The state of Colorado has become a quiet hotbed for draft talent over recent years and Gregory-Alford may be the next best-kept secret out of the upper-Four Corners. "TGA" is an ultra-physical righty with a low-90s fastball touching 97 that really bores in on righty knuckles. It features heavy arm-side run and a bit of carry, though he'll mix in multiple shapes on the heater at times depending on the batter. "TGA" has the full assortment of pitches at his disposal including a mid-to-upper 80s slider with hard two-plane break, a curveball with downer action in the low-80s, and a fading changeup that features good shape, though it's presently broadcast a bit due to decelerating arm-speed. There's some effort at release, but Gregory-Alford possesses good body control and looks like the type of frame that can withstand the rigors of long innings. Pitching as a whole has continued to look easier and easier for the Colorado product over the last 18 months. That has a big up arrow next to his name in the draft. Gregory-Alford will turn 18 years old just weeks before the draft, a trait you cannot teach and one teams do seem to covet come draft day.

Rainer is a highly-decorated two-way player with a well-leveraged left-handed swing and legitimate game power. When he's out in front of spin, the pull-side juice is considerable. Rainer's swing can corkscrew a bit when he over-swings, but the offensive upside here is quite high. In terms of the overall hit tool, it's been streaky on the tournament and showcase circuit, but the impact is undeniable when he gets ahold of one with power to all fields. Rainer can get passive at times, and falling behind has made things more difficult on his offensive game. Scouts would like to see him a bit more assertive in the box, punishing mistake fastballs with more consistency and eagerness, green-lighting himself more often in hitters' counts. On the dirt, Rainer may ultimately grow off the shortstop position to third base, but his physical tools on the dirt stand out. It's a 70-grade arm with a gliding nature and soft, deliberate hands, as well as an impressive internal clock. Regardless of his eventual position, the frame is long, the bat speed is big, and the overall ceiling is significant. He's also a plus runner underway. The tools are quite big if he hits. At time of publish, it seems as though more teams seem to prefer Rainer a potential pitcher where he's been up to 96 with an upper-70s breaking ball he's shown feel for landing in the zone. The frame, operation and pure arm strength has some believing there's triple-digit upside with starter traits. If he elects to go primary on the bump, he could be the first prep selected out of the state of California in 2024.

Schiefelbein is your typical UCLA commit. He's got a whippy, projection arm with present stuff that should play immediately for the Bruins should he make it to campus. It's an incredibly polished, projectable profile with a buttery operation and strike-thrower mentality. Schiefelbein understands tempo and can play the ball to every quadrant. The southpaw has been clocked up to 94, though he's usually more 90-92. He's got two breaking balls, though they tend to melt together over longer outings. The harder slider is his better offering right now with two-plane tilt and some strong tunneling attributes off a deceptive fastball. He's been flirting with a low-80s changeup, but it's inconsistent, flashing fringy when executed. If there's on knock, he does have a tendency to audibly grunt on the fastball as he gets deeper into innings and outings. That effort generally doesn't show up in the form of lost command or a loss of velocity. He'll turn 18 years old just a couple months before the draft and has model traits teams tend to covet on day one.

Carns is one of the more impressive high school catchers coming out of the state of Florida in 2024 thanks to a well-rounded game and some projection with the bat. The hit tool is solid here. It's a short, compact stroke with a line-drive focus and an awfully quiet load. There's a real feel for the barrel. Carns has enormous bat speed with considerable stretch in his load and should hit for big power as he continues to develop. He's presently a plus runner, a rare trait for a catcher at any level. It's an athletic frame too, and should hold some twitch as he matures. He's a strong blocker behind the plate and has showcased soft hands and above average arm projection at showcase tournaments throughout the last calendar year. Carns is an aggressive hitter with a well-balanced game and athletic traits on every tool. He's a high-follow approaching the draft, though he'll turn 19 a few months before the event, so models may knock his profile down a peg. A Florida State commit.

Kuhns has now-stuff with a fastball up to 95. He features a lean, slender build with plenty of room for muscle and budding velocity. His strong lower-half and drop-and-drive lower-half point toward a guy who could continue to add velocity as he matures further. Kuhns is a bit of a spin magician with a low-80s curveball occasionally exceeding 3000 rpm. He can also flip over an average changeup at times. The story here is projectable upside and feel for spin, and that's a great blueprint for future success. Kuhns will turn 19 years old a couple months before the draft, something model teams will weigh into their draft-day value equation here.

Bell will be on the older side for this class turning 19 years old just a month before the draft, but he's been one of the more consistent bats and gloves across this class for a couple years now. He's a bat-to-ball specialist with an opposite field approach. Bell is also a patient hitter who draws his walks. It's below power, but he's begun tapping into more and more over-the-fence upside going back to Area Code Games in 2023. Bell's profile is buoyed by strong defensive actions and a mature IQ on the field that should help him stay at shortstop or second base at the next level.

Williams is a long-levered, lean southpaw who produces massive extension down the mound with a loose, longer arm action in the back, but he still fills up the zone. Williams really knows how to pitch. He has feel for spin and commanding the baseball to both sides of the plate. He'll mix it up with three pitches, all of which he's comfortable throwing to both lefties and righties. The fastball is a 2-seamer with some arm-side run and the occasional sink when he gets through the pitch. It'll sit 90-94, but the frame screams more velocity on the way. Williams' secondaries get the headlines with scouts. His mid-80s changeup features fantastic tunneling off the heat, with late dart away from righty bats. He really turns the pitch over and induces tumble late. A low-80s slider features below average spin rates, but his feel for the pitch and shaping his arsenal more than make up for it. It's a two-plane sweeper that he'll front door or back door to both sides of the plate. It's been a chase pitch for Williams, and projects a potential above average weapon with further refinement. Presently, Williams has a fringy fastball, an above average chnageup and a solid average breaking ball. His long, lean frame is something to dream on, and more "stuff" could be on the way.

Following along the long line of Blue Valley SW arms to come through the draft the last few years, Siebert may be the best of the bunch. He's already up to 97, living 92-93 with a firm, mid-80s slider. A massive, imposing figure on the mound, Siebert works downhill with authority. The ease of his operation really stands out, and his ability to control all the moving parts of his frame at such a young age is fairly rare. It's early, but Siebert appears to have top-of-the-rotation upside. He's a good one.

