Top 100 College Baseball Transfer Portal Rankings

Welcome to Baseball America’s college baseball transfer portal rankings for 2025.

With the portal closed and the 2025 MLB Draft now over, we’ve completed our ranking updates to expand the list to the top 100 players. Be sure to check out complete updates to our 2025 transfer portal tracker here.

1. AJ Gracia, OF

Old school: Duke
New school: Virginia

Gracia last year cemented himself as one of the premier freshmen in college baseball after hitting .305/.440/.559 with 14 doubles, 14 home runs and 58 RBIs in 60 games. He got off to a sluggish start this spring and was hitting just .188 through April 3. Gracia made a handful of small tweaks to his stance and operation that wound up paying dividends, including lowering his handset, closing off his front side a bit and including less of a bat wrap/hand press in his load. As a result, he was in a far better position to hit and do damage.

Gracia has a pro body and an aesthetically pleasing swing featuring plenty of hand speed. He can drive the baseball to all fields, doesn’t chase—he did so at just an 18% clip this season—and has an advanced feel for the barrel.

Gracia has legitimate top 10 overall upside in next year’s draft.

2. Chris Hacopian, SS/3B

Old school: Maryland
New school: Texas A&M

Hacopian has one of the more impressive offensive track records of any hitter in his class. He’s produced at every stop—including summer ball—and is fresh off a career year in which he hit .375/.502/.656 with 12 doubles, 14 home runs, 61 RBIs and an eye-popping walk-to-strikeout ratio of 40-to-19.

Hacopian has a strong swing with big-time bat speed and has shown the ability to use the entire field, though his highest quality of contact comes to the pull side. He particularly feasts on heaters, and this spring he ran a 95% contact rate against all fastballs. Hacopian had an overall chase rate of just 20%, and very few of his swings came outside of the “shadow zone.”

A move back to third base isn’t out of the question for Hacopian, but regardless of where he ends up on the diamond, you are buying his bat.

3. Carson Tinney, C

Old school: Notre Dame
New school: Texas

After logging just 56 at-bats as a freshman last spring, Tinney enjoyed one of the biggest breakout campaigns of any hitter in the country. The first team all-ACC backstop hit .348/.498/.753 with 13 doubles, 17 home runs and 53 RBIs. At 6-foot-3 and 220 pounds, he is plenty physical with no shortage of natural strength. He has a simple and rhythmic operation in the box with plus bat and hand speed.

Tinney has a pull-heavy approach to go along with plus raw and—most importantly—game power, especially to the pull side. The main area of improvement for Tinney is his ability to pick up spin and see shapes out of the hand. There is some miss and chase against secondaries, though it hasn’t been a hindrance to this point.

While he’s slightly large for the position, Tinney is an advanced defender behind the dish. He has a plus, accurate arm as well as advanced footwork and direction. Tinney possesses high-level catch-and-throw skills, and he figures to stick at the position long term. He very well could be the first catcher of the board next July.

4. Trey Beard, LHP

Old school: Florida Atlantic
New school: Florida State

Beard was already ranked in a prominent spot (No. 36) on the first iteration of our 2026 college rankings, but he’ll be much higher than that in our next update. He pitched his way to a 3.14 ERA with an impressive strikeout-to-walk ratio of 118-to-32 across 86 innings. If it wasn’t for Charlotte righthander Blake Gillespie, Beard would have taken home AAC Pitcher of the Year honors.

Beard attacks from a straight over-the-top slot and a tough-to-pick-up 6-foot-9 release height. His fastball sits in the low 90s, but it jumps out of his hand and has plenty of natural carry up in the zone. He does an outstanding job of maintaining arm speed on his plus mid-70s changeup that gets fantastic separation off his heater, and it’s an unbelievably difficult change of pace for opposing hitters. It’s a plus pitch that flashes consistent tumble.

Beard also features a mid-70s curveball that flashes big-time depth and downward bite, as well as a mid-to-upper-70s slider that is distinct in shape with lateral life.

5. Joey Volchko, RHP

Old school: Stanford
New school: Georgia

Volchko made serious waves last week when he entered the portal, a move that came as a surprise to some. The 6-foot-4 righthander last spring showed flashes of his high-octane stuff, and while he did the same this season, he didn’t take the step forward many expected him to.

When Volchko is “on,” he has perhaps the best pure stuff of any pitcher in the 2026 class. He deploys a funky, somewhat up-tempo delivery with his limbs flying at the opposing hitter. He features a mid-to-upper-90s fastball that flashes plenty of run and sink, but his money maker is a high-spin, low-90s power slider for which he has an advanced feel.

Volchko has a better feel for his slider than he does his fastball, and it’s a pitch that routinely flashes sharp two-plane tilt and generates plenty of empty swings. He also features a power mid-80s downer curveball that’s distinct in shape from his slider. He rounds out his arsenal with a low-90s changeup that occasionally flashes.

The biggest wild card with Volchko is his command. When he’s in and around the strike zone, he is arguably the most dominant pitcher in his class. However, that’s been a big “if”—especially this spring—and his pitchability will need to take a sizable step forward.

6. Jarren Advincula, 2B

Old school: California
New school: Georgia Tech

Advincula enjoyed a standout freshman campaign at Cal that was capped off by an impressive summer in which he took home the Cape League batting title after he hit .392/.448/.446. He didn’t miss a beat this spring and hit .342/.410/.506 with 25 extra-base hits, 33 RBIs and 13 stolen bases.

In what was a bit of a surprising move, Advincula proceeded to enter the portal. Though he has yet to commit, he has a handful of big-time suitors.

Advincula has an ultra-hitterish look in the box with a short, quick swing that is tailored towards spraying line drives to all parts of the field. Advincula has a highly-advanced feel for the barrel to go along with a polished approach. His bat-to-ball skills are comfortably plus, and this spring he ran a 92% in-zone contact rate.

On top of his exciting tools, Advincula’s makeup is an 80.

7. Henry Ford, OF/1B

Old school: Virginia
New school: Tennessee

A two-year standout at Virginia, Ford this year hit a career-best .362/.420/.575 with 21 extra-base hits and 46 RBIs. Upon former UVA head coach Brian O’Connor’s departure for Mississippi State— and for added leverage in the draft—Ford entered the portal.

At 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds, Ford has a big league body. He has a rather stiff operation in the box and is an aggressive hitter with enough natural strength to drive the baseball with authority to all parts of the field. Up to this point, most of his home run power—and highest quality of contact—has come to the pull side. Ford struggles to pick up secondaries out of the hand at times, and he also has the tendency to expand the strike zone.

After spending the entirety of his freshman season at first base, Ford this spring logged 34 games in the outfield. He’s a below-average runner and heavy stepper with an average arm, so he profiles best in a corner outfield spot long term.

8. Will Gasparino, OF

Old school: Texas
New school: UCLA

Gasparino entered the transfer portal last week in the wake of a sophomore season that was nearly identical, at least from a production standpoint, to his freshman year. The lanky 6-foot-6 outfielder hit .242/.339/.512 with 14 doubles, a pair of triples, 13 home runs and 49 RBIs.

Gasparino has some of the most tantalizing upside of any college position player in the 2026 class. He can go and get it in center field and has range to either gap, but there are questions about his offensive profile. Gasparino has appealing power upside, but whether or not he’ll make enough contact to get to it in-game on a regular basis is yet to be seen.

Gasparino made some adjustments since last spring and now has a simpler operation with less unnecessary movement. The result was improved contact rates across the board, but he still struggles against secondary offerings and picking up spin out of the hand. Like anyone of Gasparino’s stature, keeping his long levers in sync will always be a challenge. Wherever he lands, Gasparino figures to again man center field in 2026.

9. Garrett Wright, C

Old school: Bowling Green
New school: Tennessee

Wright is fresh off an outstanding sophomore campaign in which he hit .396/.506/.644 with 31 extra-base hits—including 20 doubles—with 48 RBIs and more walks (24) than strikeouts (23). At 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, he has a prototypical catcher’s build with particular strength and physicality in his lower half. He stands fairly tall in the box with an open front side and wraps his bat slightly in his load. Wright has quickness in his hands and stands out for his bat-to-ball skills and general hitability.

This season, Wright ran an 89% overall in-zone contact rate, including 94% against fastballs. He is comfortable using the entire field, though his highest quality of contact comes to the pull side. As a rather impressive cherry on top, Wright is one of three sophomores to have a wRC+ above 150 and a strikeout-percentage below 9.5%. The other two? Roch Cholowsky and Chris Hacopian.

Wright has a solid foundation defensively, headlined by a strong arm. There is some low-hanging fruit to clean up, but he is on track to stick at the position long term.

10. Tomas Valincius, LHP

Old school: Virginia
New school: Mississippi State

Like a handful of players who are (or will be) ranked, Valincius followed new head coach Brian O’Connor from Virginia to Mississippi State.

In his freshman year, Valincius cemented himself as Virginia’s best arm and pitched his way to a 4.59 ERA with 70 strikeouts to just 17 walks in 64.2 innings. He averaged 93.8 mph on a fastball that’s been up to 97 with some arm side life, and his mid-to-upper-80s slider flashes plus with long, lateral break and some sharpness. Valincius’ mid-80s changeup has flashed above-average with arm side fade and late tumble. The two pitches generated consistent swings and misses, especially his slider, which garnered a 44% whiff rate.

Valincius is a plus strike-thrower with a thick, physical build—especially in his lower half—and looks the part of a professional starter.

