get is pretty much a no brainier. Let the kiddos play.

New name?

Will be interesting to see how much $$ we ate.

Ronny Brito is a rookie ball lottery ticket. He was once a highly regarded J2 kid back in 2015.

wow!

75 Tyler Nesbitt LaBelle (Fla.) HS RHP Notes: School: LaBelle (Fla.) HS Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 183 | B-T: L-L Commit: Florida A 6-foot-2, 183-pound righthander committed to Florida, Nesbitt flew under the radar a bit throughout the summer. He showcased an 86-91 mph fastball in short outings, and flashed a slider in the 78-80 mph range that he often struggled to get on top of with consistency. His stock jumped tremendously after a highly scouted outing during Perfect Game’s WWBA World Championship in Jupiter, Fla., however, where he touched 93 mph with his fastball and—more importantly—showed the ability to consistently throw a plus breaking ball. He struck out 10 batters over five innings, and his effort was rewarded when he was named the WWBA Most Valuable Pitcher. 76 Josh Smith Louisiana State SS Notes: Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 175 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Tigers '16 (38) Scouting Report: Smith in 2017 started at third base and helped LSU to a runner-up finish at the College World Series. He was set to slide over to shortstop last year but was limited to six games due to a stress reaction in his back that he suffered early in the season and could never shake. Smith has a solid approach at the plate and understands the strike zone well. Listed at 5-foot-10, 175 pounds, the lefthanded hitter has some deceptive power, but it isn’t a primary part of his game. He is a smooth defender with an above-average arm. With a healthy spring, Smith should play his way into first day consideration. 77 Anthony Volpe Delbarton HS, Morristown, N.J. SS Notes: School: Delbarton HS, Morristown, N.J. Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 182 | B-T: R-R Commit: Vanderbilt Scouting Report: A small, righthanded-hitting shortstop out of New Jersey, scouts almost universally praise Volpe’s work ethic and the way he goes about playing the game. Volpe has very limited power, but he’s got quick hands and a compact swing that allow him to spray line drives up the middle and into the gaps. A solid runner, Volpe is a reliable defensive shortstop, making all of the routine plays with sound glovework, hands and accurate throws. There’s some effort to his delivery on throws across the diamond, but he has solid arm strength and a quick exchange that should allow him to stick up the middle. Volpe is committed to Vanderbilt. 78 Christian Koss UC Irvine SS Notes: Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 185 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Koss has established himself as one of the premier defensive shortstops in the country over the last two years. He has a long, lean frame at a listed 6-foot-2, 185 pounds and can make all the plays at shortstop. He has good hands, offers good range and has an above-average arm. In contrast to the more famous shortstops in the class, there is little doubt that he can handle the position in pro ball. Koss does not grade out as well as a hitter, however. The righthanded hitter doesn’t have the cleanest swing and he has never produced much power. He this summer in the Cape Cod League produced an adjusted OPS+ of 86 (where 100 is average), and a below-average OPS+ on the Cape in the summer before a player’s draft year is typically a red flag. But he fits the profile of players such as Nick Ahmed and Brandon Crawford who did so and went on to have productive big league careers. 79 David Hamilton Texas SS Notes: Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 170 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Angels '16 (28) Scouting Report: Hamilton is a two-year starter for Texas and this spring took over as the Longhorns’ leadoff hitter. Hamilton is a well above-average runner and his game is built around that speed. The lefthanded hitter does a good job of putting the bat on the ball and using his speed to create base hits. Listed at 5-foot-11, 170 pounds, he likely won’t ever hit for much power, but his speed helps him generate doubles and triples when he puts the ball in the gap. Hamilton’s hands and speed work well up the middle. His speed and defense figure to push him up draft boards next spring if he continues to improve at the plate. 80 Chase Strumpf UCLA OF Notes: Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 197 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Strumpf is part of a strong junior class at UCLA that includes Michael Toglia and Jeremy Ydens, and he returns for his third taste of PAC-12 competition after a breakout sophomore season. Following a freshman season in which he hit .239/.315/.399 in 55 games, Strumpf improved his slash line to .363/.475/.633 last spring. He led the team in each triple-slash category, and he also paced the Bruins with 12 home runs and 59 runs scored. Part of his production was a result of his drastically improved walk rate, which went from 9.5 percent in 2017 to 16 percent in 2018. He also increased his over-the-fence power production, making Strumpf one of the more intriguing college bats this spring. Strumpf has a chance to be an average defender at second base, though his arm strength is fringe-average and his range is also a question mark. 81 Jimmy Lewis Lake Travis HS, Austin RHP Notes: School: Lake Travis HS, Austin Ht: 6-6 | Wt: 200 | B-T: R-R Commit: Louisiana State Scouting Report: A 6-foot-6, 200-pound righthander out of Texas, Lewis has the body that scouts believe could one day turn into a durable workhorse, yet he still has some additional projection on his fastball as well. Currently, Lewis pitches in the 90-92 mph range with solid movement on the pitch. He also has two average secondary pitches—a 76-78 mph curveball with 12-to-6 break and a 78-80 mph changeup—to go along with solid strike-throwing ability. His well-rounded skillset, combined with a large frame, will have scouts checking in early and often during the spring to see if Lewis can follow a similar path as 2018 first-round pick Grayson Rodriguez, who was another large prep righthander out of Texas. 82 Cameron Cannon Arizona 3B/2B Notes: Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 175 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: D-backs '16 (21) Scouting Report: Cannon broke out as a sophomore at Arizona this spring, hitting .321/.427/.549 with eight home runs. He carried that momentum into the summer and opened eyes with his play in the Cape Cod League. Cannon earns praise for his all-around game. The righthanded hitter has a good approach and produces a lot of hard, line-drive contact. His power mostly plays as doubles pop now, and he consistently hits balls in the gaps. Cannon this summer primarily played third base and impressed at the hot corner. He has a plus arm and good hands. He has mostly played second base for Arizona and there is some feeling that he could also handle shortstop, at least as a utility player. A strong spring could see him push into the top few rounds of the draft next June. 83 Carter Young Selah (Wash.) HS SS Notes: School: Selah (Wash.) HS Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 165 | B-T: B-R Commit: Vanderbilt Scouting Report: The underclass standout on the 2017 USA Baseball 18U team, Young is one of the more polished defensive middle infielders of the class. He also impressed with his bat last year against older competition in Thunder Bay, Canada, as Team USA won gold in the World Baseball Softball Confederation World Cup. A switch-hitter, Young had something of a disappointing summer at the plate, routinely rolling over on balls to the right side of the infield, although he has shown the ability to spray hard line drives around the field. A plus runner, Young has outstanding body control defensively and can play both shortstop and second base with aplomb. He has terrific footwork around the bag on double plays from both positions, and he has a strong, accurate arm and a fast exchange. The Vanderbilt commit isn’t overflowing with tools, but he’s a solid all-around player with an impressive baseball IQ. 84 Trey Faltine Fort Bend Travis HS, Richmond, Texas INF/OF/RHP Notes: School: Fort Bend Travis HS, Richmond, Texas Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 185 | B-T: R-R Commit: Texas Scouting Report: Perhaps the most versatile player in the prep class, Faltine can play almost any position on the diamond, including shortstop, third base, outfield and pitcher. His pro future is likely as a position player, though he throws in the upper 80s off the mound with a high spin-rate fastball (2700-2800 rpm) and a 72-78 mph curveball that has some promise. Faltine is extremely athletic—he also plays football and basketball—and shows impressive body control in the infield and outfield, making a highlight-reel, diving catch at the Area Code Games this summer. He’s not polished at any specific defensive position just yet, but he has the tools to impact the game in a number of ways with a quick bat and line-drive oriented swing out of the righthanded batter’s box. Faltine is committed to Texas. 85 Matthew Lugo Carlos Beltran Baseball Academy, Florida, P.R. SS Notes: The top-ranked Puerto Rican prospect in the 2019 class, Lugo is a an athletic, 6-foot-1, 185-pound shortstop committed to Miami. Scouts are impressed with the defensive tools that Lugo displays, and while he isn’t currently as polished as some of the other defenders in the class, he has the upside to rival them as he continues to grow into his frame and clean up his actions. He has the ability to make flashy plays in the dirt, with impressive hands and the ability to throw accurately on the run, but there’s still some projecting to do on his bat. He has limited power at the moment, but he hit a 97 mph double to deep center field at Perfect Game’s WWBA World Championship, showing a glimpse of his power potential when he’s on time. He’ll need more at-bats against solid secondary offerings, and he has a tendency to get fooled at times. 86 Jonathan French Parkview HS, Lilburn, Ga. C Notes: School: Parkview HS, Lilburn, Ga. Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 213 | B-T: R-R Commit: Clemson Scouting Report: The top catching prospect in the 2019 prep class, French has close to an ideal catcher’s frame, listed at 5-foot-11, 213 pounds with a strong lower half and thick, muscular thighs. A tremendous catch-and-throw backstop with plus arm strength, French posted sub-2.00-second pop times throughout the summer with clean footwork and a quick exchange. He’s also a solid receiver. How high he goes in the draft will depend on his bat, with some scouts believing he could turn into a solid-average hitter while others are a bit more skeptical. French does have some power in his bat as well, and he utilizes the opposite field well with deep fly balls to all fields. He struck out frequently, however, and will need to more fully establish his hit tool in the spring—in a similar manner as 2018 Georgia prep catcher Anthony Seigler—if he wants to go in the first round. 