Arrambide has huge physical tools and the trajectory of a guy who could surge into the first round. Behind the plate, he's an explosive mover with considerable lateral mobility, though consistency with blocking the ball and keeping everything in front of him remains a point of emphasis in his development. He's got a plus throwing arm and shows good burst out of the crouch posting gaudy showcase pop times. There's some polish necessary to stay behind the plate at the next level, but the arm strength is so impressive it'll almost certainly work at the next level, especially if robo-umps eventually command the game. Offensively, Arrambide has a lofty swing that's built for damage, and he's been one of the most prodigious sluggers on the high school side during this cycle. He's got plenty of bat speed, and has showcased over-the-fence power in games across the country. Arrambide has the archetype of a strong-arm backstop with big power at the plate so long as the hit tool allows him to get to it in games at the next level. Arrambide has some similarities to Jared Jones, the second-year slugger at LSU. They're both big-bodied backstops who may ultimately move out from behind the plate, but it's prodigious raw power.

Payne is a burner with double-plus speed and a whippy, gap-to-gap approach at the plate. He's started adding weight of late and has showcased some very real pull-side power too. He can get a little over-anxious in the box and has a tendency to work himself into pitcher's counts, but that should be ironed out over time. Scouts would like to see the repeatability of his swing become more consistent as we approach the draft -- his timing triggers can vary in different counts. His best tools are on the basepaths and in the field. Payne is a well put together athlete who should stay in centerfield long-term so long as the crispness of his routes continue to improve. In a class where there's so many question marks about guys staying up the middle of the field, Payne is as good a bet to stay in center as anyone on this board. There's considerable upside here.

Abernathy, a Tennessee commit, is a real spark plug and a terror for the opposition once on the bases. He's got a smaller frame, and likely won't hit for too much power moving forward, but this is the type of player you throw at the top of the lineup and watch things happen. He's smooth as hell on the dirt with twitch and flash at shortstop, a highlight reel defender. His above average throwing arm gives him a shot to stay at the position too. Abernathy has top-two round potential and has a bit of a Dee Gordon archetype about him, though admitedly there's a decent bit more bat speed here.

Harris certainly looks the part of the bluechip quarterback, 5-star third base prospect. A massive, physically imposing presence on both sides of the ball, Harris has punished his peers for years now. The bat is the calling card with loud barrels to all-fields and comfortably double-plus raw power putting on jaw-dropping displays of bat speed in showcase settings. Harris is still learning how to lift the baseball with authority consistently, but if it all clicks as he gets older and more athletic, he could be an offensive force. The power will undoubtedly play, now comes determining just how the hit tool will come along. There was quite a bit of swing and miss in tournament settings in 2023, but when it was clicking, Harris was easily the loudest bat on the field. Some in the industry are rather bullish. Defenisvely, Harris has a slow heartbeat and gets low to the ground with soft hands and deliberate actions. He has enough arm strength to handle third base, though his throws can get inconsistent as his release can vary depending on the momentum of his frame. One final feather in Harris' cap? He'll be just 17.9 years old on the day of the draft and will finish his first full season in professional baseball (should he go that direction) as an 18 year old. Draft models will absolutely love him. There's something of a Tommy White trajectory here if he ends up at school. The bat could really explode with further seasoning.

Sanford has a wiry frame and athletic actions on the dirt, all of which point to a future staying up the middle of the field. This is one of the prettier left-handed swings in the class, and while performance and production has been streaky, he looks the part of a guy who could really hit with more reps.

Head is a wiry, athletic outfielder with a smooth lefty stroke at the plate and a quick first step. Head has fast hands and quick wrists, turning on heat on the inner third for impact consistently. Head is an above average runner who may ultimately grow into average power. His continued emphasis on adding strength and bat speed going forward will define his ceiling, but the approach and pure bat-to-ball skills are quite strong at present. He's still polishing up his footwork and technique in the field, but the bat has taken major strides forward in the last calendar year and has seen his stock jump because of it. The hit tool here is quite refined. Last summer, Head posted some of the healthiest chase and whiff rates of anybody in the country. In terms of models, that'll go a long way in pushing his profile up boards. Head is on the older side beings he'll be 19 at the draft, so he'll be expected to produce consistently, as well as impact the ball more than his peers as we approach July. There's a good bit of projection remaining in Head's lean, long-levered 6-foot-3-inch profile.

Miller, a re-class out of 2025, is a plus runner with a quick first step out of the box with a frame that suggests he should hold that athleticism into professional ball. He features a sturdy built frame with present strength evenly distributed throughout. It's a bit of a bulldog, powderkeg body that doesn't possess too much more physical upside, though Miller is already impacting the baseball when he chooses to sell out for slug. He boasts average exit velocity figures for his age and could get to solid average raw power thanks to his dense, athletic frame. Miller tends to emphasize the bat-to-ball in his swing rather than tap into his natural raw power more often than not, especially against more premium pitching. Miller has active hands, rhythm, and some unconventional wiggle in his load, all of which act as timing triggers for his swing. It's a shorter swing that finishes cut-off out in front in an attempt to extend and lift the ball, stroking line drives usually to the opposite field gap. While Miller has yet to hit for much power on the showcase and tournament circuit, he's been one of the better bat-to-ball hitters in the prep ranks and does a nice job staying inside the zone. His 93% in-zone contact rate in 2022 and 2023 is indicative of the type of "put the game in motion" type of hitter than Miller currenty is. Ultimately, he's still rather green in terms of seeing high-level pitching, but the tools are there for a potentially strong contact hitter who could develop into some power as he ages. Miller could become an above average hit tool, average game-power guy if it all clicks. It's an above average throwing arm that should be an asset in either center or right field. Technically, his footwork is more advanced than most of his peers and he's got a shot to stick in centerfield if his routes and instincts are up to par.

It's a strong arm and explosiveness out of a low crouch. That checks a lot of boxes for scouts. Offensively, it's a quiet setup with a hit-tool approach and there should be some power coming down the line. Clark will barely be 18 years old on draft day and teams may be willing to take a chance on the projection backstop on day two.

As a position prospect, Cason has the chops to stick at shortstop with good lateral mobility and a cannon for an arm. He's a solid average runner and can get to most plays in either direction. Cason has seen his skills at the plate tick up of late, but finding consistent success with the bat will be a key development for him moving forward. Cason will be just 17 years old on draft day and will be heavily favored by model teams.

