Top 50 High Schoolers Headed To College Baseball After 2025 MLB Draft

With the 2025 draft signing deadline behind us, we now have a clear picture of which players are getting to campus this fall.Below are the top 50 high school players from the 2025 class who didnt sign with a big league club in this draft cycle and will instead take their talents to the college ranks.

As is typically the case, the list is topped by a handful of upside arms.

Historic hard-throwing lefthander Jack Bauer leads the group and will bring his 102-mph fastball to Mississippi State after being undrafted.

Righthander Angel Cervantes became the highest-drafted player in this years class to not sign.

He spurned a second-round selection by the Pirates and will stay local and help reinforce a UCLA team that is already one of the favorites for the 2026 College World Series.

Lefthander Cameron Appenzeller checks in at No.

3 and was a late-round selection by the Mariners, but will head to Tennessee.Outfielder Brock Sell is the top-ranked hitting prospect to reach campus.

Hell head to Stanford and continue a long tradition of Stanford commits being some of the most unlikely recruits to pick the pro game over college.Texas leads all schools with five players on this top 50 list.

LSU, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia follow suit with four players apiece.

Arkansas, Mississippi State and TCU each have three players.Top 50 RecruitsRankPlayerPositionCommit44Jack BauerLHPMississippi State51Angel CervantesRHPUCLA52Cameron AppenzellerLHPTennessee55Brock SellOFStanford68Mason PikeRHP/SSOregon State70Uli FernslerLHPTCU71Alec BlairOFOklahoma74Aiden StillmanLHPVirginia76Brayden JaksaCOregon78Omar Serna*CLSU85Lucas Franco*SSTCU95William PatrickOFLSU100Trent GrindlingerCTennessee103Marcelo HarschRHPWake Forest111Gabe GraulauOFSouth Florida112Nico PartidaRHP/SSTexas A&M116Jacob ParkerOFMississippi State124Ethan GrimRHPVirginia Tech126Charlie WillcoxRHPGeorgia Tech132Jayden StromanRHP/SSVirginia136Noah YoderRHPVirginia138Landon SchaeferSSArkansas140Ethan MooreSSTennessee141Dylan DubovikOF/3BMiami143Boston Kellner3B/OFTexas A&M146Justice De JongRHPAuburn147Zach StricklandRHPUCLA150Marcos PazRHPLSU153Myles UpchurchRHPAlabama156Carson BrumbaughSS/RHPArkansas159Joe NottinghamRHPGeorgia160Brody WallsRHPTexas162Austin WeissLHPMaryland164Jack McKernanLHPTexas165Ethin BingamanRHP/OFAuburn174Jack LafflamRHPArizona180Brett CrosslandRHPTexas182Minjae SeoRHPFlorida188Brock KetelsenOF/LHPStanford190John Paone*RHPVirginia191Cooper RummelRHPTexas192Ty PeeplesOFGeorgia194Brady Dallimore*C/OFTCU195Jordan MartinRHPArkansas196Reagan Ricken*RHPLSU200Parker RhodesRHPMississippi State201Dylan WoodRHPArizona204Evan Hankins1B/OF/LHPTennessee205Nicolas PartridgeSSFlorida208Anthony Pack Jr.OFTexas*Omar Serna, Lucas Franco, John Paone, Brady Dallimore and Reagan Ricken each withdrew from the draft and were removed from our BA 500 rankings.

For these purposes each player was slotted back in where they would have ranked if they had remained eligible.Scouting Reports For Every PlayerJack Bauer Bauer became the hardest-throwing high school lefthander in history and founded the triple-digit prep southpaw club in 2025.

After touching 95 mph during the 2024 showcase circuit, he came out during the spring and touched 100 mph and then a few days later reached back for 102.

Hitting 102 mph is a rare feat for any pitcherlefty or otherwise, amateur or not.

Its downright silly when you pair it with his still projectable 6-foot-4, 190-pound frame and an ability to rip off a breaking ball with 3,000 rpm of spin.

Questions about Bauers control and the consistency of his secondaries are the only thing that will prevent him from becoming a first-round pick, and those are real questions to his game.

On the circuit in 2024, he was consistently erratic, walked more batters than he struck out and threw all of his pitches for strikes at a less than 50% clip.

His control was better in the spring, but still inconsistent from outing to outing.

Bauer gets to his fastball velocity with shocking ease, and hes done a nice job holding upper-90s velocity into his outings, though he rarely pitched deep into games.

His low-80s slider has plus potential with excellent spin and tons of movement, while he also has the makings of a quality changeup in the low 80s.

Both pitches need more refinement.

Bauer also needs to improve his control by multiple grades to profile as a starter, though his pure upside and arm talent is unlike any pitcher scouts have seen.Angel Cervantes Cervantes is young for the class and has an exciting blend of starter traits and some of the best pitchability in the 2025 prep class.

Listed at 6-foot-3, 200 pounds, Cervantes repeats a sound delivery that features a deep arm stroke and a fast arm that comes through from a three-quarters slot.

He attacks hitters with a four-pitch mix and had a lights-out showing at the 2024 Area Code Games, where he struck out eight of the nine batters he faced.

Cervantes sits in the low 90s with his fastball and will touch 94-95 mph, with the ability to land the pitch to both sides of the plate and generally command it at a level most high school pitchers cant.

His low-80s changeup is one of the best in the class.

He throws it with fastball arm speed, plenty of velocity separation from the heater and is able to locate it at the bottom of the zone for strikes and whiffs.

Its a plus offering and might be the best current pitch in his arsenal.

Cervantes also has a pair of high-spin breaking pitches: a low-80s slider and an upper-70s curveball that will occasionally blend together in shape, but both of which have above-average potential with more refinement and separation.

While there are pitchers in the class with more high-octane stuff, its difficult to find many with the pitchability and high-quality four-pitch mix that Cervantes boasts.

Hes committed to UCLA and will be 17 years old on draft day.Cameron Appenzeller Appenzeller checks a lot of boxes for a projection lefthander and wowed scouts at the 2024 Area Code Games when he struck out four batters in three innings.

Hes got a lean and lanky 6-foot-5, 180-pound frame with impressive athleticism and a repeatable delivery that includes a low three-quarters slot.

Many scouts expected him to take a big step forward in 2025, and while that didnt quite happen once he finally started rolling after basketball season, he still boasts plenty of positive indicators.

He throws his fastball in the 88-92 mph range and touches 94 with solid life and command and has a pair of secondaries that flash above-average.

Appenzellers slider is a 78-84 mph breaking ball that features solid biting action and two-plane movement at its best.

With more power, it could become a plus offering, though he gets around the ball at times thanks to his lower arm slot.

He also has feel for a mid-80s changeup with solid fading life that looks like a real swing-and-miss offering against righties.

Appenzellers ability to consistently land his three-pitch mix for strikes points to above-average control.

He needs to add more power, but given the projection in his frame its easy to see him throwing harder in the near future.Brock Sell Sell has top-of-the-order tools and a clear-cut center field profile thanks to his speed, contact ability and athleticism.

