Marsten was formerly a Stanford commit but flipped to Wake Forest in the fall of 2023. Not that it makes him any more signable in the draft, but it's next to impossible to poach players away from Palo Alto. He's finally back on the mound having missed close to 18 months recovering from Tommy John surgery and some other minor injuries, but the stuff has really come back and then some. Marsten is working up into the mid-90s and has tickled 100 mph in side sessions. He'll sits 96-98 in one- and two-inning outings. There's a slider and a curveball that really project going forward as well, the former comfortably grading out above average with sweeping shape. 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 and his overall durability in their evaluations. Marsten will be 19 on draft day, but the upside and present stuff here are unrivaled in a lot of ways in this class. It's a complicated draft profile, but arm talent that can be challenged by few. He's got a shot to be the first or second high school pitcher off the mound if he has a healthy spring leading up to July.

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 masher with an opposite field approach. The swing can get a bit long through the zone and there's steepness from the left side, a concern from scouts on how the overall hit tool will take to professional baseball. It's top of the class bat speed in showcase settings. Bell is also a patient hitter who draws his walks. It's above average power projection with at least 45-grade grade game power right now. Bell's physicality has really ticked up over the last calendar year with added strength and mass, particularly in his lower half. His profile is buoyed by strong defensive actions, above average arm strength and a mature IQ on the field that should help him on the dirt at the next level.

Hall, a Vanderbilt commit, is already one of the hardest throwers in the class with explosive athleticism that shows through on the mound. Hall's future will be pitching where his over-the-top delivery and hellish fastball figure to play immediately at the next level. Hall has already been up to 97 and lives 93-95 with significant carry through the zone and effectiveness at the top rail. He'll hold that velocity into the middle innings and his command for the fastball seemingly improves as he works a lather. He's also been working to mix in a low-90s sinker to get hitters off the barrel a bit at the bottom of the zone. His mid-80s slider has deep two-plane tilt and it projects a legitimate above average breaking ball, maybe better, at the next level. This is one of the better two-pitch mixes in the class. He's flashed an upper-80s changeup, though his feel for the pitch and downright willingness to throw it marks it mostly a below average option for the time being. Hall checks a lot of boxes in terms of future potential to start. Given his delivery, his strong frame, feel for finishing out in front of his body, his ability to hold velocity, and how loose his arm works, Hall has a chance to be the first high school arm off the board in July.

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.

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.

Shields re-classified from the 2025 class into 2024. He's a strong, polished lefty with a low-90s fastball, a deceptive, two-plane slider in the upper-70s, and a changeup that usually sits a tick or two above that. Shields is an impressive athlete with a two-way background; a distinguished hitter with a sweet left-handed swing. Everything about Shields is rhythmic and balanced. He has a calm about his game that some of his peers lack. Especially impressive considering he'll be a whole year younger than most of his contemporaries in the draft. Shields won't turn 18 years old until October 2024. He's one of the youngest players, if not the youngest, available to teams this summer. He's committed to play ball at Miami.

You'd be hard-pressed to find many guys more physical in stature than Montgomery in the 2024 prep class. At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, he's an imposing figure in the box with the accompanying power you'd expect from a kid his size. He's shown off his game power in tournament and showcase settings. There's no doubting how his strength plays. He handles velocity better than almost all of his peer with large samples facing premium pitching and driving the ball to all fields with authority -- hardly ever swinging through low-90s stuff. Montgomery has shown the ability to handle the bottom of the strike zone with conviction, and catching up to velocity at the top of the zone has taken strides forward in the last calendar year. Power is the calling card here, though the hit tool is budding with more and more barrels and longer at-bats showing up of late. Montgomery has done a nice job of simplifying and shortening his swing since last summer, a major reason for his ascent on draft boards. Montgomery is a catcher for now, though he may ultimately outgrow the position and end up at first base or in the outfield. He's got more than enough arm strength to handle the outfield. Most scouts like him out in the grass.

Gillen is a fascinating player. Early in counts he features a loose, upright stance with a ton of bat speed and present loft. Gillen can do a lot of damage out of this setup and he's shown juice with it to all-fields, though he's a bit more reserved in how he attacks pitching, instead opting for a high-contact approach over exercising his physicality in the box. With two strikes, Gillen gets into a squat with a wider setup. He still works to all fields, but his shrinking of the strike zone does allow him to fend off strikeouts against high velocity and spin. The entire offensive package is packed full of projection and the physical tools with the bat are beginning to show. He was one of the better performers in 2023 in terms of pure contact rate and chase rate, so scouts would like to see him lean into his natural strength more as the draft approaches. Gillen has smooth actions on the dirt, though scouts are split on where he eventually land on the infield. He's played a great deal of time at second base over the last 12 months in tournament settings recovering from minor ailments. He'll slide over to third base at times too. Gillen has a ton of natural gifts and physicality that he can tap into. When he does, his draft stock will jump.

Sanford is still growing and has a considerable amount of projection left in his frame. He's a slasher type of bat right now who's begun growing into a bit more thunder at the plate, though it's not a big part of his game. 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. It's quick hands, loose wrists and a quiet upper-body through the point of impact. The aforementioned added strength could unlock production and consistency not yet seen, sending his draft stock on a rocket ship. Sanford has all the makings of a future Comp A pick.

