Righthanded Pitchers

Andrew Devine, RHP, Austin Peay — The 2024 Austin Peay team will be remembered for its relentless offense, but Devine had a strong season on the mound for the program and posted a 2.95 ERA over 58 innings and 10 starts with a 25.8% strikeout rate and 7.3% walk rate. The 5-foot-9, 160-pound righthander spent four years with Texas Tech where he mostly pitched out of the bullpen but threw solid strikes and showed a four-pitch mix this spring. He throws his fastball in the 90-94 mph range with a low release height and flat approach angle, and also mixes in a slider around 80 mph, a curveball in the low 70s and a changeup in the mid 80s. 

Andrew Morones, RHP, CS Fullerton — Morones is a 6-foot, 190-pound righthander who just finished his junior season with Cal State Fullerton but is old for his class and will already be 23 on draft day. He posted a 5.18 ERA over 33 innings this spring, with a 30.2% strikeout rate and 10.1% walk rate, but also pitched in the MLB Draft League after the season and managed a 17:2 strikeout-to-walk ratio in his first 12 innings. Morones has unique release traits that could allow his 90-95 mph fastball play up thanks to its flat approach angle. The pitch had above-average miss rates this spring. He also throws a cutter in the upper 80s, a curveball in the upper 70s and an occasional slider in the low 80s. 

Brandon Decker, RHP, Oakland — Decker pitched one season with NAIA Concordia before transferring to Oakland where he spent the next three seasons of his college career. A 6-foot-3, 187-pound righthander, Decker pitched out of the bullpen during his first two seasons with Oakland but in 2024 split time as a reliever and starter. He posted a 5.44 ERA this spring over 102.2 innings including 13 starts, with a 23.2% strikeout rate and 7.6% walk rate. Decker throws from a lower arm slot and averages 90-91 with a fastball that touches 95, though many teams will be intrigued by the flat vertical approach angle he gets on the pitch. His go-to secondary is a mid-80s slider that occasionally has more of a cutter look, and he’ll also occasionally mix in a mid-70s curveball and low-80s changeup. 

Brendan Girton, RHP, Oklahoma — Girton pitched mostly in a reliever role for Texas Tech for three seasons before transferring to Oklahoma for the 2024 season where he started 10 games and pitched out of the bullpen in six other appearances. A 6-foot, 227-pound righthander, Girton posted a 7.32 ERA over 35.2 innings with a 24.7% strikeout rate and 16.3% walk rate. While Girton has below-average control that has limited him, his pure stuff is loud starting with a fastball that averaged 94 mph and touches 97-98 with a flat approach angle that could help it play up at the top of the zone. His primary secondary is a hard mid-80s slider with short two-plane biting action that could be a solid pitch if he’s able to put it over the plate a bit more frequently. Girton has thrown a handful of firm upper-80s changeups but rarely used the pitch this spring.

Brett Garcia, RHP, Abilene Christian — Garcia has flashed strikeout stuff for several years after pitching with UC Irvine, Baylor and Abilene Christian in his college career. This spring, he posted a 3.76 ERA over 38.1 innings with a 38.7% strikeout rate and 9.5% walk rate. The 6-foot-2, 240-pound righthander primarily works off a two-pitch mix that includes a low 90s fastball that touches 95 and a hammer breaking ball around 80 mph with 12-to-6 shape and tons of depth that he used as his primary pitch this spring. Garcia will flash a slider that’s a bit harder with more horizontal movement at times, but only sparingly. 

Brooks Caple, RHP, Lamar — Caple is a 6-foot-6, 230-pound righthander who pitched as a reliever for two seasons with Stephen F. Austin before transferring to Lamar where he has been a starter in the 2023 and 2024 seasons. This spring Caple posted a 2.49 ERA over 97.2 innings and 16 starts with a 26% strikeout rate and 7.6% walk rate. He sits in the 89-91 mph range with a fastball that has touched as high as 97 with above-average riding life and has a solid mix of secondaries that includes a mid-80s slider, low-80s changeup, cutter and curveball. 

Cade Vernon, RHP, Murray State — Vernon is a 6-foot-2, 210-pound righthander who pitched as a split starter and reliever during his first two seasons with Murray State, but was a full-time starter in 2023 and 2024. This spring he posted a 4.67 ERA over 90.2 innings and 15 starts with a 20.8% strikeout rate and 4.4% walk rate. He used a low-80s slider as his primary pitch, which he threw about 50% of the time this spring, and backed it with a low-90s fastball that touches 95 but has below-average life and a mid-70s curveball that is slow but features impressive top-down finish. Vernon occasionally mixed in a mid-80s changeup but used the pitch sparingly.

Cameron Bush, RHP, Texas Tech — Bush is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound righthander who pitched as both a starter and reliever in his five seasons with Texas State. He had a career-best season this spring when he posted a 3.57 ERA over 45.1 innings, including six starts, with a 13.8% strikeout rate and 3.1% walk rate. Bush found success this spring despite a career-worst strikeout rate by putting the ball on the ground often and throwing plenty of strikes with his four-pitch mix. He sits in the low 90s with a fastball that is reliant on command more than shape or power, and backs the pitch with a mid-80s slider/cutter and upper-70s curveball. Nothing Bush throws is a real swing-and-miss weapon at the moment, though his curve has solid depth and high spin rates. 

Charlie Beilenson, RHP, Duke — Beilenson pitched three seasons as a reliever for Brown before transferring to Duke for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. A 6-foot, 215-pound righthander, Beilenson posted a 2.01 ERA over 62.2 innings this spring, with a 36.4% strikeout rate and 7.1% walk rate. He has a four-pitch mix that includes a fastball that averaged 93 mph and touched 96, a high-usage changeup in the mid-80s that generated a 53% miss rate, low-80s slider and upper-80s cutter. The changeup is a standout offering that features tons of tumbling action down in the zone. 

Christian Mracna, RHP, Georgia — Mracna attended Belmont Abbey, Northwest Florida State JC and George Mason before he pitched as a starter and reliever for Georgia in 2024. A 6-foot-5, 220-pound righthander, Mracna posted a 5.32 ERA over 45.2 innings and 10 starts this spring with a 33.6% strikeout rate and 11.5% walk rate. Despite his size Mracna throws from a lower release point, thanks in part to above-average extension down the mound, and sits in the 90-94 mph range with a fastball that touches 96 and plays up thanks to his release traits. He overwhelmingly pitches off the fastball, but will mix in a slurvy breaking ball in the upper 70s and an occasional mid-80s changeup. 

Clark Candiotti, RHP, Arizona — Candiotti has had a winding college career that has taken him through a number of programs including St. Mary’s (2020), Vernon (Texas) JC (2021), Grayson County (Texas) JC (2022) and Wichita State (2023) before his 2024 season with Arizona. At the D-I level in each of the past two seasons the 6-foot-4, 237-pound righthander has shown solid control as a starter and this spring he posted a 3.39 ERA over 95.2 innings and 16 starts with a 25.9% strikeout rate and 5.8% walk rate. Candiotti pitches off his mid-80s slider as his primary offering but averaged 93 mph with his fastball and has run the pitch up to 96 at peak. He’ll also mix in a 78-80 mph curveball with short top-down shape. 

