13. Carson Benge - OF/RHP (Oklahoma State) 6’2” 184 lbs.
An all-around 5-tool stud who can also pitch, Carson Benge caught the attention of MLB draft rooms everywhere when he hit .345 with 43 RBIs in 2023 while also starting 10 games as a pitcher, striking out a batter per inning. This season, he moved to the bullpen and has looked even better, although at the next level, he looks more suited to be a position player. He has already had Tommy John and has struggled with his control on the mound. Offensively, however, there are few weaknesses. He has elite bat speed, high contact rates and big power potential. His OPS has remained north of 1.000 for the past 2 seasons. He is defensively excellent in the outfield and, of course, provides a cannon for an arm. Benge has first round potential with little downside, and teams will always have the option of trying him out on the mound if his career as a position player falters, or vice versa.

25. Malcolm Moore - C (Stanford) 6’2” 216 lbs.
Stanford catcher Malcolm Moore has little left prove offensively after hitting .400 in Summer Ball in 2022 then quickly becoming a force in the Stanford lineup during the 2023 season, hitting .311 with 15 bombs. He rarely chases out of the zone and barrels up almost everything with authority. His power numbers are looking even stronger in 2024. The only question mark is his defensive abilities behind the dish, which have improved, but many scouts believe he’ll end up at first base at the professional level. Either way, he has a strong arm and whatever team that drafts him will do so more for the bat than the arm and glove.

30. Owen Hall - RHP (Edmond North) 6’3” 185 lbs.
Right-hander Owen Hall has the stuff to enter the pros out of the High School and become an instant top MLB prospect. His best pitch is an explosive fastball that can hit high 90’s but he also has a deadly slider/curve combo that buckles knees and results in big strikeout numbers. He has a high 80’s changeup that he’s still working on controlling, but even without it, his stuff is straight up nasty. He has shown great stamina and durability and has a chance to the become a frontline starter at the highest level as the grows into his 6’3” frame. The only reason not to draft him in the first or second round is the fear he might not sign and honor his commitment to Vanderbilt.

39. Anthony Silva - SS (Texas Christian University) 6’2” 200 lbs.
Even though he’s only a Sophomore, Anthony Silva will turn 21 before the 2024 MLB Draft, making him draft eligible. He was rated by Baseball America as the best High School defensive shortstop in the country before moving on to TCU, where he continued to play elite defense with an incredibly strong arm and he also showed big promise with the bat, hitting .330 with 50 RBIs and an .887 OPS. Silva drives the ball all over the field with authority and although he doesn’t hit a ton of home runs, he has the size and swing suited for at least 20 home run power in the future. He got off to a hot start in 2024 and hitting over .300 until slumping in April. However, he still has massive all-around talent and could be picked fairly high.

40. Luke Holman - RHP (Louisiana State University) 6’4” 201 lbs.
VIDEO | OFFICIAL PROFILE | TWITTER
41. Levi Sterling - RHP (Notre Dame HS) 6’4” 195 lbs.
Sterling is a two-way High School player who has potential with the bat, but scouts believe he has a much higher ceiling as a pitcher. He has an arsenal of pitches including a fastball that can hit 95, a slider, a splitter and a special cutter, all at different speeds from the low 80’s to mid 90’s. He has good command for his age, although it will need some improvement as he progresses through the minors. His stuff is reminiscent of Max Scherzer and that’s the type of ceiling he has a pitcher. He will be one of the youngest players in the draft at only 17, so if he goes pro, it may take him longer than usual to reach the majors. The Texas Longhorns are obviously hoping he doesn’t, as he will be a major asset for them if he honors his commitment.

46. Corey Collins - C/1B/DH (Georgia) 6’3” 236 lbs.
Collins hasn’t been able to stick at a position for long and has mostly been a DH and first baseman this season after spending time as a catcher and even some time in the outfield, While there may be some defensive concerns, his bat cannot be ignored. He has a smooth left-handed swing that generates easy power without much swing and miss. Through 194 plate appearances, he walked 48 times and struck out just 27, resulting in a .589 on-base percentage and .367 batting average. On top of that, he also has big power with 16 bombs and an OPS around 1.400. At 6’3” and 236 lbs, he has the size, strength, and plate discipline to become an elite power hitter at the highest levels, and with the DH in both leagues, all 30 teams should show some interest.