87 Brady McConnell Florida SS Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 185 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Reds '17 (33) Scouting Report: McConnell in 2017 was highly regarded coming out of high school and was the highest ranked position player on the BA 500 to make it to campus. He began last year as Florida’s starting shortstop but struggled with consistency and wound up as a reserve for the Southeastern Conference champion. McConnell this year will get another chance as a draft-eligible sophomore. He’s a good athlete, and the righthanded hitter has shown good contact ability in the past. He’s an above-average runner, but he has more power than his lean frame suggests. He has the ability to make highlight reel plays in the field but needs to show more consistency. McConnell is tough to evaluate because of his sparse track record over the last year, but if he produces this spring and shows the same tools he did in high school that will soon be forgotten. 88 Bryce Osmond Jenks (Okla.) HS RHP/SS Notes: School: Jenks (Okla.) HS Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 180 | B-T: R-R Commit: Oklahoma State Scouting Report: A thin righthanded pitcher and shortstop out of Oklahoma, Osmond is athletic and has potential as a position player, although his upside is higher on the mound. Listed at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, Osmond throws his fastball in the 89-93 mph range, touching 94 mph, and complements his fastball with a hard, 81-85 mph slider that he located well this summer. He throws from a three-quarter slot with some length in the back of his arm action, and he occasionally pauses mid-leg lift to disrupt hitters’ timing. If he adds weight and gets more physical, Osmond could shoot higher up this list during the spring. He is committed to Oklahoma State. 89 Austin Bergner North Carolina RHP Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 195 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: D-backs '18 (32) Scouting Report: Bergner, listed at 6-foot-4, 195 pounds, has an impressive arsenal. His fastball sits in the low to mid-90s with late life. Both his changeup and curveball show the potential to become solid offerings, and he mixes in his offspeed pitches effectively. Bergner has been prominent since high school but has long been dogged by questions about his chances to start. His performance this summer in the Cape Cod League provided more encouragement that he can be a starter, but he’ll need to show more consistency next spring than he did this year, when he was a draft-eligible sophomore and was picked in the 32nd round by the D-backs. 90 Cade Doughty Denham Springs (La.) HS 3B Notes: School: Denham Springs (La.) HS Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 175 | B-T: R-R Commit: Louisiana State Scouting Report: A 6-foot-1, 175-pound infielder committed to Louisiana State, Doughty doesn’t have any tools that jump off the page at you, but he does seemingly everything well on the baseball field. He fields well at a number of infield positions and has a above-average arm strength. He also hops on the mound for his travel team, where he gets into the low 90s and can spot a breaking ball reasonably well. Offensively, Doughty has a wide setup at the plate with a small leg kick and quick hands. He has a line drive-oriented swing with a bat path that gets downhill at times. He should grow into more power down the line. 91 Christian Cairo Calvary Christian HS, Clearwater, Fla. SS Notes: School: Calvary Christian HS, Clearwater, Fla. Ht: 5-9 | Wt: 176 | B-T: R-R Commit: Louisiana State Scouting Report: A diminutive middle infielder out of Florida powerhouse Calvary Christian High in Clearwater, Cairo plays above his 5-foot-9, 176-pound frame. He’s got a simple, righthanded swing and good timing at the plate despite very little power. Defensively at shortstop, the Louisiana State commit has sure hands and active footwork, with the ability to make plays to his left, right and on slow-rollers in front of him with ease. The ball comes out of his hand well despite some effort at times, and he can make a myriad of throws from different spots on the field and with varying arm angles. 92 Nick Quintana Arizona 3B Notes: Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 185 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Red Sox '16 (11) Scouting Report: Quintana in 2016 was drafted in the 11th round by the Red Sox but chose to attend Arizona instead of signing. He has been a consistent presence in the Wildcats’ lineup since arriving on campus and last spring led the team with 14 home runs. Quintana has loud offensive tools but has also struggled with the amount of swing and miss in his game over the last two summers in the Cape Cod League. He has a good righthanded swing and packs above-average power into his 5-foot-10, 190-pound frame. He’s played third base in college and is a solid defender at the hot corner. 93 Mack Anglin Highland HS, Marengo, Ohio RHP Notes: School: Highland HS, Medina, Ohio Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 190 | B-T: R-R Commit: Clemson Scouting Report: A 6-foot-3, 190-pound righthander out of Ohio, Anglin throws three pitches out of a low, three-quarter slot. His repertoire starts with with a fastball that sat in the 90-93 mph range this summer with arm-side run. The Clemson commit also has a breaking ball in the 73-80 mph range that has shown solid two-plane breaking action with good depth. His breaking ball remains inconsistent, however, as he struggles to regularly stay on top of the offering. Anglin also broke out an 81-84 mph changeup at the East Coast Pro showcase that had solid fading life as well. He will need to iron out a few things in his delivery, which includes a head whack, long arm action and an inconsistent release point. 94 Davis Daniel Auburn RHP Notes: Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 180 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Brewers '18 (11) Scouting Report: A draft-eligible sophomore in 2018, Daniel had an up-and-down spring and moved from the rotation to the bullpen during the season. He got back on track late in the season and became a key weapon for the Tigers as a reliever. He carried that momentum into the summer, where he made a solid appearance in the Cape Cod League. He was drafted in the 11th round by the Brewers but opted to return to Auburn for his junior season. Daniel throws his fastball in the low 90s and regularly runs it up to 96 mph. He also throws a hard slider, which is an above-average offering at its best. Questions remain about whether he fits better in the rotation or the bullpen, and this spring will be key for Daniel as he looks to prove himself as a starter. 95 Ethan Hearn Mobile (Ala.) Christian HS C Notes: School: Mobile (Ala.) Christian HS Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 195 | B-T: L-R Commit: Mississippi State Scouting Report: A 6-foot, 195-pound catcher out of Alabama, Hearn is a strong, thick-framed backstop with plenty of arm strength and a chance for average power with his bat. He’ll routinely impress with throws down to second base in warmups and occasionally in games—with pop times as quick as 1.87 seconds in workout environments—but scouts are concerned about his mobility and footwork behind the plate. Offensively, Hearn has a smooth, lefthanded swing, but it’s more strength-based than a quick-twitch, bat speed-oriented swing. A tough player with strong makeup, Hearn showed a solid approach at the plate and made hard contact against 90-plus mph velocity throughout the summer. He is committed to Mississippi State. 96 Kyren Paris Freedom HS, Oakley, Calif. SS Notes: School: Freedom HS, Oakley, Calif. Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 163 | B-T: R-R Commit: California Scouting Report: A 5-foot-11, 163-pound shortstop out of Northern California, Paris is one of the top players from the northern half of the Golden State with impressive defensive talent and solid bat-to-ball skills. Paris doesn’t have much power in his smaller frame, but he has a quick, level bat path with fast hands and a solid eye at the plate. Defensively, Paris glides around the infield and ranges to both his left and right with ease. He puts himself in good throwing positions with active footwork and good angles to the baseball. He could work to strengthen an arm that’s currently below-average and might be a better fit for second base, although there are scouts who are confident he stays at shortstop. Paris is an above-average runner committed to California. 97 Jackson Rutledge San Jacinto (Texas) JC RHP Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 180 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted:Never Drafted The top junior college prospect not named Carter Stewart, Rutledge was ranked No. 183 on the 2017 BA 500 coming out of high school. A built righthander at 6-foot-8 and 260 pounds, Rutledge has a frame that could potentially handle a large workload, even as the game trends in the other direction at the major league level. He has a premium fastball that was in the low 90s out of high school and has ticked up since then, and it has outstanding downward, running life thanks to the natural angle he gets from his three-quarter arm slot. Rutledge also has a slider that could wind up being a putaway offering. 98 Chris Newell Malvern (Pa.) Prep HS OF Notes: School: Malvern (Pa.) Prep HS Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 187 | B-T: L-L Commit: Virginia Scouting Report: An athletic outfielder with a lean, 6-foot-3, 187-pound frame, Newell showed a solid tool-set at a number of events this summer and wowed scouts with his hit tool during a Perfect Game event in Atlanta. Newell has a smooth, uphill bat path from the left side and shows solid power with a fly ball-oriented swing. He also has above-average arm strength, though he’s still working his way back from Tommy John surgery. Defensively, scouts think he has a chance to stick in center field as an above-average runner. Newell is committed to Virginia. 99 Cam Shepherd Georgia SS Notes: Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 180 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Red Sox '16 (29) Scouting Report: Shepherd in 2016 was drafted in the 29th round by the Red Sox but opted to continue to Georgia. The following spring, he earned Freshman All-America honors and an invitation to USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team. He wasn’t quite as productive as a sophomore, though he still had a solid season for the Bulldogs. Shepherd isn’t the toolsiest shortstop in the country, but he is a steady player who does a lot of things well. He has a patient approach at the plate and good pitch recognition. The righthanded hitter’s power mostly plays as doubles pop. He is a solid defender who will likely get drafted at shortstop but may end up moving off the position eventually. 100 Spencer Brickhouse East Carolina 1B Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 220 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted A powerful, lefthanded-hitting slugger out of East Carolina, Brickhouse has put up back-to-back 10-homer seasons with the Pirates and offers plus raw power to all fields. Brickhouse has posted .200-plus isolated slugging marks in each of the last two years, and he hit four home runs and five doubles in 40 games in the Cape Cod League last summer. The Cape Cod all-star game MVP, Brickhouse made major strides in reducing his strikeout rate as a sophomore in the American Athletic Conference, but he still struck out in 25 percent of his at-bats in the summer. The bat is the calling card with Brickhouse, and he will likely be limited to first base at the next level. More optimistic evaluators might experiment with him in a corner outfield spot, however.