In a year lacking top-end right-handed prep arms, Flores really stands out for his present velocity, operation and three-pitch arsenal. He'll grab 96, sitting 92-93 over multi-inning shows with carry and some arm-side run. To this date, he hasn't missed a ton of bats with the heater as its shape might be a bit dead-zone in nature. Still, it's hard to argue with the velocity and projection for more on the way. Flores can really snap over an upper-70s, high-spin curveball with 11-5 shape and big depth. He sells the pitch with big arm speed and conviction. There's also a naiscent changeup that he's struggled to command. Flores is an explosive athlete with fantastic coil and drive down the bump with more strengh on the way. His broad shoulders, durable frame and ability to hold velocity point to a future starter at the next level. He turns 18 years old just a few months before the draft and has the youthfulness card in his back pocket for model teams. He's got day one upside.

The swing can get flat on pitches above the belt, though his lefty-loop zone low-and-inside feasts. Lewis is short to the zone and compact in his operation. He's performed across multiple tournaments, showcases, and league play and has a good chance to hit at the next level. Lewis is light on his feet in the field and moves well to his right. He's got a solid average arm that plays well. He's got a reasonably good shot to stick at shortstop, though may be a better fit at second base or third base with more weight. Lewis projects a solid average runner who can steal some bases moving forward. He is an Arkansas commit.

You won't find much more electricity in the 2024 class than what Dylan Jordan brings to the mound. He's a fantastic athlete with immense projection. Already grabbing 96 here and there, Jordan will sit 92-94 with immense arm-side run and some sink. He'll tunnel that with a sweeping slider in the mid-80s that comfortably projects plus. It might be the best two-pitch combination available in the 2024 prep class. There's also an upper-70s changeup in there with some fade and solid velocity separation. Jordan has a longer arm action and will have to prove he can throw strikes consistently if teams are to buy the prospect of starting at the next level, but this is one of the most unique and electric arms you can find in 2024.

He features a strong frame with broad shoulders and a barrel chest. de Groot has a short, compact path through the zone with a short, low, two-handed finish. For now, de Groot seems to sell-out for bat-to-ball rather than flex his physical frame and bat speed in games. He utilizes an opposite-field approach against more premium competition, but shows easy plus raw power in batting practice to the pull-side. Presently, he has a tendency to hit the ball on the ground with more frequency than in the air, but scouts believe as he gets more comfortable with top-shelf pitching, he'll be able to let his offensive tools rip a bit more and the results will bore out a bit louder in games. de Groot has clocked 4.2 home-to-first; a plus runner underway, as well as in 60-yard dash testing. It's also an above average arm in the field. de Groot is a toolshed with a ton of upside in every aspect of his game.

The breaking ball projects well with high spin and slurving shape, tight break with late bite when it's right. Changeup lags, but has flashed potential at different stops, but more commonly in side sessions. This is a big scap-load guy who projects to throw very hard as he ages into professional ball. For now, his arm can be late at times cauing some command woes, and there's some violence in his delivery that'll need to be calmed if he hopes to throw enough strikes to start. Yeager is a tremendous athlete with two-way upside include plus raw power, but just about everyone sees his future on the bump.

Hogg is a toolsy player with steady leather on the dirt and fundamental actions in all his game. He's an above average runner with burgeoning bat speed, growing past his gap-to-gap profile of his younger years. Hogg is more of a gap-hitter at the plate with a quick, flat attacking plane, using the gaps to his advantage. When he wants to get into ambush mode, he can get a bit more aggressive with his launch angles and bat speed, though Hogg tends to focus on putting together a mature at-bat and not selling out. He's got a long, decorated history of handling velocity, and handling it well, so transitioning to the pro game should be rather smooth, at least in terms of seeing arms that throw hard on a regular basis. Hogg is a shortstop for now, though his speed and actions could force him into the outfield. In any case, his steadfast approach toward the game will serve him well anywhere on the diamond. Hogg is 19 at the time of the 2024 draft, so he'll be eligible again in 2026 if he makes it to LSU.

On the dirt, he uses his wiry frame well with a whippy arm and solid range to his left and enough arm to make most plays into the hole. Dix may end up at second base or third base as a pro.

Shouse is an extremely impressive athlete on the mound with sublime body control coming out of a longer arm action, attacking hitters. The fastball works up to 98 and is commanded well. There's real deception here. The ball jumps on hitters with late carry. While it's not presently exceptional command, Shouse has shown flashes of dominance in the zone and there are plenty of scouts who like the upside as a starter. He's worked to develop more depth on a low-80s slider, and that's seen real progress over the last year. There's also a changeup that he'll offer to left-handed hitters. Offensively, it's twitchy raw power with a double-plus throwing arm on the dirt and athletic, gliding actions all over the infield. He's got the chops to stay on the left side of the field.

He spins the ball well with rpm rates well-above average for his fastball, and a few ticks above average on his breaking ball as well. There's also a fringier changeup here that'll sit in the mid-80s, though Swanson struggles to kill spin, generally sitting in the 2100 range for his off-speed weapon. Swanson has the potential for two weapons in the FB-CB combo, but will need to continue honing in his control and command as he ages.

Springer is a natural hitter with a quiet, compact swing featuring heavy hands and huge rotational torque. He covers every quadrant in the zone, and has the manueverability to battle off tough pitches. For now, it's mostly fringe-average power, but this is a good frame and scouts think he could change his approach a tick and lean into potentially solid power at the next level, maybe more. He possesses the hand and barrel speed necessary to get there. He's a much twitchier athlete than his exit velocity figures suggest, so as he ages and matures into his game process, Springer should see his output jump considerably. Springer is a strong athlete who's willing to dive onto balls in the dirt and sacrifice the body. He's a fringy catch-and-throw guy who relies on anticipation out of the crouch to post pop times. His arm strength will need to improve, though he'll barely be 18 years old on draft day. A real model darling. Teams will want to see whether he is capable of handling third base or the outfield as we approach the draft. If anyone is convinced of his athleticism on the infield, he's got a shot at going in the Top 3 rounds.

Defensively, scouts are split on whether his physical frame adn athleticism will stick behind the plate. Fralick has a strong arm and can deliver a seed, but needs to work on his explosion out of the crouch to get his pop times consistently lower. Fralick could be destined for third base or first base going forward, but there are plenty of folks in the industry who are all-in on the player due to the bat anyways. He's got a good shot of going on day two if the number is right.