49. Drew Beam - RHP (Tennessee) 6’4” 208 lbs.
One of the most talented starting pitchers in all of College Baseball over the past 3 seasons has been Tennessee righty Drew Beam, who brings consistency, experience and lots of physicality with his 6’4” 208 lb. frame. In the offensive heavy SEC, Beam has maintained an ERA around 3 his entire collegiate career with a 23-7 record through 33 starts. His stuff is electric and includes a fastball that sits around 93-95 but can hit 97 when he reaches back along with a solid curveball and deadly change-up that he has slowly improved throughout his 3 years at Tennessee. He has an insanely high ceiling and could fly through the minors with quickness, landing in an MLB rotation as early as 2025.
50. Kash Mayfield - LHP (Elk City) 6’4” 200 lbs.
One of the nastiest high school pitchers available in the 2024 MLB Draft, Kash Mayfield has a fastball that approaches triple digits at times but normally sits around 95-97. He also has a slider and occasional change-up, both which will serve him well when he faces tougher competition. In High School, however, he is untouchable. Mayfield struck out over 80% of the batters he faced in 2024, using his tall frame and deceptive delivery to eliminate almost any chance hitters had against his powerful stuff. Mayfield has committed to Oklahoma State, but already looks ready for the pros.
51. Joey Oakie - RHP (Ankeny HS) 6’2” 195 lbs.

52. Christian Moore - IF (Tennessee) 6’1” 216 lbs.
An exciting all-around talent coming into the 2024 season was Tennessee infielder Christian Moore. This year, his draft stock has only improved - in fact, it has skyrocketed as he showed big power, crushing 24 home runs in 52 games for Tennessee, while improving his batting average by about 60 points, hitting over .370 with a 1.221 OPS. Moore has a quick and efficient swing that generates impressive exit velocities. He looked to be a possible 15-20 home run guy, but this season proved he might be able to crush 30+ at the higher levels while providing plus speed and solid defense at second base, similar to a player like Xander Boegarts. He has the potential to move quickly through the minors and land in a big league lineup by 2025 or 2026.
80. Gavin Kash - IF (Texas Tech) 6’3” 210 lbs.
Gavin Kash has one of the quickest left-handed strokes in college baseball and in 2023, he broke out with 26 bombs and 84 RBIs for the Red Raiders. He does a good job of limiting strikeouts considering his power and makes consistent hard contact. He has no fear and will swing at the first pitch often with a very centered and balanced approach. Defensively, he is mostly limited to 1st base, but has a strong arm and a good lateral range. Kash has huge upside and should be available for any of the 30 teams since most mock drafts have him going outside the first round.
81. Mark Shallenberger - OF (Evansville) 6’2” 220 lbs.

85. Zach Ehrhard - OF (Oklahoma State) 5’11” 185 lbs.
Originally a top High School prospect after hitting .438 with three home runs, 12 doubles, 21 RBIs and 26 stolen bases as a Senior, Zach Ehrhard became an instant force for Oklahoma State in 2021. He could hit like few others, but this year, he has also been showing major pop to accompany his blazing speed and elite defense. Ehrhard crushed 10 home runs in the Cowboys first 40 games in 2024 with an OPS over 1.000. He rarely strikes out and can work plenty of walks, providing an on-base threat with power every time he steps up to the plate. Ehrhard will likely be available in the later rounds and could be a big steal for a team looking for a potential lead off man with pop who has true 5-tool talent.
89. Kevin Bazzell - C/INF (Texas Tech) 6’1” 205 lbs.
In 2023 after hitting .363 in Summer Ball, Kevin Bazzell absolutely raked at Texas Tech, hitting .348 with 10 bombs, 62 RBIs and an OPS over 1.000, becoming the Red Raiders every day catcher and an instant top prospect for the 2024 draft. He has an advanced approach that results in consistent loud contact and walks significantly more than he strikes out. So far in 2024, his numbers are almost exactly the same, showing amazing consistency and an ability to repeat the same swing without going into slumps. He also has a great arm and can handle a pitching staff well. Bazzell has at a minimum MLB back-up catching potential but could end up being even better than that.
90. Payton Tolle - LHP/INF (TCU) 6’6” 250 lbs.
Two-way player Payton Tolle has shown elite ability both as a hitter and pitcher, but recently after transferring to TCU from Wichita State, he has begun to shine more on the mound. His bat has been spotty and although he can crush the ball, he has struggled with strikeouts and consistency. As a pitcher, however, he has been completely lights out. Tolle threw a complete game shutout against the powerful Oklahoma State Cowboys lineup on the road and has been extremely reliable with a heater that approaches the mid 90’s, a powerful curve and deadly change-up. Tolle struck out 97 batters in his first 62 innings in 2024 and allowed just 43 hits with a 3.16 ERA, absolutely elite numbers for any league, but especially the offense-heavy Big 12.
131. Janzen Keisel - RHP (Oklahoma State) 6’4” 205 lbs.
With a deceptive release and fastball that can touch 98, Janzen Keisel has been one of the key starters in the Oklahoma State rotation this year and has the chance to be at a minimum an effective reliever at the MLB level. As a starter, he usually stays in the mid-90’s and can fool hitters with an occasional sweeping curve and slider. His control with those secondary pitches is sometimes erratic, something that will have to improve in the pros. Kesiel doesn’t typically go too deep into games, with 4 or 5 innings being the max, but the strikeout stuff is legit. He threw 5 scoreless innings in 2 of his first 3 starts this year, and on April 2nd, against Oral Roberts, a 2023 College World Series team, Keisel threw 4 shutout innings, allowing just 1 hit with 4 strikeouts.
132. Thatcher Hurd - RHP (Louisiana State) 6’4” 230 lbs.

