I think Teel is the next college hitter to be selected, then Gonzo or Troy. But, if it were me, I'd go with YoYo.

Which college team is going to have their 2024 recruiting class gutted the most during the draft? I'm guessing Arkansas, but your thoughts?

Love the @Angels taking @FAUBaseball 1B Nolan Schanuel No. 11 overall. Schanuel was insane this season for the Owls, and he can play multiple positions as well. Schanuel hit .444 with 19 homers, 64 RBIs and had an insane 1.476 OPS this past season.

The @Dbacks take @StanfordBSB infielder Tommy Troy No. 12 overall. Troy had a good 2022 campaign, and he had an amazing 2023 campaign with a more advanced approach. Big power and drew a lot more walks this past spring.

why is Teel “falling”, from your POV? I struggle to imagine a high school catcher or some of these other college hitters have his floor
DSeif

I agree with you, who has a higher ceiling, especially with such low risk than Teel? He belonged in the top 10, maybe it's a signability thing, that would be my best guess.

Why is Twitter going crazy saying Chase got burned by going to Colorado and that it will hurt his pitching? Is that an altitude thing?

Dollander rides his 4-seamer more than sinks a 2-seamer. Tough to be a fly ball pitcher in Denver.

The @whitesox getting @OleMissBSB SS Jacob Gonzalez is a great pick. Gonzalez has big power and you will be hard-pressed to find a more steady defender at the shortstop position.

The @Orioles
get one of the more exciting players in college baseball in @VandyBoys
OF Enrique Bradfield Jr. Insanely fast, incredible defender and I'm a believer in the bat at the next level. Fantastic makeup as well.

No. 13 on our College T150:

Had a feeling the @Brewers were going Brayden Taylor or Brock Wilken there -- and they go with Wilken, who had an incredible 2023 campaign for the #Deacs. Huge power and had a ridiculous OPS in '23.

No. 15 in our T150: https://d1baseball.com/prospects/2023-mlb-draft-top-150-college-prospe...

What is happening with Brayden Taylor? I don’t recall anybody having Wilken going before him.
Kendall Rogers
7:42
I would have Taylor ahead of Wilken on my board -- but he's also an incredible overall player as well. Can't go wrong with either. I'd put $$$ on Taylor being the better pro. We will see.
Kendall Rogers
7:47
There goes my man Brayden Taylor.  @RaysBaseball get a great one in the @TCU_Baseball corner infielder. Taylor has a massive ceiling with big-time pop in that wiry frame of his. Taylor made BIG improvements defensively the last two seasons.

No. 10 on our T150: https://d1baseball.com/prospects/2023-mlb-draft-top-150-college-prospe...

Emerson to Guardians at 23?
Shooter Hunt
7:48
That felt like a slam dunk to start the night, but there are a LOT of big high school names still on the board. Teams seem to be snagging the safer college guys with the first pick which likely means we will see some big money dishing out to guys going later in the night. Emerson still fits great at #23 though.
Dan

Is there any concerns with Tennessees recruiting class getting hurt tonight? Or their transfer pickups? Maybe Gelanie?
DSeif
7:57
Galanie is more Day 2 than a pick for tonight. I think he makes it to Knoxville. Rest assured any losses to the draft will be more than made up from the portal. Vitello never rests.
Kendall Rogers
7:57
The @Cardinals
get a premier bat in @ArizonaBaseball
OF Chase Davis. Davis hit light tower homers all-season long, but the most impressive part of his game were the improvements in BB:K ratio. More complete hitter now.

No. 17 in the D150: https://d1baseball.com/prospects/2023-mlb-draft-top-150-college-prospects/

Some notable players not yet selected:
6 Yoyo Morales, Miami, 7 Hurston Waldrep, Florida, 18 Josh Rivera, Florida, 19 Jack Hurley, Virginia Tech.

What's up with Yohany Morales?
Kendall Rogers
8:28
Great question. Kind of mind blowing he has dropped in the draft as our No. 6 overall player in the college class. Good defender with a great approach and massive raw power. There's nothing to dislike in his game, IMO.

As a DBU fan- any chance James Ellwanger makes it to campus?
Shooter Hunt
8:43
I don't...the helium was too much late in the spring, and he seems pretty well set for picks 30-50. Also doesn't help that pitching coach Micah Posey headed to FSU...