11. James Nunnallee, OF

Old school: Virginia
New school: Mississippi State

Nunnallee ranked inside the top 10 of our initial freshman rankings this fall and, after a slow start. he hit .296/.407/.401 with 12 doubles, a home run and more walks (18) than strikeouts (13). When coach Brian O’Connor left Virginia and took the Mississippi State job, Nunnallee proceeded to enter the portal and committed to the Bulldogs.

Nunnallee has an ultra-hitterish look in the box, with an advanced feel for the barrel, quick hands and polished approach. He uses the entire field and has shown impressive adjustability in his operation. He has elite bat-to-ball skills and posted a gaudy overall contact rate of 93% with a video game-like in-zone contact rate of 97%.

However, Nunnallee will need to grow into more power and impact. That’s not to say he needs to put on 20-plus pounds, but even adding 10 or 15 could make a meaningful difference.

12. Jake Schaffner, SS

Old school: North Dakota State
New school: North Carolina

In the wake of a standout freshman season and a monster summer in Northwoods League, Schaffner didn’t miss a beat in 2025, hitting a career-high .367/.435/.467 with 15 extra-base hits and 18 stolen bases. He stands out for his bat-to-ball skills and hit ability, and this spring he posted an 88% overall contact rate and 92% overall in-zone contact rate.

Schaffner has a simple, direct swing that is tailored towards moving the baseball. He has some quickness in his hands and does as good job using the entire field. He is an excellent athlete who had a Wisconsin football offer out of high school and is in line to be North Carolina’s everyday shortstop next spring.

13. Joe Tiroly, 2B

Old school: Rider
New school: Virginia

Tiroly enjoyed a productive freshman year in which he hit .284/.420/.525 with 19 extra-base hits and 42 RBIs. He followed suit with a breakout summer in the Perfect Game League and hit .341/.415/.508 with 16 extra-base hits. Tiroly rode that momentum and then some into this spring and posted a .377/.481/.749 slash line with 16 doubles, 18 home runs, 70 RBIs and 36 walks to just 25 strikeouts.

Tiroly has a strong build and stands at six feet, 200 pounds. He has a strong, quick swing with comfortably-plus hand speed. Tiroly’s batted-ball data is impressive, and this spring he had an average exit velocity of 94.8 mph and a 90th-percentile exit velocity of 108.9. He has a high-level feel for the barrel and generates consistent quality contact. Tiroly has no issue pulling the ball in the air, which enables him to optimize his power in-game.

Tiroly figures to take over at second base for new head coach Chris Pollard and the Cavaliers.

14. Alex Sosa, C

Old school: NC State
New school: Miami

Sosa this spring enjoyed a career season to the tune of a .291/.401/.534 line with 16 doubles, 10 home runs and 40 RBIs. He was the Wolfpack’s primary catcher and was in line to assume the same role in 2026, so his portal entry was a surprise.

Sosa has a prototypical catcher’s frame with present pullside thump. His hit tool needs a coat or two of polish—particularly as it pertains to picking up secondaries out of the hand—but there’s some low-hanging fruit to clean up in his operation that could garner positive results.

Behind the dish, Sosa receives well and does a nice job of corralling balls in the dirt. He has an above-average arm, but his footwork could stand to improve.

15. Carson Bailey, LHP

Old school: Baylor
New school: Texas A&M

Bailey this spring was a stalwart within Baylor’s rotation—an impressive feat for any freshman at a Power 4 program—and worked a 4.89 ERA with 56 strikeouts to 21 walks across 53.1 innings. He has an athletic frame with some present thickness in his lower half, though he has room to fill out further. He works exclusively out of the stretch and has a long arm stroke and present arm speed. He attacks out of a three-quarters slot and features a fastball that averaged 93.4 mph, a low-to-mid-80s slider and a mid-80s changeup.

Bailey does a nice job of manipulating the shape of his slider, and it’s effective against both right and lefthanded hitters. Against lefties, it takes on more of a gyro look, though he has shown the ability to back-foot it. Against righties, it has two-plane tilt with more length than depth. Bailey’s changeup has also flashed above-average with late tumble. His slider and “cambio” generated whiff rates of 39% and 35%, respectively.

Bailey recently announced his commitment to in-state rival Texas A&M, where he will compete for the Friday starter role.

16. LJ Mercurius, RHP

Old school: UNLV
New school: Oklahoma

After showing flashes as a freshman, Mercurius took a sizable step forward this season and compiled a 3.57 ERA with 58 strikeouts to 25 walks across 53 innings. Listed at 6-foot-4 and 170 pounds, Mercurius has a high-waisted and projectable frame with room to fill out.

After sitting in the low 90s with his fastball last spring, Mercurius’ heater this season was up to 97 mph with some hop in the top third of the zone. Though his gyro slider is effective, it will need to add sharpness, which figures to come as he fills out. Mercurius completes his arsenal with an above-average, mid-80s changeup that flashes late tumble with some fade. This spring it generated a 41% miss rate.

Mercurius next spring is in line to earn a spot in Oklahoma’s weekend rotation.

17. Jake Marciano, LHP

Old school: Virginia Tech
New school: Auburn

While Marciano’s ERA of 6.08 is unimpressive, he’s a far better pitcher and prospect than that number indicates. Across 14 starts spanning 60.2 innings, he punched out 71 batters and walked just 18.

Marciano has a lean, projectable build and attacks out of a low-three quarters slot. He has a loose, whippy arm stroke and features a low-90s fastball that flashes run and ride through the zone—particularly in the top half. He also uses a high-70s slider that’s an especially tough look against lefties given its lateral life and a low-80s changeup that flashes above-average with late tumble. As Marciano continues to fill out physically, his stuff figures to tick up across the board.

Marciano received plenty of Power 4 interest upon entering the portal, but he eventually committed to Auburn, where he will seamlessly slot into the weekend rotation.

18. Landon Mack, RHP

Old school: Rutgers
New school: Tennessee

The headliner in Rutgers’ 2024 recruiting class, Mack lived up to the hype and then some. He immediately slotted into the Scarlet Knights’ weekend rotation and pitched to a 4.03 ERA with 70 strikeouts to only 17 walks across 80.1 innings. He took on a hefty workload for a freshman, but he proved he was up to the challenge.

An undersized righthander, Mack has an abbreviated, stabby arm stroke and features a low-90s fastball, an effective upper-80s cutter that generated a 30% whiff rate, an upper-70s curveball and a mid-to-upper-80s changeup. His fastball is most effective when located in the top third of the zone, while his cutter flashes late gloveside life. He uses his curveball just 10% of the time, though it flashes two-plane bite with both depth and sharpness.

19. Matt Scott, RHP

Old school: Stanford
New school: Georgia

Scott has been a highly-touted prospect dating back to his days as a prepster. He was never able to put it all together during his three seasons at Stanford, however, and this spring he pitched to a 6.02 ERA with a modest 56 strikeouts across 52.1 innings.

Scott has an extra-large, workhorse frame and stands at an impressive 6-foot-7 and 245 pounds with serious physicality. He has an under control delivery that he repeats well. Scott’s mid-to-high-80s gyro slider is an above-average offering that is effective against both right and lefthanded hitters. It’s a pitch for which he has an advanced feel, and he’s shown the ability to manipulate its shape. Scott’s low-80s split-change is a plus offering that’s a big-time weapon against lefthanded hitters. He does an excellent job of killing spin on it, and it essentially falls off a table as it approaches the plate.

The most alarming trend with Scott has been the regression of his fastball quality. This spring, he averaged just 91.1 mph on the pitch, and it generated a sub-20% miss rate. While it still flashes riding life in the top half of the zone, it was not nearly as impressive in 2025 as it was last season.

20. Jack Arcamone, C

Old school: Richmond
New school: Georgia

2025 was Arcamone’s coming out party, as the sophomore backstop hit .355/.463/.675 with 22 doubles, 13 home runs and 62 RBIs. He set a new career-high in every statistical category and saw his draft stock skyrocket.

Arcamone is a data darling who stands out for his underlying batted-ball data. This spring, he posted an average exit velocity of 92.9 mph and a 90th percentile exit velocity of 108.1 to go along with multiple batted balls with EVs north of 110. Arcamone is consistently on the barrel and generates quality compact. His ability to create leverage and pull the ball in the air helps him maximize his power in-game, a tool he had no problem getting to this spring. As a cherry on top, he has a sound approach and chased at a 25% overall clip.

Arcamone has a strong arm behind the plate, but his overall defensive skillset is crude and needs work.

21. PJ Moutzouridis, SS

Old school: California
New school: Arizona State

Moutzouridis entered the portal following a rather modest season in which he posted a .270/.329/.367 line with 14 extra-base hits, 31 RBIs and 10 stolen bases. Moutzouridis added strength and physicality since last spring—which was something he needed to do—but it hasn’t yet translated to more impact. He does, however, have plus bat-to-ball skills and worked a 92% overall in-zone contact rate.

Moutzouridis is a glove-first shortstop who stands out for his defense. He’s a plus defender at the position and has smooth actions, an advanced internal clock and a strong arm. Moutzouridis is comfortable attacking the baseball and throwing from multiple arm slots, and he’s a slam dunk to stick at the position.

22. Nate Savoie, OF/C

Old school: Loyola Marymount
New school: Clemson

Savoie burst onto the scene as a freshman and hit .300/.384/.675 with 14 doubles, 20 home runs and 61 RBIs en route to taking home West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year honors. Savoie has a strong and athletic frame. He has an aggressive, pull-heavy approach with plus power to the pull-side. Savoie has plus bat speed and above-average bat-to-ball skills, but he will need to shore up his swing decisions. This spring he had an impressive 90th-percentile exit velocity of 108.6 mph and posted multiple exit velocities north of 110. Savoie has no issue pulling the ball in the air which helps him get to his power consistently in-game.