While the draft is still six months away, here at Baseball America we can’t help but to get excited. With that, we are happy to release our first combined 2019 draft list, which includes four-year college, junior college and high school prospects. We’ll continue to gather information throughout the high school and college seasons, and much is sure to change as we get closer and closer to June 3. By the time the final version of the BA 500 is released in May, many players on this list will have moved thanks to performance, injuries and the fact that BA will have much more information from scouts, evaluators and coaches. However, we still believe it’s valuable to get a snapshot of how the draft class looks before scouts start heading out to ballparks en masse. Unsurprisingly, the class is led by Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman, who remains the consensus top prospect in the class, followed by Colleyville (Texas) High shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., who is safely the top prep prospect in the class. Six hitters follow Rutschman and Witt on the list before a pitcher makes an appearance, with Duke lefthander Graeme Stinson ranked No. 9 and IMG Academy (Bradenton, Fla.) righthander Brennan Malone rounding out the top 10. As the first ten players illustrate, the 2019 class is heavy on hitters. Position players comprise 57 percent of the top 100 at this point, which is a significantly higher share than the 2018 draft class, which was hailed for its strong pitching depth on both the high school and college sides. Pitchers made up 51 percent of the top 100 of the final BA 500 last year. Coincidentally, the breakdown of four-year, junior college and high school prospects is identical from year to year, with 50 players coming out of four-year universities, 48 from the high school ranks and two junior college prospects. Here’s a complete breakdown of the class demographics at this point, compared with the top 100 prospects from the final 2018 BA 500: 2019 2018 Catcher 4 5 Corner Infield 12 7 Middle Infield 23 14 Outfield 18 23 LHP 10 8 RHP 33 43 Updated on: 1/10/2019 1 Adley Rutschman Oregon State C Notes: Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 185 | B-T: B-R Commit/Drafted: Mariners '16 (40) Scouting Report: The consensus top college prospect, Rutschman led Oregon State to a College World Series title during his sophomore season while leading the Beavers in hitting. He then joined USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team shortly after his college season and led all USA hitters in each triple slash category. Rutschman has been on scouts’ radars since he was in high school, where he had impressive raw power, touched 94 mph off the mound and was also an elite kicker—he served as the Beavers’ place kicker during his freshman season before turning his focus completely to baseball. After polishing his game in all facets in Corvallis, Rutschman has no holes in his game, with plus defensive tools ranging from receiving ability to a strong, accurate arm. He’s a plus hitter from both sides of the plate with a long track record of hitting, and he’s also a fierce leader on the field and the favorite to become the first overall pick next June. 2 Bobby Witt Jr. Colleyville (Texas) Heritage HS SS Notes: School: Colleyville (Texas) Heritage HS Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 183 | B-T: R-R Commit: Oklahoma Scouting Report: A five-tool talent out of Texas and the son of a former 16-year major leaguer, Bobby Witt Jr. has an expansive toolset that includes plus power, speed, arm strength and defensive ability at shortstop. How high Witt Jr. goes in the draft next spring will depend on the conviction that scouts have in his hit tool, as evaluators have questions about the amount of swing-and-miss in his game after his performance this summer. Still, he hit massive home runs at multiple events this summer against top competition and routinely impacts the game defensively thanks to his elite hands, quick footwork and the ability to throw on the run and from multiple arm slots. Witt Jr. is committed to Oklahoma. 3 C.J. Abrams Blessed Trinity HS, Roswell, Ga. SS Notes: School: Blessed Trinity HS, Roswell, Ga. Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 185 | B-T: L-R Commit: Alabama Scouting Report: A speedy shortstop out of Georgia, Abrams has some of the best bat-to-ball skills of the 2019 class with a simple, clean stroke from the lefthanded batter’s box. He uses his elite contact ability and plus-plus speed to drive balls to both outfield gaps for extra-base hits, and he beats out infield singles by routinely posting 70-grade run times from home to first. Abrams has below-average raw power and rolls over on the ball at times, leading some scouts to question his future impact potential, but his defensive ability at shortstop is among the best in the class. He has a short arm action, quick hands and a fast exchange with excellent range, allowing his arm to play up. He also logged a few innings in center field this summer, where he chased down balls well. Abrams is committed to Alabama. 4 Andrew Vaughn California 1B Notes: Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 214 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: The 2018 Golden Spikes award winner, Vaughn put up one of the best offensive campaigns in Cal’s history, with a .402/.531/.819 slash line and 23 home runs—tying the Cal record previously set by Xavier Nady in 1999. He had a quiet summer with the Collegiate National Team, but scouts and coaches alike rave about Vaughn’s feel to hit, which is coupled with a preternatural feel for the strike zone and tremendous raw power. He’s walked 63 times compared to 42 strikeouts in two seasons with Cal, and he’s also a solid defender at first base. Vaughn should get drafted near the top of the first round as he is arguably the best all-around hitter in the 2019 draft class. 5 Riley Greene Hagerty HS, Oviedo, Fla. OF Notes: School: Hagerty HS, Oviedo, Fla. Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 197 | B-T: L-L Commit: Florida Scouting Report: An outfielder out of Florida, Greene is arguably the best overall hitter in the high school class. He entered the 2019 draft cycle as one of the most anticipated hitters, and he did nothing to dispel that status by performing in several events this summer, routinely squaring up the best pitchers in the class. Greene has a small hitch in his smooth, lefthanded swing, but he has more than enough bat speed to avoid it being a red flag. He has a patient approach and a great understanding of the strike zone, with solid power and a chance for more as he fills out his 6-foot-1, 192-pound frame. He likely fits best in a corner at the next level as a below-average runner with questionable jumps at times, but he has an accurate arm. He is committed to Florida. 6 Shea Langeliers Baylor C Notes: Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 190 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Blue Jays '16 (34) Scouting Report: In a typical draft class, the Baylor backstop would be a safe bet as the top catcher in the class, but Langeliers has to deal with Rutschman ahead of him in the 2019 group. Still, Langeliers has a solid, all-around toolset with no weaknesses in his game aside from being a below-average runner—which is the least important tool for a pro catcher. He projects as a solid-average hitter with average power, and even more juice to the pull-side, with a strong defensive skill set behind the plate. Langeliers has above-average receiving and blocking ability as well as a strong, accurate arm, which he used to throw out almost 70 percent of basestealers last spring. 7 Corbin Carroll Lakeside HS, Seattle OF Notes: School: Lakeside HS, Seattle Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 160 | B-T: L-L Commit: UCLA Scouting Report: Carroll established himself as one of the best pure bats in the class over the summer after dominating at the plate in every high-profile event he attended. The 5-foot-9, 165-pound outfielder has a quick, balanced swing and a terrific feel for the barrel, as well as a keen understanding of the strike zone and a patient approach in the lefthanded batter’s box. Carroll is more than willing to take a walk and then cause havoc on the bases as a plus runner, but he also has sneaky pop in his bat that allows him to hit for extra bases. Defensively, Carroll projects to stick in center field and be a solid defender there. Add everything up and there are no real holes in Carroll’s game—unless you want to nitpick his size. He is committed to UCLA. 8 Josh Jung Texas Tech 3B Notes: Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 215 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: The Big 12 Freshman of the Year after a solid 2017 campaign with Texas Tech, Jung took a step forward during his sophomore season this spring, posting a .392/.491/.639 slash line and doubling his home run output from six to 12. A physical, 6-foot-2, 215-pound third baseman, Jung has a solid, backside-heavy approach at the plate with plenty of strength and bat speed. More power should come for him down the road as he learns how to pull the ball more aggressively, but for now Jung seems content to keep his hands inside the ball and drive it the other way. Defensively, opinions range from below-average to plus on Jung’s work at the hot corner, as he’s more capable coming in on balls than moving laterally. He has below-average quickness but solid hands and a strong arm. 9 Graeme Stinson Duke LHP Notes: Ht: 6-5 | Wt: 250 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: A big, physical lefthander with tantalizing upside as a high schooler in the 2016 draft class, Stinson has steadily climbed closer and closer to his ceiling during his collegiate career. The 6-foot-5, 250-pound southpaw significantly lowered his walk rate from his freshman to sophomore season and also impressed scouts as the top arm on USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team this summer. Armed with a plus fastball and slider—which some scouts label a grade higher at plus-plus—Stinson has the potential to be an innings-eating workhorse in the starting rotation. However, he’ll need to establish a track record of success as a starter next spring to convince scouts, as he’s pitched more frequently out of the bullpen to this point, and teams wonder about his athleticism and ability to repeat his delivery. He’s got some of the best stuff in the class and is trending in the right direction, but will need to put it all together during his junior season. 10 Brennan Malone IMG Academy, Bradenton, Fla. RHP Notes: School: IMG Academy, Bradenton, Fla. Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 203 | B-T: R-R Commit: North Carolina Scouting Report: A 6-foot-3, 203-pound righthander, Malone put himself at the top of the high school pitching class thanks to an excellent package of starter traits, premium stuff and projection for more down the line. His fastball is among the best in the class, touching 97 mph and sitting in the low to mid-90s in short stints this summer. His quick and loose arm action, combined with a terrific frame, lead scouts to believe he will touch 100 mph at some point. Malone throws a slider and curveball that are presently inconsistent, but have shown flashes at times this summer. His low-80s slider is currently ahead of a mid- to upper-70s curveball, and he also throws a mid-80s changeup with solid arm speed. Malone transferred out of North Carolina and will play his final high school season at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. He’s committed to North Carolina. 