He has a lean 6-foot-1, 185-pound frame and uses a short, direct and quick swing in the lefthanded batters box.

Hes a pesky hitter who consistently turns in high-quality at-bats with a sound approach and contact skills that make him difficult to strike out.

He was one of the better hitters at the 2024 Area Code Games and impressed evaluators when he slapped a 98 mph Seth Hernandez fastball through the shortstop hole for an opposite-field single.

Sell is very much a hit-over-power offensive player who might never threaten 15 home runs a season.

Instead, hell pressure defenses with his speed, use the entire field with low line drives and sharp contact and also be a consistent threat to bunt for a hit.

Hes an easy plus runner who accelerates out of the box quickly and will turn in some 70-grade run times.

That speed should allow him to stick in center field as an above-average defender and make him a menace on the bases.

Sell has a solid arm and has some experience in the infield, though center field should be his long-term defensive home.

Like all Stanford commits, Sell could be a tough sign out of high school.Mason Pike Pike is a two-way player with pro upside on both sides of the ball.

Hes a 6-foot-1, 200-pound righthander with a high-spin arsenal on the mound and also a switch-hitting shortstop with impressive athleticism.

While Pike has potential on both sides of the ball, his upside might be a tick higher on the moundwhere hes also a bit more polished.

He throws a fastball in the 90-95 mph range and has been up to 97, with tons of spin on the pitch and both a four-seam and two-seam variant.

His go-to breaking pitch is a low-80s slider with solid two-plane break and above-average potential, but hell also mix in a mid-80s changeup that will need more reps to become a reliable third pitch.

Pike has a history of scattered strike-throwing, but scouts noted that he did a solid job filling the zone at times during his senior season at Puyallup High.

On the offensive side, Pike is a switch-hitter with gap power and quick hands, but his swing could use more polish from both sides of the plate.

Hes got good body control and hands in the infield, but as a below-average runner he might be better suited for third base, where his huge arm would fit.

Pike is committed to Oregon State and could play on both sides of the ball there, but he also could turn pro as a top-three-rounds talent.Uli Fernsler Fernsler is a lefthander who is young for the class and uses deception and advanced strike-throwing to overwhelm prep hitters.

Listed at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, he attacks hitters from a low three-quarters slot and has a crossfire landing which makes everything he throws difficult to pick up.

His velocity is below-averagehe tops out in the low 90s and sometimes sits predominantly in the upper 80sbut his fastball consistently plays up thanks to his unique release and a flat approach angle.

Fernsler has a pair of quality secondaries between a low-80s changeup and a low-80s slider.

Some scouts prefer the slider to the changeup, and vice versa, but both pitches have the potential to become above-average secondaries.

He has also mixed in a slower curveball in the mid 70s, but his fastball, slider and changeup are his main ingredients.

Fernsler has earned a reputation for having some of the best command in the 2025 prep class, and there are scouts who think hell get to plus control in the future.

Fernsler is committed to TCU and will still be 17 years old on draft day.

Hes been scouted heavily this spring and could become the highest drafted high school pitcher from Michigan of the 2000s, with talent that fits in the first three rounds.Alec Blair Blair is one of the most exciting athletes in the class as a toolsy lefthanded hitter and outfielder whos also a four-star small forward on the basketball court for De La Salle High in NorCal.

Hes committed to play both sports at Oklahoma and could be a tough sign, but his upside potential is tantalizing if he ever decides to focus on baseball.

Blair has a frame one would expect to see for a high-level basketball player.

Hes listed at 6-foot-6, 195 pounds with a lean, rangy frame that has plenty of room to fill out.

He has tinkered with his setup in the box over the last few years, going from an ultra-wide stance to more of an upright setup that helps unlock his lower half.

Blair is a long-levered hitter with some moving parts and a swing thats not always the most fluid.

He has huge power upside, however, and when hes synced up and extended, he can drive the ball a long way.

With more strength, he could easily grow into plus raw power.

Blair moves well for his size and is an above-average runner who can get to plus times underway.

Hes the sort of big-bodied outfielder who is athletic enough to potentially stick in center field.

If he slides to a corner, then left field is more likely because of his fringy arm with an odd arm action and low release.Aiden Stillman Stillman is a classic projection lefthander with a solid mix of present stuff and polish, with plenty more on the way in the next few years.

Hes a lean-framed pitcher listed at 6-foot-3, 190 pounds with broad shoulders and plenty of space to fill out and add strength.

Stillman was one of three pitchers to make multiple starts with USA Baseballs 18U National Team in 2024, when he threw eight shutout innings with five strikeouts and a walk.

Stillman has a clean delivery and a high three-quarters slot and creates deception with a crossfire landing on the mound.

Stillman has a solid three-pitch mix that is centered on his fastball.

He throws a 90-94 mph heater and has been up to 95, with the projection and arm speed to think more top-end velocity is on the way.

While Stillman pitched heavily off his fastball on the 2024 showcase circuit, he also has good feel to spin the ball.

He throws a high-spin, slurvy breaking ball in the 78-82 mph range that looks like a sweepy slider at times and more of a top-down curveball at others.

Whether he separates the two pitches or dials into one specific shape, he should wind up with an above-average or better breaking pitch.

Stillman also mixes in a mid-80s changeup.

Hes committed to Virginia and is expected to be a tough sign.Brayden Jaksa At 6-foot-6, 210 pounds, Jaksa is both one of the biggest high schoolers and tallest overall catchers in the 2025 class.

He has a tall, well-proportioned frame with present strength and more room to fill out, which should allow him to add to his already above-average raw power.

Jaksa has an even stance at the plate and uses a standard leg kick to get started before taking a smooth, slightly uphill bat path through the zone.

Its a fluid and simple operation without much extra movement, and Jaksa pairs it with a patient offensive approach and a solid understanding of the strike zone.

While he can pick out balls from strikes, Jaksa is a long-levered hitter who might always come with a bit of swing-and-miss.

He should develop into a power hitter who can tap into that power without needing to sell out entirely with a chance for 25-homer juice.

Jaksa is a below-average runner who takes a few steps to get going out of the box.

A catcher now, Jaksa has above-average arm strength that could be an asset at the position, but hes much larger than a typical catcher.

Hell need to continue refining his actions, blocking and receiving to stick.

Some scouts think he would profile nicely in right field.

Jaksa is committed to Oregon but is talented enough to go in the first three rounds.Omar Serna Serna is one of the top high school catchers in the 2025 class.

Listed at 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, hes an extra-large righthanded hitter with big raw power and big arm strength to go with it.

Between his tool set and physicality, he has some similarities to Gary Sanchez, and his combination of power and arm strength reminds others of 2024 Texas high school catcher Cade Arrambide.

Serna is an aggressive hitter with big bat speed and strength that allows him to drive the ball for extra-base damage to all fields.

Hes definitely a power-over-hit offensive profile now, though his 2024 Area Code Games performance, where he went 4-for-9 with two homers, a triple and a double, will stick in the minds of many scouts on draft day.