He recently announced his commitment to Clemson and is in line to be a prominent part of the Tigers’ lineup in 2026.

As a cherry on top, his makeup is exceptional and he’s a leader both on and off the field. He figures to be the Sun Devils’ everyday shortstop in 2026.

23. TJ Pompey, SS

Old school: Texas Tech
New school: Arkansas

Pompey’s season was limited to just 19 games, yet he posted a .348/.397/.623 slash line with four doubles, five home runs, 15 RBIs and five stolen bases. Pompey has a long, athletic frame with room to fill out a bit more. He has above-average power to the pull side, but his hit tool—or lack thereof—gives me pause. He made contact at just a 62% overall clip, albeit across a limited sample, and his swing decisions were also a tick below average.

Pompey has enough arm strength to stick on the left side of the infield, but he projects to move off of shortstop.

24. Cole Stokes, RHP

Old school: Oregon
New school: Florida State

After making just eight appearances in 2024, Stokes this season took on a more prominent role and pitched to a 3.10 ERA with an impressive 39 strikeouts across 20.1 innings (24 appearances).

Stokes has a long, loose and whippy arm stroke and attacks from a low-three quarters slot that is borderline sidearm. His fastball has been up to 99 mph with run and ride through the zone, and he pairs it with a plus mid-80s sweeper. The latter routinely flashes ample lateral break and garnered an impressive 58% whiff rate. Not to be outdone, Stokes’ heater also generates its fair share of swings and misses and generated a 31% whiff rate. Stokes has a more advanced feel for his slider than his fastball, and his command is below-average.

He recently announced his commitment to Florida State where he will compete for a spot in the weekend rotation.

25. Jaden Bastian, OF

Old school: Jacksonville
New school: Florida

Bastian entered the portal in the wake of an impressive sophomore season in which he hit .302/.433/.552 with 10 doubles, five triples, 11 home runs and 36 stolen bases.

The 5-foot-10, 180-pound outfielder has a fun toolset. Bastian has a compact frame with strength packed into it, and he has some thump to the pull side with plus bat speed. He has an advanced approach and chased at just a 19% clip, but his speed and athleticism particularly stand out.

Bastian is a comfortably-plus runner and an excellent defender in center field. He has a quick first step to go along with high-level off-the-bat reads and plenty of range in all directions. Bastian takes efficient routes to the baseball and has a knack for being a playmaker.

26. Blaine Brown, 1B/LHP

Old school: Rice
New school: Tennessee

Brown ranked inside the top 450 in last year’s final BA 500 update but arrived on campus without as much fanfare as some of the other players ranked. However, he enjoyed a standout freshman season and hit .292/.362/.493 with 12 doubles, 10 home runs and 38 RBIs.

Brown has an impressive frame with present strength, though he has projection remaining. His swing can get long at times, but he’s flashed power to all fields. Brown struggles picking up spin out of the hand and can get trigger happy against fastballs up and/or out, but his power upside is immense. He’s been used sparingly on the mound, and he profiles best as a corner outfielder where he moves fairly well and has above-average arm strength.

Brown recently announced his commitment to Tennessee where he figures to be a mainstay in the starting nine.

27. Logan Reddemann, RHP

Old school: San Diego
New school: UCLA

Reddemann made a strong first impression last year and worked a 4.01 ERA with 66 strikeouts to just 19 walks in 76.1 innings. He didn’t miss a beat this spring and pitched to a 2.29 ERA with 53 strikeouts against only 12 walks across 55 innings.

The 6-foot-2 righthander moves well on the mound and has a rather deceptive, up-temp motion in which he has an abbreviated arm stroke while attacking from a three-quarters slot. His fastball—which is at its best in the top third of the zone—has been up to 96 mph with some run and ride, though his bread-and-butter pitch is his mid-80s changeup. Reddemann does a nice job of killing spin on it, and he’s comfortable using it against both right and lefthanded hitters. His confidence in the pitch is evident, and it routinely flashes plus with late dive. Reddemann completes his arsenal with a low-80s slider that flashes two-plane tilt.

28. Cameron Bagwell, RHP

Old school: UNCW
New school: Wake Forest

Bagwell announced his presence with authority this spring and worked a 3.07 ERA with 62 strikeouts against just 17 walks across 85 innings. He has a projectable, high-waisted frame with room to fill out. He lacks explosiveness in his delivery, and there’s some low hanging fruit to clean up.

Bagwell isn’t overwhelming from a stuff standpoint, but his arsenal should tick up as he gets stronger and continues to fill out. His fastball sits in the high 80s and has been up to 96 mph, and he supplements it with a low-80s breaking ball and a seldom-used, low-80s changeup.

Bagwell’s developmental path will be fun to follow after announcing his commitment to Wake Forest.

29. Haiden Leffew, LHP

Old school: Wake Forest
New school: Texas

Leffew this season was one of Wake Forest’s most called-upon relievers this spring and pitched to a 4.46 ERA with 59 strikeouts to 18 walks across 34.1 innings. He has a deceptive delivery in which he has a deep arm stroke, and he creates a unique angle with his shoulders. Leffew attacks from a high-three quarters slot, and he features a low-to-mid-90s fastball that flashes carry in the top half of the zone, an effective low-80s curveball and a comfortably-plus low-80s kick change.

Leffew’s kick change is his money-maker, and this spring it generated an outlandish 72% miss rate. It’s a pitch for which he has an advanced feel, and he’s comfortable throwing it to both lefthanded and righthanded hitters. It remains to be seen what Leffew’s role will be in Austin, but he will be a key cog within coach Max Weiner’s pitching staff.

30. Trent Caraway, 3B

Old school: Oregon State
New school: LSU

Caraway is trending towards being drafted and signing, but as a draft-eligible sophomore, his entrance into the portal gives him legitimate leverage. Caraway this spring hit .267/.350/.470 with 15 doubles, 12 home runs and 47 RBIs, but he was excellent in the postseason and hit .325 with six home runs.

Listed at 6-foot-2 and 203 pounds, Caraway has a physical build with natural strength. He has present bat and hand speed, and his barrel accelerates through the hitting zone. He has a pull-oriented approach and has plus power to the pull side, but he also has enough strength to drive the baseball into the right-center field gap.

Caraway will need to shore up his hit tool. Picking up spin out of the hand has been a particular bugaboo, and this spring he posted contact rates of just 58% and 54% against sliders and curveballs, respectively. He has also shown the tendency to expand the strike zone, especially against secondaries.

31. Aiden Robbins, OF

Old school: Seton Hall
New school: Texas

Whether it was at Seton Hall or during summer ball in the Cal Ripken League and Cape Cod League, Robbins has hit at every stop in his collegiate career. This spring, he enjoyed one of the more prominent breakout seasons of any hitter in the country to the tune of a .422/.537/.652 slash line with 30 extra-base hits, 20 stolen bases and 44 walks to just 32 strikeouts.

Robbins has a somewhat unique operation in the box. He breaks into a high leg lift as the pitcher breaks into his own front leg lift, yet he consistently gets his foot down on time and is in a good position to hit. Robbins deploys the same leg lift move in two-strike counts, yet it is far less pronounced. He has plus hand speed and sprays line drives to all fields, but his highest quality of contact comes to the pull side.

Robbins has a polished approach and this spring he chased at just an 18% overall clip. While he struggles to pick up spin out of the hand, Robbins feasts on fastballs. He posted an 89% overall contact rate and 91% in-zone contact rate against all heaters, and 17 of his 30 extra-base hits came against fastballs.

Robbins is a hit-over-power profile, but his 90th percentile exit velocity was 107.8 mph. Getting the ball up in the air more, especially to the pull side, could lead to more in-game power production. Robbins runs well, but perhaps most importantly, he knows how to run and is an effective base stealer.

32. Danny Lachenmayer, LHP

Old school: North Dakota State
New school: LSU

Lachenmayer this spring cemented himself as North Dakota State’s best and most reliable arm, pitching to a 2.37 ERA with 56 strikeouts to 18 walks in 38 innings. Lachenmayer last Thursday announced his commitment to LSU, but 2026 won’t be his first time pitching at Alex Box Stadium. Early this season, Lachenmayer struck out both star freshman Derek Curiel and Luis Hernandez in what ended up being a hard-fought midweek loss for the Bison.

Lachenmayer has a 6-foot-3, 195-pound frame with projection remaining. He attacks from a near over-the-top slot and features a low-90s fastball that’s been up to 95 mph, a mid-80s slider and a mid-80s changeup. Lachenmayer’s heater averaged over 20 inches of ride this spring, and while part of that is due to the natural carry he’s able to generate from his 6-foot-5 release height, the pitch still plays well up in the zone and generated an impressive 37% miss rate.

Lachenmayer also has an advanced feel for a gyro slider that’s effective against both lefthanded and righthanded hitters. His changeup, though seldom-used, flashes consistent tumbling life and projects as a potentially above-average third pitch.

33. Ethan McElvain, LHP

Old school: Vanderbilt
New school: Arkansas

Following an impressive freshman year, McElvain this spring pitched to a 7.24 ERA with 45 strikeouts to 28 walks in 27.1 innings. He posted a career-high strikeout rate, but his command and control took a noticeable step backward.