11 Daniel Espino Georgia Premier Academy, Statesboro, Ga. RHP Notes: School: Bulloch Academy, Statesboro, Ga. Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 196 | B-T: R-R Commit: Louisiana State Scouting Report: The Georgia righthander has the best present stuff of any pitcher in the high school class—with no exceptions. His fastball touched 100 mph this summer, and the pitch regularly sat in the 94-98 mph range in short stints. His mid-70s curveball is a plus pitch presently, with sharp, late break, and he also throws a slider in the low 80s with late life that could become another plus offering. Espino infrequently throws an 86-89 mph changeup that needs refinement. Born in Panama, Espino lacks the future projection of other arms in the class. Some scouts worry about the length to his arm action, but he has a strong lower half and gets off the mound with tremendous force, allowing others to worry less about the stress he’ll endure on his elbow and shoulder. 12 Zack Thompson Kentucky LHP Notes: Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 225 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Rays '16 (11) Scouting Report: An elbow injury limited Thompson to just 31 innings of work this spring, but the 6-foot-2, 225-pound lefthander impressed scouts in a brief, three-appearance look with the Collegiate National Team, where he sat in the low 90s and complimented his fastball with an 82-84 mph, high-spin rate slider. Thompson also throws a fringe-average curveball and solid changeup, which give him the tools to become a middle-of-the-rotation starter if he stays healthy and lowers a walk rate that’s been just under five batters per nine innings at Kentucky. Scouts like Thompson’s athleticism and delivery, which allow them to be optimistic about the walk rate trending in the right direction. He could go high in the first round with a solid junior campaign. 13 Tyler Dyson Florida RHP Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 210 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Dyson opened the spring as Florida’s Sunday starter, pitching behind Brady Singer and Jackson Kowar in the rotation. A nagging shoulder injury limited him in the second half of the season, but he was able to get back on the mound and pitched well in the Cape Cod League. At his best, Dyson can be as electric as his former Gators teammates. He can run his fastball into the mid-90s and mixes in a sharp slider and an effective changeup. Listed at 6-foot-3, 225 pounds, he has the size, stuff and control to start. Dyson still needs to improve his consistency—he loses his crispness for an inning at times and things go sideways—and prove his durability in the rotation for a full spring. But if he can put it all together, Dyson can front the Gators’ rotation and follow the well-worn path from Gainesville to the first round. 14 Jerrion Ealy Jackson (Miss.) Prep HS OF Notes: School: Jackson (Miss.) Prep HS Ht: 5-9 | Wt: 179 | B-T: R-R Commit: Uncommitted Scouting Report: A dynamic, quick-twitch athlete, Ealy was committed to Mississippi as both an outfielder and a four-star running back but decommitted earlier this week. Arguably the fastest runner in the class, Ealy ran a 6.49-second 60-yard dash at East Coast Pro in August. He also brings a plus arm, plus bat speed and elite hand-eye coordination to the table. Ealy rarely swings and misses at the plate, and while he might be a tough aggressive in the box now, has all the tools to become a dynamic offensive player if he ever decides to focus exclusively on baseball. He also gets excellent jumps in the outfield and could be a plus defender in the future. 15 Carter Stewart East Florida State JC RHP Notes: School: East Florida State JC Ht: 6-6 | Wt: 200 | B-T: R-R Commit: Mississippi State Scouting Report:Ranked No. 9 on the BA 500 in 2018, Stewart was the second high school pitcher selected last year when the Braves grabbed him with the draft’s eighth overall pick. Stewart radically improved his draft stock after a spring season with Eau Gallie (Melbourne, Fla.) High where he improved his fastball velocity and touched 97-98 mph to complement the best breaking ball in the class—a low-80s curveball with an absurdly high spin rate in the 3,000 rpm range. Medical concerns with a wrist injury prevented the Braves and Stewart from agreeing to a deal, leading Stewart to file a grievance against the team—which the Braves won. He then enrolled at Eastern Florida State JC instead of Mississippi State, where he was originally committed. If healthy, Stewart’s pure stuff compares well with any pitcher in the 2019 draft class. He’s got an impressive frame at 6-foot-6, 200-pounds with advanced body control, but teams will need to be convicted in his health after seeing how the 2018 draft situation unfolded. 16 Nick Lodolo Texas Christian LHP Notes: Ht: 6-6 | Wt: 180 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Pirates '16 (1s) Scouting Report: The Pirates drafted Lodolo 41st overall in 2016 but he decided not to sign, opting instead to play for TCU. He immediately joined the Horned Frogs’ rotation, where he has been solid, but not dominant, over the last two years. Lodolo has a long, lean, projectable frame at 6-foot-6, 185 pounds. His lively fastball sits in the low 90s and he uses his height to throw it from a steep downhill angle. He mixes in a sharp curveball and a changeup. He can create plenty of swings and misses (he averaged 10.87 strikeouts per nine innings last spring) but he also has been hit more than would be expected for a pitcher with his stuff (9.35 hits per nine innings). Lodolo’s upside is significant, and with a strong spring he could be the top college pitcher off the board. 17 Matthew Thompson Cypress Ranch HS, Houston RHP Notes: School: Cypress Ranch HS, Houston Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 184 | B-T: R-R Commit: Texas A&M Scouting Report: The top pitcher out of Texas, Thompson is an immensely athletic righthanded pitcher who jumped onto national radars as an underclassman last fall. Thompson’s fastball ranged from 88-93 mph early in the summer before ticking up into the 91-93 mph range as the season progressed. He throws from a high, three-quarter slot with electric arm speed and shows great feel to spin the baseball. Thompson throws a low-80s slider that has hard, late break and two-plane action that routinely draws whiffs and causes batters to expand the zone. He also showed some feel for a solid, 76-79 mph curveball with 11-to-5 break. Thompson is committed to Texas A&M. 18 Will Holland Auburn SS Notes: Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 181 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Holland is toolsy and in 2018 established a strong track record for performance as one of the top hitters for the Tigers. He’s an aggressive hitter, but he can put a charge into the ball. He has more power than his 5-foot-11, 185-pound frame suggests, and he produces a lot of hard-hit balls. He is a plus runner who knows how to use his speed on the bases. Holland can make highlight reel plays at shortstop and has both the range and arm strength for the position. Much like he is at the plate, he is still a bit raw defensively, but his tools will play at shortstop if he can smooth out some of the rough edges. 19 Matthew Allan Seminole (Fla.) HS RHP Notes: School: Seminole (Fla.) HS Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 210 | B-T: R-R Commit: Florida Scouting Report: A 6-foot-3, 210-pound righthander committed to Florida, Allan is a strong, physical pitcher with a pair of potential plus offerings in a fastball that has touched 96 mph and a big, 12-to-6 downer curveball. Allan works out of a slow windup and throws from a three-quarter arm slot, but he struggled with command at times throughout the summer. He will need to improve the consistency of his fastball command during the spring, as he would land his breaking ball for strikes more consistently than his heater. Allan occasionally threw a firm, 87-89 mph changeup that could develop into a quality third pitch as well. 20 Will Wilson North Carolina State SS Notes: Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 175 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: An All-ACC first team selection after posting a .307/.376/.588 slash line with 15 home runs this past spring, Wilson became the first member of the Wolfpack to be named ACC player of the week three separate times. The 6-foot, 175-pound infielder has great bat-to-ball skills and instincts, projecting as an offensive-oriented second baseman at the next level with a track record of hitting that dates back to his high school days. Wilson’s below-average speed make him a better fit for the keystone, where he’s solid with the glove and could be at least an average defender. His feel for hitting and above-average power potential are the main tools that will get him drafted, perhaps as high as the first round if he has a strong junior season. 21 Brett Baty Lake Travis HS, Austin Notes: School: Lake Travis HS, Austin Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 218 | B-T: L-R Commit: Texas Scouting Report: If there’s a player who could rival Rece Hinds for the most raw power in the 2018 class, Baty might be the best bet. The corner infielder from Texas brings plenty of pop to the table with a physical, 6-foot-3, 218-pound frame and quick, uppercut swing from the left side. Baty hit the ball hard more consistently than most prep hitters throughout the summer and routinely stands out during batting practice with power to all fields. Like many big, power-hitting high school infielders, defense will be the question with Baty. He’s a more natural fit for first base and will need to improve his glovework, exchange and throwing accuracy to continue at third base. Baty is committed to Texas. 22 Alek Manoah West Virginia RHP Notes: Ht: 6-6 | Wt: 260 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Manoah has mostly worked out of the bullpen over the last two years for West Virginia, but this summer he was one of the best starters on the Cape. Manoah strikes an imposing figure on the mound at a listed 6-foot-7, 270 pounds and has the fastball to match. He pitches in the mid-90s and can touch 98 mph in shorter stints. His slider is his best secondary pitch and has the makings of a plus offering. He also mixes in a good changeup. Manoah fills the strike zone and holds his velocity well, giving plenty of indications that he can remain in the rotation. He figures to become one of the highest drafted players in West Virginia history, with a chance to become the program’s first first-rounder since 1997. 23 Tyler Callihan Providence HS, Jacksonville 3B/2B Notes: School: Providence HS, Jacksonville Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 211 | B-T: L-R Commit: South Carolina Scouting Report: The state of Florida is loaded once again on the prep side, as the Jacksonville-based Callihan has an argument to be one of the top hitters in the class. He has a quick lefthanded swing with lots of strength in his 5-foot-11, 211-pound frame. Callihan routinely hits deep, towering fly balls in batting practice and also showed off his raw power during USA Baseball’s 18U trials, homering against an elevated 90 mph fastball. Defense will be the biggest question with the South Carolina commit. He has a chance to stick at third base, but plenty of work needs to be done in terms of improving his hands and footwork for the position. 