Defensively, scouts are split on whether his actions will ultimately keep him at shortstop, or whether the entire package fits better in centerfield or at third base. Clavon possesses a quiet demeanor at the plate and a willingness to really work deep into a count to get a fastball. He projects to hit for a bit of power, but it's mostly a slashing gap approach for the time being. He's done wonders to alter his swing, staying more connected and opening up some upside at the plate. There's still a split on whether he'll hit enough or impact the game enough offensively to reach the obvious ceiling his physical tools present, but it's an up-arrow. There's bat speed here and he could turn a few over the fence in due time. Clavon will need to show improvement with the bat as we approach the draft to capture his day-one upside, but his inherent talent in many parts of the game is without question.

Strosnider is a game who has talent at the plate and on the mound. He's grown into pull-side power of late and gets to it from a swing that creates big stretch and extension out in front of the plate. Strosnider is short to the ball too, and can adjust to pitches high and low. His profile has really blossomed of late and now represents one of the more intriguing outfield prospects in the class. Defensively, his average speed and average speed will likely place him in a corner at the next level, but the arm has ticked up the last twelve months and could have a place in right field.

A massively imposing righty, and rare find out of the great state of North Dakota, Rerick is a talented, burly righty with a big fastball and budding secondaries. Already up to 96, Rerick is a primary fastball guy who folds in the occassional 12-6 bender with huge depth. It lacks bite and sharpness, but flashes upside with spin and feel. Rerick has some inconsistencies in his delivery and a plunge in his lower half that can cause the fastball command to waver, but early in outings Rerick has shown the ability to spot pitches to both sides of the plate. He'll be young for the draft, barely 18 years old, and considering his frame and physical upside, will have suitors in the draft.

Mullinax is a tool shed with a power/speed combination that is certainly tough to come by. The bat speed here is impressive with notable pull-side power as a left-handed hitter, but more hitterish from the right. Both swings present an arm bar that can on occassion lead to consistency of contact woes, but he's performed well in tournament and showcase settings. Mullinax has above-average to plus speed and projects to stay in centerfield. He features an average throwing arm that can play in any spot. A patient hitter that lacks much swing-and-miss in his game, scouts like the approach and his willingness to get on-base and use his wheels to create run-scoring opportunities. Mullinax really sinks into his hips and tends to drift into some swings, but it's a firm front side with twitchy hips and budding bat speed. Another five-tool potential guy.

Wentworth is a fantastic two-way prospect with a potential future on the mound of with the bat depending on which direction his development goes. On the mound, his 6-foot-5-inch left-handed frame has been up to 88 with deception and athleticism. He's got a slider and a curveball, both of which flash upside as he hides the ball well. In the field, Wentworth is a fringy runner and may ultimately end up at first base, but it's his sweet left-handed swing that scouts love. He doesn't possess massive bat speed despite his size, but his hitterish tendencies and all-fields approach are mature beyond his years. Scouts think he'll really hit moving forward. Given his size, the bat speed and raw power may come soon. He's got a shot to play outfield if the frontline speed ticks up. Wentworth is an extremely decorated quarterback in the 2024 class and may need to be bought away from the gridiron.

A long, lean, prototype right-handed pitcher, Brown certainly looks the part. He's already brushing 95 with heavy arm-side run. It's a starter operation and a loose, easy arm action that pounds the zone. Brown throws a disgusting mid-80s slider with considerable depth and bat-missing shape against both lefties and righties. The ball explodes out of Brown's hand and creates some organic deception. Brown is a good athlete who repeats well and has held low-90s velocity over several innings. His command of the strikezone with the fastball can get streaky depending on the outing, though his peaks have been loud. Brown is committed to Oklahoma State and has tons of fans in the scouting community.

Southisene is a smaller-framed infielder with all the twitch and explosion you could ask for from a guy of his package. Fantastic hands at the plate and on the dirt are the story here. Southisene has tremendous feel for manipulating the barrel and driving the ball to every gap, occasionally spraying a backspinner over the fence to his pull-side. He's got a great first step in either direction and could develop into a plus defender at second base. While he's twitchy with a ton of burst, he's not necessarily a straight line sprinter, likely just an above average runner at best at his peak.

Hernandez is an amateur scout's dream. He throws four pitches, all of which are controlled into the zone and commanded well to both left-handed and right-handed hitters. His fastball rests 92-93 but will grab 94 at its peak. There's some darting action to his heat, dotted both glove-side and arm-side. The slider, changeup and curveball are all extremely effective offerings against his prep peers as Hernandez mixes it up and pitches backwards better than most arms in the class. He's a bulldog on the mound who works quickly and repeats very well. The starter traits are reasonably obvious here. It looks like the makings of an innings-eater who should be effective, a la Brady Singer. Hernandez is a Georgia Tech commit who will turn 19 shortly after the draft. There's also considerable upside offensively as Hernandez has shown feel to hit and already possesses above average raw power. He's smooth and consistent at third base as well. He's got plenty of suitors in the scouting community and it will likely come down to whether a team will fit his signing bonus ask.

Shull is a bat-first, power-over-hit infielder who provides plenty of bat speed and impact at the plate. The hit tool continues to advance as he's aged, leading some to believe he's one of the more enticing offensive prospects in the class. Shull is a below average runner who will likely end up at first or second base at the next level. He will be 19 years old on draft day.

Jones is an ultra-physical force who plays the game hard and presents impact on both sides of the ball. His tools stand out on offense where he shows above average bat speed and a willingness to play to all fields. He's got explosive actions and should hit for more power as he matures into a more well-rounded hitter. Jones is a fringy runner with a bit of a stiff gait, not uncommon for catchers at this age. Jones has a strong arm, though his arm action has some scouts questioning if he'll ultimately end up at first base to allow the bat to move quickly. Teams will be buying the power here first and foremost.

Mabeus is an impressive switch-hitting catcher with big catch-and-throw skills and considerable strength and bat speed from both sides of the plate. A 6-foot-4 mountain of a prospect, Mabeus has shown big game power from both sides of the plate, though there's more present loft from the left-side and a bit more blistering line drive doubles juice from the right. Either way, scouts like the hit-ability from both sides and think he's got a shot to hit and hit for power as both a left- and right-handed hitter. The arm strength and pop out of the crouch really stand out for Mabeus as well. His transfers are lightning quick. There's some technical work in terms of directional efficiency behind the plate, but most believe he's got a solid chance to stick back there at the next level; pretty impressive considering his size and physicality. A fringy runner now, Mabeus will draw most of his value out of the bat and up-the-middle role. Mabeus is lauded for his leadership qualities in the dugout and in handling his arms. He's assertive, confident, and drives the bus for his team.