McElvain has a physical build with a thick lower half. He features a low-to-mid-90s fastball that jumps out of his hand with life through the zone, a mid-80s slider with more sweep than depth and a curveball that can get a bit slurvey in shape. All three garnered whiff rates north of 30%, and his slider and curveball worked a 49% and 40% whiff rate, respectively.

McElvain recently committed to Arkansas where he will be in line to compete for a prominent role.

34. Zach Yorke, 1B

Old school: Grand Canyon
New school: LSU

Yorke opted to enter the transfer portal ahead of the draft in the wake of an impressive junior season in which he hit .339/.447/.632 with 10 doubles, a career-high 13 home runs, 46 RBIs and more walks (35) than strikeouts (28).

He’ll be a DH-only professionally, but Yorke’s hit tool stands out. Yorke’s head stays still throughout his swing, and he takes a direct path to contact with some quickness in his hands. He has a mighty polished approach with plus swing decisions, and this spring he chased at just a 16% clip. Yorke also has an advanced feel for the barrel to go along with plus bat-to-ball skills. His highest quality of contact has consistently come to the pull side, though Yorke has also demonstrated the ability to drive the baseball into the opposite field gap.

35. Brayden Dowd, OF

Old school: Southern California
New school: Florida State

Dowd entered the portal following a standout sophomore season in which he hit .324/.446/.524 with 15 doubles, 10 home runs, 36 RBIs and more walks (46) than strikeouts (43).

The 5-foot-10 outfielder has a good looking swing from the left side in which he has both bat and hand speed. Dowd has a sound approach—though it does come with some chase against secondaries—and generates his highest quality of contact to the pull side. He has solid-average bat-to-ball skills, but he particularly feasts on fastball. This spring, he worked a 91% in-zone contact rate against all heaters.

Wherever he ends up, Dowd figures to hit at or near the top of the order and man a corner outfield spot.

36. Michael DiMartini, OF

Old school: Dayton
New school: Duke

After logging just six at-bats as a freshman at Penn State, DiMartini entered the transfer portal and eventually committed to Dayton. Though his time as a “Fly Boy” was only one season, DiMartini certainly made his mark. He posted a gaudy .403/.465/.685 slash line with 11 doubles, seven triples, 14 home runs and 37 stolen bases. DiMartini has a strong, athletic frame and his toolset enables him to impact the game in a myriad of ways.

DiMartini has plenty of hand speed and uses the middle of the field well, though he has also shown the ability to drive the baseball to the opposite field. He posted a maximum exit velocity of 113 mph and was all over pitches in his “go zone,” but I’ll be curious to see how DiMartini’s hit tool translates in the ACC. He made contact at just a 64% overall clip and also showed the tendency to expand the strike zone. However when he made contact, DiMartini was consistently on the barrel. Dimartini’s speed translates well in the outfield and on the bases.

37. Henry Zatkowski, LHP

Old school: Duke
New school: Virginia

Zatkowski was one of a plethora of Blue Devils who entered the transfer portal and subsequently committed to Virginia. He earned a spot within Duke’s weekend rotation as a freshman and pitched to a 4.83 ERA with 58 strikeouts to just 12 walks across 59.2 innings. Zatkowski attacks from a tough-to-pick-up low three-quarters slot that’s borderline sidearm and features a high-80s-to-low-90s fastball to go along with a mid-70s slider and low-80s changeup.

Zatkowski’s heater features run and ride through the strike zone and is particularly effective in the top half, while his slider flashes long, lateral life and averaged nearly a foot of sweep. It’s his most vaunted swing-and-miss pitch and garnered a 33% miss rate and a 42% chase rate. Zatkowski’s changeup is a solid third option that flashes both tumble and fade.

38. Santi Garcia, LHP

Old school: Oregon
New school: LSU

After logging just 9.1 innings as a freshman, 2025 served as a bit of a coming out party for Garcia who compiled a 4.20 ERA with 40 strikeouts to 19 walks in 30 innings. The southpaw recently enjoyed an outstanding 11-inning stint on the Cape in which he struck out 15, walked five and did not allow a run. Garcia is armed with a three-pitch mix that includes a low-90s fastball that’s been up to 95 mph, but his secondary offerings are his money-makers.

His high-70s-to-low-80s curveball routinely flashes big-time depth and sharp, downward bite, while his low-80s changeup consistently shows late tumble. Between this spring and the Cape, they generated respective miss rates of 44% and 59%.

39. Carter Johnstone, 3B

Old school: Cal State Fullerton
New school: Vanderbilt

Johnstone enjoyed one of the more productive campaigns of any freshman in the country and hit .344/.431/.535 with 24 extra-base hits, 42 RBIs and 30 walks to 30 strikeouts. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound third baseman lacks impact right now, but he’s known for his polished hit tool. Johnstone boasts borderline double-plus bat-to-ball skills and worked a 92% overall in-zone contact rate. He also has a keen eye and advanced pitch recognition skills and chased at just a 17% clip.

Johnstone recently committed to Vanderbilt, where he figures to be a stalwart head coach Tim Corbin’s starting nine.

40. Tyler Lichtenberger, SS

Old school: Appalachian State
New school: Clemson

Lichtenberger burst onto the scene this spring and was named Sun Belt freshman of the year after posting a .341/.410/.468 line with 18 extra-base hits and 37 RBIs. Lichtenberger has above-average bat-to-ball skills, and he particularly feasts on fastballs. Against all heaters, he worked a 93% contact rate. Lichtenberger uses the entire field and has present barrel skills. He has a wiry frame with room to add strength and impact, which is something he’ll look to do both this season and beyond.

41. Bryce Calloway, 1B/RHP

Old school: New Orleans
New school: Georgia

Calloway this season was one of the nation’s best two-way players. He hit .390/.484/.722 with 10 doubles, a pair of triples, 18 home runs and 63 RBIs, while compiling a 4.26 ERA with 23 strikeouts to 11 walks across 25.1 innings.

At 6-foot-5 and 240-pounds, Calloway is a mountain of a man with plenty of strength and physicality. He has big-time bat speed and plus power—especially to the pull side. While Calloway projects as a hitter long term, his fastball sits in the low 90s and has been up to 93 mph to go along with a breaking ball that was an effective secondary offering this spring.

42. Jackson Kircher, RHP

Old school: Oklahoma
New school: Arkansas

Kircher logged just 12.2 innings this spring as a freshman at Oklahoma, but he collected 17 strikeouts. While this might seem like a bullish spot for a player with such a limited track record, I feel confident that Kircher will be an impact arm for Arkansas in 2026.

Kircher is a physical, 6-foot-3, 220-pound righthander whose calling card is undoubtedly his fastball. He threw it 71% of the time this season and still managed to generate a 34% miss rate with it. The pitch sits in the mid 90s, but it’s been up to 99 mph with plus carry in the top half of the zone. Looking more under the hood, Kircher’s average extension of 6-foot-5 also helps the pitch play up. Kircher’s mid-80s curveball flashes some bite, but it’s lacking in the polish department.

43. Jack Moroknek, OF

Old school: Butler
New school: Texas

Moroknek didn’t play as a freshman in 2023, but he posted a .327/.411/.588 line with 28 extra-base hits in 2024 before hitting .372/.443/.702 with 16 doubles, 18 home runs and 57 RBIs this spring. Moroknek’s swing isn’t without some stiffness, and he can get pull-happy at times, but his batted-ball data is appealing. This spring, he posted a 90th percentile exit velocity of 109.4 mph and regularly drove the baseball into either gap.

Moroknek will need to add a coat or two of polish as he transitions into professional baseball, but he does have solid-average contact skills.

44. Brady Frederick, RHP

Old school: East Tennessee State
New school: Tennessee

Frederick took home SoCon pitcher of the year honors after working a 2.67 ERA with 76 strikeouts to 19 walks across 77.2 innings. A true submariner, Frederick’s knuckles are about a foot or so off the ground when he releases the baseball. His low-to-mid-80s fastball essentially plays as a rise ball when he locates it up in the zone, while his mid-70s slider has frisbee-like life to it.

Like he did this spring for East Tennessee State, expect Frederick to again earn a prominent role on Rocky Top.

45. Cal Scolari, RHP

Old school: San Diego
New school: Oregon

Scolari ranked No. 245 on the final iteration of the BA 500, but he has since announced that he will spend this upcoming season in Eugene.

Scolari spent two years recovering from Tommy John surgery, and in his return to the mound, he pitched to a 4.22 ERA with 77 strikeouts to 39 walks across 70.1 innings. A 6-foot-4 righthander, Scolari’s fastball sits in the 91-93 mph range but has been up to 96. His low-80s sweeping slider and firm changeup are his most effective secondary offerings against righthanded and lefthanded hitters, respectively.

Scolari figures to compete for the Friday starter role.

46. Evan Blanco, LHP

Old school: Virginia
New school: Tennessee

Blanco ranked inside the top 250 on the final BA 500 and was a legitimate flight risk to the draft, but head coach Tony Vitello and his staff did an excellent job getting Blanco to remain firm in his commitment to the Vols.

The 6-foot lefthander was a solid performer in each of his first two seasons at Virginia, headlined by an impressive 2024 in which he compiled a 3.62 ERA with 99 strikeouts to 27 walks in 99.1 innings. While this season he posted a 36-to-9 strikeout-to-walk ratio, Blanco missed the start of the season, and his ERA ballooned to 6.23. However, he bounced back with a solid three-start stint on the Cape in which he pitched to a 1.50 ERA across 12 innings.