24 Rece Hinds IMG Academy, Bradenton, Fla. 3B Notes: School: Niceville (Fla.) HS Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 210 | B-T: R-R Commit: Louisiana State Scouting Report: Looking for the biggest power in the class? Look no further than Hinds, who packs a tremendous punch into his righthanded swing. His power is easily plus right now, and multiple evaluators say it could be 80-grade juice in the future. With a strong, 6-foot-4, 210-pound frame, Hinds muscles balls out to all fields with ease, though in-game he’s had real swing-and-miss issues that scouts will bear down on in the spring. Defensively, he’s got one of the strongest arms in the class from the left side of the infield, though he’s likely too big for shortstop already. He also has plenty of work to do in refining his glovework and improving his throwing accuracy on the run to stick at third base. Hinds is committed to Louisiana State. 25 Ryne Nelson Oregon RHP Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 182 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Nelson was a two-way player at Oregon this spring, playing shortstop and closing games for the Ducks. He has one of the most electric arms in the country. He touched 99 mph this spring and focused on pitching this summer in the Cape Cod League. Nelson has a power arm and electric stuff. His fastball reached 95 mph in the Cape Cod all-star game, and he mixes in a sharp, hard slider as well as a changeup. Listed at 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, he has a long, lean, athletic frame and a clean delivery. Nelson has never started but is expected to do so at Oregon next spring, and scouts are eager to see how he handles the role. Even if he ultimately fits better in the bullpen, he’ll still likely be one of the premium arms for the 2019 draft, which is short on slam-dunk starters. 26 Spencer Jones La Costa Canyon HS, Carlsbad, Calif. 1B/LHP Notes: School: La Costa Canyon HS, Carlsbad, Calif. Ht: 6-7 | Wt: 212 | B-T: L-L Commit: Vanderbilt Scouting Report: The top two-way player in the class, Jones is a lanky, 6-foot-7, 212-pound lefthanded pitcher and first baseman. While he has more upside as a pitcher, Jones did show good feel for the barrel and is surprisingly athletic for his size, stealing bases and posting a 4.22-second home-to-first run time at the Area Code Games this summer. On the mound, Jones throws a fastball that is mostly in the 89-93 mph range in short stints, but also has a mid- to upper-70s curveball with tremendous depth that projects as a plus offering. Because of his size, athleticism and the efficiency of his delivery despite only pitching seriously for about a year, Jones has some of the highest upside of any player in the class. He is committed to Vanderbilt. 27 Bryson Stott Nevada-Las Vegas SS Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 195 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: One of the top shortstops in the 2019 class, Stott has hit well in two years with Nevada-Las Vegas in the Mountain West Conference, posting a combined .333 /.405/.474 slash line during his first two years. Stott joined the Collegiate National Team this summer and impressed the coaching staff with his defensive work up the middle, with improved footwork as well as solid body control and accurate throws to the bag. He showed solid feel for the barrel, but scouts were disappointed with the amount of impact Stott generated with an approach that was too frequently slap-heavy. The look raised some concern for his overall offensive package, but Stott does have a solid wood-bat track record outside of Team USA, in both the Cape Cod and Northwoods Summer Leagues. 28 Braden Shewmake Texas A&M SS/3B Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 190 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: A lanky, 6-foot-4, 190-pound infielder, Shewmake can play any infield position, but started all 61 games at shortstop for Texas A&M last spring. He’s been an extremely consistent hitter in the SEC, posting a combined .327/.384/.492 slash line over two seasons, though that hitter did not show up for USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team this summer. Scouts believe there’s still more in the bat for Shewmake, especially as he adds more weight and strength to his frame, but others note he’s been wiry throughout his collegiate career and wonder how much he’ll be able to tack on. Finding the best defensive home for Shewmake will be a challenge for scouts, as he could profile as a third baseman with solid glovework if additional power comes. Evaluators also haven’t ruled out a move to the outfield, where his above-average speed could play well. Most believe he’ll outgrow shortstop. 29 J.J. Bleday Vanderbilt OF Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 205 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Padres '16 (39) Scouting Report: A two-year starter at Vanderbilt, Bleday led the Commodores in hitting this spring and he followed it up with a strong summer in the Cape Cod League. Bleday is listed at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds and looks the part of a right fielder. He has good pitch recognition and does a good job of consistently barreling the ball. The lefthanded hitter has a balanced swing, produces good bat speed and got to his plus raw power better this summer than he has previously. Bleday has plus arm strength and covers ground in the outfield. Players with his profile don’t often go in the first round, but if he makes a jump with his power, like Oregon State’s Trevor Larnach did this spring, he could become an exception to the rule. 30 Maurice Hampton Memphis University HS OF Notes: School: Memphis University HS Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 210 | B-T: R-R Commit: Louisiana State Scouting Report: A two-sport star committed to Louisiana State as both an outfielder and four-star cornerback, Hampton has plenty of rawness to iron out of his game. He excelled with the bat throughout the summer, however, showing a glimpse of his high upside and intriguing toolset. A 6-foot, 210-pound righthanded hitter, Hampton has more than enough power and speed potential to make an impact at the plate. Defensively, he has natural arm strength, but he’ll need to work on cleaning up both his arm action and footwork and also improve his jumps and routes on fly balls. 31 Michael Busch North Carolina 1B Notes: Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 207 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Busch this spring was a key piece of North Carolina’s College World Series team and continued to stand out at the plate over the summer in the Cape Cod League. Busch has an excellent feel for hitting. The lefthanded hitter this year walked more than he struck out and consistently barrels up balls. He generates impressive bat speed, which leads to plus power that he gets to well in games. Busch’s biggest drawback is that he’s a slightly undersized first baseman at a listed 6-foot, 207 pounds. He may not be limited to first base, however, as some evaluators believe he could move around the infield or to an outfield corner. But if he keeps hitting the way he did this year his size and position won’t matter. 32 Kameron Misner Missouri OF Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 210 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Royals '16 (33) Scouting Report: Drafted in 2016 in the 33rd round by the Royals, Misner continued on to Missouri, where he has been a regular in the lineup since his arrival on campus. He this year was slowed by a broken foot, which limited him to 34 games in the spring and kept him out this summer. Listed at 6-foot-4, 219 pounds, Misner has a powerful, athletic frame and an easy lefthanded swing. His approach is geared toward hitting line drives up the middle, and he makes consistent hard contact. His size and bat speed give him solid raw power, but he’s still learning to make the most of it. His speed and arm are both above-average, giving him a chance to play all three outfield positions. 33 Kyle Stowers Stanford OF Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 200 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Stowers this spring emerged as one of the power threats in Stanford’s lineup, and his excellent summer in the Cape Cod League helped him significantly raise his profile. The lefthanded hitter has a smooth swing and generates impressive bat speed. He is listed at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds and has above-average power. That power does come with a healthy dose of swing and miss, and he struck out in 23 percent of his plate appearances over the summer. Stowers has mostly played in the outfield corners and his speed and arm strength fit well there, though he is also a solid defender at first base. Stowers has also pitched sparingly for Stanford, but his future is as a hitter. 34 Logan Wyatt Louisville 1B Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 225 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Wyatt this spring took over as Louisville’s starting first baseman, replacing Brendan McKay. Wyatt isn’t a two-way superstar like the 2017 Player of the Year, but he did a good job filling McKay’s hole in the lineup and was the Cardinals’ leading hitter. He carried that momentum into the summer, where he led the Cape Cod League in walks (29) and ranked second in on-base percentage. Wyatt is an extremely disciplined hitter and this spring walked 63 times and struck out 37. The lefthanded hitter is listed at 6-foot-4, 225 pounds, and his power will come as he refines his swing and learns to tap into his raw juice. He’s limited defensively to first base, but if his power comes, he’ll profile well at the position. 35 Matt Wallner Southern Mississippi OF/RHP Notes: Ht: 6-5 | Wt: 220 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Twins '16 (32) Scouting Report: Listed at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, Wallner, the 2017 Freshman of the Year, has impressive physical tools and makes the most of them. He has plus raw power but will have to become more consistent at the plate to get the most out of it. He this summer struck out in more than 25 percent of his plate appearances on the Cape and will need to cut down on his swing and miss. Wallner has above-average speed and a plus arm and looks the part of a prototypical right fielder. He also has pitched for Southern Miss, and his arm strength plays well on the mound, where he runs his fastball into the mid-90s and mixes in a slider. He’s expected this spring to pitch more but his future is still likely as an outfielder. 36 George Kirby Elon RHP Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 205 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Mets '16 (32) Kirby ranked as the No. 50 player in the Cape Cod League last summer and will form an impressive 1-2 punch in Elon’s rotation along with fellow righthander Kyle Brnovich. While he threw just five innings in the Cape, Kirby posted excellent numbers (1.71 ERA, 12.60 K/9) during his sophomore season at Elon, and area scouts were thrilled with his progress last fall. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound righthander throws a fastball in the mid-90s and has touched 97 mph recently, and he locates the pitch well to both sides of the plate. He throws both a curveball and a slider, with scouts seeing both offerings as future average—the former in the 78-82 mph range and the latter a more firm, 85-87 mph breaking ball. He also breaks out a changeup that could be his second-best offering behind a plus fastball. While Brnovich has the gaudier strikeout numbers from last season, Kirby has an above-average, clean arm action and plenty of starter traits that get teams excited. 