Five Round Mock Draft


1. Detroit Tigers | Spencer Torkelson, 1b, Arizona State
The Tigers stick with their guy here. He never stopped hitting at a high level since the day he stepped foot on campus at Arizona State, even breaking some school records held by Barry Bonds. He had good summers on the Cape and with Team USA and looks like one of the better hitting prospects in recent memory, with high-end power upside. (JG)

2. Baltimore Orioles | Austin Martin, 3b/cf, Vanderbilt
Accumulating impact-level talent is of the utmost priority for the Orioles and taking Martin here would accomplish just that. Along with the No. 1 overall pick from the 2019 MLB Draft, Adley Rutschman, Martin has standout offensive tools and could be the best pure hitter available this year to go along with defensive versatility. (PE)

3. Miami Marlins | Asa Lacy, lhp, Texas A&M
With the two biggest position player names off the board, the Marlins need to snag the next best player available and that is clearly Lacy. It really wouldn’t be a surprise if he’s taken second overall by the Orioles, but if available, Miami would love to get him. With a fastball in the high 90’s as well as a plus-plus slider and advanced command with his arsenal, he’s expected to be an ace in the big leagues someday. (CS)


4. Kansas City Royals | Nick Gonzales, 2b, New Mexico State
Gonzales is a physical right-handed hitter who has just put up outstanding numbers in his time at New Mexico State and on the Cape. The power was put on display in a big way this spring with 12 home runs in just 16 games played. He played some shortstop this spring, but he should no doubt be sticking at second base long term. The strength of the hit tool is the carrier here. (TR)


5. Toronto Blue Jays | Emerson Hancock, rhp, Georgia 
Another power SEC arm, Hancock also has the potential to be a frontline starter in the big leagues. He looked fabulous in his four starts this past shortened season going 4-0 with a 12.75 k/9 rate. There will still be plenty of quality bats available later in the draft for the Blue Jays, so they take the next best pitching option after Lacy here. (CS)

6. Seattle Mariners | Max Meyer, rhp, Minnesota
Meyer tied a Minnesota record with sixteen saves as a freshman and then starred in the same roll for team USA.  He has transitioned easily into a starting role and was having a monster early spring.  He has two plus pitches with an upper 90s fastball and a low 90s slider which could be argued as the best in the class. There are questions surrounding his size, but the arm talent and athleticism is too much to pass on. (JG)

7. Pittsburgh Pirates | Zac Veen, of, Spruce Creek HS (Fla.)
He’s done nothing but rise up draft boards since his appearance at the WWBA World Championship in Jupiter last October. There’s good length to his frame and fantastic athleticism to his game. Truly the rise is all about his smooth lefty stroke and display of pop as he really started to show an ability to back spin baseballs this spring. (CS)

8. San Diego Padres | Cade Cavalli, rhp, Oklahoma
A name that could have seen himself go even sooner in this year’s draft had the pandemic not cut things off is Cade Cavalli. His draft stock has risen pretty substantially over the course of the past calendar year and what he showed in the shortened season, with Team USA last summer as well as in 12 starts a year ago. The fastball gets into the 97-98 mph peak range and the slider is plus more often than not. (GG)

9. Colorado Rockies | Austin Hendrick, of, West Allegheny HS (Pa.)
Take your pick on who the top prep bat is in this year’s Draft class, but Austin Hendrick certainly has to be in that conversation. The lefthanded hitting outfielder has huge raw power and is going to be considered in the top 10 picks and why not go to the organization where that power tool will play the most in the thin air of Colorado. Hendrick did not get a chance to lace up the spikes in 2020 but the showing on the circuit last summer and fall have to give scouts a good idea of the ceiling. (GG)

10. Los Angeles Angels | Mick Abel, rhp, Jesuit HS (Ore.)
Abel is a first-round talent that has near-limitless projection from the right-side. A 2019 PG All-American, the Oregon native generates easy velocity that has been into the high 90s with potential for more in the 6-5, 190 pound frame. Abel has an elite secondary offering in the mid 80s slider, showing the ability to generate swings-and-misses both in and out of the zone. While Oregon State has certainly generated top-level arms in the past, Abel is a likely candidate to find himself in a professional system right out of high school. (NS)

Midwest Invitational Scout Notes

Tyler Kotila
Article Image
Creighton Tuzzio (2024, Clarinda, Iowa) took the ball in the semi-final game and was able to get on the bump and carve for his team. Tuzzio is a taller 6-foot-6, 210-pound frame with plenty to like in the operation. The right-handed pitcher has a slower and more controlled operation as he works through the delivery. He lifts the leg up around the belt and then works through a three-quarters release with good whip through it. The fastball worked up to 86 mph on the fastball and held in the low- to mid-80s. He creates some angle on it with the taller & projectable frame. It runs arm-side and can be a problem for right-handed hitters. He also showed a low-70s curveball with a bigger 11/5 tilt to it and good depth to miss some bats. The Iowa Western commit threw 5.0 innings, allowing just 1 run, with 4 walks and 6 strikeouts to his credit.   There’s no surprise here, but...