Serna will need to add a bit more patience and find some more contact ability to fully tap into his power at the next level.

Hes a well below-average runner who has the tools to stick behind the plate.

His double-plus arm is one of the loudest in the class and at times hes shown an impressive receiving ability.

Hell need to stay on top of his conditioning and continue refining his blocking and consistency behind the plate.

Hes a risk to be a first baseman only if he doesnt stick at catcher in the long run.

Serna is an LSU commit with upside to go in the first three rounds.Lucas Franco Franco is a lean, high-waisted lefthanded hitter and shortstop who looks the part in all areas of the game and has a 6-foot-3, 185-pound frame to dream on.

Hes a mature hitter with a calm, balanced approach and a picturesque lefthanded swing with a clean path through the zone.

Franco has shown good pitch recognition and swing decisions.

However, he has just modest bat speed, and many scouts wished they saw a bit more impact.

Theres not a ton of present strength, but given the way his swing works and the room he has to add strength, its easy to see him developing average power in the future.

Franco does have longer levers and some miss questions hell need to sharpen against secondaries.

Franco is a below-average runner who doesnt accelerate out of the box quickly and doesnt project to be a significant basestealing threat.

Hes a fluid defender at shortstop with good footwork, reliable hands and a strong, above-average throwing arm.

Franco does a nice job attacking the baseball, throwing on the run and throwing from a variety of arm slots, though his lack of lateral quickness could eventually push him off the position.

Franco is young for the class and committed to TCU.

He might lack a carrying tool now, but could take a huge leap in a few years with a well-rounded game.William Patrick Patrick is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound outfielder and righthanded hitter who boasts a loud combination of tools, physicality and athleticism.

Patrick is a multi-sport athlete who also plays football and runs track.

Hes powerfully built now, with lots of strength in his frame and a simple operation in the box that includes quick hands and plenty of torque.

His operation is reasonably simple with an uphill bat path that leads to loud contact when he gets his hands extended.

Hell need to continue proving his hit tool, as he did show some swing-and-miss tendencies against the top pitchers in the class on the travel circuit, but he has a chance to develop plus raw power.

Patricks most dynamic tool is his speed.

Hes an explosive 70-grade runner who covers plenty of ground with great running form.

Patrick clocked the fourth-best 60-yard time at the 2024 Perfect Game National showcase, the 11th-best mark at the East Coast Pro a few weeks later and then set the record for the fastest 60-yard dash at PBRs Super 60 showcase in February of 2025a 6.29 second run.

He has all the speed and ball-hawking skills to be an above-average defender in center field.

His plus arm strength is the cherry on top of a loud physical tool set.

Patrick is committed to LSU and will be 19 on draft day.Trent Grindlinger Grindlinger is one of the best high school catchers in the 2025 class.

At 6-foot-3, 210 pounds, hes tall for the position but projects to stick behind the plate because of his catch-and-throw skills.

Hes worked hard to stay on top of his conditioning, which has helped enhance his athleticism with good flexibility and looseness for a catcher his size.

He has a plus arm and cuts his pop times under 2.0 seconds on his best throws.

Grindlinger hit well on the travel circuit and showed a knack for using the opposite field and making hard contact with a good sense of the strike zone.

For a bigger-framed hitter he showed an impressive amount of contact ability.

Grindlinger has above-average raw power, though he doesnt yet regularly tap into that power in games and instead employs an all-fields approach.

Grindlinger is a well below-average runner who might be limited to first base if he has to move off catcher, but his defensive skill makes that unlikely.

Grindlinger turns 19 on day two of the draft and is committed to Tennessee.

Hell be a draft-eligible sophomore if he makes it to campus, but fits on talent in the first five rounds.Marcelo Harsch Harsch is a projection righthander with plenty of traits to like.

Hes young for the class and has a 6-foot-4, 170-pound frame that has a ton of space to fill out in the near future.

Harsch works with a calm and balanced delivery, but has an extremely long and extended arm action before throwing from a three-quarters slot.

He throws his fastball in the low 90s and will occasionally dip into the upper 80s deeper into his outings, but has run the pitch up to 94-95 at peak.

His slider is a high-usage breaking ball and responsible for most of his whiffs.

Its a lower spin pitch in the 2,000-2,200 rpm range but he throws it with impressive power for a high school pitcher in the 83-86 mph range and it often looks like a fastball out of the hand before showing late, snappy two-plane bite.

It should be a reliable weapon for both lefties and righties.

Harsch also throws a mid-80s changeup thats behind his fastball/slider combo.

Hes a scattered strike-thrower and committed to Wake Forest, but has the talent to be picked in the first five rounds.Gabe Graulau Graulau is an explosive athlete with some of the most exciting physical tools in the 2025 class.

Hes a 6-foot-4, 200-pound righthanded hitter and center fielder who brings lots of present strength to the table and has plenty more space to fill out as he develops.

Hed look the part in a big league uniform today.

Graulau uses a wide base with a minimal stride in his swing and has a fairly simple upper half with a typical hand load and a smooth, uphill bat path.

Graulaus pure hitting ability is his biggest question mark currently.

He can be pull-happy at times and overly aggressive in his swing decisionsparticularly against spinwith a swing that has some length that might always leave him vulnerable to a bit of swing-and-miss.

Beyond his hit tool, theres nothing to be skeptical about.

He should develop plus raw power in the future, with a chance for 23+ home run upside depending on the development of his hit tool.

At the MLB Draft combine he managed exit velocities up to nearly 110 mph.

Graulau pairs that power with excellent speed.

Hes a 70-grade runner who flies underway and should be able to stick in center field with a chance for above-average defense and an above-average throwing arm.

Teams highest on Graulaus loud tool set could view him as a top-three-rounds pick, while others might prefer to see him develop as a hitter at South Florida.Nico Partida Partida is one of the more polished two-way players in the 2025 class, with real upside as a pitcher and righthanded-hitting shortstop.

Listed at 6-foot, 190 pounds, Partida has a compact and physically mature frame that doesnt offer much projection, though he has plenty of present tools and skills.

On the mound, Partida is a solid strike-thrower who throws from a high three-quarters slot with a bit of effort in his finish.

He sits in the low 90s but runs his fastball up to 98 mph and does a nice job throwing the pitch at a high clip for strikes.

His primary offspeed pitch is a mid-70s curveball.

Its a low-spin offering that he can land for strikes, but the pitch is often inconsistent coming out of his hand, with shape that varies between more of a top-down breaker and a slurvy offering with added horizontal action.

Partida rounds out his arsenal with a low-80s changeup that has fade, though he occasionally throws it with inconsistent arm speed.

As a hitter, Partida has strong contact skills with some power in the bat as well, though hes not a pure hitter or standout sluggersimply a hitter with good hands who has an idea of what hes doing at the plate.

He has the actions and arm strength for shortstop, but his below-average speed and quickness could wind up making him a better fit for third base.

Partida is committed to Texas A&M and could play both ways in college.