There may not be another arm in the 2024 class with better breaking ball upside than Navarre. The slider and curveball combo is truly dynamic with spin rates in excess of 3200 rpm at times. His slider is a true sweeper featuring north of 20" of sweep at peak. He throws that pitch in the 77-80. The curveball comes in at 74-75 with significant depth and horizontal action as well. Both pitches project plus, the slider could jump into the double-plus category if he learns to throw it a bit more firm. Navarre's fastball is fringy for the time being, resting 88-90 on most nights grabbing 92, though he's shown solid average command of the pitch and it does play up as he hides the ball exceptionally well. He naturally cuts his fastball, and generates moderate amounts of carry on the pitch as well. It's a unique pitch and has a shot to get into the above average category in time. Navarre has a tendency to rush down the mound at times when throwing the heater, something scouts expect should clean up over time. There's also low-80s changeup, though it comes in at 2100 rpm and doesn't currently possess consistent shape or execution. Navarre does things you cannot teach, and does so as a southpaw. If a team believes he'll eventually sit in the 93-94 bucket, he's got a good shot at becoming a Top 100 pick.

Farr has a startling amount of projection left in his frame with long levers and a high waist. His best baseball is certainly in front of him. Farr is hitter-ish now, lacking much game power, but that's to be expected from a prospect with his current frame. He's showcased considerable raw power in batting practice, and scouts think he could grow into 20 homer upside at the next level. He's got tremendous zone-coverage and fights off or puts in play strikes he pulls the trigger on. There's some chase in his game, but it's not at alarming levels by any means. A switch hitter, Farr has more power from the left side and a longer swing from the right side. Scouts love what they've seen on the dirt where he's a glider and with quiet actions and a legitimate chance to stick at shortstop. It's hard not to think of Peyton Graham as a comparison here.

It's not often you find an elite 80-grade runner who can also impact the baseball. Nori could be the fastest player in the class. At the plate, it's a quiet load and noise-less mechanics, stroking the ball gap-to-gap with some power coming too. Nori is still working on the routes in the field, but most project a centerfielder long-term with an average to above average arm as well. Nori has next to no projection left in his frame. He's already an incredibly strong, compact, physical player with lumberjack forearms and a barrel-chested, broad, powder-keg physique. One thing going against Nori is his age. He'll be 19 on draft day, and will actually turn 20 years old before the turn of the new year. Because of that, scouts will want to see more of a finished product than much of his peers. Still, the tools are evident and teams do like the unteachable traits. Nori will be an interesting case study in leverage in the draft. If he were to end up at Mississippi State, he'd be draft-eligible once again in 2026, but would turn 22 before the end of that season too. It places a great emphasis on his ability to carve out an immediate role in Starkville should he end up at school. He's one of the more fascinating profiles from a process and modeling standpoint in this class.

Curiel has solid bat-to-ball skills and works as good an at-bat as anyone in the class. It's polished and composed in the box, with a hit tool that has really flashed at times over the last two showcase and tournament cycles. 2023 was a bit of an underwhelming campaign for Curiel, and it took some of the shine off his prospect pedigree, but there are still handfuls of folks in the industry who believe he'll hit, and hit at a high level going forward. The immediate thing that stands out is the calm, balanced rhythm about his game. He's got a sweet left-handed swing and never looks anxious or tense at the plate. He's advanced beyond his years with the bat and the body projects to add a bit more impact as he matures. Curiel is a composed player with some standout tools. A plus runner with long strides, he could stay in centerfield moving forward. Scouts think he's mostly hit right now and would like to see the LSU commit get into a little more power leading up to the draft to project more impact. While most scouts don't expect Curiel to develop into a slugger, he could ultimately bring fringe-average game power to the field.

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.

Fralick is an ultra-powerful left-handed hitter with juice to all fields and proven impact in tournament and game settings. He's got a strong approach and works the barrel in different ways through the zone, handling pitches even when he's beat. It's quick hands and adjustability in his swing. Fralick gets the barrel out in front and extends well on fastballs. He takes hard turns through the zone and generates bat speed many of his peers cannot. The offensive tools here are strong. Defensively, scouts are split on whether his physical frame and 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.

Strosnider is a gamer 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. He's a twitchy athlete with strong hands and quick hips offensively; the bat really projects among his peers. 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.

Lewis is a do-it-all prospect with a slick glove, a quick bat and the legs to be valuable in all other parts of his game. He's worked to put on considerable muscle over the last 12 months and has added close to 20 pounds of strength following the showcase circuit last summer. Offensively, he's shown an aptness to cover all four quadrants with a line-drive swing and some pull-side power. The swing can get flat on pitches above the belt, though he feasts in the lefty-loop zone low-and-inside. Lewis deploys a high, deep hand-set but is short through the zone, occasionally pulling off the ball with a pull-side emphasis. 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.

Gatwood is built like a pro pitcher packed into a 6-foot-5 inch frame with good weight spread out through his lanky frame. Gatwood has a starter delivery with repeatable mechanics, though his arm-slot will change from time to time. Most often, Gatwood sits 92-94 with a sinking fastball that he's run up to 97 mph. His shorter slider has two-plane tilt and late bite. There's also a changeup in here with solid fading action, though his command for the pitch can be sporadic. Gatwood has top-of-the-scale arm talent and has the making of a potential top 100 pick in 2024 if his feel for the strike zone continues to mature.

He'll rest 92-94 with some effort out in front at release. He throws a lot of mid-80s changeup with depth off the fastball tunnel, and will mix in a mid-to-upper 70s curveball with get-me-over traits, spiking it in front of the plate for whiffs. Bergman throws enough strikes and projects a back-end of the rotation type of arm if his command improves. He could end up a dynamic reliever who flirts with triple digits if his starter traits don't advance.

