Just two months to go until the 2022 MLB Draft. Things are becoming clear. Some high school hitters are surging while college performers remain steady at the top. There’s much more safety (if there is such a thing) in the first round this year in the form of college bats. Injured college pitchers continue to represent one of the best “values” teams can land at the back-half of day one. As always, our lists are carried by three pillars:
Our team’s Live Looks. We’ve got every corner of the country covered. Our film.
Trackman, Rapsodo and data evaluation.
Conversations within the industry; What are scouting executives, cross-checkers and scouts seeing at the ballfields?
This Top 500 really reinforces a few things we’ve always believed…
Druw Jones is simply a cut above the rest for us. That’s not to say he’ll be the first pick, but we feel strongly the ceiling here is immense.
This college crop of hitters is good. And pretty deep.
Injuries have sabotaged this college pitching class, at least at the top, but it’s still a good group, despite lacking headliners.
The high school pitching in this class has the potential to be one of the stronger groups in recent memory.