Most scouts seem to prefer his upside on the mound, though he does enough to remain interesting as a potential pro position player.Jacob Parker Parker is a physical lefthanded hitter with a big league frame at 6-foot-4, 210 pounds and the raw power to match it.

He puts on some of the most impressive batting practice displays in the class, and has already managed exit velocities north of 110 mph with a wood bat.

Parker has plus raw power and he gets to it relatively easily with a swing that doesnt have a huge amount of effort.

While his power is obvious, there are more questions about the sort of pure hitter hes going to be.

He has done a reasonable job of making contact, but he can get out of sync and off-balance in games, and his bat path can get lengthy.

During the spring, he was a tremendous performer with Purvis High in Mississippi and out-hit his twin brother, Joseph, who is expected to be a first-round pick.

Parker has turned in plus run times for scouts this spring, and could have a chance to play center, though most scouts view him as a high-probability corner outfielder whose above-average arm fits the prototypical right field profile.

Parker is committed to Mississippi State, but could be selected in the first four rounds of the draft.Ethan Grim Some pitchers seem to have an innate ability to attack batters, command the zone and make the most of their arm talent.

Grim is one of those pitchers.

Hes a 6-foot-1, 190-pound righthander who doesnt offer an imposing look on the mound and sits in the low 90s, but he has consistently carved through lineups of some of the best hitters in the class.

Between the East Coast Pro and Area Code Games in 2024, Grim faced 19 batters, struck out 11 and walked none while giving up just one hit.

Grim has a bit of effort in his delivery, but this spring he managed to soften what was a previously aggressive stabbing action in the back of his arm stroke.

He throws from a three-quarters slot and has great feel for a complete four-pitch mix.

Grim will pitch in the 89-93 mph range, but his fastball is a hoppy pitch that sneaks over barrels consistently.

After topping at 94 mph in 2024 it has been up to 96 this spring.

He knows how to land and manipulate a 78-82 mph slider and a curveball a few ticks lighter and also has advanced feel for a low-80s changeup.

Grim could develop plus control and has a no-doubt starter profile.

Hes committed to Virginia Tech where he should become an immediate contributor if he doesnt get drafted in the 3-6 round range.Charlie Willcox Willcox has a starter look with an athletic, 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame with a quick arm and a smooth, easy delivery.

He has a clean arm action with a three-quarters slot and great balance throughout his delivery and in his finish.

Willcox mostly throws his fastball in the low 90s, but he touched 94 mph at peak on the 2024 travel circuit and has gotten the heater a few ticks higher during the 2025 spring.

His primary breaking ball is a high-spin power curveball around 80 mph with impressive depth and 11-to-5 shape.

Between his arm speed, natural ability to spin the ball and its current power, it has the makings of an above-average breaking ball.

Willcox has also thrown two changeup variants.

The first a typical mid-80s changeup with a bit of fading life at its best.

The second is a slower split-change in the low 80s with spin rates under 1,000 rpm that could also become a weapon.

Hes been a fairly scattered strike-thrower in the past, but he has the athleticism and delivery to develop average control in the future.

Willcox is committed to Georgia Tech.Jayden Stroman The younger brother of 2012 first-round righthander Marcus Stroman, Jayden throws a lively fastball and is on a similar trajectory as Marcus.

Yet it wasnt always a given.

At one time in his high school career, which spanned three different schools, Jayden Stroman was a two-way talent with the tools, speed and impact potential to suggest a future at shortstop.

It seemed Stroman may even prefer hitting.

But after an impressive senior spring on the mound that sent national crosscheckers racing to New York to see him, Stromans long-term future looks far more likely to be on the mound.

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound righthander is more physical than his older brother and averaged 97.3 mph in a bullpen at the MLB Draft combine.

His four-seamer sat 93-97 mph for most of the spring, and he throws it with above-average riding life.

Stromans fastball fronts a three-pitch mix that includes a solid mid-80s changeup and a mid-80s curveball with some biting action.

His delivery features a deeper, plunging arm action and also has a bit of tilt in his leg lift before firing to the plate with a high-three quarters arm slot and good arm speed.

Like his brother, Stroman was committed to Duke, but he flipped his commitment to Virginia to follow head coach Chris Pollard.

Its no sure thing he gets to Charlottesville given his late momentum and impressive traits.Noah Yoder Yoder is a big, physical righthander with a 6-foot-5, 230-pound frame and some of the best present velocity in the 2025 prep class.

Hes got an unconventional delivery that includes a short leg kick, a drop-and-drive action with his lower half and a long and stiff arm action that comes from an over-the-top slot.

Yoders delivery has some effort and might add to his reliever risk, but theres no denying his arm talent.

He sits in the mid 90s regularly and has touched 99, with the look of a pitcher who will soon be touching triple digits regularly.

His primary breaking ball is a low-80s curveball with downer, 12-to-6 movement and solid depth.

It could become an average offering, but its also one that shows out of his hand early at times and can be inconsistent.

Yoder also throws a changeup in the 80-85 mph range that is in the early stages of development but has flashed some solid dropping action.

Yoders control and command needs to improve for him to profile as a starter, but he could have a fairly platoon-neutral three-pitch mix if he can make strides in that department.

Hes committed to Virginia and fits in the 3-6 round range on talent.Landon Schaefer Schaefer sticks out immediately for his lean, athletic 6-foot-3 frame with ample space remaining to add good weight and strength.

Hes made impressive strides with his approach and hitting ability over the last two years, but remains a power-over-hit offensive profile who will need to clean up some swing-and-miss tendencies.

Schaefer has tons of bat speed and generates plenty of torque, but does feature a sizable hand hitch and bat tip in his load that could lead to timing issues at the next level.

His pullside power is impressive, and he has the upside to hit 23-27 home runs if he can get a bit better picking up spin out of the hand.

Schaefer is a shortstop now, but hes more of a fringe-average runner and has length to his actions that might fit better at third base.

He has enough arm strength for the position and if he does add more bulk and mass to his frame, he should still have the hands to stick on the dirt.

If not, he could eventually move to a corner outfield position where hell have enough power to profile well.

Schaefer is committed to Arkansas, but could fit in the first five rounds of the draft for those most bullish on his power potential.Ethan Moore Moore is a muscle-bound switch-hitter with a powerful frame at 6-foot, 190 pounds and an impressive track record of hitting.

He works from a crouched and spread stance from both sides of the plate with his weight shifted over his back leg and employs a quick, level and direct swing that leads to lots of line-drive contact up the middle.

Hes an aggressive hitter who likes to swing the bat, but he also has solid contact skills and walked more than he struck out in a number of high-profile events on the 2024 circuitincluding a 5-for-15 (.357) effort at the 2024 Area Code Games.

Moore has lots of present strength, but his swing is not currently geared for leverage or lots of flyball impact, and he doesnt have much physical projection remaining.

His power output could depend more on the style of hitter he develops into, but he should be able to get to at least average in-game power.

There are questions about his secondary tools.