Mayfield is a long, lanky lefty with deceptive angle and an ease and fluidity about his operation. He makes pitching look like an art form. The body, delivery and pitching mechanics are super projectable. He's been up to 94, missing bats with his heater, hiding the ball well. The slider is his best secondary and it's taken a jump in recent months now brushing the low 80s and sitting 76-78. He's refined feel for the pitch and it now receives above average projection from scouts. Mayfield works in the occasional changeup to righties, though it's inconsistent and its shape will vary. He's been one of the strongest performers on the tournament and showcase circuit. A strike-thrower who misses a ton of bats, Mayfield has an arsenal that really performs despite not yet possessing some of the octane of his peers. Considering the frame, handedness and production, Mayfield is the highest level follow thanks to his athleticism and fluidity on the mound. He will be 19.5 on draft day so leverage will not be on his side.

Snyder is a well-rounded player with offensive tools and the potential to stick up the middle on defense. At the plate, Snyder employs a rounded leg-kick that can get him in trouble with timing, but when he's locked in Snyder absolutely pummels the ball to all-fields, producing some truly impressive shots to his pull-side. He's a fantastic athlete and it shows in his load, swing and follow-through at the plate. On the dirt, Snyder again showcases big athleticism, getting low to the ground and receiving ground balls out in front. He's got exceptional hands with a quick transfer and an above average arm as well. Depending on where his physical development goes, Snyder could end up at second base or third base, but for now, the athlete and actions suggest a shortstop long-term.

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. Defensively, 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.

Lovanas is one of the more dynamic movers in the 2024 class with super-athletic actions on the bump. A Wake Forest commit, Levonas will grab 97 when he's hot, sitting 92-93 over multi-inning spots with some carry through the zone. The spin rates on his heater register far north of average. He's a guy that really understands pitch design too. There's a low-80s curveball here that stays on the heater tunnel late with sharp downer bite. It's a pitch that's registered north of 3100 rpm at times. Levonas keeps hitters off the barrel by mixing in an upper-80s cutter with short life. There's also a fringy changeup. 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, but it's an extremely quick arm with real feel for shaping the baseball. He's also only 175 pounds at this stage with plenty of projection in his frame. Despite the loud stuff, his performances in tournament and showcase settings have been scattered and inconsistent. There's very little doubt teams will see the frame, the athlete and the pitch mix and dream on what the future could look like. It'll come down to whether he can be paid away from his strong committment to Wake Forest. There's a little bit of Matt Brash here.

Shouse is a two-way player with upside on both sides of the ball, and scouts are split on what side of the ball his future lays. That said, of late, it seems the growing sentiment is favoring the Georgia Tech bluechip on the mound. 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. Scouts will need to see more refinement on the pure hit tool, but everything about the player flashes upside.

Burns is a big, tall, well-built righty with a physical build. It's a big, fast side-step release with a higher leg kick. His motion has caused issues with strike-throwing ability, but his polish and stuff have both taken considerable steps forward over the last 9 months. Burns is a real good mover with a loose arm and an athletic delivery. He rides the mound well and creates big extension out front. He's a natural supinator with a fastball that will get up into the mid-90s with natural cut. He also spins the hell out of it. He can get in trouble when he tries to over-throw his heater, but further maturity and pitchability will come. Burns has a put-away slider with sharp sweeping action as well as a bigger curveball that provides some depth to his arsenal. Burns moves well, has a physical frame and has real feel for spin. If he throws more strikes leading up to July, it's Top-100 pick tools.

Marin is one of of the more accomplished defenders in the class with fluidity and rhythm to his game on the dirt. He has smooth actions both with his feet and hands, as well as an athletic throwing arm. 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, but he's battled issues with chasing pitches out of the zone with far too much frequency. Becoming more selective at the plate will be a key in his development going forward.

Barberi has so many components to his game and profile that teams will like in the draft, it's hard to envision he doesn't get money thrown his way. It's an extremely projectable frame with broad shoulders and a high waist with good weight in his lower half. The fastball has been up to 95 with some arm-side run and carry. Slider has late sweeping action and some late depth and it performs exceptionally well. Barberi does have a tendency to lower his arm-slot on the breaking ball at times, something he'll need to iron out at the next level. He also has a changeup that has performed well when it's on, though he's been more reluctant to throw that pitch in tournaments. There's a bit of effort at release, but it's not prohibitive or so egregious that injury risk comes to mind. In fact, as he ages it may polish out naturally. Barberi will be just 17 years old on draft day and will scream up boards run by models. He's expected to be a tough sign away from Florida.

Quigley is certainly one of the more physically imposing players in the box. It's a long, strong frame with serious bat speed. Staying consistent with his timing triggers has been a battle for Quigley over the last 12 months, though some of that can be attributed to the mammoth growth spurt he's seen of late. Quigley is short to the ball and presents organic loft through the zone. Some scouts see the potential for plus game power as he matures into the game. Quigley has tinkered with his swing, varying between a more upright, athletic stance and a more leveraged back-heel focus, the former generally like the more comfortable setup. The latter has led to better results in the approach and swing-decision department. Quigley is a right field prospect with a solid average arm and fringy speed. He features long strides, though he's unlikely to be a threat stealing bases. The short-form here is scouts really like the bat and the physically imposing frame. The offensive upside is tantalizing.

DeTienne can be scattered in his control and command at times as he'll pull his head off the target through release, but he's been up to 96 with carry, and will rest 92-94 over multiple innings, his command seemingly improving as he works a lather. His low-80s breaker has promise with big, late vertical bite, tunneling well off the heater, though commanding the pitch is still a work in progress. This is a power arm with high-octane upside who could eventually flirt with triple digits. He's a name to watch as he adds strength and polish to his operation. There's something of a Jordan Romano comparison here.