Cole Roland, RHP, Wake Forest — Roland will be 25 on draft day, but he pairs a physical 6-foot-3, 210-pound frame with a solid four-pitch mix out of the bullpen. He sits in the low 90s with his fastball and will run the pitch up to 93-94 but he attacked hitters as frequently with his low-80s breaking ball that blends in between a slider and curveball look and mid-80s changeup. His control took a step forward this spring with Wake Forest and he posted a 4.11 ERA over 15.1 innings with a 27.7% strikeout rate and 6.6% walk rate. 

Danny Trehey, RHP, Florida Atlantic — Trehey pitched for Johnson County (Kan.) JC in 2022 before transferring to Florida Atlantic where he earned a few starts in 2023 before making the move to a full-time reliever role in 2024. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound righthander was the team’s top reliever this spring and posted a 1.83 ERA over 44.1 innings with a 35.5% strikeout rate and 14% walk rate. He throws a three-pitch mix from a lower three-quarters arm slot. He throws a 90-94 mph fastball that plays up thanks to his release point and flat approach angle and will also mix in a slurvy slider in the 77-82 mph range and occasional low-80s changeup. 

Dawson Netz, RHP, Arizona — Netz has pitched for Arizona for five seasons but had a career-year in 2024 when he posted a 4.29 ERA over 21 innings with a career-high 31.8% strikeout rate and career-low 5.9% walk rate. The 6-foot-1, 203-pound righthander mostly pitches off a low 90s fastball that touches 95 and spins both an upper-70s slider and low-70s curveball with 12-to-6 shape. 

Drake Frize, RHP, San Diego — Frize is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound righthander and redshirt junior who missed his 2021 freshman season and has pitched only sporadically as a reliever for San Diego in the ensuing three seasons. Despite that lack of volume, and the fact that he’ll be 23 years old on draft day, Frize has intriguing pitch traits that could entice teams on day three. Frize sits around 90 mph and touches 93 with his fastball, but he generates excellent riding life with the pitch and releases from a lower release point that helps it play above that velocity. In fact he generated a tremendous 43% whiff rate with the heater during the 2024 season which helped him post a career-best 44.3% strikeout rate. He also throws a mid-70s downer curveball with tons of depth which should complement his fastball and allow a north-south approach. Frize has also mixed in a low-80s changeup but if he remains in the bullpen it might not be a real factor moving forward. A strong 2023 summer stint in the Northwoods League—2.68 ERA, 37 innings, 41 strikeouts—should boost his resume.

Grant Taylor, RHP, Washington State — Taylor started his career as a reliever for Washington State back in 2020-2021, but spent each of the last three seasons as a starter for the program and in 2024 posted a 4.21 ERA over 83.1 innings and 15 starts. He’s been a fair strike-thrower throughout his career but this spring managed a career-high 28.3% strikeout rate and career-low 8% walk rate. A big and physical righthander with a 6-foot-5, 228-pound frame, Taylor has a four-pitch mix led by a 90-93 mph fastball with above-average carry, an 83-86 mph slider that he lands in the zone at a high clip, an upper-70s curveball with more depth and a mid-80s changeup with a bit of armside fade. 

Gus Hughes, RHP, High Point — Hughes is a 6-foot, 190-pound righthander who pitched with Gaston (N.C.) JC and UNC Charlotte before transferring to High Point where he transitioned from a reliever role to a starting role. This spring he posted a 3.77 ERA over 102.2 innings and 16 starts with a 24.9% strikeout rate and 9.2% walk rate. Hughes has a four-pitch mix led by a 90-92 mph fastball that touches 95 with solid riding life, a mid-80s slider that is his most consistent swing-and-miss pitch at the moment. He also throws a curveball in the upper 70s and a changeup in the mid 80s.

Harrison Kreiling, RHP, Nebraska-Omaha — Kreiling was a catcher and pitcher in high school but has spent four seasons with Nebraska-Omaha as a righthanded starter and reliever. This spring the 6-foot, 190-pound righty turned in a career year and posted a 2.77 ERA over 48.2 innings and nine starts, with a 30.8% strikeout rate and 10.7% walk rate. He averaged 92 mph on a fastball that will touch 96, but his lower release height and flat approach angle could allow the fastball to play up. Both his low-80s slider and mid-80s changeup were reliable swing-and-miss pitches this spring and Kreiling showed a knack for landing the changeup for strikes. 

Hoss Brewer, RHP, Arkansas Little Rock — Brewer spent one season at Seminole State (Okla.) JC before moving to Arkansas-Little Rock where he pitched three seasons as a starter and reliever. In 2024 the 6-foot-4, 205-pound righthander had a career year in a full-time starting role. He posted a 3.95 ERA over 84.1 innings and 15 starts with a 26.6% strikeout rate and 9.5% walk rate. Brewer throws a 90-95 mph fastball that has above-average riding life and backs the pitch with a low-80s breaking ball mid-80s changeup—both of which were reliable swing-and-miss offerings this spring. 

Hunter Cranton, RHP, Kansas — Cranton is an older pitcher for the 2024 class but he’s got big arm strength and has finally put things together in his 2024 season for Kansas. He spent two years with Saddleback (Calif.) JC, then made six appearances with San Diego State in 2022 before moving to Kansas for his 2023 and 2024 seasons. After splitting time as a starter and reliever in 2023, Cranton pitched in a full-time bullpen role in 2024 which led to nearly a five mph gain in his fastball velocity. He has pitched with a fastball that sits 97 and touches 100 mph and pairs that with an upper-80s slider. Cranton has some moving parts in his delivery, including an overhead windup and a long and inverted arm stroke, but he’s done a solid job filling the zone with his two-pitch mix and has enough power stuff to intrigue teams on day three or as a money-saving senior target. 

Hunter Hodges, RHP, TCU — Hodges is a 6-foot-3, 225-pound righthander who has racked up plenty of strikeouts and walks over his four collegiate seasons, starting with UNC Wilmington and finishing with TCU—as a reliever at both schools. This spring Hodges posted a 1.86 ERA over 19.1 innings with a 42.9% strikeout rate and a 16.9% walk rate. He throws a 90-93 mph fastball that features some cutting action, but used the pitch only around 20% of the time this spring, instead throwing a heavy diet of low-80s curveballs and mid-80s sliders. Both are high-spin offerings that get near 3,000 rpm. Hodges generated a miss rate north of 50% with both pitches this spring, though his control is well below-average. 

Hunter Omlid, RHP, Arizona State — Omlid is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound righthander who has bounced around a few programs over the years, including Boise State, Central Arizona JC, Grand Canyon and finally Arizona State in 2024. This spring Omlid posted a 6.69 ERA over 37.2 innings mostly out of the bullpen with a 31.8% strikeout rate and 11.2% walk rate. Despite his results, Omlid has intriguing pure stuff led by a 92-94 mph fastball that gets up to 97 and features solid riding life and a flat approach angle as well as a high-spin slider in the mid 80s that averaged around 13 inches of horizontal movement. Omlid will occasionally mix in a mid-80s changeup but primarily worked off the fastball/slider combination.