Moore is not a great runner and he could lack both the arm strength and arm versatility to stick at shortstop, which might make second base, third base or even the outfield better future defensive homes for him.

Hes a Tennessee commit but his bat could be interesting enough to fit in the first five rounds of the draft.Dylan Dubovik Dubovik is a high-upside athlete and physical toolshed who brings plenty of above-average or better tools to the table.

He has a great frame with present strength at 6-foot-4, 210 pounds and on a given day will show electricity in all phases of the game.

The biggest question for Dubovik is centered on how much hell hit.

While he has impressive natural bat speed, hes not a natural hitter and comes with some stiffness in the box and plenty of length in his swing.

He had concerning swing-and-miss tendencies throughout the showcase circuit in 2024, and also struck out a decent amount in high school with American Heritage this spring.

He needs more reps against high-quality velocity and secondaries, and will need to rein in his swing decisions.

If he can find the barrel more frequently, Dubovik can do plenty of damage with his plus raw power.

Dubovik is an above-average runner who could be a plus base stealer.

His arm strength is among the best in the prep class.

Its a 70-grade tool that would be an asset at third base or a weapon in the outfieldhis most likely defensive homewhere he could have the athleticism to handle all three spots.

Dubovik comes with upside but has wide error bars, and might be best served refining his hitting ability at Miami.Boston Kellner Kellner has been a high-level performer throughout his high school career, first in Colorado and then in his final two seasons with Hamilton High in Arizona.

Kellner has a filled-out frame at 6-foot, 205 pounds and packs plenty of strength into his righthanded swing.

He has above-average raw power and will show it off in batting practice with deep blasts to his pull side, but has also done a nice job adjusting his approach in games and showing more of a hitterish look.

He has an upright, relaxed stance without much wasted movement and features a slightly uphill bat path.

He has the tools to hit for both average and power at the next level, though he could still shore up some of his miss tendencies against spin.

Kellner has turned in above-average run times underway but could settle into more of an average runner at physical maturity.

Hes a shortstop now, but has actions that could be a bit long and footwork that could be a bit light for the position.

He profiles as a solid defender at third base with a plus throwing arm.

Kellner also has some exposure in the outfield and could fit in a corner.

Hes committed to Texas A&M and will be 19 on draft day, making him an eligible sophomore in the 2027 class if he makes it to campus.Justice De Jong De Jong is a talented high school two-way player whos young for the class and has more upside as a pitcher at the next level.

Hell be 17 on draft day and only turns 18 a few days after the draft.

De Jong has a filled-out frame at 6-foot-3, 215 pounds and throws with an athletic delivery and three-quarters slot.

Hes a polished strike-thrower with a good track record of throwing strikes and advanced pitchability for a high school pitcher.

De Jong sits in the 89-92 mph range and has pushed his fastball up to 95 mph, though during his senior spring his velocity was inconsistent from outing to outing.

More than excellent shape or power, De Jong shows an ability to land his fastball to both sides of the plate to consistently get ahead in counts and set up his secondaries.

He has two breaking balls: a high-spin curveball in the mid-to-upper 70s and a soft slider in the 79-84 mph range.

The two pitches blend together at times and both need a bit more consistency and bite to become above-average breaking balls.

De Jong will also show flashes of a solid mid-80s changeup, but has not used the pitch much.

De Jong has the command to profile as a starter, but will need to stay on top of his conditioning and continue to develop his secondaries as he begins focusing on pitching full time.

He was committed to Duke before head coach Chris Pollard left for the Virginia job.Zach Strickland Strickland is a prep righthander with a 6-foot-2, 190-pound frame, a loose and easy delivery and a deep mix of high-spin pitches.

Hes a strong athlete and solid mover on the mound who features a hooking action that gets inverted in the back, but fires from a three-quarters slot with relative ease and solid balance in his finish.

Strickland throws his fastball in the low 90s, but has been up to 96 mph already with the physical projection in his frame to expect more top-end velocity in the near future.

Its a high-spin fastball that gets into the 2,500-2,600 rpm range.

Strickland also has feel to spin two breaking balls.

He throws both his slider and curveball in the mid-2,000 rpm range.

He did a nice job adding more power to the slider in his senior spring season and throws it in the mid 80s, while his curveball is thrown in the mid 70s.

Both pitches have solid or better potential.

Strickland will also mix in a low-80s straight changeup that could become a useful piece against lefthanded hitters.

Like most high school pitchers, Strickland needs to make strides with his control and command, but has the look of a future starter.

Hes committed to UCLA and could be a tough sign, though a handful of teams might try and coax him out of his college commitment inside the first five rounds.Marcos Paz Paz might be one of the trickiest players to evaluate in the 2025 class.

When healthy as an underclassman, he was viewed as a first-round talent and wasnt all that far behind Seth Hernandezthe top pitching prospect in the class.

Paz had Tommy John surgery at the beginning of the 2024 summer, which added significant risk to his profile and kept him off the radar for much of the draft cycle.

Paz did return to the mound in June and threw at the MLB Draft combine where he averaged 93 mph in a bullpen session and touched 95, showing he was near his previous peak in arm strength.

Paz has a big, physical frame at 6-foot-2, 220 pounds with a starter look that includes an easy, repeatable delivery with some depth to his arm action and a three-quarters slot.

He has previously gotten his fastball up to 96 mph and looks like a pitcher who should regularly touch upper 90s as he gets further away from surgery.

He has impressive power on his mid-80s slider with high spin rates in the 2,800-2,900 rpm rangeit looks like a potential plus breaking ball.

In addition to the fastball/slider combo, Paz will also mix in a firm, mid-to-upper-80s changeup that has at least average potential.

Paz is an LSU commit and could have an extremely wide range of outcomes on draft day.Myles Upchurch Upchurchs 6-foot-4, 215-pound frame, arm strength and athleticism put him onto the national radar as an underclassman, and he entered his senior spring as one of the more well-known high school arms in the mid-Atlantic.

He can run his fastball up to 95 mph and on his best days showed scouts a true four-pitch mix.

He throws a hard, biting mid-80s slider that is his preferred secondary as well as a curveball that sometimes blends with his slider and an occasional changeup.

But Upchurch wasnt always at his best this springespecially early onand was barreled more than one might expect given his fastball velocity and depth of weapons.

Upchurch was better down the stretch, even throwing a complete game shutout and hitting the game-winning home run to help his high school win a state title, but his inconsistency created a vexing look for teams.

Those most optimistic see a projectable righthander with traits that could flourish with professional coaching and player development.

Others may be more content to let him get to Alabama, where he could coax more out of his fastball and apply more polish to his game while battling with SEC hitters.Carson Brumbaugh Brumbaugh is a standout two-way player and his father, Cliff, reached the big leagues with the Rangers and Rockies in 2001.

Carson has real upside on both sides of the baseball.

Some scouts prefer the 6-foot-2, 195-pound Oklahoma product as a shortstop while others are enamored with his righthanded pitching ability.

It sounds like Brumbaugh himself leans toward hitting.