Romeo is an interesting prospect in that he's from Canada and has a complicated eligibility status. He's eligible for the 2024 MLB Draft, but college-eligible in 2025. It's as buttery an operation as you'll find in the high school class with low effort, a short, quick, electric arm action and a fastball already up to 96. He's loose, the arm works easy, and it's all supplemented by premium confidence and pitch-ability on the bump. Romeo pounds the strike zone with 2-seam fastball, though he'll mix in a more traditional four-seamer that he likes to exclusively deploy at the top rail. Both pitches live in the 91-93 bucket over longer outings, holding velocity well. Romeo bullies hitters, comfortably working inside, sawing off bats. He's a power arm, though not in the traditional strikeout sense. His best secondary is a deeper low-80s slider with solid average spin rates and considerable sweep out of the zone. It features strong tunneling attributes off the fastball, especially when commanded off the outer rail when Romeo is landing his 2-seamer on the inside corner to righties. Commanding the breaking ball has been an emphasis over the last twelve months, and it's shown considerable signs of improvement. He'll mix in the occasional spiked changeup against lefty bats, but is primarily a two-pitch artist for the time being. Everything about Romeo is clean on the bump. He projects to work into the mid-90s as he matures, and has obvious starter traits. Romeo will be 18.5 years old on draft day and represents one of the safer bets to start at the next level in this class.

Modugno is a big, physical third baseman with a ton of bat speed and very present over-the-fence power to all-fields. He's more physically advanced than just about all of his peers, punishing underdeveloped arms with authority over the past few seasons on the tournament circuit. Modugno has a strong throwing arm too, and the hands to suggest a future at third base could be possible. Already reasonably maxed in terms of strength, Modugno will need to continue to stay athletic and explosive on the field if his baseball tools are to keep up with the competition. Some scouts prefer the profile on the mound where he's been up to 97 with a power breaking ball and fringy command. Still, it's some of the most imposing sheer power you can find in the 2024 class on both sides of the ball.

Another massive pitching prospect, Bateman has now stuff and the buttery operation to suggest more is to come. There are times when he loses his release point with the fastball, but that should iron itself out over time. Bateman touches 96 now, sitting in the low 90s with a big, banger breaking ball that comes off the heater late featuring depth. Bateman gets plenty of whiffs on curveballs in the dirt. Bateman will need to throw more strikes as he works into the next level of baseball, and getting more production from his fastball will be important too. Still, it's a workhorse body with a good secondary and that can be awfully hard to find from the left side. He'll need to watch his physique as he matures, but the stuff right now is loud. He's a bulldog on the bump with an imposing attitude and an innings-eater demeanor.

Broughton is a twitchy, stretchy southpaw with big athletic traits and physical upside coming. He's got a strong core and sturdy strength in his legs. It's a frame that looks ready for long innings. He generates tremendous hip-shoulder separation, and could add more velocity as he develops in a more professional setting. Already up to 94 with huge carry through the zone, Broughton has pitch metrics that teams seek in the draft. It's a high-spin arsenal with slurvy curveball featuring huge depth when it's right; generally 78-80. He'll use it to steal strikes and/or bury at the back foot of right-handed hitters to put them away. The changeup has made strides over the last nine months and now features considerable arm-side fading action when he gets around on it. Continued emphasis on commanding that pitch in games and selling the arm speed on it are continued points of his development. Broughton can do things many other arms simply cannot, and from the left side no less. Skeptics of the profile point to an arm action that can be a touch late at times, though he's shown no cause for durability concern. He's an interesting metric day-two sleeper who could surge up into the first few rounds of the draft if his velocity and control improve as July approaches.

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 currently 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.

Offensively there's some swing and miss concerns, but Hargett has impact in the barrel that he's shown live in competition. The pure tools are here for a day one selection in 2024, he'll just need to polish up the approach, footwork and little areas of his game to see his profile jump into that next tier.

Yeager is a strapping right-handed pitcher with broad, sloping shoulder, a high waist and long levers. It's a fastball that's already grabbing 96 mph. 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 causing 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.

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.

Bell is a very real two-way prospect with hitterish tendencies in the box and pitchability on the bump. He'll live 91-93 and will mix in a changeup, a curveball and a tough cutter/slider. Bell is lauded for his ability to pound the zone, mix things up and keep hitters off their feet. Likely an outfielder with the bat, Bell has a big arm with athleticism to handle balls in the gaps. He's a fringy runner, but has the frame and athleticism to suggest he could grow into a bit more straight-line speed. In the box, it's a sweet, smooth stroke that plays to all-fields, blistering line drives into gaps.

Sandford certainly looks the part of a future ace for the Florida Gators. The 6-foot-6-inch righty comes action-packed with a 96 mph fastball, immense extension down the mound and elite fastball shape featuring tons of carry through the zone. His best secondary is a sweeping slider with above average spin in the low-80s, though it plays up at this stage thanks to Sandford's feel for commanding the pitch away from righties. There's also a project-changeup in his arsenal, though it's a ways away from being at the level of his top-two offerings. There's a great deal of effort and head whack in Sandford's delivery at the time of publish, something he'll need to iron out if scouts are to trust he can hold up and survive the rigors of pitching in a rotation.

Krenzel is an intriguing righty to follow through this draft as he's got one of the looser, fuller operations on the mound that presents natural deception and funk to hitters. It's a longer arm action, though he is on time in most cases and throws strikes. The fastball generally sits in the low-90s with arm-side run and some sink. He'll mix in an upper-70s slider with sweeping action, as well as a much fringier changeup that falls hard to the plate when he gets around it. There's some polish to be had here, but the end product could be awfully unique.

