College third basemen have been popular picks early in the draft in recent years and one has been drafted in the first half of the first round for four straight seasons.

Whether that streak continues or not may come down to what position Vanderbilt’s Austin Martin is announced as. He was a unanimous selection as a first-team Preseason All-American by MLB scouting directors at third base, but he’s played more in center field than at third base this spring. That means he doesn’t appear on this list, which is limited to players who are seeing regular time at second base this spring, regardless of where they project as pros.

Arizona State’s Gage Workman tops this list and has first-round potential. Overall, however, it’s not a deep crop at the hot corner this spring.