Kirk's entire arsenal really sneaks up on hitters with strong deception, hiding the ball well. He's got long levers and projects to add more strength as he matures. Kirk will work up to 92, more commonly settling in 88-90 with arm-side run. His low-to-mid 70s changeup flashes above average at times, throwing on the breaks and separating considerably off the fastball. An upper-70s curveball is a viable weapon right now, flashing solid average with real feel for commanding the pitch to both sides of the plate, utilizing it as a get-me-over strike-stealer or spiked for chase. Kirk has fantastic pitchability and is one of the more polished arms in the class.

He has a lot of versatility and has shown the aptness to handle all three infield positions. Scouts really like the bat-to-ball skills here and believe Federico has a real chance to hit. He's a sum-of-his-parts who has a number of avenues to a big league profile with a smattering of average tools. It's one of the more polished hit tools in the class, albeit lacking prototypical impact from the hot corner.

Marsten is another Stanford commit who figures to be a tough sign away from Palo Alto. He's finally back on the mound having missed close to 18 months recovering from Tommy John surgery, but the stuff has really come back, and then some. Marsten is working up into the mid-90s with a slider and a curveball that really project going forward. Marsten has one of the more put-together operations in the class and has a real chance to start and throw long outings at the next level. Teams will have to decide how they weigh the elbow injury in their evaluations, and Marsten will be 19 on draft day, but the upside and present stuff here are unrivaled in a lot of ways in this class.

Davis is a large and imposing force on the mound with an athletic frame, rounded shoulders and a strong lower half. He'll work the fastball up to 93 with arm-side run to both sides of the plate. His slider is a real weapon, a gyroscopic bowling ball with considerable depth and swing-and-miss characteristics. Davis likes to throw a budding changeup to lefties too, and it's been effective in tournament settings as well. It's a good operation. He's consistently on time both with his hand break and getting the arm up. Davis has starter traits and should continue to improve his overall arsenal as he gains reps and matures.

Offensively, there's a lot of moving parts and triggers that'll need to be ironed out to become a consistent force against advanced stuff. Parker has plenty of bat speed and the athleticism is readily apparent at the plate. As we work toward the July draft, scouts would like to see Parker quiet it down a bit at the plate and develop a routine. When he does, his stock could soar.

Rizy is a huge right-handed pitcher with an intimidating frame and stuff that has continued to tick up year or year dating back to his sophomore campaign at Worcester. For now, he sits 90-93, touching 94 with an upper-70s breaking ball featuring two-plane tilt. Rizy has a smooth operation and impressive body control considering his size and levers. If the stuff continues to surge leading up to draft day, he's got a shot to go in the first couple rounds of the draft. That said, he'll be roughly 19.5 years old on draft day and will turn 20 before opening day 2025. It's something model teams will weigh into the equation of draft-day value.

Townsend is one of the most fiery competitors in the 2024 class. He holds himself to a high bar that can come across in demonstrative ways on the mound. He's an audible competitor who isn't afraid to show emotion on the bump. He is a metric-darling with massive spin rates on the breaking ball and a high spin fastball. He'll work up to 94 with the fastball, resting 89-91 in later innings. While the fastball has strong spin and shape at times, commanding the pitch at the top of the zone will be an important development for Townsend going forward. The aforementioned breaking ball is a hammer curve thrown in the mid-70s to low-80s with huge downer break and conviction. The shape of the pitch will vary at times, but at its best, it features sharp, late bite, spiked into the catcher's glove at the dirt. He'll grab north of 3000 rpm at times with it. The two pitches tunnel well off each other and represent a bit of a meta in professional baseball right now. He's also worked to refine a changeup that he's grown more and more comfortable throwing in games, flashing above average at times with spin-killing release. Townsend's control and command are still a work in progress, though they've seen a tick up in recent months and are tracking toward being viable in a rotation role at Ole Miss or the next level. Repeating his delivery, holding his strength deeper into games, and staying in the strikezone will be keys toward his future impact on the mound.

There are few players in the 2024 class who play with the physicality and aggression that Johnston brings to the table. Offensively, it's massive bat speed and over-the-fence projection. Game power is already quite present. The frame and athleticism here point to a truly impactful bat at the next level. He's worked to iron down a small hitch in his hands in the loading mechanism, but it's hardly affected his ability to handle top-tier pitching over the last 18 months. Defensively, Johnston is a shortstop now, but may ultimately shift to third base where his massive arm strength and broad body is most efficient. Johnston is presently an average runner with an intentful gait.

Mowry has been a steady performer on the tournament scene providing power and impact to whichever lineup he's in. A primary catcher, Mowry will shift between first base and DH in an attempt to get his bat in the lineup at whatever cost. He's maxed out physically with a ton of strength in his broad, powerful upper-half. Mowry produces a ton of bat speed with a steep, uphill attack angle and a slugging intent. He consistently takes big swings, generating over-the-fence power and huge rotational force of which has been proven and on display at a number of stops. There are certainly some swing and miss concerns here, but they generally don't rear their head until he falls behind in the count and starts to anxiously protect. Still, it's an impactful bat with at least an outside shot to catch as a platoon option at the next level. There's some Dominic Keegan in the overall package here, however Mowry is committed to Louisville.

Tess has shown well in tournament settings and has some of the better numbers you can find in the class against upper-tier velocity.

There's some whiffs in his game against spin and offspeed offerings, though Tess is still extremely young for the class and won't turn 18 until after the draft. Catchers are generally a tough demographic to evaluate and project in any given draft, but given Tess's model-friendly profile and performances in front of a huge number of scouts, he'll certainly have been seen more than plenty of his peers in 2024.

Layton is one of the more tooled up athletes in the prep ranks this summer. He possesses a strong glove and projects to stay at shortstop where his plus speed, quick first step and strong arm are all an asset. A 6.4 runner in the 60-yard dash, Layton gets tremendous jumps on the base paths and should be a weapon to steal bases at the next level. The bat is still a work in progress, though it's shown continued growth over the last handful of months. While it may ultimately be below average game power, Layton does a nice job of using the whole field with a gap-to-gap swing, working long at-bats, battling deep into counts. If the hit tool can be just average at the next level, considering his physical twitchy tools, Layton has a chance at developing into a valuable player on the dirt. It's also not out of the question Layton ends up on the mound. He's already up to 94, and his athleticism points toward more velocity on the way.

McPherson works in a tight, sweeping slider that's been up to 86, more casually 82-83 with perfect tunneling attributes off the sinker. He's also flashed a changeup at times during the summer cycle.