Luna simply looks the part of a future big leaguer. He's got good size, broad shoulders and has athleticism melted about his entire profile. He's got quick feet on the dirt, is a long-strider and moves well laterally rounding through the baseball. He features a higher slot across the diamond and his throws possess good carry, above average arm strength as a whole. Luna has one of the sweeter swings from the right side in the 2024 class. He's direct to the ball with a consistent attack angle, generating backspin on ringing extra-base hits peppered into both gaps. He's shown over-the-fence power with firm hands and strong wrists through the hitting zone. Luna is quick into the zone and long through it, a good trait in projecting future polished hitters. He is an average runner that could gain half a tick in the foot speed department with proper training and physical development. He's got 10 to 15 good pounds ahead of him and represents one of the more enticing middle infield prospects coming out of the south in 2024. There's something of a Marcus Semien comp here.

His sloping shoulders and narrow core suggests he'll always be a leaner cut, but there's 15 good pounds still to come in his lower half. The lanky lefty is up to 95 and will sit 90-92 over starts with sinking action. The control and command of the fastball have improved this year. There's an upper-70s slider with two planes, more depth than sweep. It's not yet an out pitch, but it projects. There's a lot of components here to like, including his two-way ability showcasing some athleticism with the bat and in the outfield. Brown will turn 18 just a few months before the draft.

A decorated two-sport star, Clavon is a firecracker on the diamond with wicked hands and a really strong throwing arm. He's a plus runner who has snagged double-plus run times underway. 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.

Most believe his future is on the offensive end where he has impressive bat speed, especially for his size, as well as extremely twitchy, athletic actions. There's some actions to clean up in his overall game, including a hand hitch and barrel tipping in his load, but Torres is largely on-time against velocity and takes a fairly direct path to the ball. Torres is mostly a gap-to-gap hitter right now with a line drive approach. He uses his speed and quick step out of the box to his advantage. Most expect he'll grow into some in-game power. A re-class from the 2025 class, Torres will be reasonably young for this draft, just 18.5 on draft day.

de los Santos re-classified from the 2025 class into 2024 and will be more age-appropriate for his draft because of it. de los Santos turn 18 just a month prior to the draft. A big, barrel-chested, physical specimen, de los Santos possesses physical tools most of his peers do not. The selling traits here are unquestionably at the plate. It's comfortably 70-grade raw power with huge barrel speed. de los Santos leverages his backside very well in the box and possesses the innate ability to backspin the baseball. There's a good bit of chase in de los Santos' game at present, and his swing can get a little long and loopy on pitches outside of the black. Take a more consistent approach and operation into the box will be an important checkpoint in his developing. Still, you'd be hard-pressed to find many players in this class with the natural talent he has. An average runner who is quicker underway than he is out of the box, de los Santos figures to be able to cover the ground necessary in the field to avoid becoming a DH. He's primarily handled right field in tournament settings, though his average arm strength may ultimately profile best in left field. There's something of a Marcell Ozuna comparison here.

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 occasion 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.

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.

Hotchkiss is a physically imposing right-handed outfielder out of the Pacific Northwest who's seen his stock surge 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.

Offensively, there's some swing-and-miss in Ryan's game, but he's got impact bat speed and plays gap-to-gap with ferocious intent. It's above average raw power from a tight, compact turn and lightning hands. Ryan can get pull-happy against lesser competition, but has shown well in showcase and tournament settings against more advanced arms. This is a high level player with upper-tier tools and a real shot to stick at one of the most demanding positions on the field. He's got Top-2 round upside.

Kiel II has been seen a lot in 2022 and 2023 by evaluators. The twitchy middle infielder checks a lot of the boxes for a modern day leadoff hitter. He possesses plenty of bat speed with good attack angles from both sides of the plate, and is a plus runner that can terrorize defenses on the basepaths. Kiel has shown a grand willingness to expand the zone at times, posting chase rates north of his peers. Finding more polish and patience at the plate will be key as he begins to step into the box against more formidable arsenals. That said, he does a nice job of battling and fouling off pitches outside of the zone, so the pure bat-to-ball and athleticism in the box makes up for some over-anxious tendencies. The level of strength Kiel can add to his lean frame will determine whether or not he can stick at shortstop, but the bloodlines (son of former NFL cornerback Terrence Kiel) and offensive tools he's displayed at showcase events are big eye catchers.

Haight is an impressive two-way player out of the Evergreen State who boasts some loud tools on both sides of the ball. Most seem to like his upside on the mound where his fastball is already touching 94 mph with huge carry through the zone when he gets through it. Haight is more routinely 90-91 and will generate some arm-side run as he tires. It's a heater with well-above average spin rates and projects nicely going forward. Haight throws an upper-70s slider with depth and horizontal tilt, but it's his mid-80s changeup that most believe to be his best secondary. It features firmness and depth with a bit of fading action. Haight has shown a willingness to throw it to both righty and lefty bats. Offensively, Haight shows twitch and budding bat speed. He's got rhythmic waggle in his setup and is consistently on-time for the fastball. He'll shorten up with two strikes and eliminate the moving parts, instead electing to go with virtually no stride and a greater emphasis to use the opposite field. There's some spine tilt in his address that has some scouts questioning whether he'll be able to consistently get to velocity up in the zone, but to this point he's shown no warts in that regard. Ultimately, it's a simple swing with consistent triggers and Haight stays connected creating separation in the box. He's shown real ability with the barrel. Haight has a lengthy frame, a high waist and a really quick arm. His athleticism is apparent throughout his entire game. Haight is a below-average runner who is routinely 4.5 to 4.7-seconds from home to first. If he is to play the field, he likely fits best at third base.