Blanco is an undersized pitchability specialist whose fastball sits in the low 90s to go along with a slider and changeup that both sit in the low 80s. They’re solid offerings against lefthanded and righthanded hitters, respectively, though Blanco’s stuff is light across the board. He projects to earn a spot in Tennessee’s weekend rotation in 2026.

47. Daniel Pacella, OF

Old school: Illinois State
New school: Ole Miss

Pacella had legitimate top 10 round buzz in this year’s draft, but he went undrafted and will make it to Ole Miss.

A three-year standout at Illinois State, Pacella is a career .331/.408/.631 hitter and is fresh off an impressive 2025 campaign in which he posted a .355/.429/.714 slash line with 19 doubles, 20 home runs and 59 RBIs. At 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds, Pacella has no shortage of strength and physicality. While he struggles against spin, Pacella feasts on heaters and has shown the ability to consistently lift the baseball to the pull side.

He has exclusively played left field at Illinois State, and he figures to do the same at Swayze Field.

48. Cooper Moore, RHP

Old school: Kansas
New school: LSU

Moore was a draft-eligible sophomore and ranked inside the top 430 on the final BA 500, but he recently announced his commitment to the defending national champions.

The 6-foot-1 righty cemented himself as one of Kansas’ most reliable relievers in 2024, but this spring he made the jump into the weekend rotation and compiled a 3.96 ERA with 85 strikeouts to only 19 walks in 88.2 innings. Moore’s fastball has been up to 96 mph with sink, and he has enough pitchability to manipulate its shape. He does a great job killing spin on a changeup he throws almost just as much as his fastball, and he rounds out his arsenal with a low-80s breaking ball.

Moore is an advanced strike-thrower who figures to see his entire arsenal tick up under the guidance of pitching coach Nate Yeskie.

49. Maika Niu, OF

Old school: Marshall
New school: Arkansas

Niu spent two years at New Orleans before transferring to Marshall, where this year he hit .276/.343/.560 with 14 doubles, 15 home runs and new career highs in nearly every major statistical category. Niu has been one of the best players in the Cape League this summer and is currently hitting .345/.409/.643. His seven home runs lead the league, while his 18 RBIs rank second.

Niu has a somewhat unique setup in the box with an inverted front foot and medium-high handset, but he has big-time bat speed and consistently gets off quick, tight turns with his hips. Niu has shown the ability—both with metal and wood—to hammer the baseball to all fields, though his highest quality of contact has come to the pull side. At school, he posted a 90th percentile exit velocity of 106.8 mph, while this summer he has registered multiple triple-digit exit velocities. Picking up spin and seeing shapes out of the hand have both been bugaboos for Niu, and he has shown the tendency to whiff and chase against secondaries.

Niu has consistently turned in plus run times and is a good athlete whose defensive profile is best suited for the outfield. His actions need refining, but his arm strength, speed and athleticism all translate well on the grass.

50. Ryne Farber, SS/2B

Old school: Texas State
New school: Auburn

Farber burst onto the scene as a freshman and hit .340/.466/.468 with 13 extra-base hits, 25 RBIs and a sparkling walk-to-strikeout-ratio of 28-to-9. After a modest sophomore season, Farber has re-captured his freshman year form on the Cape and is hitting .309/.396/.402 with three doubles, two home runs, 15 RBIs and five stolen bases.

A switch-hitter, Farber has a compact, line-drive oriented stroke from both sides of the plate. He has an advanced feel for the barrel, and his bat-to-ball skills are comfortably plus. Farber sprays the ball from pole to pole and does an excellent job of staying within his approach. He pairs his contact skills with advanced pitch recognition skills and excels at seeing spin and picking up shapes out of the hand.

Farber’s instincts and baseball senses are off the charts, which help his tools play up on both sides of the baseball. He is in line to be Auburn’s everyday shortstop in 2026.

51. Aidan Teel, OF

Old school: Virginia
New school: Mississippi State

The younger brother of big leaguer Kyle Teel, Aidan, like many former ‘Hoos, entered the portal and eventually committed to Mississippi State following head coach Brian O’Connor’s departure. He logged just 10 at-bats as a freshman, but stepped into an everyday role in 2025 and hit .317/.442/.538 with 20 doubles, seven home runs, 40 RBIs and more walks (31) than strikeouts (30).

Teel has both advanced bat-to-ball skills and a polished approach, and he consistently stacks quality at-bats. He has an above-average arm in center field, which is where he figures to slot in at Mississippi State, though he could move to a corner spot professionally.

52. Drew Whalen, RHP

Old school: Western Kentucky
New school: Auburn

Whalen was one of the cornerstones of Western Kentucky’s standout pitching staff this spring and compiled a 3.53 ERA with 90 strikeouts to 31 walks across a team-high 81.2 innings. A highly sought-after arm in the portal with plenty of suitors, he eventually committed to Auburn where he’ll compete for a spot in the weekend rotation.

Whalen’s fastball sits in the low 90s and has been up to 96 mph, but his secondaries are his main offerings. His low-80s changeup consistently flashes plus and generated a 50% whiff rate, while his mid-80s slider and mid-70s curveball—which are distinct in shape from one another—garnered whiff rates of 46% and 65%, respectively. Whalen ties his four-pitch mix together with above-average strike-throwing ability.

53. Nolan Stevens, OF

Old school: Mississippi State
New school: Oklahoma

After logging just 26 at-bats as a freshman, Stevens broke out in the NECBL with the Newport Gulls to the tune of a .324/.431/.532 slash line with 16 extra-base hits and 32 RBIs. While his 2025 campaign was limited to 37 games due to an injury, Stevens carried over the momentum he built during the summer and hit .320/.414/.500 with 10 extra-base hits and 21 RBIs.

At 6-foot-4 and 210 pounds, Stevens has a strong and physical build. He has shown the ability to backspin the baseball to all fields, particularly to the pull side, where Stevens has plus power. A former pitcher, Stevens has a plus arm in right field. He’s a power-over-hit profile and will need to shore up his pitch recognition skills, but he has exciting tools and will be an impact bat on what figures to be a strong Oklahoma team in 2026.

54. Alex Philpott, RHP

Old school: Florida
New school: South Carolina

Philpott entered the portal following a modest freshman year in which he posted a 7.30 ERA with a career-high 44 strikeouts across 37 innings. The 6-foot-6 righthander features a three-pitch mix that includes a low-to-mid-90s fastball, mid-80s slider and mid-to-upper-80s changeup. Philpott’s fastball plays well in the top half of the zone thanks to its riding life, while his changeup is his most effective swing-and-miss pitch to the tune of a 32% whiff rate.

Philpott is a solid strike-thrower who is in line to log meaningful innings next spring at South Carolina.

55. Dylan Vigue, RHP

Old school: Michigan
New school: Georgia

The portal wins keep coming for head coach Wes Johnson and company, as Vigue, who ranked No. 372 on the final BA 500 went undrafted and will make his way to Athens.

The 6-foot-4 righthander’s command will evade him at times, and this spring he pitched to a 4.25 ERA with 51 strikeouts to 42 walks across 59.1 innings. Vigue’s fastball has been up to 97 mph with run and sink, and he pairs it with a high-spin, mid-80s sweeper that regularly flashes plus. It generated whiff and chase rates of 43% and 34%, respectively, and averaged over a foot of lateral break. He rounds out his arsenal with a mid-to-upper-80s changeup.

Vigue has significant reliever risk professionally, but it will be exciting to see what Johnson is able to unlock from him during his time at Georgia.

56. Bo Rhudy, RHP

Old school: Kennesaw State
New school: Tennessee

Across two seasons at Kennesaw State, Rhudy established himself as the Owls’ best reliever. In 2025, he pitched to a 3.16 ERA with 44 strikeouts to just five walks across 37 innings. He followed suit with an impressive nine-appearance stint in the Cape League in which he compiled a 2.45 ERA with 12 strikeouts against two walks in 11 innings.

Rhudy threw his fastball a whopping 90% of the time in 2025, but it has “invisi-ball” traits and garnered a 28% miss rate to go along with a 38% chase rate. On top of its plus carry in the top half of the zone, Rhudy has a flat vertical approach angle (-4.27) and a low release height of just 5-foot-4, while the pitch itself averaged over 2,700 rpm. Rhudy rounds out his arsenal with a seldom-used high-70s-to-low-80s slider.

There are some unicorn traits here, and it will be fascinating to follow how he does in the SEC.

57. Elijah Foster, RHP

Old school: Sacred Heart
New school: South Carolina

Foster makes his way to South Carolina by way of Sacred Heart, where in 2025 he pitched to a 5.23 ERA with 76 strikeouts to 53 walks across 72.1 innings.

Foster’s fastball averaged 92 mph, but it was up to 96 and plays well up in the zone. On top of the nearly seven feet of extension Foster is able to generate, he has a relatively flat approach angle. He pairs it with an upper-70s-to-low-80s slider that flashes two-plane tilt with some sharpness, and this spring it garnered a 33% whiff rate. He rounds out his arsenal with a mid-80s changeup that has flashed above-average, and it projects as an effective third pitch.

Foster will need to clean up his command, but he has intriguing pure stuff and it will be interesting to see how he develops at South Carolina.

58. Andrew Wiggins, OF

Old school: Indiana
New school: NC State

Wiggins got off to a blistering start this spring, but his production slowed after a foot injury. Nonetheless, the 6-foot-4, 225-pound outfielder is blessed with a tantalizing set of tools, and—when it all comes together—he looks the part of a potential day-one pick.

Wiggins has a big league body and moves well in the outfield, where his speed and athleticism allow him to cover plenty of ground. He has an above-average arm that profiles well in either center or right field, and he’s expected to handle the former at whichever school he eventually lands. Wiggins has a passive approach and seldom chases, and increasing his swing rate could serve him well.