37 Hunter Barco Bolles HS, Jacksonville LHP Notes: School: Bolles HS, Jacksonville Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 201 | B-T: L-L Commit: Florida Scouting Report: One of the hottest names coming into the 2019 draft cycle, Barco had a bit of an up-and-down summer. He is still one of the top lefthanded pitchers in the draft class, however, with some scouts saying he’s a top five prep player in the class. The 6-foot-4, 201-pound southpaw has three pitches that could be projected as plus—fastball, slider, changeup—and his fastball was mostly in the 89-92 mph range this summer with tremendous running action and sink. Barco throws from a very low, practically sidearm delivery, which gives both his fastball and low spin rate changeup plenty of run and fade, respectively. Yet, that low arm slot can also hurt the consistency of his slider at times. Many scouts believe that when Barco puts away the bat—he’s got above-average raw power but lots of swing-and-miss at the plate—he’ll take a big jump forward on the mound. Previously committed to Virginia, Barco is now a Florida commit. 38 Logan Davidson Clemson SS Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 185 | B-T: B-R Commit/Drafted: Phillies '16 (30) Scouting Report: Over the last two years, Davidson has built a dichotomous track record. At Clemson, he has raked and looked like a future first-rounder. But hitting with wood bats in the Cape Cod League, he has struggled in back-to-back years. If Davidson goes in the top three rounds of the 2019 draft, as expected, his poor Cape performance will have few precedents since 2000. His adjusted OPS+ of 58 (where 100 is average) would be the third-lowest for a player with at least 100 at-bats on the Cape the summer before his draft year in the past 19 years. Despite his poor summer performance, Davidson’s standout tools remain attractive to scouts. Long and lean at a listed 6-foot-3, 190 pounds, the switch-hitter has above-average power and enough athleticism to give him a chance at shortstop. His swing has some length to it, which, along with an inconsistent approach, leads to his high strikeout rate. Davidson has improved at shortstop over the last year, but he’ll need to further refine his infield actions and range to stick. With another solid offensive season at Clemson, he will probably go in the first round, but a pair of discouraging summers have raised questions. 39 Jack Leiter Delbarton HS, Morristown, N.J. RHP Notes: School: Delbarton HS, Morristown, N.J. Ht: 6-0 | Wt: 191 | B-T: R-R Commit: Vanderbilt Scouting Report: Armed with one of the best breaking balls of the class, Leiter is the son of former 19-year major leaguer, Al Leiter, and is one of the most polished pitchers in the 2019 class. Standing at just 6 feet and 191 pounds, Leiter pitched in the 89-93 mph range throughout the summer but had a loud outing at the Area Code Games, where he touched 95 mph and sat in the 91-94 mph range for two innings. His go-to pitch is a hammer, 12-to-6 curveball in the 74-78 mph range that has a spin rate between 2,500 and 2,600 rpm. Leiter shows exceptional feel to locate the pitch and lands a low-80s slider with consistency as well. The Vanderbilt commit also throws an 80-84 mph changeup with solid arm speed. 40 Brooks Lee SS/2B San Luis Obispo (Calif.) HS Notes: School: San Luis Obispo (Calif.) HS Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 180 | B-T: B-R Commit: Cal Poly Scouting Report: An Area Code Games standout, Lee is one of the top prospects out of Southern California and showed tremendous feel for the game on both sides of the ball at this summer’s event in Long Beach, Calif. A 6-foot-1, 180-pound infielder, Lee has excellent feel to hit that stacks up with most players in the class, routinely barreling the ball and hitting hard, low line drives. He doesn’t have much power and he’s a below-average runner, but Lee also displayed impressive defensive skills with a quick exchange, solid athleticism and an accurate arm from shortstop and second base. Lee, whose father Larry played minor league baseball in the 1980s, is committed to Cal Poly. 41 Kendall Williams IMG Academy, Bradenton, Fla. RHP Notes: School: IMG Academy, Bradenton, Fla. Ht: 6-6 | Wt: 190 | B-T: R-R Commit: Vanderbilt Scouting Report: An immensely projectable righthander, Williams is a 6-foot-6, 190-pound Vanderbilt commit out of IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla. Williams throws from the third base side of the rubber and gets good angle against righthanded hitters with a high, three-quarter arm slot. He worked mostly in the low 90s throughout the summer, but could easily see a jump in velocity thanks to a fast arm and plenty of room to continue filling out physically. Williams’ low- to mid-70s breaking ball ranged from an 11-to-5 break to having more of a natural, three-quarter bend, depending on the event. At East Coast Pro, the pitch showed plenty of horizontal and vertical movement, and he successfully used it as a backdoor offering against lefthanded batters. Williams also worked in a 78-83 mph changeup with solid fading action at times. 42 Nasim Nunez Collins Hill HS, Suwanee, Ga. SS Notes: School: Collins Hill HS, Suwanee, Ga. Ht: 5-9 | Wt: 160 | B-T: S-R Commit: Clemson Scouting Report: One of the elite defensive shortstops in the 2019 high school class, Nunez is a slick-fielding, 5-foot-9,160-pound switch-hitter out of Georgia. He’s got a plus arm with plenty of quick-twitch athleticism and a great internal clock that should allow him to stick at the position. He also has quick hands and a knack for throwing accurately from multiple arm angles and positions on the field. The offensive ability will be the question with Nunez, who has a swing that’s more natural from the right side with limited power, although he is a plus runner. He is committed to Clemson. 43 Mason Feole Connecticut LHP Notes: Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 194 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: A 6-foot-1, 195-pound lefthander with a funky, unorthodox delivery, Feole struck out 120 batters in 100.1 innings for Connecticut this spring. He then joined USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team during the summer and struck out nine batters in 11 innings, holding batters to just a .097 opponent average. Feole throws an 89-93 mph fastball that plays up given the deception in his delivery, and he also has a mid-70s, 12-to-6 curveball that could become a plus offering. Feole has had success as a starter with the Huskies, but without improving his head whack, walk rate (4.38 walks per nine innings last spring), or developing a third pitch, scouts think he’s destined for the bullpen. Still, his present two-pitch mix could be an asset in a relief role at the next level. 44 Michael Toglia UCLA 1B/OF Notes: Ht: 6-5 | Wt: 200 | B-T: B-L Commit/Drafted: Rockies '16 (35) Scouting Report: Toglia was a well-regarded recruit coming out of the Washington prep ranks, and he’s built a solid track record for hitting throughout his college career. Listed at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds, Toglia has a big, projectable frame and is a switch hitter. He has an easy swing with natural loft, and when he’s in sync his power comes easily. He’s a patient hitter, sometimes to a fault, and his power comes with a fair amount of swing and miss. Toglia has mostly played first base over the last year and he has the ability to become an above-average defender at the position. He also has experience as a corner outfielder and he could play left field in pro ball, but his range is limited in the outfield. 45 Greg Jones UNC-Wilmington SS Notes: Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 170 | B-T: B-R Commit/Drafted: Orioles '17 (17) Scouting Report: Jones has elite speed and his game is built around it both offensively and defensively. He is a switch hitter and is at his best when he stays back and sprays line drives to all fields. He has more power as a righthanded hitter and while he’ll probably always have below-average pop, he has room to fill out his 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame and, when he does, he should start driving the ball with more authority. He is aggressive at the plate and there are concerns about how much he swings and misses. Jones has mostly played shortstop but this summer also saw time in center field. Observers preferred him in center field, where he runs down balls with ease and has a plus arm. His hands and infield actions will need work if he is to stay at shortstop. Even with some concerns about the rough edges of his game, Jones’ raw tools remain exciting. 46 J.J. Goss Cypress Ranch HS, Houston RHP Notes: School: Cypress Ranch HS, Houston Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 172 | B-T: R-R Commit: Texas A&M Scouting Report: Goss, like his high school teammate Matthew Thompson, is also committed to Texas A&M. The 6-foot-2, 172-pound righthander has a fastball that sat in the 89-92 mph range this summer, getting into the mid-90s, and a swing-and-miss, low-80s slider with tight spin and 10-to-4 shape. Goss also showed solid feel for a mid-80s changeup that has solid fading action, and he throws the pitch with the same fast arm speed used on his fastball. He has some length in the back of his arm path, as well as some effort and head whack in his delivery, but overall Goss displays exciting raw stuff. 47 Kenyon Yovan Oregon RHP Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 215 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Mariners '16 (32) Scouting Report: A first team All-Pac-12 selection after a second consecutive strong year on the mound for the Ducks—while also transitioning from the bullpen to the starting rotation—Yovan has been a two-way player with Oregon but is a better pro prospect as a pitcher. A 6-foot-3, 215-pound righthander, Yovan has an athletic delivery with a long stride as well as a handful of solid pitches, headlined by an above-average low-90s fastball that he locates well to both sides of the plate. His trio of secondary offerings grade out as average, but include a curveball, slider and changeup. Scouts are excited to see what Yovan looks like as a full-time starter this spring after his successful transition from the bullpen in 2018, and they believe he has the size, athleticism and pitchability to handle the role, though his stuff ticks up out of the bullpen. Most teams are also optimistic he’ll take additional steps forward on the mound when he puts down the bat for good. 48 Zack Hess Louisiana State RHP Notes: Ht: 6-6 | Wt: 216 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Braves '18 (34) Scouting Report: Hess transitioned to the starting rotation this spring with Louisiana State, but didn’t have the results he was looking for. After striking out 12.3 batters per nine with a 3.12 ERA as a freshman out of the bullpen, Hess’ strikeout rate dropped to 10.4 and his ERA surged to 5.05 this spring as a starter. Because of that—and his pronounced head whack—scouts believe he’ll be a reliever at the next level, which is why he lasted until the 34th round as a draft-eligible sophomore in 2018. With a low- to mid-90s fastball and a low-80s slider with sharp bite, the 6-foot-6 righthander could be a weapon out of the bullpen. He did look much better this summer with the Collegiate National Team, however, showing both improved command and noticeable progress with a low-80s changeup. 