Pearson is set to join his brother Josh at LSU should he go unselected in the 2024 MLB Draft, but there are enough teams in on his profile to where that certainly is not a foregone conclusion. Pearson has drawn comparisons to former Royals slugger Billy Butler. He's a talented hitter with considerably more bat speed than his same-age peers, and could develop into above average game power when all is said and done. Pearson has a discerning eye at the plate and strong bat-to-ball skills, though can get fooled on spin against more premium competition. Defensively, he projects best to first base moving forward, though he's a better runner than many give him credit for any can deploy average speed in left field. Pearson's profile is carried by the bat however. He could earn early playing time in Baton Rouge should he end up on campus.

Kea represents the top prospect coming out of the islands of Hawaii in 2024, and it's pretty clear why immediately taking in his showcase performances. He's an ultra-physical middle-of-the-order type of bat with thunderous bat speed, strong wrists and lightning quick hands. Kea projects east double-plus raw power. There's some extra movement in his hands in the loading phase, but scouts believe that'll be ironed out in time. Kea is an average runner with solid burst and should be capable on the base paths. Defensively, he could end up behind the plate or at a corner infield role in due time. Kea has enough arm strength to catch at the next level, and gets out of the crouch quickly generally making accurate throws to the bag. The athleticism is there to stay behind the plate if he doesn't get too strong and stiff for the role. The arm strength should play at third base, though first base is a possibility. Either way, this may be the most raw power in the high school position player class, and that's what teams would be buying.

He hides the ball well and produces plenty of carry through the zone on a low-90s fastball that's been up to 95 in shorter outings. Lopez can snap off a promising breaking ball with late tilt and two-planes, generally spun in the low-80s. This is a kid with a quick arm, big arm strength and room to grow into more velocity and stuff as he gets stronger.

There's a curveball and a changeup in here too, but his two primary pitches and naturally deceptive arm-slot has been enough to stump would-be hitters.

Solier is currently a middle infielder with raw power as the carrying tool. He's long through the zone and does a nice job of creating space and extension in his stride. There's some lag to the barrel that helps produce his bat speed. Solier has quick hands and the barrel really explodes through his front side. It's a physical frame, primarily in the upper-half presently, though he should get stronger in the lower half soon. Solier has power to all fields and has showcased opposite field juice against good arms. There's some swing and miss in the profile, and chase is present against more premium secondary offerings, but few middle infielders in the class can match the pure raw power Solier can. He's an above average runner and should keep much of his speed thanks to a long stride and athletic gait. Defensively, scouts question whether the arm action will ultimately play on the dirt or whether his profile may be best served in left field. There's a tendency to short-arm his action across the diamond. He has reliable hands, but the footwork and transfer need further reps. Regardless, you're buying the bat and the bat speed here.

Ong has seen a meteoric rise in his draft stock over the last 18 months thanks to a mammoth growth spurt and the subsequent added athleticism has really transformed his game. Ong has an especially fast arm and a ton of deception coming from a longer arm action that can lull the opposition to sleep. He can get into trouble when he gets a little too deliberate, but is generally a fairly consistent strike-thrower. Ong will grab 96, resting 90-93 over multi-inning showings. The heater carries through the zone, though he'll mix in a 2-seam than runs in on righty knuckles. A low-80s slider has big two-plane tilt though it can hump a bit as Ong fatigues. Still, it's a breaking ball that presently projects above average. There's an upper-70s changeup here too. Ong personifies projection and as he grows more familiar with his new frame and tempo, could develop into a front-end type prospect.

He's as good a bet as you'll find to stick at the "6" in this class so long as he doesn't outgrow the position. Marin is an average runner but his instincts do allow his tools to play up a bit on both sides of the ball. For now, he's a line-to-line hitter who lacks impact punch at the plate, though he does have the frame to project some future juice. Marin has a swing that's quick to the ball and has performed well in showcase and tournament settings.

Hotchkiss is a physically imposing right-handed outfielder out of the Pacific Northwest whose seen his stock skyrocket over the past 12 months. The raw power here really stands out, comfortably plus with more potentially on the way. He's flashed big exit velocities both to the pull side and ringing rockets into right-center field. He'll let it eat in batting practice with a full-stride, but will often eliminate the stride entirely in games to catch up with velocity and manipulate the barrel for spin. There's potential here for one of the more impactful bats from this class at the next level. Hotchkiss isn't a one-trick pony either. He's an above average runner with twitch and burst out of the box. He'll take the extra base. Hotchkiss takes decent routes in the outfield, and does have enough arm to handle left field, though scouts like his soft hands at first base and his work around the bag. If a team believes he can handle the outfield, he could go in the first few rounds of the draft. The bat is that good. If he's ultimately a first baseman, he likely fits somewhere in the middle of day two if he can be signed away from his commitment to the University of Washington.

A Wake Forest commit, Levonas will grab 95 when he's hot, sitting 91-93 over multi-inning spots with some carry through the zone. He's a guy that really understands pitch design too. There's a mid-70s curveball here that stays on the heater line late with sharp downer bite. Levonas keeps hitters off the barrel byt mixing in an upper-80s cutter with short, running life. There's also a fringy changeup too. Levonas has a tendency to see his velocity drop a bit after his first couple innings, and there's still a bit of effort at release. As those clean up, his name could surge up boards.

A tall, long frame that continues to project well, Wagner has considerable athleticism and explosiveness for a player his age and size. Long considered a two-way player with upside in the outfield, Wagner has effectively shifted to the mound full-time these days where he'll grab 94 with an imposing fastball. He exudes confidence and a bully mentality on the mound, heavy in presence. It's big extension down the bump and Wagner does a great job of releasing the ball way out in front. A low-80s slider and mid-70s curveball supplement the heat, the former flashing plus with big sweep and sell. Wagner has a longer arm action, but he's consistently on time and he repeats his operation well. He'll need to continue to show strike-throwing ability if he hopes to reach his Top-100 pick upside. There's big upside here.

Lynch really saw his stock skyrocket during the summer of 2023 when his velocity flashed into the mid-90s and held 91-92 over short outings. Lynch is an extremely athletic mover with a super-quick arm and projection remaining in the pure stuff. He offers an upper-70s slider and a mid-80s changeup, both of which are used as power weapons. Lynch could fill a number of roles moving forward, but there are traits to like in a starting pitcher here.

Crecelius is a physical, stout righty with a very good fastball/curveball one-two punch and a genuine feel for pounding the strikezone. The fastball will grab 93 at peak, resting 90-91 with carry through the zone, living on the top rail. The curveball is a firm breaker in the upper-70s with late bite and depth. Again, a well-commanded weapon. Crecelius should continue to get more athletic at the next level, and has a chance to pitch over multiple innings going forward.