59. Justin Osterhouse, 3B

Old school: Purdue-Fort Wayne
New school: Alabama

Osterhouse burst onto the scene as a freshman and posted a .355/.424/.609 line with 17 extra-base hits and 38 RBIs. He picked up right where he left off this spring and hit .328/.453/.636 with 10 doubles, 16 home runs and 46 RBIs—all of which were new career highs for the sophomore third baseman.

Osterhouse has a strong build with a particularly physical lower half. His bat-to-ball skills, pullside power and arm are all above-average. Osterhouse is in the midst of a productive summer on the Cape, and he is in line to be an impact player for the Crimson Tide in 2026.

60. Erik Paulsen, 1B/LHP

Old school: Stony Brook
New school: North Carolina

A two-year standout at Stony Brook, Paulsen entered the portal following a career year in which he hit .358/.452/.585 with 17 doubles, nine home runs, 44 RBIs and 25 walks to just 12 strikeouts.

Paulsen has a polished approach to go along with advanced swing decisions and plus bat-to-ball skills. He boasted an 87% overall contact rate—including a 90% in-zone contact rate—and has above-average power to the pull side. Paulsen logged 9.2 innings on the mound this spring, but he figures to handle first base in 2026 for the Tar Heels.

61. Brodie Purcell, RHP

Old school: Southern California
New school: Florida State

It felt as if Purcell’s entrance into the portal came without a whole lot of fanfare, but he has a chance to be one of the best relievers in this year’s transfer class.

He logged 31 strikeouts across 29 innings as a freshman, but his standout summer in the Alaska League (10 appearances, 0.63 ERA) was a harbinger for this spring. Purcell was Southern California’s most trusted bullpen arm, and across 42.2 innings (27 appearances), he compiled a 2.11 ERA with 51 strikeouts to 19 walks.

Purcell’s fastball sits in the low 90s, but it plays well in the top half of the zone thanks to its riding life, as it averaged over 20 inches of IVB this spring. While Purcell’s fastball is effective, his secondaries are his primary offerings. His low-80s gyro slider flashes sharpness and generated a 53% miss rate, while his mid-80s changeup routinely showed late tumble and solid fade to the arm side. They’re most effective against righthanded and lefthanded hitters, respectively, and Purcell is consistently around the strike zone.

62. Owen Kelly, RHP

Old school: St. Louis
New school: Ole Miss

Kelly showed flashes as a freshman, but he stepped into a weekend role this spring and pitched to a 4.61 ERA with 78 strikeouts to 29 walks across 80 innings.

A 6-foot-3 righthander, Kelly relies heavily on his fastball-slider combination. The former sits in the low 90s and has been up to 95 mph with some armside life, while the latter is a low-80s sweeper that generated a 36% miss rate. Kelly rounds out his arsenal with a mid-80s changeup he threw just 8% of the time, though it could be a fine third pitch when all is said and done.

Kelly’s above-average control and effective sweeper are solid building blocks, and he will compete for a spot in Ole Miss’ weekend rotation.

63. Russell Sandefer, RHP

Old school: Central Florida
New school: Florida

Sandefer spent his freshman year at Division II Saint Leo before transferring to Central Florida where this spring he posted a 3.38 ERA with 49 strikeouts to 19 walks across 50.2 innings.

Sandefer has a live arm, and his fastball sits in the low-to-mid 90s and has been up to 99 mph with armside life. His low-to-mid-80s sweeper is a high-spin pitch that flashes plus and generated a 47% miss rate. Sandefer completes his arsenal with a low-to-mid-80s changeup that routinely flashes solid fade to the arm side with a bit of tumble. Sandefer is an above-average strike-thrower who consistently competes in and around the zone.

64. Dylan Loy, LHP

Old school: Tennessee
New school: Georgia Tech

Loy was used predominantly as a reliever across his two-year stint at Tennessee, pitching to a 3.22 career ERA with 73 walks to 21 strikeouts across 64.1 total innings.

Loy is a 6-foot, 194-pound southpaw who relies heavily on his fastball-breaking ball combination. His heater sits in the upper 80s and has been up to 91 mph while flashing solid carry through the zone. Loy’s mid-to-upper-70s slurvey breaking ball is his most effective swing-and-miss offering, and it’s a pitch for which he has a solid feel.

Loy will be a valuable addition to Georgia Tech’s pitching staff, and he figures to be one of first-year head coach James Ramsey’s most called upon relievers.

65. Mason Bixby, RHP

Old school: TCU
New school: Oklahoma

Across a fairly-limited sample size last year, Bixby compiled a 4.50 ERA with 26 strikeouts in 18 innings. He didn’t quite enjoy the same amount of success this spring, pitching to a 5.89 ERA with 24 strikeouts to 20 walks across 18.1 innings.

Bixby has an impressive, high-waisted frame with present strength in his lower half. He works exclusively out of the stretch and has a somewhat deceptive delivery featuring an ultra-short arm stroke. Bixby has big-time arm strength, and his calling card is a mid-to-upper-90s fastball that flashes carry in the top half of the zone. He pairs his heater with a budding high-80s slider that has flashed sharp, late gloveside life. Bixby’s command and control are a work in progress.

66. Logen Devenport, OF

Old school: Northern Kentucky
New school: Alabama

After spending his freshman year as a reliever, Devenport converted to the outfield and established himself as one of Northern Kentucky’s better offensive players. This spring, he posted a gaudy .423/.533/.786 slash line with 19 doubles, 14 home runs, 54 RBIs and 19 stolen bases.

Devenport has a strong build and has shown the ability to drive the baseball with authority to all fields. Hr also has above-average bat-to-ball skills and a solid approach, and he did a nice job of cutting down on his swing-and-miss since last season.

67. Connor Mattison, RHP

Old school: Grand Canyon
New school: Kentucky

Mattison made waves during a freshman year in which he earned a weekend starter role and notched 80 strikeouts across 60.1 innings. However, he wasn’t used as much this spring and logged just 33.1 innings. Nonetheless, Mattison managed to collect 41 strikeouts and surrender just 10 walks.

A 6-foot-2 righthander, Mattison’s fastball has been up to 94 mph, but his calling card is his borderline double-plus changeup. It averaged 13 mph off his heater and flashes big-time tumble. His cambio essentially falls off a table as it approaches the plate, and it’s an effective offering against both righthanded and lefthanded hitters. His slider is a distant third offering.

Mattison competes well and has a fiery mound presence, and it will be interesting to see what he’s able to do in the SEC.

68. Jayce Tharnish, OF

Old school: St. Bonaventure
New school: Kentucky

Following rather modest freshman and sophomore seasons, Tharnish enjoyed a massive breakout campaign in 2025 to the tune of a .403/.461/.597 slash line with 21 extra-base hits, 29 RBIs and 32 stolen bases.

At 6-foot-3 and 190-pounds, Tharnish is a dynamic athlete with quickness in his hands, and he can cover plenty of ground in center field. While his impact is light, Tharnish has advanced contact skills. Tharnish’s hitability and speed—particularly on the basepaths—make him a valuable player, and he could hit at or near the top of the order for Kentucky next spring.

69. Dawson Montesa, RHP

Old school: Adelphi
New school: West Virginia

Montesa was one of the best Division-II pitchers in the country this spring and compiled a 1.99 ERA with 105 strikeouts against just 24 walks across 72.1 innings. He subsequently entered the portal and had a plethora of prominent suitors before eventually committing to West Virginia, where he figures to slot into the weekend rotation. This summer, Montesa is pitching in the New England Collegiate League and through four appearances (11 innings) he has a 0.82 ERA with 17 strikeouts to just one walk.

At 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, Montesa has a lean and somewhat high-waisted frame with room to fill out. He has a quick arm stroke and attacks from a three-quarters slot. Montesa features a three-pitch mix that includes a low-90s fastball, a mid-to-upper-70s curveball and a mid-80s split-change. Montesa’s heater has been up to 94 mph with life in the top half of the zone, though his secondaries are his bread-and-butter pitches. Montesa’s curveball will flash impressive depth with sharp, downward bite, while his split-change flashes fade and late tumble.

Montesa is an advanced strike-thrower and it will be exciting to follow his development—both from a body and stuff standpoint—at a Power 4 program.

70. Ty Dalley, OF

Old school: Mercer
New school: Clemson

Dalley enjoyed a standout career at Mercer in which he hit .284/.369/.627 with 48 doubles, a program-record 58 home runs and 188 RBIs. He hit at least 18 home runs and drove in at least 55 runs in each of his three seasons and had legitimate draft buzz this year. While Dalley could have signed if he wanted to, he remained firm in his commitment to Clemson.

He’s an aggressive hitter with a violent, “effort-y” lefthanded swing with big-time power to the pull side. Dalley is an undoubtedly power-over-hit profile, though he’ll provide middle-of-the-order thump for head coach Erik Bakich and the Tigers in 2026.

71. Ben Slanker, OF

Old school: Ohio
New school: Louisville

Slanker entered the portal following a career year in which he hit .302/.422/.720 with nine doubles, 21 home runs and 69 RBIs en route to a first team all-MAC selection. Slanker has a pull-oriented approach to go along with sound swing decisions and average bat-to-ball skills. He has a strong lefthanded swing with present bat speed, and he flashes plus power to the pull side.

Following the departures of Eddie King Jr. and Garret Pike, Slanker figures to be an everyday corner outfielder for Louisville in 2026.