He's got a loose arm, a bit long in the back, with an explosive release and relative ease. Strickland is still learning to engage his lower half. The biggest critique from scouts here is what some interpret to be below-average command. Strickland has a tendency to fall behind in counts. If the two-pitch arsenal can buoy to even fringy command, he's got day one upside. You'd be hard-pressed to find easier stuff in the class than here.

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.

Despite his unassuming size, Fitz-Gerald is one of the more complete hitters in the country with tools scattered about the diamond. There's impact to the pull-side and an average run tool with high-level instincts here that allow the NC State commit to take the extra base when afforded the opportunity. Fitz-Gerald has some swing and miss in his game, and that'll need to be cleaned up as he moves into the next level of his baseball career, but there's a chance for some power, some speed, and a solid glove here. He projects at both second base or shortstop moving forward.

Whitney is a tremendous mover with a high leg kick through his wind up, a clean hand break and ultra-repeatable operation considering his age. He's a long, tall righty with projection remaining in his upper-half and an already sturdy, well-built lower half. He's got broad, squared-off shoulders and a high waist; two signs of a guy who figures to continue to add velocity as he matures. He extends well down the bump and lands consistently out in front with above-average extension and lower-half drive. He uses his legs quite well and should jump into the mid-90s in due time. Whitney has special fastball. Not only is it deceptive, his over-the-top delivery produces considerable carry through the zone, aided by above-average spin rates, up to 94 mph. It's a menacing pitch on the top rail, and Whitney commands it well. His breaking ball is a deep, slurvy slider thrown in the upper-70s, grabbing some 8-handles here and there, also featuring above-average spin. There's also a changeup in the same velocity bucket, though it lags behind his two primary weapons both in execution and conviction for now. The operation is short, compact, and quick with loose actions working downhill with authority. Whitney was a primary shortstop early in his high school career and has grown into a legitimate pitching prospect. As he continues to grown and develop his craft, the stuff could really take off. He is an Oregon State commit.

Sowers has simply been a high-level performer with gap-to-gap damage and some power projection coming from his twitchy, loose frame. He's a mature hitter with a strong, quiet lower half and consistent triggers in his swing. He's likely a second baseman at the next level.

Tague Davis may have more raw power than anyone in the class. It's incredible bat speed from the left side, all while refusing the wear batting gloves or even tape his bats. He quite literally approaches his offensive game like a lumberjack. Davis has shown brutish tendencies too with ringing gap shots at tournaments over the past 12 months. The power is the calling card here. There's certainly some swing and miss in the profile, and he'll need to clean that up if his two-way upside is to eventually become realized. Some like Davis on the mound where his three-pitch mix and budding velocity go well with his physical frame that projects to add more pure stuff. Still, it's hard to look away from potential double-plus power.

Sanders is an athletic lefty with big stuff and a ton of projection. The fastball floats up into the low-90s with ride through the zone and deception coming out of a long arm action. That arm action has some scouts concerned about long-term strike-throwing ability, but virtually nobody doubts that stuff and what it could become. Sanders offers up a projectable breaking ball with significant depth and tunnel as well. He has the makings of a power lefty.

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.

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Oregon State

Halstead is a high-energy player whose offensive ceiling tops that of many of his in-state peers. The bat speed and raw power is big, and he's showcased it against good arms. Halstead is an anxious, antsy hitter with a lot of waggle and rhythm in his setup. It's a bit old school in that regard. He does however consistently put himself in a good hitting position when the ball is released. Halstead has wiry strength though he's beginning to grower into thicker "man muscle" and should eventually showcase plus raw power. Defensively it's average arm strength and solid average hands with a transfer that has ticked in the right direction year-over-year. He's got a chance to catch at the next level, though his athleticism and feel for the game could play well at third base or in the outfield too. Halstead will be quite young for the 2024 draft turning 18 in April. That'll lend well for model teams who appreciate youth and developmental upside.

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 length and stretch in his swing, but he gets on plane with consistency and can take the ball to all fields. 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.

COLLEGE COMMITMENT: Texas A&M

Barnhard saw a considerable velocity jump while training during this past winter and now tickles triple digits with his fastball. Barnhard works exclusively out of the stretch and generally is used out of the bullpen. He's a fastball-slider guy who posts above average spin rates on both pitches. The slider is generally 82-84 with two-plane tilt, inconsistent in shape, sometimes on the shorter end. At its best, Barnhard will sweep his slider and generate whiffs from right-handed hitters. The arm talent here is considerable, though he's yet to showcase velocity that has held over several innings and generally lacks a third pitch. He's expected to be a difficult sign away from Texas A&M, but will have plenty of interest on day two depending on what his signing bonus ask will be. Barnhard will be 18.5 years old on draft day.

Jefferies comes dripping with physical tools and projection with a real feel for hitting from both sides of the plate. While he may ultimately be a left fielder due to the throwing arm, Harris' feel for the barrel, his whippy swing and offensive leverage has evaluators believing he could eventually transform into an impact stick. There's a lot of physical growth ahead of this kid.

McPherson saw his stuff explode in the summer of 2023, grabbing 94 with huge sinking life; a knuckle-breaker for right-handed bats. There's more velocity coming too in his ultra-projectable frame. 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. This is a high-level operation with starter traits and more than enough athleticism and repeatability to project into a rotation moving forward.