Carey is a thick, bulldog-framed righty with a thick lower half and an operation that points toward a future as a starter. He features a clean delivery with a short arm spiral and effortless follow-through at release. It's a three-quarters slot with above average extension for his size. He'll live in the low-90s and dot all four quadrants; a quality strike-thrower that generally won't overpower hitters. He features a low-80s slider that is effective in how it is executed, a whiff-producer low-and-away glove-side. There's also a mid-80s changeup here, but it's more fringy and for the time being, Carey is largely a polished two-pitch guy who's proven he can handle large workloads. Carey will be young for the class, barely 18 on draft day. He is committed to Michigan.

Barth is an intriguing infield prospect in part because of his loose, whippy actions on the dirt and hitterish tendencies at the plate. Scouts love the swing, though his in-game performance and batting practice showings have been inconsistent. Barth is strong at the point of contact with good extension out in front and strong hands through the baseball. He projects to hit for some power, though finding more consistency with the barrel will need to be a priority moving forward. Barth can be an aggressive hitter and expand the zone at times, but he does a good job battling, fouling off pitches and extending at-bats. Defensively, it's a loose operation with whippy arm strength that'll play on the left side of the infield. He has a tendency to rush things at times, and that can lead to occassional arm accuracy woes, but the inherent talent on the dirt is fairly undeniable. There's the potential for average-or-better tools across the board here, but the consistency with the bat will be the biggest emphasis as we move toward July. Barth is a solid average runner who doesn't project to add speed moving forward.

Durnin is a physical righty with stuff that continues to tick up approaching the draft. Now touching 96, Durnin sits 92-93 later in outings but has a tendency to come out hot in the first and second innings. He throws a deep slider in the low-80s, as well as a deceptive changeup in the mid-80s, both of which have induced plenty of whiffs from his foes. A potential three-pitch righty with starter traits, Durnin's name continues to move up draft boards and is a scout favorite in the community.

O'Leary is essentially projection personified. He's a lean, long-levered righty with a thin frame, a high waist and broad shoulders. O'Leary is going to add weight and should continue to add velocity. For now, he's grabbing 94, sitting 91-93 with and will manipulate the shape. O'Leary throws a banger curveball in the low-80s with depth and intent. It's been a swing-and-miss weapon. There's also a naiscent changeup that flashes. He's got a quick arm and a premium frame, though there is some effort at release that'll need to be polished over in time should he hope to start.

Booth is one of the most talented two-way players in the 2024 class. On the mound, it's a terrific operation with drop-and-drive mechanics, sinking into his lower half and launching from a low slot. Booth generates big extension down the mound and hides the baseball well. He's ordinarily 89-91, though he's grabbed 92 and scouts think there's more coming. He hides and tunnels a mid-70s breaking ball off the fastball beautifully, and will keep left-handed batters off the barrel with a low-80s changeup with big parachute action. Offensively, Booth has a smooth, rhythmic, repeatable swing with intent and consistent line drives to all-fields. When he wants to get into one, there's more than enough bat speed and twitch here to put one over the left field fence. On the dirt, Booth is a smooth operator with a quiet internal clock and soft hands. He's been clocked at 94 across the diamond and is more than athletic enough to project an above average glove at third base. His profile could go in any number of directions, but if there's a velocity spike, scouts expect he'll pitch exclusively at the next level.

Myers comes to the plate looking to do damage with serious intent in a violent swing. It's some of the loudest bat speed in the class built into a swing designed for launch. That steep attack angle has led to some contact quality concerns against upper-tier pitching, but also some of the most prodigious shots of the summer. Myers has a bat path not too dissimilar from a guy like Kris Bryant. He'll need to improve his ability to handle velocity at the top of the zone, but Myers absolutely smothers soft stuff left in the zone at the knees. Myers has an extremely strong arm at third base, and is a decorated pitcher in his own right, up to 91 on the bump. Defensively, Myers handles the routine play at the hot corner with ease, though scouts would like to see his hands work a little more out in front, but he projects a third baseman moving forward so long as he doesn't outgrow the position.

Bridges is a polished right-handed pitcher with a repeatable, low-effort operation. There's starter traits here and projectable strike-throwing ability. Bridges isn't a hard-thrower topping out at 91 on most nights, but his fastball offers carry and run through the zone and it's late to pick up. It's the full menu out of the glove including a low-80s slider, a diabolical low-80s changeup, and a banger curve thrown in the upper-70s with some bite and significant vertical traits. Bridges is primarily a fastball-changeup guy and is considered one of the most polished arms in the country. His size and lack of physicality is something to consider, but scouts absolutely love the pitchability and Bridges' willingness to fill up the zone and mix it up.

As projectable as they come, Seagraves is a long, lanky, lean right-hander with a fastball already brushing 95 and a mid-80s slider that's shown teeth at its best. Seagraves is a good athlete on the mound with a repeatable, deliberate operation and explosive arm speed. He's a guy who could live in the mid-90s at peak. Seagraves features a longer elbow spiral and is a bit long in the back. The result has been streaky control of the baseball in game and tournament settings. To date, he's mostly been deployed as a reliever, sometimes in a multi-inning role. Hardly anybody has actually hit his arsenal, and there's true wipeout stuff here if he can learn to consistently get inside the black box over the plate. Seagraves has considerable arm talent and there's a lot more coming. Now comes time to focus on the polish.

Golden is a steady performer with a fastball that's been up to 94 with super-heavy arm-side run and in-zone whiff traits. Golden has an affinity for the top rail and will live up at the letters with his heater. It's a bat-missing pitch that is presently his carrying weapon, largely solid average, maybe above. Golden throws a slider with depth that's been inconsistent in execution, but will show signs of developing into a potential average offering with solid spin and arm speed. He does a good job keeping hitters on their heels with the fastball, darting the breaking ball off the barrel as a put-away pitch. Golden hasn't shown the inherent ability to spin the baseball, and that'll be something teams will work with him on at the next level, but he's loose, whippy, and projectable and those are certainly buzz words for scouts looking for future impact.

