2019 Draft Prospects

Alec Bohm and Jonathan India both were drafted in the top five picks a year ago, the first time multiple college third basemen were taken in the top five picks since 2005, when Nebraska’s Alex Gordon, Virginia’s Ryan Zimmerman and Miami’s Ryan Braun were drafted.

This year’s crop of third basemen is unlikely to repeat that feat, but Texas Tech’s Josh Jung could be a top-five pick. Following him are some toolsy players who could climb draft boards with big springs.

This list is based on draft status and was composed of players who are expected to play most of their games this season at third base. It does not include players who are expected to move to third base as professionals but are not playing there in college.
