Carlos Collazo and Peter Flaherty hop back on the Baseball America Draft Podcast to talk through one of the most interesting up-arrow prospects from the 2023 draft class: Rangers righthander Alejandro Rosario.
Who was Rosario as an amateur prospect and how has he changed after nearly a full season under his belt in pro ball? Is it stuff? Approach? Command? Mechanics? All of the above? And are there lessons to be learned from his excellent 2024 season?
From there, discussion pivots to the 2025 draft class to talk about some of the top college hitters of the group, which is made up of plenty of outfielders: Jace Laviolette (Texas A&M), Cam Cannarella (Clemson), Devin Taylor (Indiana), Brandon Compton (Arizona State) and Nick Dumesnil (California Baptist).