49 Gunnar Henderson Morgan Academy, Selma, Ala. SS Notes: School: Morgan Academy, Selma, Ala. Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 194 | B-T: L-R Commit: Auburn Scouting Report: The top high school prospect out of Alabama, Henderson is a physical, 6-foot-3, 194-pound infielder with a chance to stick at shortstop. He has some power from the left side of the plate and solid bat speed out of a slightly wide stance with a toe-tap load and long, one-handed finish. Henderson also has plus arm strength with excellent carry, but he’ll need to improve his footwork and ability to throw from multiple angels to avoid being pushed off the position—and over to third base—in the future. He’s athletic despite not being a great runner, and he has some experience as a pitcher, but his pro future is with the bat, regardless of where he winds up defensively. Henderson is committed to Auburn. 50 Sammy Siani Penn Charter HS, Philadelphia OF Notes: School: Penn Charter HS, Philadelphia Ht: 5-11 | Wt: 175 | B-T: L-L Commit: Duke Scouting Report: The younger brother of highly touted 2018 draft prospect Mike Siani, who was a fourth-round pick of the Reds, Sammy Siani is a talented outfielder in his own right. He has an extremely smooth lefthanded swing with a clean bat path, a strong arm and good running ability. Siani has a solid approach at the plate and a good understanding of the strike zone. He also gets out of the batter’s box and down the first base line extremely well. Listed at 5-foot-11, 175 pounds, none of his tools are as loud as his older brother’s, but some scouts like his swing better. Siani is committed to Duke. 51 Quinn Priester Cary-Grove HS, Cary, Ill. RHP Notes: School: Cary-Grove HS, Cary, Ill. Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 198 | B-T: R-R Commit: TCU Scouting Report: A 6-foot-3, 198-pound righthander out of Illinois, Priester has a methodical, easy delivery with a low, balanced finish and a fastball that sits in the low 90s, touching 95 mph this summer. Priester gets impressive running action on his fastball, and he’s also shown solid feel for a recently introduced two-seam fastball. He throws an upper-70s curveball with 11-to-5 shape and solid depth that routinely registered a spin rate between 2,400 and 2,500 rpm at the Area Code Games this summer. The Texas Christian commit has largely taught himself how to pitch, using no real pitching coach as he develops his repertoire and mechanics through his own personal trial and error in bullpens and during games. 52 Matt Cronin Arkansas LHP Notes: Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 190 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: A 6-foot-2, 190-pound lefthander, Cronin has been a reliable presence in Arkansas’ bullpen since his freshman season in 2017, when he led all Razorback relievers in ERA (2.00). He profiles as a reliever at the pro level as well, with a high-effort delivery, significant recoil and pronounced head whack. Despite those flaws in his delivery, Cronin does have impressive arm speed and athleticism, throwing his fastball in the low- to mid-90s and a breaking ball that could become a plus pitch down the line. Although his ceiling may be limited with no obvious path as a starter, that's not as big of a knock as it has been previously given the landscape of the major league game today. 53 Hayden Mullins Hendersonville (Tenn.) HS LHP Notes: School: Hendersonville (Tenn.) HS Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 180 | B-T: L-L Commit: Auburn Scouting Report: A lefthander out of Tennessee hoping to follow in the path of 2018 first-round pick Ryan Weathers, Mullins has tremendous feel to spin his breaking ball and a fastball that touched 94 mph this summer. He had a loud outing in front of scouts at East Coast Pro, where he worked with an up-tempo pace and showed off a curveball that has plus potential in the 72-79 mph range with 1-to-7 shape and plenty of depth. Mullins has also thrown a more firm slider at times, as well as a low-80s changeup that needs further refinement. He is committed to Auburn. 54 Will Rigney Midway HS, Waco, Texas RHP Notes: School: Midway HS, Waco, Texas Ht: 6-5 | Wt: 191 | B-T: R-R Commit: Baylor Scouting Report: A big, physical righthander out of Midway High in Waco, Texas, Rigney has plenty of arm strength, showcased by a fastball that was mostly in the 90-93 mph range this summer and touched 95 mph. He also throws a slider that ranges from 79-84 mph and looked like a plus pitch at times with sharp, late bite. There were instances, however, when the pitch became loopy and hung over the plate. Rigney also showed good feel for a low-80s changeup with arm-side movement and fading action that could be developed as a third swing-and-miss pitch. With a 6-foot-5, 191-pound frame, Rigney offers plenty of projection with solid arm strength from an overhead windup and three-quarter arm slot. Committed to Baylor, Rigney also has a quick pickoff move. 55 Drew Mendoza Florida State 3B Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 200 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Tigers '16 (36) Scouting Report: Mendoza was the highest ranked position player on the 2017 BA 500 to get to campus and he’s hit well for Florida State, despite being hampered by injuries. Listed at 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, he has standout physical tools. He has a smooth lefthanded swing and plus raw power. He’s a patient hitter but he also swings and misses a lot, leading to some questions about whether he’ll ever get to his power consistently. He moves well and has good hands, but after not playing the field all summer in the Cape Cod League he still needs to prove he can stay on the left side of the infield. Scouts are still waiting for Mendoza to put everything together, and he has immense upside if he can do so. 56 Jack Kochanowicz Harriton HS, Rosemont, Pa. RHP Notes: School: Harriton HS, Rosemont, Pa. Ht: 6-6 | Wt: 210 | B-T: L-R Commit: Virginia Scouting Report: A 6-foot-6, 210-pound righthander out of Pennsylvania, Kockanowicz is an intriguing, projectable arm who sat in the 89-92 mph range this summer and mixed in a mid-70s curveball and firm, 86-87 mph changeup as well. Committed to Virginia, Kochanowicz gets great extension off the rubber with a high, three-quarter arm slot and a low finish in his follow through. Kochanowicz mostly throws his pitches for strikes despite his long levers. His curveball shows promise with solid spin and 11-to-5 shape, but it needs to be tightened up and thrown with more conviction in the future as well. Kochanowicz should continue to add velocity as he fills out his lanky frame, but his pitches could play up even without a jump thanks to his height and arm slot. 57 Ryan Zeferjahn Kansas RHP Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 216 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Rays '16 (37) Scouting Report: A 6-foot-4, 216-pound righthander, Zeferjahn has some of the best pure stuff in the 2019 draft class between a fastball that gets into the upper 90s and a mid-80s power slider that gives him a second plus offering. Part of a loaded 2016 Kansas prep class that also included Riley Pint and Joey Wentz, Zeferjahn showed plenty of potential as a hard-throwing high schooler at the time and has filled out his frame over his two years with Kansas. He has also showcased more consistency out of his slider recently. Still, evaluators are less impressed with his strike-throwing ability—he’s walked five batters per nine innings over 132 innings—and want to see him take a step forward during the spring before they consider him no-doubt Day 1 pick. The potential and stuff is there, but he’ll need to put together a respectable junior campaign with the Jayhawks before that happens. 58 Ricky DeVito Seton Hall RHP Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 175 | B-T: B-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: DeVito this spring was named Big East Conference pitcher of the year and he carried his impressive performance into the summer on Cape Cod, where he established himself as one of the best pitchers in the league. DeVito, listed at 6-foot-3, 175 pounds, throws his fastball in the low to mid-90s, running it up to 96 mph. Both his changeup and curveball have the makings of above-average offerings and he threw all three of his pitches effectively for strikes. He comes right after hitters and creates some deception with his arm action. DeVito pitched all summer as a 19-year-old, adding to his intrigue as a prospect. 59 Bryant Packard East Carolina OF Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 210 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Packard this spring was an All-American at East Carolina, where he hit .406/.462/.671 with 14 home runs. He carried that performance into the summer in the Cape Cod League and with USA Baseball’s Collegiate National Team. Packard is a patient hitter with a good feel for the barrel. Listed at 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, the lefthanded hitter produces solid power, and he is starting to learn to tap into it consistently. Packard profiles well as a corner outfielder. He’ll look to continue to develop his power, but he’s already establishing himself as a solid all-around hitter. 60 Landon Sims South Forsyth HS, Cumming, Ga. RHP Notes: School: South Forsyth HS, Cumming, Ga. Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 205 | B-T: R-R Commit: Mississippi State Scouting Report: A short righthander out of Georgia, Sims impressed scouts after striking out five batters at the East Coast Pro showcase, where he showed off a big fastball that sat in the 93-95 mph range early before ticking down to 90-94 mph. Scouts were impressed with his arm speed and arm action at the event, but they will likely need to see more out of his 75-81 mph slider that flashed average but is currently more of a below-average offering. The sweeping slider is solid down and to the glove side, but it could use more consistent bite. Committed to Clemson, Sims pitches from the extreme third base side of the rubber and gets natural cutting action on a fastball that was routinely in the mid-90s during shorter stints. 61 Adam Laskey Duke LHP Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 190 | B-T: R-L Commit/Drafted: Giants '16 (31) Scouting Report: Laskey was a prominent player coming out of the New Jersey prep ranks in 2016 but hadn’t really put everything together in college before this summer in the Cape Cod League and was named the league’s pitcher of the year. Laskey, listed at 6-foot-3, 205 pounds, has good size, a solid arsenal and this summer showed better pitchability than he has for Duke. Laskey’s fastball sits in the upper 80s to low 90s and he located the pitch well. His slider was considered his best secondary pitch in high school, but his changeup has become the more consistent of his offspeed offerings. All three of his pitches grade out around average. Laskey gets the most out of his stuff and if he carries his success from the summer into next spring, he figures to be a Day 1 draft pick. 62 Michael Limoncelli Horseheads (N.Y.) High RHP Notes: School: Horseheads (N.Y.) High Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 180 | B-T: B-R Commit: Coastal Carolina Scouting Report: The top New York prospect in the 2019 prep class is a 6-foot-2, 180-pound righthander committed to Coastal Carolina. Limoncelli touched 94 mph with his fastball at the East Coast Pro showcase this summer, sitting in the low 90s with a loose, easy delivery that scouts admire. He has a curveball that projects as a plus pitch—a 73-79 mph three-quarter breaking ball with solid shape and spin. Limoncelli also throws a 76-80 mph changeup that’s currently a fringier offering, but it could prove useful against lefthanders. Limoncelli has solid feel for throwing strikes and could develop above-average command in the future. 