Analyzing Amateur Baseball Talent as it pertains to the MLB Draft
Top 10 RHP Prospects
College pitching in particular is a big strength in this year's draft, highlighted by Stephen Strasburg and strengthened by Kyle Gibson and Ale White, all of whom could be gone among the top three to five overall picks. Aaron Crow's availability adds to the strength, as does Tanner Scheppers'. The prep class is deeper with lefties, but Shelby Miller continues to impress and Jacob Turner shares a lot of similarities with Tim Melville from a year ago.