72. Zack Stewart, OF

Old school: Missouri State
New school: Arkansas

Stewart ranked as a top 150 player in 2024 and again had draft interest in 2025, but he went undrafted and will make his way to Fayetteville. Following a career year in 2024, Stewart’s production took a bit of a step back in 2025, but he still managed to hit .269/.371/.495 with eight doubles, 11 home runs and 31 RBIs.

Stewart is a 6-foot-2, 225-pound outfielder and lefthanded hitter who stands out for his physicality, impact and power upside. He has big-time bat speed, but his steep swing is accompanied by significant contact questions.

73. Tyler Pitzer, RHP

Old school: South Carolina
New school: Mississippi State

In the wake of an impressive freshman year, Pitzer took a bit of a step back this spring and posted a 6.99 ERA with a modest strikeout-to-walk ratio of 32-to-28 across 28.1 innings. However, he’s returned to form and then some this summer on the Cape. He’s currently the leader in the clubhouse to take home CCBL pitcher of the ear honors, as he’s pitched to a minuscule 0.37 ERA with 35 strikeouts to nine walks across 24.1 innings.

Pitzer pitches off his low-80s slider, and this summer it’s a pitch for which he’s demonstrated an advanced feel. He throws it 43% of the time, and it’s generated whiff and chase rates of 50% and 39%, respectively. Pitzer’s fastball sits in the low 90s, but it flashes solid life in the top half of the zone.

I fully expect the righthander to cement himself as a trusted reliever in Starkville.

74. Gabe Nard, RHP

Old school: Duke
New school: Florida State

Nard was Duke’s go-to reliever this spring, and across 29 appearances that spanned 50.2 innings, he compiled a 4.62 ERA with 45 strikeouts to 17 walks. Nard’s fastball has been up to 95 mph with natural run and sink, while his low-80s sweeper averaged almost a foot of lateral break and garnered a 30% whiff rate. He has a low-effort, under control delivery and pounds the strike zone.

Nard could be deployed as a starter this spring, though he’s most effective in a bullpen role.

75. Drew Wyers, 3B/SS

Old school: Bryant
New school: Mississippi State

After stops at both Stetson and Manhattan, Wyers this spring enjoyed a breakout year at Bryant to the tune of a .407/.521/.710 slash line with 11 doubles, 11 home runs, 50 RBIs and 26 walks to just 17 strikeouts.

Wyers has a pull-oriented approach to go along with above-average bat-to-ball skills and polished swing decisions. He had plenty of draft interest and could have signed if he wanted to, but he’ll instead make his way to Mississippi State. Wyers can play anywhere on the infield, though most of his reps have come at third base to this point.

76. Boston Torres, OF

Old school: VMI
New school: Wake Forest

Formerly of Cedarville University (D-II), Torres transferred to VMI and enjoyed a standout sophomore season in which he hit .337/.465/.580 with 14 doubles, 11 home runs, 67 RBIs and 45 walks to 37 strikeouts.

A 5-foot-9 outfielder, Torres stands out for his offensive chops. This spring, he flashed the ability to drive the baseball into either gap while also demonstrating an advanced feel for the barrel. Torres has above-average bat-to-ball skills to go along with a polished approach and plus swing decisions.

He projects as an every day member of Wake Forest’s lineup and could be an impact bat towards the top of the order.

77. Dean Toigo, OF

Old school: UNLV
New school: Arizona State

Toigo was named Mountain West co-player of the year following a career season in which he hit .377/.445/.682 with 13 doubles, 18 long balls and 74 RBIs across 54 games.

Toigo has a unique setup in the box, but it works for him. He’s flashed plus power to the pull side, and it’s a tool that figures to translate well to the hitter-friendly confines of Phoenix Municipal Stadium. While Toigo struggles to both make contact and stay in the zone against secondaries, he feasts on fastballs. This spring, he posted a .439/.473/.789 slash line with 20 extra-base hits against all heaters.

Toigo is one of a handful of impactful transfers for Arizona State, and he looks every bit the part of a middle-of-the-order bat for the Sun Devils in 2026.

78. Temo Becerra, SS/3B

Old school: Stanford
New school: Texas

Becerra entered the portal following four years at Stanford, headlined by a career season in 2025 in which he logged a .330/.384/.427 slash line with 14 extra-base hits and 37 RBIs. While Becerra was the Cardinal’s everyday shortstop in 2025, he can play anywhere on the dirt and has an above-average arm on the left side of the infield.

What Becerra lacks in impact he somewhat makes up for with plus bat-to-ball skills, and this spring he posted a 90% overall in-zone contact rate, including 94% against fastballs. He brings a wealth of experience to Austin and will be a valuable addition to Jim Schlossnagle’s program.

79. Karson Bowen, C

Old school: TCU
New school: Florida

Outside of a down 2024, Bowen put together a productive three-year stint at TCU that was headlined by an impressive freshman year campaign in which he hit .350/.420/.502 with 21 extra-base hits and 46 RBIs.

Bowen has a prototypical catcher’s build and boasts above-average bat-to-ball skills to go along with a sound approach. His power is far more tailored towards driving the ball in the gap than it is over the fence.

Bowen has a solid arm behind the plate and figures to handle the catching duties next spring at Florida.

80. Caden Aoki, RHP

Old school: Southern California
New school: Georgia

Aoki heads to Georgia following four years between Notre Dame and Southern California. He’s one of the best strike-throwers in the country, and he’s compiled a 3.68 career ERA with 202 strikeouts to only 46 walks across 222.2 innings.

Aoki features a four-pitch mix that includes an upper-80s fastball, low-80s changeup, low-80s slider and upper-70s curveball. Unsurprisingly, Aoki’s heater doesn’t generate a whole lot of empty swings, but both his slider and change garnered whiff rates north of 30%.

Aoki’s ability to command his entire arsenal helps compensate for the lack of pure stuff, and he is in the mix to earn a spot within Georgia’s weekend rotation.

81. Owen Hull, OF

Old school: George Mason
New school: North Carolina

Hull is transferring to North Carolina following a standout season in which he hit .367/.474/.557 with 15 doubles, eight home runs, 63 RBIs and 42 stolen bases en route to a second-team all-conference selection. He has a lean, athletic frame with an intriguing toolset. He has both present bat and hand speed, feasts on fastballs and is a plus runner. While his hit tool—particularly his pitch recognition skills—need a coat of polish, it didn’t hinder Hull’s production this past spring.

North Carolina has hit on a number of older, more experienced outfielders in the portal, and Hull could be next in line.

82. Lance Davis, RHP

Old school: Arkansas
New school: TCU

There’s a chance Davis is the biggest sleeper on this list. After not logging a single inning this spring at Arkansas, Davis opened eyes on the Cape, pitching to a 4.08 ERA with 24 strikeouts against just four walks across 17.2 innings en route to an all-star selection.

The 6-foot-4 righthander relies heavily on his fastball-slider combination. His fastball sits in the 92-95 mph range but has been up to 97 with run and sink, while his low-to-mid-80s slider flashes two-plane tilt. Davis rounds out his arsenal with a mid-to-upper-80s changeup that is a solid third option against lefthanded hitters.

83. Ryan Zuckerman, 3B

Old school: Pittsburgh
New school: Georgia Tech

Zuckerman was already a solid contributor as a freshman, and he took a step forward this spring and hit .295/.382/.555 with 16 doubles, 13 home runs and 48 RBIs. He’s carried that momentum into the summer, and across 14 games on the Cape Zuckerman has posted a .295/.415/.500 slash line with a pair of long balls and seven RBIs.

At 6-foot-4 and 215 pounds, Zuckerman has a pro body. He stands out for his ability to impact the baseball, yet his hit tool lacks polish. While he fares well against fastballs, Zuckerman struggles mightily against spin. There’s no shortage of swing-and-miss, and it’s something he’ll need to shore up both this season at Georgia Tech and in pro ball.

The Yellow Jackets have a wealth of talent, but Zuckerman will be in the mix for the starting third base job.

84. Ryan Bilka, RHP

Old school: Richmond
New school: Miami

After spending his first two seasons at Wagner, Bilka spent his junior year at Richmond and was a mainstay within the Spiders’ bullpen. He logged 62 innings across 18 appearances and pitched to a 2.18 ERA with 57 strikeouts to just 13 walks. He followed suit with an impressive summer stint on the Cape to the tune of a 2.19 ERA with 15 strikeouts against only three walks across 12.1 innings.

Bilka’s fastball has been up to 95 mph, and he pairs it with a low-80s slider and a low-80s changeup. He does a nice job of killing spin on his changeup and uses each of his secondaries against both righthanded and lefthanded hitters. Bilka is an advanced strike-thrower, though he’s most effective in a bullpen role.

85. Vytas Valincius, OF

Old school: Illinois
New school: Mississippi State

Valincius began his career at South Carolina, but transferred to Illinois where he’s spent the last two seasons. He drove in 50 runs as a sophomore in 2024, but took his production to new heights this spring and hit .348/.434/.520 with 14 doubles, seven home runs and 58 RBIs. Additionally, Valincius walked (33) more than he struck out (28). A strong-bodied outfielder, Valincius pairs his pull side impact with solid bat-to-ball skills and a sound approach. He figures to be a quality depth piece next spring on a Mississippi State team that figures to compete for a national championship.

86. Wesley Jordan, OF

Old school: Baylor
New school: Texas A&M

After a two-year career at Baylor, Jordan will transfer to Lone Star State counterpart Texas A&M. He was a mainstay in the Bears’ lineup in both 2024 and 2025, though he was more productive in the latter and hit .308/.396/.564 with 18 doubles, 10 home runs and 41 RBIs—all of which were new career highs.