Jack Young, RHP, Iowa — Young spent a few seasons with Parkland (Ill.) JC before heading to Iowa, where he threw 6.1 innings in 2023 and then became an effective reliever in 2024 when he posted a 2.76 ERA over 32.2 innings with a 35.1% strikeout rate and 9% walk rate. A 5-foot-11, 188-pound righthander, Young has an extremely low release point thanks to his sidearm slot, and throws a three-pitch mix that includes an 89-91 mph fastball that has touched 97, a high-spin slider in the upper 70s with tons of sweeping action and an 81-85 mph changeup. 

Jacob Shafer, RHP, UNC Wilmington — Shafer is a 6-foot-8, 240-pound righthander and redshirt junior who missed the 2022 season with injury but has spent each of the past two seasons as a reliable strike-throwing starter for UNC Wilmington. Shafer sits in the 91-93 mph range with a fastball that touches 96 and uses a low-80s slider as his primary secondary, though he will mix in a harder cutter in the upper 80s and throw an occasional changeup as well. He posted a 5.99 ERA this spring over 76.2 innings and 16 starts, with a 17.6% strikeout rate and 8.7% walk rate. Shafer has also pitched well in two summers in the Cape Cod League. 

Jake Shirk, RHP, Wright State — A 6-foot-2, 200-pound righthander, Shirk started his career out of the bullpen for Wright State as a freshman before transitioning to a starter role in his 2022 sophomore season. For his career Shirk has shown plus control, though he has never never found a way to miss a ton of bats. He has a career 5.27 ERA over 270 innings and 45 starts, with an 18% strikeout rate and 4.9% walk rate. Shirk throws from a low three-quarters slot and this spring averaged 92 mph on a sinking fastball that touched 95. He throws a slurvy breaking ball around 80 mph that blends in shape between a slider and curve, though the pitch features solid two-plane bite at its best. His low-80s changeup was his best swing-and-miss offering this spring.

Jesse Barker, RHP, Central Arkansas — Barker is a 6-foot-2, 200-pound righthander and grad student who barely pitched in 2020 and 2021 for Central Arkansas, but was an innings-eating strike thrower in the 2022-2024 seasons. He capped his college career with a career-best 2024 season that featured a 3.78 ERA in 97.2 innings with a 26.8% strikeout rate and 6.3% walk rate. Barker sits around 90 mph and touches 93 with his fastball but throws it for strikes nearly 70% of the time, and backs the heater with a low-80s changeup and upper-70s breaking ball that blends in shape between a slider and a curve. There’s no carrying pitch here and Barker is old for the class but a team could be intrigued with his control as a senior sign target—especially after ranking among the national leaders with 118 strikeouts. 

Joe Vogatsky, RHP, James Madison — The Blue Jays drafted Vogatsky in the 14th round of the 2023 draft, but he opted to return to James Madison for his senior season in 2024. A 6-foot, 215-pound righthander, Vogatsky has developed into a reliable reliever in college and this spring posted a 3.49 ERA over 49 innings with a 22% strikeout rate and 10.6% walk rate. He has a reliever delivery with effort and a sidearm slot that creates some deception on all of his pitches and mostly works with a fastball/slider combo. The fastball averaged 93 mph this spring and will touch 96-97 at peak and his low-80s slider has solid pure spin rates and modest break. Vogatsky also generated some decent miss rates with a slower curveball in the upper 70s and will mix in a mid-80s changeup. 

Jonathan Todd, RHP, Western Carolina — Todd is a 6-foot-6, 230-pound righthander who started eight games for Western Carolina in 2023 but mostly pitched out of the bullpen in 2024. He posted a 4.00 ERA over 36 innings this spring with a 32% strikeout rate and 8.5% walk rate. Todd throws a fastball that averaged 92 mph this spring and will touch 95 but the pitch has solid carry and occasional cutting action. He pairs it with a mid-80s short-breaking slider that generated a miss rate north of 50% this spring. While he overwhelmingly pitches off the fastball/slider combination, Todd also has mixed in an occasional mid-80s changeup. 

Josh Sanders, RHP, Texas Tech — Sanders has had an inconsistent career over four seasons with Texas Tech, but figured something out as a senior in 2024 when he posted a 2.75 ERA through 39.1 innings in the bullpen with a 23.6% strikeout rate and 6.1% walk rate. Listed at 6-foot-3, 180 pounds, Sanders throws a sinking fastball in the 90-94 mph range that has helped him push nearly a 60% groundball rate in his college career. He also has a sweeping low-70s curveball that has been an effective bat-misser, but doesn’t profile to be so in pro ball without more power and late movement, as well as a rarely-used mid-80s changeup. Sanders has some projection to his frame and could be a senior target for a team that believes they can improve his breaking ball.

Mason Burns, RHP, Western Kentucky — Burns is a 6-foot-3, 215-pound righthander who in 2024 broke Western Kentucky’s saves record when he finished second in the country with 15 in 28 appearances. He posted a 4.00 ERA over 36 innings with a 31.1% strikeout rate and 7.8% walk rate and has been a lockdown reliever for the team after pitching only a handful of times for Illinois State in 2021-2022. Burns averaged 93 mph with his fastball this spring and will touch 97 with the pitch, while pairing it with an 81-85 mph slider with short biting action that helped him miss plenty of bats. 

Matt Poston, RHP, North Carolina — Poston is a 6-foot-4, 235-pound righthander who spent two seasons with Florence-Darlington (S.C.) JC before transferring to UNC and pitching well out of the bullpen for two seasons. This spring he posted a 5.12 ERA over 38.2 innings with a 28.7% strikeout rate and 12% walk rate. He throws his 93-mph fastball nearly 80% of the time and the pitch will touch 97 mph at peak velocity with solid riding life. Poston’s go-to secondary is a mid-80s changeup that he does a nice job killing spin with and features late tumbling action. He seems to struggle to spin the baseball and almost never throws a breaking pitch. 

Michael Ross, RHP, Samford — Ross is a 6-foot-2, 205-pound righthander who missed the 2023 season with injury but came back in 2024 and turned in a career year. He posted a 3.27 ERA over 96.1 innings and 15 starts with a 22% strikeout rate and 5.3% walk rate. Ross throws his fastball in the low 90s and will touch 94 and mixes in a low-80s changeup and slow and slurvy slider in the upper 70s. He’s been a strong strike-thrower throughout his career and owns a 5.8% career walk rate with Samford.

Nathan Holler, RHP, Murray State — Holler is a 6-foot, 160-pound righthanded reliever and sidearm pitcher who spent two seasons at Kennesaw State before transferring to Murray State where he pitched in 2023 and 2024. This spring Holler posted a 3.57 ERA over 35.1 innings with a 22.6% strikeout rate and 5.8% walk rate. He throws his fastball in the 90-93 mph range but the pitch comes from a low slot that could allow it to play up and he’ll also mix in a mid-80s slider and upper-80s changeup with arm-side life. 

Niko Mazza, RHP, Southern Miss — Mazza is a stocky righthander with a 5-foot-11, 194-pound frame, broad shoulders and loud pure stuff. He struck out more than 10 batters per nine innings in each of his three seasons at Southern Miss, first pitching briefly out of the bullpen in 2022, then moving to a split starter/reliever role in 2023 and then as a full-time starter in 2024. He throws a four-pitch mix that centers on a 93-94 mph fastball that will touch 96 and throws an 85-90 mph cutter, a low-80s slider with solid two-plane breaking action and a mid-80s changeup that he saves for lefthanded hitters. After walking batters at a 13-15% clip during his first two seasons Mazza improved that rate to 8.9% in 2024 which could encourage teams about his chances to pitch as a starter in pro ball.  