Sweum is a long lefty with a good pitchers frame, thickness in his core and lower half and an arsenal currently capable of puttings hitters away. He's been up to 93 and sits 90-92 with a fastball that carries through the zone, commanded well on different vertical planes. Sweum throws two breaking balls, a low-80s slider and a mid-70s curveball, both of which feature distinct shape, each showcasing lateral tilt. He'll pitch front door and backdoor, though his breaking balls really tie up left-handed hitters sweeping into the opposing box. Sweum hides the ball considerably well and is a tough look on the opposition inducing a ton of late, bad hacks. He's not the most explosive mover, but it's a polished profile and one that should be capable of putting hitters away at the next level. Scouts would like to see the velocity and/or arm speed take a jump as July approaches. If he ends up at Gonzaga, Sweum has a chance to develop into a Top-100 pick for 2027.

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.

Victorian has a buttery operation with clear athleticism, body control and an attacking mentality. The fastball can get up to 95, and it's a good one with swing and miss traits featuring spin rates well into the "plus" bucket. His breaking ball is just as impressive, a two-plane slurve that misses a ton of bats, generally thrown in the low-80s with two-plane tilt. He's shown real feel for executing the pitch as well. Victorian has some of the best upside in the class with definitive starting pitcher qualities.

Charles is an ultra-physical shortstop who not only is a switch-hitter, but has shown the ability to switch-throw as well... not that anyone expects that to be a piece of his game moving forward. Charles has significant thunder in his bat and could shift over to third base or into the outfield if his frame keeps adding weight. He's an LSU commit.

Crafton has prototype size and long levers that point to power projection from the left side of the plate. It's a sweet left-handed stroke with impact into the opposite-field gap. He's shown it in games already too. He's already a reasonably physical athlete who could eventually grow off of the shortstop position, but his profile plays at third base, as do his actions and hands on the dirt. Crafton is a decorated quarterback too.

Neely has some pretty gross stuff when he's on. He's up to 95 and will sit 91-92 in longer outings with the ability to carry the ball through the top rail or run it off the arm-side black. He features a low-80s slider with shorter break and pairs it with a bigger mid-70s curveball featuring big downer break. Big projection play here with plenty more velocity on the way.

Larson has seen a growth spurt of late. His physical tools have really ticked up, adding on 30 pounds of strength and seeing his athleticism take off. Larson has a really quick arm, especially for a southpaw, and could work up into the upper-90s by the time he's drafted. For now, he's up to 96 with a lot of life. The curveball is a hammer with above average spin, reasonably unhittable at this stage when commanded in or near the zone. Larson also throws a more deceptive changeup against righties. There's some effort here to speak of, so continuing to polish his mechanics and repeatability will be important if Larson is to start long-term. The arm action is a bit long and late in the back, but it allows Larson to hide the ball well. This is a kid who could work his way into a high-leverage relief role at the next level if his strike-throwing ability and durability fall short of long-inning expectations.

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.

Dunn epitomizes the "spark plug" archetype. He plays hard for every out, juices up his teammates with his words and actions in the dugout, and he's constantly on the barrel putting the game in motion. He repeats his swing really well and is always on time for the fastball showing some sneaky power to all fields buoyed by above average rotational acceleration through the zone and solid average bat speed. He's got very real hitter-ish tendencies and represents some of the best pure polish in the class. He doesn't project to impact the game a whole bunch at the next level with slugging, though he's a prototype leadoff hitter who will work hard and get the most out of his toolset. He could flirt with 10-14 homers per year if provided the plate appearances to get there. Dunn is a fringy runner with a solid average arm; his profile likely best set for left field at the next level. He's a bit of a hidden gem in Wisconsin as a guy who doesn't generate highlight reel footage, but he's as solid as they come and could represent a steal in this class if someone buys him off his Missouri State commit.

O'Connell is a talented left-handed projection arm with a calm demeanor, a quiet operation and he fills up the strike zone. O'Connell has been up to 92 with a firm fastball that he'll throw to all four quadrants. At his best, he'll generate carry at the top of the zone and work some arm-side run away from right-handed hitters. It's a lower, deceptive slot, so the velocity plays up at this level of competition. There's more in the tank in this lanky frame, though he'll probably peak into the mid-90s. He lands a variable slider that he'll add and subtract depth from depending on the handedness and the situation. There's also a nascent changeup that scouts like the upside of strictly due to O'Connell's pronated release. There's at least average upside on the pitch. There's some inversion in the delivery, and that will give some scouts pause, but O'Connell's low-effort, high-volume track record may dissuade those concerns. He's expected to be a difficult sign away from his Vanderbilt commitment.

Chatterton is a physical-frame righty with a quick arm who projects to throw pretty hard in due time. Already grabbing 96 with life on the top rail, Chatterton dazzled at times during the summer showcase circuit and tournament circuit. Chatterton is a big scap load guy who really rocks and rotates in the back, exploding through release. He loves to throw a bugs bunny changeup that lives off his fastball, though he has a tendency to broadcast and tell the pitch at times. Still, finding prep arms with feel for separation and killing spin can be rare. Chatterton has a slider and curveball, though both lack feel and firmness at present, though there is distinct shape on the former. This is a talented arm who does look a bit like a reliever at present, but the pure stuff projects huge.

Souza is a massively intriguing player with a long, lean frame. He's athletic, toolsy, and twitchy at the plate with quick hips and burgeoning strength. Tons of projection left in his frame. Souza gets good breaks on the ball in centerfield and has a shot to stay at the position if he doesn't lose a step. Already an above average runner, Souza could add strength and get a bit faster too. There's plenty of traits to like in this profile and he has a shot to track up boards approaching July.