155. Brian Holiday- RHP (Oklahoma State) 5’11” 203 lbs.
One of the finest strike throwers in College Baseball, Brian Holiday uses an array of above average pitches with pinpoint accuracy to dominate hitters. He doesn’t have one spectacular pitch, rather an arsenal of different weapons he is not afraid to employ at any moment including a low 90’s fastball and effective slider with late break. Through is first 10 starts in 2024, he struck out 71 batters in 66 innings while walking just 10. Holiday doesn’t have the stuff or size to be a prototypical high draft pick, but his advanced ability to command the strike zone should tempt a team to draft him in the first 10 rounds, as he has the potential to eventually start in the big leagues as a reliable middle to back of the rotation guy, or at worst a solid reliever.
156. Connor Shouse - SS/RHP (East Cobb) 6’1” 180 lbs.

169. Ben Rounds - OF (Harvard) 6’1” 200 lbs.
One of the best pure hitters in college baseball, Ben Rounds has only gotten better every season at Harvard and had an absolute breakthrough year in 2024, He went 10 for his first 19 with to kick off a monster season in which he maintained a batting average around .400 all season long. Rounds uses a toe tap mechanism to time up the baseball and it works more often than not, resulting in an insanely high barrel rate. He rarely strikes out and his powerful and athletic frame helps provide some power as well. Rounds is above average defensively, with an ability to read the ball well and take smart routes. He could be a huge steal for a team looking for a 5-tool talent with a very high ceiling.

185. Miller Ladusau - OF (Abilene Christian) 6’3” 221 lbs.
A potential steal if the 2024 MLB Draft could be the 5-tool talent from Abilene Christian, outfielder Miller Ladusau, a 6’3” Senior who made huge strides in 2024, hitting around .370 with an OPS over 1.000. He broke ACU career records in hits and doubles. Ladusau has an extremely smooth swing and an advanced knowledge of the strike zone that resulted in an on-base percentage close to .500. He also has pop that could develop into big power in the future with his 6’3” frame. Ladusau also has plus speed, a high IQ on the base paths and in the outfield, and has a strong throwing arm.

192. Tyler Paul "TP" Wentworth - LHP/OF (Central Catholic) 6’5” 225 lbs.
Wentworth is a legitimate two-way prospect who has elite ability as a pitcher and hitter. On the mound, he can hit 90+ with his fastball and also mixes in a slider and curveball from a deceptive arm angle that hides the ball well. He has thrown multiple High School no-hitters including one that included 14 strikeouts. Wentworth also has a sweet swing at the plate that results in consistent loud contact while displaying an advanced knowledge of the strike zone. His speed and defense in the outfield are both above average. Wentworth is also an elite quarterback and is currently committed to Clemson to play football and baseball, which will definitely hurt his MLB draft stock in 2024.

198. Trey Lipsey - OF (Ohio State) 6’1” 185 lbs.
Lipsey is a solid all around player who specializes in getting on base and making things happen. He caught the attention of MLB scouts when he had a .461 on-base-percentage his Freshman year in 2022 while striking out just 22 times in 225 plate appearances. Lipsey doesn’t have a ton of power and his career college batting average sits around .270 but his patience and knowledge of the strike zone makes him an appealing prospect. Lipsey plays above average defense and has a great arm combined with plus speed. At best, he could be a potential leadoff man but could also serve as a versatile 4th outfielder who can play all 3 outfield positions.
199. Ryan Campos- C (Arizona State) 5’9” 180 lbs.
After two monster seasons with Arizona State in 2022 and 2023, Ryan Campos jumped up the draft boards. His advanced approach resulted in a .388 average in 2023, but even more impressive, he struck out just 17 times in 199 plate appearances. His bat has slowed down a bit in 2024, but he still has an OPS around 1.000 and an on-base percentage well over .400. Campos doesn’t provide a ton of power, but his ability to get on base and hardly ever strike out will make his name very intriguing in the draft. Defensively, he has a great arm and handles the staff well. He has shown improvement behind the dish every season and should be able to continue to be a catcher in the pros.
200. Alex Schroeder - C (Oklahoma Baptist) 6’4” 266 lbs.
One of the most powerful bats in D2 baseball over the past 3 seasons has been OBU catcher Alex Schroeder. Schroeder has put up Ruthian numbers over his college career that resulted in breaking school and conference career home run records. He hit his 60th career home run before his 150th game, which equates to the approximate length of one professional season. He has never had an OPS under 1.100 in a single season. He doesn’t strike out too much despite the massive production he brings and Schroeder is also solid defensively with a powerful arm. It’s unknown how he would do against more advanced competition, but the possibilities are certainly intriguing.