Owen Woodward, RHP, Houston — Woodward pitched for Lubbock Christian and Weatherford (Texas) JC before spending the 2023 and 2024 seasons as a reliever with Houston. A 6-foot-3, 200-pound righthander, Woodward filled up the zone this spring with a three-pitch mix including a fastball that averaged 93-94 mph and touched 96, a mid-80s slider and a firm upper-80s changeup. He posted a 5.40 ERA over 23.1 innings out of the bullpen but had a terrific 37.1% strikeout rate and 4.1% walk rate. 

Preston Howey, RHP, St. Mary’s — Howey is a 5-foot-10, 173-pound righthander who has steadily improved as a reliever for St. Mary’s in each of his four seasons with the program. He had a career season this spring when he posted a 4.26 ERA over 38 innings with a career-high 29.7% strikeout rate and 8.7% walk rate. Howey is undersized but he averaged 93-94 mph with a fastball that touches 97 and features a flat approach angle that allows it to rack up whiffs. He also throws a hard mid-80s slider and a cutter a few ticks harder. 

Sam Brodersen, RHP, Louisiana Tech — Brodersen is a 6-foot-1, 200-pound righthander who spent three seasons with Division II Wingate (N.C.) before transferring to Louisiana Tech for the 2024 season. He was a full-time reliever this spring but posted a 3.05 ERA over 56 innings in the role with a 40% strikeout rate, 16.7% walk rate and two loud pitches. Brodersen averaged 93 mph with his fastball and gets the pitch up into the 96-97 mph range at peak with well above-average riding life from a relatively flat approach angle that helps the pitch play up. He throws a mid-80s slider as often as the fastball and the pitch features solid 10-to-4 shape and spin rates around 2,600 rpm. Brodersen is old for the class but with two solid pitches and below-average control he could fit in a bullpen as a senior sign target. 

Seamus Barrett, RHP, Loyola Marymount — Barrett is a 6-foot-7, 220-pound righthander who took a step forward with his control this spring and posted a 4.78 ERA over 43.1 innings with a 30.4% strikeout rate and 7.3% walk rate. He averaged 93 mph with a fastball that will touch 97 at peak velocity and threw the pitch for strikes about 70% of the time this spring. Barrett also has a mid-80s changeup, a low-80s slider and a mid-70s curveball. Barrett also pitched in the New England Collegiate League during the 2023 summer where he showed better control than his previous three college seasons. 

Solomon Washington, RHP, Austin Peay — Washington has had an inconsistent college career that has been marred by injury at times and control questions at others, but he has a power fastball with compelling traits. The 6-foot, 203-pound righthander posted a 6.61 ERA over 31.1 innings including three starts this spring with a 21.9% strikeout rate and 13.5% walk rate. He averaged 93-94 mph and touched 97 with a fastball that he threw more than 80% of the time this spring, and the pitch could play up thanks to both its above-average riding life and a flat approach angle. Washington also throws a mid-80s slider with solid power though he needs to add a bit more touch and feel for the breaking ball.

Tony Rossi, RHP, UNC Charlotte — Rossi has been a high-usage reliever for UNC Charlotte for multiple seasons, both in 2022 and 2024 after missing the 2023 campaign thanks to injury. This spring he posted a 5.52 ERA over 44 innings with a 32.1% strikeout rate and 16% walk rate. He’s an effectively wild sort of reliever with big arm talent and shaky control. Rossi averaged 95 mph with a fastball that has touched 97 and features armside running life. He also has a pair of swing-and-miss secondaries between a high-spin slider in the mid 80s that features nearly 15 inches of horizontal break and a firm upper-80s changeup. Between his 6-foot-3, 230-pound frame and pitch mix there’s some upside here if he can find the zone more frequently though Rossie will be 25 on draft day. 

Tyler Stasiowski, RHP, California — Stasiowski pitched two seasons with Santa Rosa (Calif.) JC before heading to California where he was a solid reliever in 2023 and 2024. This spring the 6-foot, 185-pound righthander posted a 2.65 ERA over 37.1 innings with a 36% strikeout rate and 8% walk rate. He averages 90-91 mph on his fastball and will touch 93, but threw his mid-80s tight-breaking slider 70% of the time this spring. Stasiowski generated a 47% miss rate with the pitch despite its high usage and has been a solid strike-thrower in each of the last two seasons. 

Lefthanded Pitchers

Caden Favors, LHP, Wichita State — Favors is a 6-foot-3, 205-pound righthander who pitched a season at Seminole State (Fla.) JC before heading to Wichita State where he pitched as a reliever for two seasons before taking on a starting role this spring. He posted a 3.21 ERA over 106.2 innings and 16 starts with a 24.1% strikeout rate and 4.5% walk rate. Favors has impressive command of a five-pitch mix that includes a fastball that averages 90 mph and touches 93, as well as a low-80 slider, upper-80s cutter, low-80s changeup and rarely used upper-70s curveball. 

Chipper Menard, LHP, Louisiana-Monroe — Menard is an undersized lefthander with a 5-foot-11, 175-pound frame who spent two seasons with Louisiana-Lafayette before pitching for Louisiana-Monroe as a starter and reliever in 2023-2024. This spring he posted a 4.60 ERA over 47 innings, mostly out of the bullpen, with a 26.8% strikeout rate and 8.2% walk rate. He throws a 90-94 mph fastball that touches 95 with above-average riding life and backs it with a slider around 80 mph that features solid horizontal movement and a slower curveball in the mid-70s with more depth. Menard also has a mid-80s changeup that he throws more often to righties. 

Derek Clark, LHP, West Virginia — Clark is an undersized lefthander who spent three seasons with Northwood before a standout 2024 season with West Virginia where he posted a 3.05 ERA in 11 starts, including three complete games, and 79.2 innings with a 22.2% strikeout rate and 6.1% walk rate. Listed at 5-foot-9, 190 pounds, Clark attacks hitters with a fastball and changeup combination from a three-quarters slot. He sits in the upper 80s and will run the fastball up to 92, while the changeup checks in around 78. Clark also throws a low-80s slider and will lower his arm slot on the pitch to offer a different breaking ball look that’s a bit slower. Clark has a long history of being an above-average strike thrower—including a solid 2023 stint in the Cape Cod League—so a team could make him a senior sign target because of that and his strong 2024 performance. 

Evan Aschenbeck, LHP, Texas A&M — Aschenbeck spent two seasons with Blinn (Texas) JC before transferring to Texas A&M where he has been a highly used and reliable multi-inning reliever. A 6-foot-2, 220-pound lefthander, Aschenbeck owns a career 2.56 ERA in two seasons with the Aggies over 140.2 innings, with a 28.5% strikeout rate and 5.6% walk rate. He has a three-pitch mix including an 89-90 mph fastball that touches 92-93, a low-80s short-breaking slider that occasionally flashes some sweep to the glove side and an upper-70s tumbling changeup. Aschenbeck’s stuff isn’t overwhelming but he mixes all three pitches effectively and has been an above-average strike-thrower. 