Jordan has a strong, physical build and is armed with a pull-oriented approach. While he struggles against spin at times, Jordan has a knack for pulling the ball in the air and jumping on pitches in his “go zone.” In what is a mighty important year in Aggieland, expect Jordan to be a valuable piece of the puzzle.

87. Tyler Cerny, SS/2B

Old school: Indiana
New school: Kentucky

Cerny has been a “steady Eddie” performer over the course of his first three seasons, posting a career slash line of .292/.371/.511 with 47 doubles and 30 home runs. Cerny’s 2024 campaign has been the best of the bunch, and he hit .315/.378/.525 with 24 doubles, 10 home runs and 60 RBIs.

He enjoyed a productive summer in the MLB Draft League to the tune of a .341/.429/.495 slash line with 11 extra-base hits, and he’ll look to carry that momentum over to this spring. Cerny has solid actions on the dirt and figures to handle second base at Kentucky.

88. Lucas Hartman, RHP

Old school: Western Kentucky
New school: Virginia

This spring marked Hartman’s third school in as many seasons—and this was his best stop yet. Hartman was one of Western Kentucky’s most reliable relievers, pitching to a 2.70 ERA with a career-high 62 strikeouts to 22 walks across 53.1 innings.

A physical, undersized righthander, Hartman features an upper-80s-to-low-90s fastball, low-to-mid-80s changeup and an upper-70s-to-low-80s curveball. His heater flashes solid gloveside life, while his changeup is a comfortably above-average offering that garnered a 49% miss rate.

89. Ethan Lizama, OF

Old school: Western Kentucky
New school: South Carolina

Lizama began his career at Gulf Coast (Fla.) JC before transferring to Western Kentucky where he enjoyed a quality two-year stint. Lizama’s 2025 season was the best of his career, and he hit .336/.407/.646 with 18 doubles, 15 home runs and 60 RBIs.

Lizama has present bat speed to go along with an uphill swing path that’s geared towards getting the ball up in the air. He’s flashed above-average power to the pull side, which is also where his highest quality of contact comes from. While Lizama is a bit of a free swinger at times, he has solid bat-to-ball skills.

He will compete this fall for a starting job in South Carolina’s outfield.

90. Ty Mainolfi, 2B

Old school: Dayton
New school: Boston College

Mainolfi opted to enter the portal following a strong freshman season in which he hit .304/.409/.473 with 10 doubles, seven home runs and 34 RBIs. He hasn’t missed a beat this summer and is currently hitting .393/.482/.491 with nine extra-base hits, 28 RBIs and 21 walks to just 11 strikeouts across 33 games in the New England Collegiate League.

Mainolfi has a hitterish look in the box with a high handset and quickness in his hands. He has a present feel for the barrel and a knack for using the entire field. Mainolfi’s bat-to-ball skills are comfortably plus, and this spring he boasted a 94% in-zone contact rate, including 97% against fastballs.

On top of his hittability, Mainolfi has a high-level approach and advanced pitch recognition skills. He chased at just a 17% overall clip, and very few of his swings came outside the “shadow zone” on Synergy.

Mainolfi next spring figures to be Boston College’s everyday second baseman and hit at or near the top of the lineup.

91. Seth Dardar, 1B

Old school: Kansas State
New school: LSU

A former Columbia Lion, Dardar made his mark in his lone season at Kansas State and hit .326/.429/.636 with 18 doubles, 13 home runs and 45 RBIs. Dardar is a strong and physical lefthanded hitter with above-average bat speed.

Since arriving on campus at Columbia in 2022, Dardar has blossomed into a productive college hitter. He demonstrated this year the ability to generate quality contact to all fields, though his power is accompanied by a bit of swing-and-miss. Nonetheless, Dardar returns to his home state of Louisiana for his final year of eligibility and will look to provide some thump to the defending national champions’ lineup.

92. Reese Moore, C

Old school: Iowa
New school: South Carolina

Following a productive freshman season, Moore picked up right where he left off and hit .304/.436/.546 with 27 extra-base hits and 45 RBIs in 2025. He was a key cog in Iowa’s lineup and posted new career-highs in every major statistical category.

Moore has a pull-oriented approach, and his highest quality of contact comes to the pull side, though he’s shown he’s capable of driving the baseball into the opposite field gap, as well. His defensive skillset needs a coat or two of polish, though whether it’s behind the dish or as a designated hitter, Moore figures to be a key piece within South Carolina’s lineup in 2026.

93. John Smith III, OF

Old school: South Alabama
New school: Central Florida

Smith spent two seasons at Pensacola State (Fla.) before transferring to South Alabama where he hit .314/.412/.466 with eight doubles, seven home runs and 30 RBIs. The 6-foot-1 outfielder has some thump to the pull side and above-average bat-to-ball skills, but he’ll struggle against secondaries.

Smith III is a fringe-average runner and figures to man a corner outfield spot for Central Florida next spring.

94. Kole Klecker, RHP

Old school: TCU
New school: Arizona State

Klecker made a name for himself as a freshman after pitching to a 10-4 record with a 3.72 ERA across a team-high 96.2 innings. However, he took a bit of a step back in 2024, and his 2025 season was limited to just 19.1 innings due to an oblique injury.

Klecker is a “pitchability over stuff” righthander who features a low-90s fastball that’s been up to 95 mph, a low-80s slider, a mid-80s changeup and an upper-70s curveball. None of them generated consistent whiffs in 2025, and he now heads to Arizona State where he’ll look to recapture his freshman year form.

95. Hudson Barrett, LHP

Old school: UC Santa Barbara
New school: Oklahoma State

Barrett exploded onto the scene as a freshman in 2023 and pitched to a 1.92 ERA with 82 strikeouts against 32 walks across 61 innings. However, he threw just 2.1 innings in 2024 before going down with an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery.

While he returned to the mound in 2025, Barrett’s season was limited to just 4.2 innings. However, he struck out five, walked none and allowed only one run. Barrett followed suit with a strong start in the California Collegiate League in which he notched six strikeouts across four shutout innings.

Barrett’s fastball sits in the low 90s and has been up to 95 mph. His best pitch is an 82-85 mph changeup that has flashed plus, and he rounds out his arsenal with a sweepy slider.

He could be an effective bullpen option for the Cowboys in 2026.

96. Andrew Middleton, LHP

Old school: Massachusetts
New school: West Virginia

Middleton is one of—if not the most—fascinating players in the transfer portal. His season was limited to just 11.2 innings due to an arm injury, but Middleton managed to log a whopping 29 strikeouts—albeit against 11 walks—while allowing just one hit and no runs.

His fastball sits in the high 80s/low 90s but routinely registered 20-plus inches of induced vertical break and consistently got above the barrel of opposing hitters. Middleton generated a 50% whiff rate with the pitch this spring, and he supplements it with a mid-70s curveball that flashes impressive depth and downward tilt.

Middleton’s pitchability—or lack thereof—and health are two concerns, but he could be in line for a breakout campaign if he’s able to stay on the mound.

97. Grant Gallagher, 3B

Old school: East Tennessee State
New school: Kansas State

Following two seasons at Santa Fe (Fla.) JC, Gallagher transferred to East Tennessee State and hit .276/.473/.665 with 11 doubles, 20 home runs and 49 RBIs.

Gallagher is a bit undersized at 5-foot-10 and 176 pounds, but he has impressive pullside power packed into his frame. On top of his pullside impact, Gallagher’s swing decisions are plus, and he chased at just a 14% clip. An average athlete, Gallagher has the arm strength to potentially stick at third base.

98. Brylan West, 1B

Old school: Florida International
New school: Miami

West began his career at South Florida State College (Fla.) JC before transferring to Florida International. In the wake of a productive 2024, West didn’t miss a beat in 2025 and hit .338/.432/.547 with nine doubles, a career-high 12 home runs and 29 RBIs.

At 6-foot-4 and 233 pounds, West has a hulking frame with impressive impact, particularly to the pull side. While he’s relegated to first base defensively, West’s bat is enough to warrant a spot in the starting nine.

99. Ryan Ure, LHP

Old school: Oklahoma State
New school: Virginia

Ure has been drafted twice—both out of high school in 2021 and in 2024—but he failed to sign each time. After showing flashes in his freshman year—particularly during his summer on the Cape—Ure was sidelined for all of 2023 due to Tommy John surgery. He threw just 3.2 innings in 2024, but logged a career-high 23 innings this spring with a career-best 28 strikeouts.

At 6-foot-8 and 235 pounds, Ure has an imposing mound presence. His fastball has been into the upper 90s, but this spring it sat more in the low 90s. While his command is still a work-in-progress, it took a step in the right direction this season. Ure completes his arsenal with a mid-80s slider and a mid-to-upper-80s changeup.

100. Drew Rerick, RHP

Old school: Texas
New school: Oklahoma

Rerick was one of the more highly touted recruits in Texas’ 2024 class to make it to campus, yet he logged just seven innings across as many appearances. The results were mixed, as Rerick walked 11. Rerick has some effort in his delivery and attacks from a high three-quarters slot. His fastball sits in the 92-95 range, but it’s been up to 97 with riding life at the top of the zone. In addition to his heater, Rerick mixes in two breaking balls in a harder slider and a slower curveball that pops out of his hand at times. The former is better than the latter, and Rerick rounds out his arsenal with a mid-80s changeup. Look for Rerick to step into a more elevated role next spring at Oklahoma.