He has a big league swing with outstanding bat speed that leads to plenty of power upside, though it has come with a higher swing-and-miss rate.

Brumbaughs hand load features some movement with a distinct press back and a separate move down, which could inhibit his timing and contact quality.

Brumbaugh has solid hands and more than enough arm strength to stick at shortstop, but he might outgrow the position in the future and fit better at third base.

Hes an average runner.

On the mound, Brumbaugh has impressive arm speed and a fastball that has been up to 96 mph.

He has also flashed a solid low-80s slider and a firm upper-80s changeup.

His delivery looks a bit relieverish with plenty of effort and a notable head whack in his finish.

Brumbaugh is committed to Arkansas but fits in the first five rounds of the draft.Joe Nottingham Nottingham is a 6-foot-5, 200-pound righthander with great projection who entered the 2025 spring as one of the most interesting arms in the Northeast.

Nottingham has a slightly unconventional delivery with a stabbing, extended arm action that leads to a higher three-quarters slot.

He throws a fastball in the low 90s and has touched 95, with impressive life that led to a lot of whiffs on the 2024 circuit.

Nottinghams velocity was inconsistent during his spring season, and his overall performance wasnt what scouts expected to see, but theres still a chance for a plus fastball in the future.

Nottingham also has a chance for an average or better slider.

His best breaking balls are hard benders in the low 80s, but the pitch tends to get a bit slurvy at times in the upper 70s.

Nottingham also throws a 78-83 mph changeup that could become a solid third piece to his arsenal.

Nottingham will need to improve his control to become an average strike-thrower.

While Nottingham requires some projection and patience, he has the tools to be an impact arm.

Hes committed to Georgia but fits in the 4-7 round range.Brody Walls A filled-out righthander with a 6-foot, 190-pound frame, Walls has a low-effort operation and a starter profile thanks to his track record as a strike-thrower.

Walls has a deliberate windup with a bit of coil and tilt in his leg lift before firing to the plate from a low three-quarters slot.

He typically pitches in the 89-92 mph range, but touched 94 during the 2024 travel circuit, then reached back for 95 mph during the 2025 spring season.

His fastball is a high-spin offering that he locates for strikes at a solid clip to set up a pair of reliable secondaries.

His high-spin breaking ball has a slurvy look and blends between a curveball and a sweeping slider in the upper 70s and low 80s.

It has typically been his best miss pitch, though he also throws his low-80s changeup more than the typical high school righthander.

He seems to turn the change over consistently and is comfortable using it as his go-to secondary in right-on-left matchups.

While Walls lacks high-end present velocity, he has the makings of a reliable three-pitch starter with a chance for above-average control.

Hes committed to Texas and could be a tough sign, but fits on talent in rounds 3-7.Austin Weiss Weiss has made huge strides over the last two years.

A 6-foot-1, 190-pound lefty who throws from a low slot, Weiss topped out around 90 mph as a sophomore in 2023.

Since then, his velocity has consistently inched up to the point where he now sits 91-94 mph and touches 95.

While Weiss doesnt have huge physical projection, he has some intriguing release traits that could help his fastball play up.

He throws with a drop-and-drive action in his lower half and has a lower arm slot that creates a lower release point and an uncomfortable at-bat for hitters.

He also imparts solid armside run that should help him avoid barrels.

Weiss pairs a frisbee-like, sweeping slider with his fastball.

The breaking ball has impressive spin rates in the 2,400-2,500 rpm range and is thrown in the mid-to-upper 70s, though it can get a bit slurvy at times.

Weiss is primarily a fastball/breaking ball pitcher, but he has the makings of a low-80s changeup that could be a key pitch for him against righties.

Scouts were impressed with his athleticism, competitiveness on the mound and strikes this spring, and Weiss outpitched fellow mid-Atlantic pitching prospect Myles Upchurch in a high-profile matchup in April.

Weiss is committed to Maryland and is viewed as a tough sign, but he fits on talent in rounds 3-7.Jack McKernan McKernan is a 6-foot-1, 190-pound lefthander with a proven track record that includes multiple stints with USA Baseballs national teams.

He won a gold medal as a member of the 15U team in 2022, then pitched as one of only two underclassmen on the 2023 18U roster.

McKernan has an up-tempo delivery that features a rapid action toward the plate after his leg lift with a direct stride to home, a quick arm and hard head whack in his finish.

His low-90s fastball has been up to 95 mph, with a track record of inducing plenty of weak groundouts.

His primary miss pitch is a hard slider that he throws with impressive power for a prep lefty.

Its a mid-80s breaking ball with sharp biting action at its best, and at the top of its velocity band in the 86-87 mph range it occasionally looks like a cutter.

While McKernan mostly pitches off the fastball/slider combo, he does have a mid-80s changeup in his back pocket that could become a solid pitch against righties.

McKernan throws enough strikes to be effective with his powerful mix, but he does need to sharpen his command and could carry some reliever risk because of his delivery.

Hes committed to Texas.Ethin Bingaman Bingaman transferred to Corona High in California ahead of his senior season, joining fellow 2025 prospects Seth Hernandez, Billy Carlson and Brady Ebel to form one of the most talented high school rosters that scouts have ever seen.

Bingaman is a two-way player with a 6-foot-1, 200-pound frame who could likely make an impact as a hitter in college, but whose pro future lies on the mound.

He has some depth in his arm action and throws from a higher, three-quarters slot with a bit of effort in his finish but solid strikes.

Bingaman has pushed his low-90s fastball up to 95.

Its a high-spin heater with great vertical riding life that should allow it to consistently miss bats at the top of the zone and play up from its velocity.

He pairs the fastball with a high-spin 12-to-6 curve in the upper 70s and low 80s.

The shape and spin of the pitch should make it a nice complement to his fastball, though there are times when hitters can track the movement reasonably well out of his hand.

Bingaman rounds out his arsenal with a firm, upper-80s changeup.

As a position player, Bingaman stands out for his strength in the righthanded batters box, with arm strength that would be a nice fit at third or right field.

He mostly played right field for Corona, in deference to Ebel at third base who was there in deference to Carlson at shortstop.

Hes committed to Auburn but could fit in rounds 3-7 on draft day.Jack Lafflam Everything from Lafflams build to the way his stuff moves is atypical.

Hes a tall, extremely slender pitcher along the lines of Guardians righthander Triston McKenzie and is listed at 6-foot-6, 180 pounds.

He pitches across his body from an overhead windup and higher three-quarters slot with a loose arm that works well.

Lafflam sits in the low 90s with a high-spin fastball that has regular cutting life.

After topping out around 95 mph in the 2024 circuit, he pushed his max up to 97 mph during his senior spring season but typically settles into the low 90s deeper into starts.

Lafflam has a high-spin sweeping slider in the mid 80s that looks like an above-average offering.

He also throws a slower curveball in the mid 70s that has a more top-down movement.

The two can blend together at times, and the slider variant generally seems like the louder breaking ball shape.

Lafflam also has a firm, upper-80s changeup that he throttles well and has solid fade and tumble at its best.

