    While traditional power Miami has ranked among the top college teams all season, it doesn't have a premium draft pick. San Pedro, the team's leader on the field and in the clubhouse, should be the top pick, possibly in the third or fourth round. He's a pure catch-and-throw backstop, showing a plus arm and soft hands. He blocks everything in the dirt, so his pitchers trust him, and he handles the staff well. Offensively, San Pedro has gotten stronger and has raw power, but his approach is poor and his numbers slipped during the season to .310-7-42. He drifts and lunges in his swing and lacks offensive instincts. His glove could get him to the major leagues quickly, while his bat might limit him to a reserve role.