Garrett Gainey, LHP, South Carolina — Gainey spent three seasons with Winthrop and one with Liberty before he transferred to South Carolina for the 2024 season where he posted a 4.00 ERA over 54 innings with a 29.3% strikeout rate and 4.7% walk rate. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound lefthander has a three-pitch mix led by a fastball that averaged 93-94 mph and touched 96 this spring with solid riding life. His primary secondary is a low-80s slider and he also has a mid-80s changeup that is a solid offering against righthanded hitters.

Justin Sinibaldi, LHP, Rutgers — Sinibaldi is a physical 6-foot-5, 220-pound lefthander who pitched mostly out of the bullpen during his first two seasons with Rutgers but took a huge step forward in 2023 and has been a starter for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. He posted a 3.47 ERA through 13 starts and 83 innings in 2024 with a 19.4% strikeout rate and 6.6% walk rate—the lowest of his career. Sinibaldi has a high-spin pitch mix with a fastball that sits 88-90 and has been up to 94 with sink and run, a slow and sweepy slider in the upper 70s and a mid-80s changeup. Sinibaldi has a long and inverted arm action but has been a decent strike thrower in his career.

Sam Garcia, LHP, Oklahoma State — Garcia pitched as a starter and reliever for three seasons with High Point before transferring to Oklahoma State for the 2024 season where he pitched as a full-time starter and posted a 3.64 ERA over 89 innings in 16 games. He struck out a career-high 31% of batters and walked a career-low 5.1% and his 115 total strikeouts were good for fifth-best in the Big 12. Garcia throws his fastball in the upper 80s and will touch 93, while mixing in a 78-81 mph slider and low-80s changeup. He has a solid pitcher’s frame at 6-foot-4, 218 pounds and works with an easy delivery and balanced finish. 

Stone Hewlett, LHP, Arkansas — Hewlett is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound lefthander and sidearming reliever who spent three seasons with Kansas before transferring to Arkansas for the 2024 season. He threw just 13 innings this spring but posted a 3.46 ERA with a 43.4% strikeout rate and 15.1% walk rate. Hewlett works with a two-pitch mix that includes an upper-70s sweeping slider with tons of horizontal movement and an 88-91 mph sinking fastball. Hewlett has below-average control but his release point is a tricky matchup for lefthanded hitters and his slider was a loud swing-and-miss pitch this spring. 

Ty Bothwell, LHP, Indiana — Bothwell is a 5-foot-10, 205-pound lefthander who is one of the oldest players in the 2024 class, but a pitcher with intriguing fastball traits who might make for a sneaky senior sign. He pitched as a starter and reliever in his five years with Indiana, culminating in a 4.82 ERA through 74.2 innings in 2024 with a 21.9% strikeout rate and 6.9% walk rate. Bothwell sits around 90 mph with his fastball and has touched 95, but he gets more swings and misses than you might expect with it, perhaps thanks to its riding life and flat approach angle. After the fastball, Bothwell relies on a mid-80s changeup and slurvy low-80s breaking ball.

Zach Davidson, LHP, Indiana State — Davidson pitched a season with Lincoln Trail (Ill.) JC and Radford before he moved to Indiana State where he’s been a lockdown reliever for two seasons. This spring the 5-foot-9, 195-pound lefthander posted a 2.56 ERA over 56.1 innings with a 37.4% strikeout rate and 9% walk rate. He mostly works off a fastball/breaking ball combination with a heater that averages 90 mph and will touch 93 but he generates a huge amount of riding life on the pitch that helps it play up. Davidson’s breaking ball is a 78-82 mph slurvy pitch that generated a miss rate north of 50% this spring. 

Catchers

Alex Milazzo, C, LSU — Milazzo is a 5-foot-11, 190-pound catcher who has a light bat, but has done enough defensively to become a key piece of a talented LSU lineup over the last four seasons. He became the team’s everyday catcher as a sophomore in 2021 despite hitting under .200 in each of his first two seasons with LSU. He was limited by a knee injury in 2022 but showed a pesky offensive approach in 2023 and 2024 that made him less of an automatic out in the lineup. Milazzo receives well and has thrown out 31-of-94 (33.0%) of basestealers over his career with a quick exchange that helps a solid arm play up. 

Burke Camper, C, Utah Valley State — Camper is a 6-foot, 225-pound catcher who spent three seasons with Towson where he struggled with strikeouts before finding his footing at Utah Valley from 2023-2024. This spring he hit .293/.474/.657 with a career-best 18 home runs. He still struck out a bit too often, 23.1% of the time, but a career-high 18.3% walk rate helped mitigate that a bit. Camper has huge contact questions and has been overwhelmed by secondaries at times, but his on-base skills and pull-side power could be appealing for teams who think he can stick behind the plate. 

Colin Summerhill, C, Northern Illinois — A 6-foot-2, 205-pound catcher, first baseman and outfielder, Summerhill broke Northern Illinois’ single-season home run record this spring when he hit 19 and slashed .290/.395/.625 while walking as often as he struck out. His blend of bat-to-ball skill, on-base ability and top-end exit velocity data is some of the most compelling of all senior catchers in the country. Against fastballs only, Summerhill managed a 93% overall contact rate this spring.

Derek Berg, C, Army — Berg is a 6-foot-3, 200-pound catcher who had the best offensive season of his career with Army in 2024 in the same season he was also named the defensive player of the year in the Patriot League. He slashed .290/.404/.605 and homered a career-high 16 times with a 21.4% strikeout rate and 11.9% walk rate. Berg is an aggressive hitter who has some swing-and-miss questions, but his pull-side power could be appealing for teams when paired with his defensive profile behind the dish. 

Ethan Hibbard, C, Fairfield — Hibbard is a 6-foot, 240-pound catcher who had a breakout 2023 season with Fairfield before taking it to another level in 2024 as a graduate student. This spring he slashed .342/.461/.659 with 17 home runs and 14 doubles and finished third among MAAC hitters with a 1.119 OPS. He paired a solid approach with strong contact skills and power though he has no real summer or wood bat track record to speak of. 

Hayden Gilliland, C, Tennessee Tech — Gilliland is a 5-foot-11, 175-pound catcher who hit over .300 in three of his four seasons at Tennessee Tech. This spring the lefthanded-hitting backstop slashed .325/.433/.569 with 13 home runs and 12 doubles while posting a career-low 9.4% strikeout rate and solid 15% walk rate. He has a fairly well-rounded offensive profile based on his batted ball data, which includes an 83% contact rate, 19% chase rate and solid but unspectacular top-end exit velocities.

Jack Bulger, C/OF, Vanderbilt — Bulger was a high-profile prospect coming out of high school who stood out for his advanced physicality and defensive potential behind the plate. He never quite lived up to offensive expectations in four seasons with Vanderbilt and is a career .265/.362/.387 hitter with the program though he has impressive raw power potential and strength. He’s split time at catcher and corner outfield but could be an interesting senior sign for a team who thinks he can stick behind the plate in pro ball.  

