School: Auburn Source: 4YR
Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 22.5
Ware made a name for himself as one of the top juco players in the country in the 2020 class with Pearl River (Miss.) JC thanks to his defensive ability, athleticism and power potential. He went undrafted and made it to campus at Auburn, where he initially struggled with the bat. That changed in 2023, when Ware turned in a career year with a .350/.438/.731 slash line and homered 24 times—good for fifth among all SEC hitters. A 6-foot-2, 211-pound lefthanded hitter, Ware has played shortstop, right field and third base, though he’ll need to improve to stick at the hot corner, where he spent most of his time in 2023. His 2023 production, power and top-end exit velocities could make him a priority senior sign and late day two or early day three draft pick.

An Auburn signee, Ware is one of the toolsier juco players in the country. His athleticism and ability to stay at shortstop in pro ball stand out, but questions about his bat may push him to Auburn. Ware has an excellent, physical 6-foot-2, 193-pound frame with body control and an above-average arm. Ware does need to speed up his actions and internal clock. His swing has some length, but he’s making more consistent solid contact now that he’s junked the more spread-out stance he used during high school. Ware has power potential that could allow him to play second or third base long-term.