Michael Flores (2026, NC) looking great through 4 innings pitched with 11 k’s. Great command and completely missing barrels. #2023WWBACoastalSophmoreFallInvatational pic.twitter.com/Oqd3WD0E05 — PG Coastal Scouting (@PG_Coastal) September 24, 2023 Michael Flores (2026, Mooresville, NC) put on an electric performance to watch for the SBA Futures 2026 in their matchup versus the Carolina Reds. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound, RHP did his job for his team today to keep them in the game. Flores throws with a high leg lift and creates some good motions towards the plate with his whippy action. Flores has a great feel for the zone and pounded strikes at a 66% rate. Flores generated swing and miss after swing and miss and it was clear he was in control out there on the mound. He sat in the 70-mph range to 79-mph range with his fastball with the ability to pinpoint it wherever he pleased....

James Sherry (’26, Aiken, S.C.)- the 6-foot-1, 155-pound right-handed pitcher tossed a complete game for Xtreme Xposure Baseball-Bennett in an 8-1 win over 2 Way Athletics 16U. A primary outfielder, Sherry finished with 15 strikeouts and just one walk while controlling the zone at a 65% strike rate. Appearing in only his second PG tournament, Sherry turned in another great pitching performance after being selected to the All-Tournament Team at the 2023 16U PG Southeast Labor Day Classic.

A high speed look at this 2B from Keon Johnson... #WWBAWorlds @PG_Georgia https://t.co/Ejl8GirIgk pic.twitter.com/ate7ro35cp — Perfect Game Scout (@PG_Scouting) September 24, 2023 Keon Johnson (2026, Macon, Ga.) started off the morning loud, going down to get a pitch down and smoking a double that split the opposite field gap at a 92 mph exit velocity. The shortstop has one of the best hit tools in the class and has tremendous feel for the barrel. The swing is quiet and simple, staying loose through the zone. The ball jumps and the parts really work. At short, Johnson looked silky with good actions, range, and plenty of arm strength across. The game comes easy for the Georgia native, and still just 15, the all-around game is very well-refined for the age.  Jaxson Wood (2026, Hoover, Ala.) finished batting .500 over the tournament, including three extra-base hits.

Deep South Fall Invitational Scout Notes

Alex Dorso
Article Image
Patrick Kovacs (2026 Knoxville TN) was dominant in his outing in game two of pool play for Exposure National. The southpaw tossed three scoreless innings allowing two hits while striking out eight. He showed plus command of the fastball dotting it to both sides of the plate while working off the corners at times. Patrick sat 75-78 topping at 79 multiple times throughout. He mixed in a tight breaking ball with two plane movement that he had no problem mixing in any count keeping the opposing hitters off balanced in the box. Coming from a mid 3/4s slot there was some deception within the operation making it tough to pick the fastball up out of the hand. The frame has plenty of athleticism within with plenty of more room for additional strength as he continues to mature. Kovacs should be a fun follow as he continues to progress through high school. Ryan Riojas (‘26 TN) drives this...

The big and physical 6-foot-4, 210-pound arm threw a complete game, seven inning, one-hit shutout, striking out 13 and walking one. The fastball had downhill life to it, sitting in the 85-88 range for the entirety of the game. Garrison held the velocity and reached back for his fastest bullet of the game, at 89, in the seventh inning. Finishing the outing with 70% strikes, he filled up the zone and went right at hitters. He also induced swing-and-miss on a curveball, featuring late...

Northeast Qualifier Scout Notes

John McAdams

Jack Harley (2024, Mendham, NJ) put together a dominant performance at the plate in the WWBA NEQ, leading his team to a coveted Jupiter bid while also earning MVP-honors. The 6-foot-1 left-handed hitter showcased his advanced bat-to-ball skills on several occasions. He batted .643 with two doubles, a home run and six stolen bases. Harley utilizes a repeatable, synced-up stroke with clean separation into launch. He has a great feel for the barrel and creates good strength at impact to all parts of the diamond. The future Hokie recorded a hit in all six of his games and proved to be a reliable bat at the top-of-the-order for Clubhouse 2024 EvoShield. Harley’s build offers a good balance of strength and athleticism, making him a well-rounded prospect with intriguing upside moving forward.  .#VandyBoys commit Aiden O’Connell (‘24, NH) is back on the bump in the #NEQ...

Sophomore WWBA Scout Notes: Days 1-2

Nathan Caldwell (2026, Columbia, S.C.) looked the part in the batter’s box as the Team Elite three-hole hitter had one of the hardest hit balls of the day. There’s really impressive bat speed and the ability to create violence and rotational acceleration through contact. He missiled a single during the game and there looks like there’s going to be pretty significant impact potential long term. He’s a strong kid with good indicators and offensive tools to like. Drew Borkowski (2026, Huntley, Ill.) showed plenty to like in the arm as he got the start in game one on the day for GRB. At 6-foot-1, 170-pounds he’s got a lanky frame with long limbs and plenty of room for physical projection. It’s a quick arm with solid arm speed throughout and he opened up sitting 85-87 mph with the fastball. The fastball showed good sinking life and he used it to get a lot...