Jacob Schroeder, C, Illinois — Schroeder will be nearly 24 years old on draft day but he’s also a lefthanded hitting catcher who has put together back-to-back 14-homer seasons with Illinois. He spent time with Northern Illinois and Logan (Ill.) JC before transfering to the Big 10 where he has been one of the team’s best sources of power. Schroeder does swing and miss plenty, particularly against secondaries, but he also doesn’t chase too frequently and pairs a solid 12% walk rate with his lefthanded pop. 

Logan Jordan, 1B/C, Georgia — Jordan is a 6-foot-3, 238-pound righthanded hitter who spent time at first base, right field, catcher, left field and DH this spring with Georgia. He played two seasons each with Iowa Western JC and Campbell before moving to Georgia in 2024 where he slashed .241/.425/.430 with four home runs in 32 games. Jordan has real contact questions against secondaries but his on-base ability and impressive raw power and top-end exit velocities could be appealing for teams who are targeting senior signs.

Infielders

Ben Palmer, SS, Southeast Missouri State — Palmer was a light-hitting middle infielder for two seasons with Southeast Missouri before a breakout 2024 season that saw him homer 18 times and slash .281/.408/.566. A 6-foot-3, 180-pound righthanded hitter, Palmer slid from second base to shortstop during his senior season with the program and started showing significantly more power that mostly played to the left-center gap. The majority of Palmer’s college career—including two seasons with Iowa Western JC—doesn’t indicate a high-level hitter, but if teams view a real change that helped drive his 2024 production, he could be an interesting senior sign thanks to a lean frame and middle infield defensive profile. 

Brandon Eike, 3B, VCU — Eike is a 6-foot, 220-pound third baseman who spent two years at North Carolina where he barely played before transferring to VCU for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. At VCU Eike became the team’s every day third baseman and showed a solid blend of average, patience and power. He slashed .378/.470/.661 this spring and homered 14 times with 27 doubles, a 15% strikeout rate and a 13.3% walk rate. Eike can get overly aggressive at times, but his in-zone contact rates and top-end exit velocity numbers were impressive this spring. He showed a solid ability to homer to both gaps and has also hit well in multiple summers in the Coastal Plain League with a wood bat. 

Caleb Cozart, 1B, UNC Greensboro — Cozart is a hulking, 6-foot-5, 260-pound first baseman and righthanded hitter who began his career at North Carolina where he pitched before finding a home as a slugger with UNC Greensboro. Cozart slashed .332/.474/.742 with 22 home runs and nearly as many walks as strikeouts this spring. He’s the older brother of Jacob Cozart, who is a potential day one draft pick out of North Carolina State.

Cameron Sisneros, 1B, East Tennessee State — Sisneros is a husky first baseman with a 6-foot-2, 230-pound frame and tons of power with a background as a two-way player. Before his time at East Tennessee State, Sisneros hit and pitched for Lamar (Colo.) JC, but in recent years stands out entirely for his lefthanded power. This spring he was the Southern Conference player of the year after hitting .369/.493/.766 with 23 home runs and 16 doubles and he also had standout zone discipline with a 7.4% strikeout rate and 18% walk rate. Sisneros can homer to all fields and he managed a terrific 89% contact rate and 18% chase rate this spring, though he doesn’t have much track record in wood bat summer leagues and profiles as a first baseman or DH only. 

Carmine Petosa, 1B, Bryant — Petosa is a 6-foot, 230-pound lefthanded hitter and first baseman who began his career at Wake Forest but transferred after one season for Bryant. Petosa turned in a career year in 202 when he slashed .320/.473/.640 with 14 home runs and 22 doubles while also walking more than he struck out for the first time in his career. That on-base skill was perhaps more impressive than his raw power, as Petosa reached base safely in all 57 games he played this season. His 60-game on-base streak dating back to 2023 is the longest streak in Bryant history. 

Carter Cunningham, 1B, East Carolina — Cunningham is a 6-foot-4, 211-pound first baseman and outfielder who was named the American Athletic Conference’s player of the year after he slashed .367/.464/.653 with 17 home runs, 17 doubles and as many walks as strikeouts. He’s played first base, left field and a few games in center field during his college career, though he has a definite corner profile for pro ball. Cunningham has solid wood bat track record in about 35 total games combined between the Valley League (2022) and Cal Ripken Collegiate League (2023). 

Christian Almanza, 1B, St. Mary’s — Almanza is a 6-foot-4, 215-pound first baseman and lefthanded hitter who spent two seasons with Utah before transferring to St. Mary’s. In 2024 the lefty slugger hit a career-high 24 home runs and slashed .343/.459/.778 with a 17.6% strikeout rate and 15.3% walk rate. Most of that power went to the pull side and straight away center field this spring but he has shown enough power to set new records for St. Mary’s with single-season homers (24) and career home runs (47) after just three seasons.

Colton Becker, SS, Morehead State — Becker is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound shortstop who has spent four seasons at Morehead State but took an offensive step forward as a junior in 2023. He hit well over .300 in each of his last two seasons and this spring cut his strikeout rate significantly and slashed .347/.429/.614 with 14 home runs, 22 doubles and 29 stolen bases. 

Daunte Stuart, 2B, Memphis — Stuart is a 5-foot-11, 180-pound second baseman who spent four seasons at Northwestern State before transferring to Memphis in 2024. He had a career year this spring and hit .326/.430/.533 with eight home runs, 16 doubles and nearly as many walks as strikeouts. This season Stuart was a contact hitter who doesn’t often miss a fastball, but he could have some untapped power potential with solid bat speed, strength and intriguing top-end exit velocity numbers. 

Dixon Black, 3B, Wofford — Black helped push Wofford to the program’s first ever regional win in 2024 and is a bit of a data darling after slashing .350/.461/.617 with 13 home runs and more walks than strikeouts this spring. A 6-foot-1, 195-pound righthanded hitter and third baseman, Black has dominated Southern Conference pitching over the last two seasons but has struggled more in limited summer league exposure. He makes a ton of contact, stays within the zone and hits the ball fairly hard, though scouts expect less in-game power production with a wood bat in pro ball. 

Eddie Micheletti Jr., 1B/OF, Virginia Tech — Micheletti Jr. is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound outfielder and first baseman who played three seasons with George Washington before transferring to Virginia Tech in 2024 where he had a career year. The physical lefthanded hitter slashed .309/.464/.596 with 12 home runs, a 13.3% strikeout rate and a 20% walk rate that was good for fourth-best in the ACC as the team’s everyday right fielder. Micheletti has never shown big power numbers in a fairly lengthy summer wood bat track record in college, but his on-base skills could make him a senior sign target.

Edgar Alvarez, 1B, Nicholls State — Alvarez is a 6-foot-4, 230-pound first baseman who has been a consistent offensive performer for Nicholls State over the last three years and capped his 2024 senior season with a .415/.517/.675 slash line including 11 home runs, 20 doubles, a 10.5% strikeout rate and 18% walk rate. He doesn’t have the typical power production you’d expect of a first baseman with his physique and instead makes a ton of contact while limiting his strikeouts and getting on base via walks and hard hit doubles. Finding a way to access more power will be key for his profile because he’s likely limited to first base and a well below-average runner but his performance, contact skills and zone management could make him a senior sign target.

