Kris Bryant and Mark Appel could be two of the top three picks in the draft. If any of the top 25 players are taken in the first round, I wouldn't be surprised. The top five are near locks for the top half of the first round .
1. Kris Bryant, 1B, JR, 45/70: Elite power. Great hitter. plus arm.
2. Mark Appel, P, SR, 45/70: three plus pitches with front of the rotation potential
3. Dominic Smith, 1B, HS, 35/70: Has the bat to be a middle of the order masher
4. Austin Wilson, OF, JR, 35/65: Amazing athlete. Rare skillset that only comes around once in a while.
5. John Paul Crawford, SS, HS, 35/60: great athlete. Very good hitter. Can he stick at SS?
6. Aaron Judge, OF, JR, 35/60: huge athlete. Big power potential. Height scares me but is a one of a kind player.
7. Ian Clarkin, P, HS, 30/60: low 90's fastball but his velocity has been down this spring. One of the better breaking balls in the class.
8. Ryan McMahon, 3B, HS, 30/60: long, lean and atheltic, he has a great swing from the left side. He has a potneitally plus glove at 3b and is just coming into his own as a baseball player after splitting time with football in the past.
9. Rowdy Tellez, 1B, HS, 30/60: Big guy. Powerful, long swing. Could hit 40 homers. Arguably best power in the draft
10. Jeremy Martinez, C, HS, 30/60: good defender behind the dish. Great well balanced, line drive hitter.
11. Jonah Wesely, P, HS, 35/55: up to 93. good breaking ball. Impressive stuff. Durable build.
12. Phil Bickford, P, HS, 30/60: Up to 97, sits 92-94. Slider is swing and miss pitch but can hang. Burch Smith comp
13. Matt Krook, P, HS, 30/60: low 90's fastball. Plus breaking ball potential.
14. Andrew Thurman, P, JR, 35/55: low 90's velocity. Very good slider.
15. Chris Kohler, P, HS, 30/55: athletic lefty with a plus breaking ball and potential to add to his fastball that scrapes 90
16. Kevin Franklin, 3B, HS, 30/55: big power potential. Good glove. Might be able to stay at 3b.
17. A.J. Vanegas, P, JR, 30/55: inconsistent. He can hit 97 but has control issues. He has a plus slider on occasion. Injury issues this spring
18. Dylan Covey, P, JR, 30/55: two plus pitches when on. Extremely inconsistent
19. Chris Rivera, SS, HS, 35/50: atheltic middle infielder. Good bat. Solid up the middle talent. Not elite but likely to be at least a utility guy
20. Michael Lorenzen, OF, JR, 30/60: big armed reliever and atheltic CF. Tools galore. Not sure where it works.
21. Trey Williams, 3B, J1, 30/60: great athelte. Needs work at the plate. A lot of potential though
22. Adam Plutko, P, JR, 40/50: Mid rotation starter. Sits 88-91 with a four pitch mix and no out pitch.
23. Scott Frazier, P, JR, 30/50: big, 6'7" guy who's hit 97 but is inconsistent.
24. Carlos Salazar, P, HS, 25/55: short, stocky guy with a power arm. secondary's lag behind. Command is an issue. One pitch guy right now. Change ahead of breaking ball.
25. Stephen Gonsalves, P, HS, 25/55: big lanky lefty. Curve is loopy but has a low 90's fastball
26. Alex Balog, P, JR, 25/50: Low 90's fastball with a hard slider. Not a lot of track record though.
27. Dominic Nunez, C, HS, 35/50: Nice swing. Could be a C, may end up at 2B. Knows how to play the game.
28. Hunter Simmons, 3B, HS, 25/55: Big bat potential. Mediocre defensively in OF, good 1B. Big bat for Utah but I'd make a run to sign him.
29. Billy Roth, OF, HS, 30/50: Big uppercut. Big leg kick too but he hits the ball hard. He will need great hand eye to make this work but I think he could.
30. Tyler Alamo, C, HS, 30/50: Long swing. Good power. May be a 1B.
31. Jake Bauers, 1B, , 30/50: Powerful swing. Limited to 1B defensively but defends well.
32. Derek Rustich, 3B, HS, 30/50: big power swing. Old for class but can hit
33. Brian Ragira, 1B, JR, 35/50: good power potential but likely a 1B, slow for OF. BP power hasn't shown in games
34. Aaron Brown, P, SO, 35/50: Good two way player. Likely a pitcher but needs a good secondary pitch to be more than a middle reliever. Good swing and athletic ability
35. Blake Taylor, P, HS, 30/50: Very nice breaking ball. Good fastball up to 95 but sat low 90's
36. Jack Klein, OF, HS, 30/50: Very good athlete. Pretty swing.
37. Brett Binning, SS, HS, 30/50: a lot of projection remaining. Good swing. Good athlete. Looks the part.
38. Dane McFarland, OF, HS, 25/50: Crazy athlete but very raw
39. Trae Arbet, SS, HS, 25/50: great athelte. Good power potential. Long swing, expect swing and miss. Good defender up the middle
40. Kort Peterson, OF, HS, 30/50: not that much different than austin meadows. Good speed. Good power potential. Good arm. Corner guy will have to play up with bat.
41. Joseph Corrigan, 1B, HS, 30/50: Big swing, power ptential
42. Gosuke Katoh, 2B, HS, 30/50: line drive hitter more likely a 2b.
43. Francis Christy, C, HS, 30/50: short powerful swing. Not sure he fits at catcher
43. Trevin Haseltine, P, HS, 30/50: up to 93. Repeatable delivery
44. Arden Pabst, C, HS, 30/50: Good defensive catcher. Average bat at best.
45. Daulton Jefferies, P, HS, 30/45: 88-90 fastball. Nice breaking ball with a really good change. Likely going to college.
46. Andrew Knapp, C, JR, 35/45: Mediocre with the bat until last summer on the Cape. Very good this spring. Needs work on D.
47. Brenton Allen, OF, JR, 25/50: Raw athlete.
48. Colin Winters, OF, HS, 25/50: Nice swing. Has some issues but good athlete. Good arm, good speed. Interesting later round player.
50. Steve Farinaro, P, HS, 25/50: Nice delivery. Up to 90. Could jump up with additional strength.
51. Tyler Linehan, P, JR, 35/45: Upper 80's fastball with really nice breaking ball. Stocky.
52. Billy Flamion, OF, SO, 30/45: Hasn't shown the bat progress many expected. I still believe in his power but he hasn't shown it yet. He's a question mark in a lot of ways.
53. Elliott Barzilli, SS, HS, 35/45: short quick swing. Not a lot of power. Good defense. College guy
54. Cal Becker, P, FR, 30/45: Interesting stuff but not doing well at all at Palm Beach State
55. Michael Wagner, P, JR, 35/45: Up to 94 with good slider. Reliever
56. Tyler Kuresa, 1B, JR, 25/45: Power bat
57. Kenny Mathews, P, SO, 30/45: odd lefty delivery . Solid arm
58. A.J. Balta, 2B, HS, 30/45: compact hitter. Compact line drive swing
59. Paul Paez, P, J2, 30/45: stocky. No projection. Only upper 80's touching 92
60. Aldo Koutsoyanopulos, 3B, HS, 25/45: Good athlete. Not a great bat but one to watch in JC next year.