As predictable 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 with inconsistent shape in tournament settings. A low-80s changeup is probably presently his best secondary with some late tail and depth, thrown with confidence. 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.

He'll grab 95, but sits 92-93 over multi-inning showings with spin rates that'll creep into the above-average range. His curveball is a deep bender with some late bite and average spin rates.

Bott is one of the most impressive arms to come out of the Four Corners in 2024. The UCLA commit features a high-spin arsenal including a fastball that's touched 93, up to 2500 rpm at peak. It's a reasonably generic fastball in terms of shape, but there's deception in his release that allows the pitch to play up a tick. Bott throws an upper-70s slurve with massive spin rates approach 3000 rpm as well. It's still got some hump to it at times, but when finished it flashes above average with bite. Bott has a clean operation with a strong block out front and starter traits. He's got projection left in his 6-foot-2-inch frame and should continue to tick up in the velocity department in the coming months. It's one of the more polished arms in the class.

Anderson has the look of a 5-star bluechip quarterback with a tall, lean, projectable frame, a high waist and long, athletic levers. He's one of the most purely talented catchers in the 2024 class with a 70-grade arm behind the plate and explosion out of the crouch. His blocking and framing fundamentals are still coming along, but he's talented enough to stay behind the plate at the next level, especially as the game moves away from the conventional traits of a catcher. Offensively, he's a big, strong, left-handed hitting power hitter with a sweet swing and tons of impact at the point of contact. French will get over-anxious at the plate at times, and will chase breaking balls in the dirt, but when he gets ahead in the count and leans on a pitch in the zone, he's produced some gaudy results. Given the value on defense, and the upside at the plate, French has a shot at going on day two as a premium power-power high school catcher. He is committed to Duke.

Schwartz is a big, physical catcher with an imposing, sturdy frame and loud tools scattered throughout his scouting report. It's comfortably above average raw power and most scouts think he'll eventually live in the "plus" raw power bucket. He's getting to a lot of it in games already as is evidenced by his .819 slugging percentage during the summer of 2023. Behind the plate, his pop times are strong. They're buoyed by an above average throwing arm with his footwork and technique requiring some polish into the next level. Scouts are split on whether he's a catcher long-term, primarily due to his overall size, but his other tools should help take the pressure off his ability to catch. Schwartz is an explosive, violent athlete who posts average run times and features a very strong first step out of the box. He has a plus throwing arm in the outfield and some in the eval industry would like to see him take more reps at third base. Offensively, Schwartz has a high hand setup with jittery, anxious hands a la Jose Altuve. He's mostly open and upright pre-load, sinking into his hips as the ball approaches. Those dramatic changes in plate may have an adverse effect on his ability to time his triggers consistently, as well as cover velocity at the top of the zone or spin under his knees. Adjustability is a concern in the box. When he's on-time, the pull-side power and back-side leverage can be jaw-dropping. There's been a fair amount of strikeouts in his game on the tournament circuit, so quieting things down and letting his physical tools do more of the talking in his swing will be a developmental emphasis at the next level, wherever that might be. Schwartz will be 19.5 on draft day, so models will knock him down a peg, though if he makes it to Texas, he's precisely the type of player who turns himself into a first rounder in 2026.

Evasco is an extremely long, broad first base and/or outfield prospect with tools generally reserved for players smaller in stature. A solid average runner with an impressive first step on the bases and in the field, scouts give Evasco a shot to play left field at the next level so long as he keeps his athleticism. It's fringy arm strength. Evasco gets high marks for his athletic traits, but if teams buy, it'll be for the bat. Evasco makes tight, compact turns on the baseball, a trait that is seldom seen from players his size. He hasn't yet fully realized his raw power, and is mostly an average in the game power department presently. Evasco does a nice job battling at the plate and keeps his strikeouts low, though he's in no hurry to draw many walks either. He leverages his backside well, inducing impact and backspin into the baseball. He'll likely have to take more advantage of his size and levers and create a big more stretch in his load if he's to develop into what some believe could eventually become plus game power. Evasco checks a lot of boxes and is a bit of a unicorn when it comes to tools, size and projection. He's well ahead of most players that show up on the showcase and tournament scene of his size and stature. A very, very interesting player.

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.

Kahalekai opened the eyes of scouts at Area Code Games 2023 in San Diego, entering the event a reasonably unknown entity. A massively imposing, long right-hander, Kahalekai screams projection. His 6-foot-8-inch frame will rush it up to 93, but generally sits 90-91 over multiple innings. He's flashed an upper-70s slider with depth, though it's an inconsistent offering. Considering his size, there are issues with consistency in a release point, as well as repeating his operation, especially early in outings. There are some operational cues, such as consistency in his hand break, that should be low-hanging fruit in improving his profile. Scouts love the athlete here as he showcases impressive hinge, extension and hip separation. Kahalekai could end up throwing very hard in due time.

Surowiec is an excellent two-way prospect with chops on the dirt, in the box, and on the mound. It's big strength and physicality with considerable rotational force at the plate. His power really plays. On the dirt he shows athleticism and a strong arm, capable of handling the throws and demands of the hot corner. He's also an average runner with a strong first step. On the mound, he gets into his legs and generates a low-release. His fastball is a low-to-mid 90s weapon with carry through the zone and an emphasis on the top rail. He's flashed an upper-70s curveball that's produced whiffs as well. Defining his future role will be the job for scouts, but he could go in either direction. He'll likely be used both ways if he ends up at Ole Miss.
