BDR - 2011 MLB Draft – Top 30 College 1B

2011 MLB Draft – Top 30 College 1B



Commentary to come, but I didn’t want to hold up on posting some rankings for the silly reason that it takes me forever to come up with new and interesting ways to say “big power upside, but will have to hit a ton to ever make it as a 1B in pro ball.” Rankings are extremely preliminary — I’m already hating the inclusion of Matt Skipper, last seen at NMJC last spring but not on the 2010 Fall roster, for example — but should work as a decent follow list for the spring, if nothing else. Feel free to ask any questions and/or call me in idiot in the comments.


1.JR 1B Preston Tucker (Florida)


2.JR 1B Ricky Oropesa (Southern California)


3.JR 1B Troy Channing (St. Mary’s)


4.SR 1B Jordan Ribera (Fresno State)


5.JR 1B Taylor Ard (Washington State)


6.1B SR Paul Hoilman (East Tennessee State)


7.JR 1B Nick Ramirez (Cal State Fullerton)


8.JR 1B Dean Espy (UCLA)


9.JR 1B Aaron Westlake (Vanderbilt)


10.JR 1B Harold Riggins (North Carolina State)