Garrett Howe, SS, Samford — Howe has been a reliable contributor and mainstay in the middle infield for Samford over the past four seasons, but in 2024 as a senior he had a breakout offensive season where he set career highs in each triple slash category. He hit .373/489/.585 with eight home runs and 17 doubles with an 11.7% strikeout rate and 16.2% walk rate. He makes a ton of contact and also doesn’t expand the zone frequently and could be a nice senior sign target given those skills and his middle infield defensive profile. 

Jared Sprague-Lott, 3B, Arkansas — Sprague-Lott is a 6-foot, 195-pound infielder who spent three seasons with Richmond as a middle-infielder and reliable hitter before transferring to Arkansas for his senior season in 2024. He slid to the hot corner for the Razorbacks but continued to show the standout on-base traits that made him valuable at Richmond against SEC competition. He slashed .295/.431/.494 in 43 games with eight home runs but as many walks as strikeouts and was one of the team’s most consistent hitters. Throughout his four years in college Sprague-Lott has just a 19% chase rate and 86% overall contact rate—both strong numbers. 

Julian Greenwell, 1B/OF, Wright State — Greenwell spent five seasons with Wright State and saved the best for last in his 2024 season, when he was one point shy of a .400 season and slashed .399/.474/.700 with 11 home runs and 20 doubles. A 5-foot-11, 200-pound first baseman and lefthanded hitter, Greenwell showed impressive pure contact skills this spring with an 85% overall contact rate and 92% in-zone contact rate. He expands the strike zone a bit too often and might not have the sort of raw power that typically profiles at first base, but a team might believe they can help him elevate a bit more often in pro ball.

Liam McFadden-Ackman, 1B, Northern Kentucky — McFadden-Ackman has played all over the infield for Northern Kentucky for four seasons and in 2024 was the Horizon League’s player of the year after he hit .354/.484/.726 with a career-high 22 home runs. He led the conference in homers, RBIs, runs, slugging percentage, walks and OPS and paired a patient approach with impressive raw power. He does swing and miss a decent bit, and has struggled against sliders in particular. After playing shortstop, second and third in his first two seasons with the program, McFadden-Ackman has been the team’s regular first baseman in each of the past two seasons. 

Lucas Loos, SS/OF, Eastern Illinois — Loos is a 6-foot-1, 220-pound shortstop who set Eastern Illinois’ single-season home run record this spring when he hit 23 and slashed .370/.442/.810 with 22 doubles and nine stolen bases. Most of that power went to the pull side, but Loos showed a solid blend of contact skills, swing decisions and top-end exit velocity numbers. 

Michael Snyder, 3B/1B, Oklahoma — A product of Southern California prep powerhouse Harvard-Westlake, Snyder played for Washington for four seasons before transferring to Oklahoma in 2024 for a breakout redshirt senior season. A 6-foot-4, 226-pound third baseman and first baseman, Snyder hit .354/.465/.638 with 11 home runs and 26 doubles, which was the most of any Big 12 college hitter. Snyder’s power plays mostly to the pull side and he has some contact questions against breaking balls, but he did a nice job spraying the ball on a line to all fields with a relatively compact swing for his size. 

Peyton Carr, 1B, High Point — Carr is a 6-foot-2, 202-pound first baseman whose season was limited to just 27 games thanks to injury, but when he was on the field he showed excellent zone skills and contact ability. He slashed .418/.516/.864 with 13 home runs and more walks than strikeouts—and for his career at High Point Carr has also walked more often than he’s struck out. He employs a big and drawn out leg kick in his swing and most of his power goes to the pull side, but Carr’s 88% in-zone contact rate was an impressive number given his size and power potential. 

Randy Flores, 2B/OF, Alabama State — Flores is a 5-foot-9, 165-pound infielder and outfielder who has shown solid defensive versatility and speed throughout his college career, but also just capped off his best hitting season in 2024. He hit .341/.424/.558 this spring with nine home runs and 31 stolen bases, while walking more than he struck out—a common theme for him throughout his college career. Flores rarely expands the zone and makes plenty of contact, though he doesn’t have much raw power or physical projection to add to it. Most of his playing time has come at second base, but he’s also played plenty of center field and has experience at shortstop, third base and left field as well. 

Robert Moya, 1B, Florida Gulf Coast — Moya played for Cleveland (N.C.) JC and Bethune-Cookman before transferring to Florida Gulf Coast for the 2024 season and has shown impressive power at each stop. A 6-foot, 220-pound first baseman and righthanded hitter, Moya slashed .284/.414/.562 this spring with 16 home runs and nearly as many walks as strikeouts. He has a high handset with his barrel tipped straight down behind his back and features a big leg kick in his load, but produces huge top-end exit velocities and can homer from gap-to-gap with relative ease. Moya is a fastball hitter who needs to do a better job identifying and making contact with secondary pitches and he’s probably limited to first base only in pro ball. 

Roman Kuntz, 1B, Morehead State — Kuntz spent two seasons at Lake Michigan JC before heading to Morehead State where he obliterated Ohio Valley Conference pitching for three years. The 6-foot-3, 180-pound first baseman was named the conference’s player of the year after he hit .366/.482/.860 with 33 home runs that was good for fourth in the country among D-I hitters—behind only Charlie Condon, Jac Caglianone and Christian Moore. Kuntz turned in a strong summer in 2023 in the Northwoods League though he also played in the MLB Draft league after the 2024 season and struggled through his first 16 games before the draft.

Sam Ruta, 3B, Army — Ruta has a case as one of the best run producers in Army history after his four years with the program. A 6-foot-2, 200-pound third baseman, he finished his career as a .310/.426/.526 hitter with 40 home runs and 52 doubles—first in program history in homers, total bases and RBIs. Ruta has solid power but has always stood out for his patient approach at the plate and ends his career with a 15.1% walk rate—including a 20.8% mark in 2024. 

Tyler MacGregor, 1B, Northeastern — MacGregor began his career at Columbia where he played for three seasons, but transferred to Northeastern in 2023 and after just two years with the program set a number of records including career batting average (.370) and career slugging percentage (.711). This spring the 6-foot-2, 220-pound first baseman slashed .402/.484/.786 with 19 home runs, 29 doubles and just a 12% strikeout rate. He showed a keen batting eye and made tons of contact against fastballs and sliders in particular, though changeups were a bit of an issue for him at times. 

Wyatt Henseler, 3B, Pennsylvania — Henseler is a 6-foot-1, 215-pound third baseman who has been a consistent offensive presence in Pennsylvania’s lineup for four years. He’s hit well over .300 in each season with the program and capped his career with a .360/.465/.755 slash line this spring with a career-best 22 home runs and as many walks as strikeouts. All of Henseler’s power goes to the pull-side and he struggled in his 2022 summer season in the Cape Cod League, but he has a solid blend of bat-to-ball skills and pop.

Zach Selinger, 2B, Fairfield — Selinger spent four seasons with Fordham before transferring to Fairfield for a fifth-year graduate season in 2024. A 5-foot-11, 185-pound second baseman, Selinger is a contact hitter with a strong batting eye at the plate. He slashed .300/.450/.450 with five home runs and nine doubles but more walks than strikeouts. He rarely expands the strike zone, hammers fastballs and makes plenty of contact within the zone. 