There are some questions about whether or not Lafflam will throw enough strikes to profile as a starter, but he could also learn to repeat his delivery more consistently ifor whenhe adds more strength to his frame.

Lafflam is committed to Arizona and is expected to be a tough sign.Brett Crossland Crossland is an extra-large righthander with a physically mature, workhorse frame at 6-foot-5, 240 pounds.

He looks like a big league pitcher already and works with a functional delivery that includes a bit of depth in his arm action and a three-quarters slot.

Crossland has shown loud top-end stuff as a high schooler, though his 2025 senior season saw that fastball velocity back up a bit.

Hes been up to 97 mph at max in the past, but throughout the spring mostly sat in the low 90s.

He throws a hard and tight slider in the mid 80s as well as a distinct curveball in the upper 70s with impressive depth and 12-to-6 shape.

Both breaking balls have flashed above-average potential with some scouts throwing plus grades on the curveball.

Crossland will also mix in a low-80s changeup that has impressive armside fading life.

Crosslands strikes come and go, and hes still ironing out some of the consistency with his release point.

Crossland has the look of a workhorse starter who should get to an upper-90s fastball with a deep mix of secondaries, but teams might prefer to see him continue his development at Texas.

He turns 19 on draft day and will be a draft-eligible sophomore in 2027 if he makes it to campus.Minjae Seo Seo is a 6-foot-1, 175-pound righthander and the younger brother of MJ Seo, who was a prospect in the 2023 class and now pitches for Wichita State.

Minjae is more advanced than his older brother at the same age.

He drives down the rubber nicely and has a fast arm that comes from a three-quarters slot with some effort and head whack in his finish.

Seo throws his fastball in the low 90s, but has touched 95 and has the spin and movement characteristics that allow the pitch to play up.

Its a hoppy heater that generates lots of swing-and-miss at the top of the zone.

His go-to secondary is a slurvy slider in the upper 70s.

It has lots of gloveside sweeping life and looks like it could become an above-average offering in the future as he learns to throw the pitch with more power and intent.

Seo is mostly a fastball/breaking ball pitcher now, but he does have a low-80s changeup that hell mix in occasionally.

He has below-average control and will need to improve to avoid profiling as a reliever.

Seo is committed to Florida and will be 19 on draft daymaking him a draft-eligible sophomore if he makes it to campus.Brock Ketelsen Ketelsen is a toolsy two-way player with a projectable frame at 6-foot-4, 200 pounds thats easy to dream on.

He throws a fastball in the 88-93 mph range from the left side on the mound and did a nice job landing a mid-70s changeup for strikes during the 2024 showcase circuit.

He also mixes in a slow downer curveball with 12-to-6 shape in the mid 70s.

Ketelsen is a solid athlete on the mound who throws with a slight crossfire delivery from a high three-quarters slot and looks like he could become an average strike-thrower.

As a position player, Ketelsen is a lefthanded hitter and center fielder.

He has solid bat speed and creates leverage in his swing with flashes of impressive pullside power already.

As Ketelsen continues to add more strength and fill out his still-lean frame, he should grow into above-average raw power.

Despite the length of Ketelsens swing and levers, he has typically done a solid job making contact and that was also true in a solid stint in the West Coast League after his senior season.

Ketelsen is a plus runner now who might lose a step and become more of an above-average runner, but has a chance to play all three outfield positions with above-average arm strength.

Hes young for the class and is committed to Stanford.John Paone Paone solidified himself as the top high school prospect in New England early on in the spring of 2025, continuing an ascension that began the previous summer when he showed off an improving fastball and reached 96-97 mph by the fall.

The 6-foot-3, 210-pound righthander sat 92-95 mph this spring in Massachusetts, delivering his fastball from a low slot along with some deception in his delivery, which he rotates through well as he gets down the mound.

Paone also is capable of ripping off an 80-85 mph slider with two-plane break and spin rates into the 2800-2900 rpm range, though his feel for the pitch is inconsistent.

He ties his arsenal together with a mid-80s changeup that has average shape but lags behind the rest of his mix in its development.

Paone has a fiery, demonstrative mound presence.

Paone turned 19 in June, so hes older for the class, and he could be a tough signhe previously was committed to Duke before flipping to Virginia to follow head coach Chris Pollard.

His talent fits best in rounds four to six.Cooper Rummel Rummel is a large, physical righthander with a workhorse look and a 6-foot-3, 220-pound frame.

While he might lack much more physical projection, he has plenty of strength now throughout his lower and upper halves with a barrel chest and broad shoulders.

Rummel has a simple operation and throws from a three-quarters slot with a slight crossfire delivery and only a tick of effort in his finish.

He throws a fastball in the 90-93 mph range and has touched 96, though he did come out of the gates a bit slow as a senior and didnt take a step forward with his average or top-end velocity.

Rummel uses two breaking balls: an upper-70s curveball with 11-to-5 and solid depth, and a slider that checks in a few ticks harder and features more gloveside horizontal sweep.

Both of his breaking balls can blend together at times and hell need to improve his ability to separate them and throw with consistent shape.

Between the two, though, he should be able to get to a solid or better secondary.

Rummel has not featured much of a changeup yet, which creates some reliever risk when coupled with his scattered strike-throwing.

Hes committed to Texas and will be a draft-eligible sophomore if he makes it to campus.Ty Peeples Peeples is lean and athletic lefthanded hitter with a 6-foot-2, 185-pound frame that still has space to fill out and an impressive track record of performance as an underclassman.

He has a smooth lefthanded swing with solid rhythm, bat speed and strength that leads to above-average or even plus raw power, but as Peeples has faced better competition his swing-and-miss tendencies have grown.

He can punish bad pitching in the zone to the pull side, and generally does a solid job with his swing decisions, but his pure bat-to-ball skills make scouts wonder if hes going to be a below-average pure hitter at the next level.

He swings and misses frequently inside the zone against all pitch types.

When hes timed up and gets extended he can hit impressive home runs, but he needs to find a way to get the barrel on the ball with more frequency.

Peeples has turned in above-average run times in the past, but scouts this spring saw a fringy or below-average runner who might need to play left or right field at the next level.

He does have solid defensive instincts and could outplay his raw speed, but the corner profile adds more pressure to his bat.

Peeples is committed to Georgia, and might be best served refining his hit tool in the SEC.

Some teams could take a shot on his power in the 4-7 round range.Brady Dallimore Dallimore is a big and physical 6-foot-4, 225-pound catcher and righthanded hitter.

He was injured late during his junior season which kept him out of much of the 2024 showcase circuit, but area scouts view him as one of the most impressive bats in the Four Corners and Nevada region.

With solid bat speed and plenty of natural strength, Dallimore has a chance to develop plus raw power.

His swing is also reasonably compact and direct which could lead to a better pure hit tool than most prep hitters of his size.

Dallimore is big for a catcher and will need to continue refining his actions and footwork to stick behind the plate, but he has above-average arm strength that would be an asset for the position.

