Welcome to the pre-draft top prospect list. Bryce Harper continues to hold steady, a true impact player that has incredible arm strength and power potential. While he could stick behind the plate defensively, the Nationals, who are expected to take Harper with the first overall pick, may choose to move Harper to right field hoping to fast-track his bat. Outfielder Michael Choice has been rising up draft boards, going from a projected late first-round pick to one that is now expected to be taken among the top 10 overall picks. The talent base still favors pitching, both in regards to the impact talent available at the top and the depth throughout.