Outfielders

Avery Neaves, OF, College of Charleston — Neaves had a tremendous career with D-III Lynchburg, which included a conference player of the year honor in 2022 and a national championship in 2023. The 6-foot-2, 225-pound outfielder and righthanded hitter transferred to College of Charleston for the 2024 season, where his hitting chops translated nicely to D-I competition in the Colonial Athletic Association. He slashed .338/.476/.715 with 15 home runs and 25 doubles and led the team in most offensive categories. Neaves has pure contact questions, particularly against secondaries, but did a nice job picking his spots and staying within the zone on his swing decisions which helped him drive a strong 16.6% walk rate. 

Banks Tolley, OF, Appalachian State — Tolley was a member of Ole Miss’s 2022 championship team and in 2024 turned in one of the best offensive seasons in Appalachian State history. A 6-foot, 200-pound outfielder, Tolley set the program’s single-season home run record with 26 and slashed .380/.484/.781 and led the Sun Belt Conference in homers, slugging percentage and OPS as an everyday center fielder. Tolley has some contact questions, particularly against secondaries, but he has outstanding top-end exit velocity data that comes from an aggressive and fast righthanded swing. 

Ben Rounds, OF, Harvard — Rounds was a unanimous first-team All-Ivy outfielder this spring after he became the first Harvard player since 2004 to hit over .400 in a season. The 6-foot-1, 200-pound lefthanded hitter slashed .403/.506/.685 with eight home runs and 16 doubles and finished the season 15th overall among D-I hitters in batting average. He’s played all three outfield positions in college though most of his time has been spent in right field, where he might not have the sort of power to profile as a regular in pro ball. 

Chris Cannizzaro, OF, Virginia Tech — Cannizzaro is a 5-foot-11, 185-pound outfielder who spent four seasons with Bucknell before transferring to Virginia Tech where he has continued to hit for high average in the ACC. He hit well over .300 in both seasons and this spring slashed .346/.414/.626 with 12 home runs, 12 doubles and near as many walks (18) as strikeouts (24). Cannizzaro is an aggressive hitter who expands the zone regularly, but he has made tons of contact including an 88% contact rate against fastballs this spring. 

Drew Woodcox, OF, Texas Tech — Woodcox played 20 games for Texas Tech as a freshman in 2021, then played for Rice for a season before coming back to the Red Raiders for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. The 6-foot, 205-pound outfielder turned in a career year this spring when he slashed .321/.403/.642 with 14 home runs and 11 doubles. His top-end exit velocity data is strong, though he has enough swing-and-miss questions vs. secondaries to wonder how much of that power he’ll get to at the next level. Woodcox has played first base and third base in the past, though most of his playing time has come in left field. 

Ethan Mann, OF, Dallas Baptist — Mann played with Midland (Texas) JC and New Mexico State before transferring to Dallas Baptist for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. A 6-foot-1, 190-pound left fielder and righthanded hitter, Mann is an aggressive hitter who loves to swing the bat and has real contact and chase questions, though he brings solid power potential and has hit double-digit home runs in three separate seasons. This spring he slashed .322/.412/.639 with 16 home runs and impressive top-end exit velocity data. 

JT Benson, OF, Louisville — Benson is a 6-foot, 190-pound outfielder who didn’t play at all in 2021 but has steadily improved in each of his next three seasons with Louisville, culminating in a career-best season in 2024. He slashed .302/.438/.525 with nine home runs and as many walks as strikeouts as the team’s primary left fielder. Benson is mostly a contact hitter whose power almost exclusively played to the pull side, though he led the ACC with 34 stolen bases and has gone 51-for-61 (83.6%) on the bases during his career. 

Keith Jones, OF, New Mexico State — Jones spent two seasons with Washington State where he played in limited capacity before transferring to New Mexico State for the 2023 and 2024 seasons, where he became a lineup regular and led the team in hitting this spring. He slashed .367/.472/.710 with 17 home runs, 19 doubles and 10 stolen bases this spring. He tied Sam Houston State catcher Walker Janek for the best slugging percentage among Conference USA hitters and was third in the conference with a 1.183 OPS. Jones has played all three outfield positions in college, though he was an everyday right fielder in 2023 and everyday left fielder this spring. 

Kole Myers, OF, Troy — Myers is a 6-foot-1, 186-pound outfielder and lefthanded hitter who has shown impressive table-setting skills at the top of the lineup for Troy. This spring he was fifth in the country with 61 walks and hit .320/.485/.563 with a 14.5% strikeout rate, 20.5% walk rate and 32 stolen bases. In two seasons with Troy he’s gone 55-for-59 (93%) on the bases. He’s been a better fastball hitter and needs to improve against secondaries, but strong swing decisions could allow him to have solid on-base value even in pro ball. 

Micah McDowell, OF, Oregon State — McDowell is a 6-foot-1, 195-pound outfielder and Canadian native who struggled with the bat in his first three seasons with Oregon State but took a step forward in 2023 and continued that progress into 2024. He cut his strikeout rate significantly in 2023 and hit well above .300 in each of the last two seasons with a .382/.485/.632 slash line in 2024 with six home runs and a career-best 15.3% walk rate. McDowell hammered fastballs this spring and hit over .400 against that pitch type, and in general showed solid contact skills, swing decisions and batted ball data, though he’s never homered more than seven times in a single season. 

Mitchell Sanford, OF, New Orleans — Sanford spent two seasons with LSU and one with UT-Arlington before settling into an everyday role in the outfield with New Orleans for the 2023 and 2024 seasons. He’s put in back-to-back solid campaigns as a 6-foot-2, 205-pound lefthanded hitting outfielder and in 2024 had a career year with a .379/.460/.705 slash line, 15 home runs and 18 stolen bases. Sanford is old for the class and will be 23 on draft day but his performance could make him a senior sign target. 

Paul Toetz, OF, Georgia — Toetz is a 5-foot-11, 203-pound outfielder and second baseman who played with Indiana and Purdue before spending the 2024 season with Georgia as the team’s primary left fielder. Toetz hit .348/.448/.543 with five home runs and 10 doubles. He was a strong fastball hitter and did most of his extra-base damage against that pitch type but comes with production and contact questions vs. breaking balls. He played second base for Indiana and Purdue but both corner outfield positions for Georgia. 

Treyvin Moss, OF, Northern Kentucky — Moss was a solid play for four years with Northern Kentucky but had a breakout season during his 2024 grad student campaign this spring. The 6-foot-3, 185-pound lefthanded hitter slashed .393/.453/.678 with 11 home runs and 22 doubles—shattering his previous single-season high of three homers from the 2022 season. His 91% contact rate is a standout figure that could intrigue teams and against fastballs he managed a 95% contact rate. Moss has played right field for Northern Kentucky but doesn’t have the power to profile there in pro ball. 

Will Asby, OF, New Mexico — Asby is a 5-foot-11, 200-pound outfielder and lefthanded hitter who had a career-best season with New Mexico this spring. He slashed .324/.414/.587 with 12 home runs, 16 doubles and more walks than strikeouts. Most of Asby’s power was to the pull side, though he has the strength to homer to the opposite field at times as well, and made plenty of contact this spring with an 84% overall contract rate. Asby was New Mexico’s everyday right fielder and also played that position for San Francisco in 2023. Before that Asby played for Sacramento City (Calif.) JC.