Hes also played outfield and could profile in a corner even though hes a below-average runner.Jordan Martin Martin is an athletic righthander with a great pitchers frame at 6-foot-5, 215 pounds and a background as a multi-sport athlete whos also a talented basketball player.

Martin has a solid amount of lean strength on his frame now, but has room to continue filling out.

He works out of a deliberate delivery that includes a slow leg lift and a compact arm action that leads to a three-quarters slot.

Martin has pushed his fastball up to 96 mph but typically pitches in the 89-93 mph range now, and the heater was a lively pitch that generated solid miss rates against high school hitters on the 2024 circuit.

His primary breaking ball is a slurvy slider in the upper 70s that has solid shape, but lacks hard, biting action.

Martin has also thrown a low-80s changeup but he still has a long way to go before thats a reliable pitch for him to pump into the zone.

Theres a decent amount of rawness to Martins game now, though teams are excited about his frame and natural arm strength.

Hes committed to Arkansas and has the sort of athleticism and arm talent to take a big jump with a few years of focused instruction and pitching development.Reagan Ricken Reagan has a big league pitchers frame at 6-foot-5, 220 pounds and has multi-sport athleticism and pro bloodlines.

Hes also a quarterback for his Great Oak High football team and his father, Ray, was a fifth-round draft pick by the Yankees in 1994 who played six minor league seasons.

Reagan has a starter look on the mound and has done a nice job removing some of the effort and moving parts in his delivery over the last year or so.

Hes begun filling out his frame and this spring showed much more balance in his delivery.

Ricken throws his fastball in the low 90s and has touched 95-96 with solid armside run.

Hes done a nice job landing the pitch for strikes at a solid clip to set up a trio of secondaries.

He has a slider that gets into the mid 80s and a curveball in the 78-82 mph rangeboth of which have a chance to become average or better offerings.

Ricken also has an upper-80s changeup that could become a viable fourth pitch once he learns to control it with more consistency.

With more of a starter look this spring compared to last summer, Ricken checks a lot of boxes as a prep righty who should throw quite hard in the future.

Hes committed to LSU and could be a tough sign, but has been seen plenty this spring alongside teammate and potential first-rounder Gavin Fien.Parker Rhodes While Rhodes didnt quite match the helium of fellow Indiana prep pitcher Matthew Fisher this spring, he certainly enhanced his draft stock after pitching well into the upper 90s in front of big league crosscheckers.

A 6-foot-1, 180-pound righthander, Rhodes hinted at signs of burgeoning velocity over the last year.

He topped out at 94 mph on the 2024 summer showcase circuit, then pushed his fastball up to 97 in an indoor bullpen session in March.

He showed evaluators a pair of fastball shapes, delivering a two-seamer with impressive armside life, and throws both from a lower arm slot.

Hell also mix in a high-spin breaking ball in the low 80s and a low-spin changeup in the mid 80s.

While Rhodes doesnt have a ton of physical projection remaining, he has a solid blend of present stuff, even if his effortful delivery casts some concern about his strike-throwing.

Rhodes remained committed to Mississippi State even after new coach Brian OConnor took over after arriving from Virginia.Dylan Wood Wood is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound righthander with plenty of funkiness thanks to a deceptive delivery and lively pitch mix.

He works from the first base side of the rubber and has an extreme amount of tilt and coil in his leg lift, with his back hip pointed toward the plate before unfurling with a drop-and-drive action in his lower half and throwing from a low three-quarters slot.

Despite the oddity and all of the moving parts, Wood has shown solid command of a fastball that sits in the 89-93 mph range and has touched 94.

While the fastball isnt a high-octane pitch, it does play up because of his release point and his feel to locate it.

Wood throws a breaking ball in the mid-to-upper 70s that typically has a three-quarter curveball look, but does vary a bit in both shape and power.

He also mixes in a slow changeup in the low 70s that features a ton of dropthough the lack of power on the pitch might make it easy to identify for advanced hitters.

Woods profile has some smoke and mirrors to it, which could wind up leading him to campus at Arizona, but he could fit on talent in rounds 4-7.Evan Hankins Hankins is a potential middle-of-the-order slugger with raw power that stacks up among the best in the 2025 prep class.

A 6-foot-5, 220-pound first baseman, Hankins has plenty of strength and creates leverage and bat speed with his long levers that gives him easy plus power upside.

He has a slightly spread and crouched stance without too much rhythm in the box with a standard stride and an uphill bat path.

He looks like the sort of hitter who will be able to homer from foul pole to foul pole with the upside to hit close to 30 homers a season.

His power does come with swing-and-miss tendencies that will need to be managed against better pitching competition, but even if he has an above-average strikeout rate, he should provide the power to make up for it.

Hankins is a well below-average runner who probably doesnt have the mobility for a corner outfield spot, but is a solid defender at first base.

He will get on the mound in high school with a fastball up to 91 and the makings of a slider and changeup, but his offensive upside is far ahead of his pitching.

Hankins is old for the class and turned 19 in March before the draft, which will make him an eligible sophomore if he reaches campus at Tennessee.Nicolas Partridge Partridge is a lean, wiry lefthanded hitter and shortstop with exciting hitting traits.

Listed at 6-foot, 160 pounds, Partridge lacks physicality and strength, but he has a mature offensive approach with great balance at the plate.

Partridge has a slightly crouched setup in the box with solid rhythm in his hands and uses a toe tap to get his lower half started before firing his hands with a fairly direct path to the baseball.

Hes done a nice job making adjustments against all pitch types and seems to have an advanced understanding of the strike zone.

Partridge also was a loud performer at PBRs Florida preseason classic this spring and will flash occasional pullside power, though he needs to add plenty of strength to become an average home run producer.

Hes a fine runner but not a burner and has a chance to stick at shortstop, though his actions and arm strength could wind up being a better fit for second or third base.

Partridge is a Florida commit who could make a big jump by adding strength and providing more clarity to his long-term defensive home in college.Anthony Pack Jr.

Pack Jr.

is a compact lefthanded hitter and outfielder with a 5-foot-11, 175-pound frame and balanced set of tools.

While he doesnt have huge power and lacks the sort of physical projection to dream on lots more coming, Pack has always stood out for his bat speed.

He fires his hands quickly through the zone with a tight turn of the barrel that keeps his hands inside the ball.

He has a crouched, slightly open stance and does a nice job letting the ball travel and driving hard, low line drives up the middle.

While Pack might not have big home run upside, he should collect plenty of extra-base hits on balls in the gaps thanks to his contact ability and speed.

Hes a plus runner who gets out of the box quickly and should be a regular threat on the bases.

His speed, range, instincts and athleticism will give him a chance to be an above-average defender in center field, and he also has a solid arm.

Pack has up-the-middle tools and a leadoff-hitting look, but some teams might prefer to see him prove his offensive ability at Texas.The post Top 50 High Schoolers Headed To College Baseball After 2025 MLB Draft appeared first on College Baseball, MLB Draft, Prospects - Baseball America..