Brassfield went through a recent growth spurt and a massive jump in applicable athleticism. At the plate, Brassfield has big bat speed and a smooth, fluid swing. His operation and triggers can very from pitch to pitch, but he's still awfully young and growing into his strength. He's more power-over-hit right now, but both tools have obvious upside. On the mound is where most prefer his game, the athleticism really shows with serious intent downhill and an impressive, whippy arm action. As is the case at the plate, Brassfield is still smoothing out his mechanics on the mound. He'll fall off the mound toward third as he gets deeper into outings, again, something that should iron itself out with added strength, training and reps. He's been up to 94 with strong metrics, though even his spin rates and pitch shapes seem to vary from outing to outing. At his best, his curveball is playing off the fastball, though the curveball sometimes melts into a slurve, losing its teeth and effectiveness. The clay here is impressive and, with another big developmental leap, he could take off in prospect circles.

Akhil is a big, physical right-handed hitting third baseman has huge bat speed and thump behind his swings. It's plus raw power and considerable offensive upside. Akhil's brother, Arjun, was drafted 20th overall by the Toronto Blue Jays in 2023. While Akhil doesn't have the twitch his brother has, he's far more physical and the raw power comes more naturally. This is a premium power bat and a potential middle-of-the-order staple going forward. He's committed to Central Florida.

A Texas Longhorns commit, most expect Stribling will be an extremely tough sign away from Austin, Texas. That said, 6-foot-6-inch lefties don't grow on trees. Stribling has already tickled 95 and will sit 91-92 over multi-inning showings. He mixes in a slurvy breaking ball with huge sweep coming out of a high-three quarter delivery in the upper-70s at it's best. There's a changeup here as well, but it lags both in consistency and feel. Stribling has a sky-high ceiling, but it still learning how to properly use his frame and athleticism. He'll be 19 years old on draft day.

Fien figures to be an awfully tough sign away from his commitment to UCLA, but there's so much to like about his profile and it all begins with the bat. A switch-hitter with juice from both sides of the plate, Fien has a chance to continue switch-hitting at the next level. Behind the plate, Fien is loose and possesses good quickness for his 6-foot-3-inch frame. He's a technician and stays inside his lower body, using his strength to his advantage. If all goes well, Fien has a chance to develop into a player a bit like Cal Raleigh; a switch-hitting power-first catcher with a strong arm and the durability to handle the workload required behind the dish.

Velez continues to impress scouts each time they see him. He continues to add more and more weight and is creeping toward becoming a more physical presence in the box. For now, he's still a wiry middle infielder whose biggest tool is the leather and work on the dirt. That said, it's an athletic swing with a repeatable path and quiet actions. As Velez continues to add strength he'll move higher on boards. The foundational pieces are without question present for a guy who could go early in the 2024 Draft.

A two-way star, Gibson is expected to be a difficult sign away from his commitment to play wide receiver at Florida State University. That said, he's an explosive mover on the baseball field and scouts think he's got a real chance to play centerfield at the next level. Gibson is twitchy and quick in just about everything he does. He's flirted with double-plus run times, and his hands and wrists at the plate lead some to believe he could develop average game power as a fully-matured adult. Gibson is unrefined in his approach offensively, but flashes real impact and table-setting attributes on the field. He'll barely be 18 years old on draft day and should be considered some of the most intriguing clay in the class.

An Oregon commit, Christman is a strong two-way player with tools on both sides of the ball. Most scouts however prefer the player on the mound. Christman has been up to 93 with big carry through the zone; real bat-missing characteristics. Arm-speed really sells a mid-80s changeup and he'll spin over a slider that'll cap at 2600 rpm when Christman is at his best. It's a quiet, well-balanced operation on the mound lacking much extra effort. The arm speed really projects to add more velocity moving forward too. Potential for three average-or-better offerings here and a 60 FB.

Wech checks a lots of boxes on the mound. He features explosive arm speed and works up to 96 with a fastball that truly carries through the top rail. He'll rest 91-94 on most nights, touching spin rates reserved for some of the more dynamic arms at the next level. The slider is firm with sweep and a bit of tilt, generally thrown in the 82-84 bucket. He can grab well-above average spin rates on the breaker too. There's a bit of effort through release with Wech, though he has consistent feel for the strikezone and finishes well out in front. It's a loose arm and strong traits. There's certainly reliever risk here as Wech is yet to flash a truly consistent third pitch, alongside the effort, but teams that fall in love with the fastball shape could bite. He's an Oklahoma State commit. He'll be young for the class having turned 18 just a couple months before the draft.

You'd be hard-pressed to build a pitcher in a lab that appeals to more scouts than Gonzales. There's plenty of polish necessary to elevate this profile into the upper-tier of prospects, but the pure upside is enormous. At 6-foot-7, 195-pounds, Gonzales has a ton of growth ahead of him. Not only that, he'll be just 17 years old on draft day. For now, he's living in the low-90s with a curveball that lacks consistency, but does flash bite and shape. Throwing strikes with his frame will take time, but he's a very good athlete and has the upside of a starting pitcher with ease and durability.

While Cleveland struggled a bit in certain tournament and showcase settings, regionally he was an absolute menace on pitchers in the Florida region. He's a long, lean left-handed hitter with a ton of projection left in his lower half. He possesses average bat speed, but scouts and analysts see a whole lot more impact coming thanks to his well-above average rotational acceleration and connectedness at the dish. Cleveland can likely tack on 15 more pounds without seeing an ounce of drop-off in his athleticism. Already a plus runner with a solid-average throwing arm, the future is bright for Cleveland so long as the hit tool catches up with the raw ability.

It's a flatter bat path designed to pepper the gaps and make the defense work, and he does. Forbes simply looks the part on offense. Defensively, he's a shortstop primary who gets in work at third base. He's a physical defender who's solid in most facets of the game, including an above average arm.

Wentz is a barrel-chest, physically matured middle infielder with impressive bat speed and plenty of athleticism to handle the middle of the field right now. He has more raw power from the left side, though he can struggle to get to it at times with a loud load causing timing issues against more advanced competition. Because of this, he's had the ability to showcase big game power to the opposite field. Wentz's future might ultimately be on the mound. He's been up to 93 with ride through the zone. He also features a hard slider that touches 80. Wentz has legitimate two-way talent and time will tell which sticks. There's legitimate upside in both respects.

Baumler is a physical specimen with loud tools that really play on the offensive side of the ball. There's huge bat speed here coming from a heavy barrel. Baumler generates plenty of torque through his swing and has shown the maturity to pepper balls gap-to-gap in batting practice sessions; a rare trait for a slugger of his size and age. A primary first baseman, Baumler has played some in the outfield where his fringe-average speed and solid average throwing arm play well. He's shown strong footwork and has a chance to play a corner spot if he doesn't get too strong.