63 Hylan Hall TNXL Academy, Altamonte Springs, Fla. OF Notes: School: TNXL Academy, Altamonte Springs, Fla. Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 178 | B-T: R-R Commit: Miami Scouting Report: The Next Level Academy in Altamonte Springs, Fla., continues to pump out toolsy outfielders. A year after the Brewers selected Elijah Cabell in the 14th round, the TNXL Academy has Hall, who brings athleticism, instincts, plus speed, a quick bat and a strong arm to the table. Committed to Florida, Hall has a chance to bypass college entirely if he shows more feel to hit this spring. An aggressive hitter in the box, Hall expands the zone and whiffs at times, but scouts believe he has the raw tools and bat speed necessary to hit at the next level. 64 Myles Austin Westlake HS, Atlanta SS Notes: School: Westlake HS, Atlanta Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 184 | B-T: R-R Commit: Alabama Scouting Report: A wiry, 6-foot-3, 184-pound infielder with plenty of looseness and athleticism, Austin is a projectable hitter out of Atlanta who currently has solid raw power and projects for plus as he fills out a big frame. There’s some swing-and-miss in Austin’s game, and his long levers might continue to worry scouts when paired with his aggressive tendencies, but there’s enough impact potential and bat speed to give him a high offensive ceiling. Defensively, he shows middle infield actions and quickness, but currently has fringy arm strength with an unconventional slot. He could easily have to move off the position as he continues to get stronger. He’s a plus runner underway with long, smooth strides on the bases. Austin is committed to Alabama. 65 Isaiah Campbell Arkansas RHP Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 225 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Angels '18 (24) Scouting Report: Campbell in 2016 broke out with an impressive summer in the California Collegiate League, but bone spurs in his elbow essentially wiped out his 2017 season. He returned in 2018 and had a solid, though inconsistent, season, helping Arkansas to a runner-up finish at the College World Series. The Angels drafted him in the 24th round but he opted to return to Fayetteville. Campbell has a powerful 6-foot-4, 225-pound frame and the arsenal to match. His fastball sits in the mid-90s and he mixes in a cutter, curveball and changeup. He’s difficult to square up and, when he’s at his best, he fills up the strike zone. Campbell was young for his draft class and will still be just 21 on draft day as a redshirt junior. If he can produce a strong spring as Arkansas’ Friday starter, he figures to be a high pick in June. 66 Erik Miller Stanford LHP Notes: Ht: 6-5 | Wt: 230 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted (29) A notable high school prospect in 2016, Miller ranked No. 144 on the BA 500 three years ago but ultimately decided to head to Stanford. He’s logged 13 starts for the Cardinal in each of his first two seasons, flashing big-time potential but struggling to put everything together for long stretches at a time. A physical lefthander at 6-foot-5, 240-pounds, Miller has periodically struggled with his strike-throwing—particularly during his two summer appearances in the New England Collegiate and Cape Cod leagues—and there are scouts who think his mechanics will need to be overhauled entirely. However, he has reached up to 97 mph with his fastball and shows feel to spin a slider that flashes as a plus offering at its best. That sort of stuff out of a southpaw with his size is enticing, and his track record in the PAC-12 is solid if not spectacular, but the range of outcomes with Miller could be fairly wide. 67 Joseph Charles The First Academy, Orlando RHP Notes: School: The First Academy, Orlando Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 193 | B-T: R-R Commit: North Carolina Scouting Report: A hard-throwing righthander out of the Orlando area, Charles has a very fast arm and routinely touched 95 mph with his fastball this summer. He even reached as high as 97 mph during East Coast Pro, although he normally sits in the low 90s with a low spin rate. Charles throws with a short arm action and has some deception, delivering the pitch from right behind his ear. The North Carolina commit has a 78-85 mph slider that showed promise as a swing-and-miss pitch with depth during USA Baseball’s Tournament of Stars, but he remains inconsistent with his breaking ball and predominantly pitched off of his fastball throughout the summer. Charles also frequently struggled to throw strikes, with a high back elbow and slight head whack. 68 Riley Cornelio Pine Creek HS, Colorado Springs RHP Notes: School: Pine Creek HS, Colorado Springs Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 189 | B-T: R-R Commit: Texas Christian Scouting Report: Looking to continue the recent success of Colorado-grown prep arms (i.e. Cole Winn), Cornelio is a 6-foot-3, 189-pound righthander with a lively arm and plenty of moving pieces in his delivery. The Texas Christian commit has pronounced head whack in an effort-filled delivery, with plunging action in the back of his arm stroke. He throws a low-90s fastball that has natural sink and occasional arm-side run, as well as a 78-82 mph slider that has solid spin but can back up on him at times. Cornelio also routinely drops in an 82-85 mph changeup that has solid tumble, which he throws with good arm speed. 69 Matt Canterino Rice RHP Notes: Ht: 6-3 | Wt: 205 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: Canterino emerged as Rice’s ace over the last two years and continued to pitch well over the summer. Canterino is listed at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds, and he pitches with a solid four-pitch arsenal. He throws his fastball in the low 90s, touching 95 mph. He throws both a big curveball and a slider, and also works in a good changeup. His delivery is funky mechanically, which leads some to wonder if he’ll have to move to the bullpen. But he halved his walks this spring and pitched with average control over the summer. Canterino is positioning himself to be the next high-end pitcher in the Rice pipeline. 70 Seth Johnson Campbell RHP Notes: Ht: 6-1 | Wt: 195 | B-T: R-R Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted (29) One of the bigger pop-up players to this point in the draft process, Johnson played two seasons at Louisburg (N.C.) JC, primarily as an infielder before transferring to Campbell after his sophomore season. After struggling with the bat at Louisburg, Johnson hopped on the mound and was in the upper 80s and low 90s with impressive athleticism, but a broken finger limited him to just six innings. Campbell took a shot on his arm strength, and while he has yet to prove it during games, scouts were impressed with his raw stuff during the fall. He’s been in the 92-95 mph range with two separate breaking balls that are both average. He’s also recently learned a changeup that could serve as a fourth average offering. While he’s very new to pitching, Johnson’s athleticism has allowed him to make a quick transition to the mound, and evaluators have been impressed with the cleanness and ease of his delivery. Because of his lack of track record on the mound, Johnson’s spring season will be more important than most, but if everything breaks right he could be a day one selection. 71 Emanuel Dean Servite HS, Anaheim OF Notes: School: Servite HS, Anaheim Ht: 6-5 | Wt: 209 | B-T: R-R Commit: UCLA Scouting Report: A chiseled, 6-foot-5, 209-pound outfielder, Dean is one of the top prospects out of Southern California and has lots of raw power with of a strong, righthanded swing. With a corded, athletic frame Dean has a high offensive ceiling as he continues to refine his bat-to-ball skills and learns to tap into his power more consistently in-game. He’s athletic in the outfield and has above-average arm strength as well. Committed to UCLA, Dean has gotten on the mound at times throughout the summer, but his future at the next level is certainly with the bat. 72 Dominic Fletcher Arkansas OF Notes: Ht: 5-10 | Wt: 185 | B-T: L-L Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted Scouting Report: After a Freshman All-American campaign in 2017, when he hit .291/.356/.495 with 12 home runs, Fletcher continued his offensive success this spring with another double-digit home run season. Listed at just 5-foot-10, 185-pounds, Fletcher doesn’t offer much in the way of physical projection. He’s likely limited to a corner outfield position in pro ball thanks to fringe-average speed that’s gone in the wrong direction since college, but he packs plenty of strength into his swing with a muscular build and strong forearms. He could fit well in right field with plus arm strength and solid route-running ability, but his ceiling is likely limited barring a huge step forward in his hitting ability, which projects as more fringe-average or average at the pro level. 73 Blake Sabol Southern California OF/C Notes: Ht: 6-4 | Wt: 205 | B-T: L-R Commit/Drafted: Indians '16 (33) Scouting Report: Sabol this summer was one of the breakout stars of the Cape Cod League, where he ranked second in OPS (1.018), third in home runs (seven) and fourth in batting average (.340). Sabol is listed at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, looks the part and has an impressive tool set. He shows both above-average power and speed and makes good use of them both offensively. The lefthanded hitter controlled the strike zone well over the summer, walking about as much as he struck out, though he this spring walked at a much lower rate. Sabol is still finding a defensive home, splitting his time between left field and catching. As a catcher, he is still raw and will need to improve his receiving to stay behind the plate. Outfield is still relatively new to him and while his athleticism, average speed and arm play there, he’ll need to refine his game as he gets more experience. 74 Glenallen Hill Jr. Santa Cruz (Calif.) HS OF Notes: School: Santa Cruz (Calif.) HS Ht: 5-9 | Wt: 169 | B-T: S-R Commit: Arizona State Scouting Report: The son of a former 13-year major leaguer, Hill Jr. is a small middle infielder—listed at just 5-foot-9, 169 pounds—but has tremendous bat speed from both sides of the plate. His swing is currently more fluid from the left side, but he was one of the best hitters and top performers at the Area Code Games this summer in Long Beach, Calif. Hill Jr. is dynamic on the bases as a plus runner with aggressive instincts and impressive acceleration. He’s played in both the infield and outfield this summer, but he’ll need to improve his routes in the grass. Hill Jr. is committed to Arizona State. 75 Tyler Nesbitt LaBelle (Fla.) HS RHP Notes: School: LaBelle (Fla.) HS Ht: 6-2 | Wt: 183 | B-T: L-L Commit: Florida

BA updated their top 100 draft prospects today. I can post it but it's seriously going to be a massive wall of text

Noice! Alright, it's posted in the OT wagers thread

Alrighty, i'll post it in the betting thread and you can confirm there.

So. 50$ it is?
