Many of the same names, with Watson, Lawlar and Brady House in the mix. But there are those who feel Jobe might be the best pitcher in this class when all is said and done.

11 Nationals
Pick: RHP Jackson Jobe, Heritage Hall HS (Oklahoma) ($4,547,500 slot value)
The Nationals are said to covet Jobe and Miami (Ohio) righty Sam Bachman, and in our mock draft, they get to pick between the two. All else being equal, taking the college pitcher over the high school pitcher makes sense given the historical risks, though Jobe is considered the most polished prep righty in quite some time, and his slider is a top of the line offering with elite spin rates. There's been enough buzz here to mock Jobe to Washington over Bachman.

#6 - Arizona Diamondbacks: Jackson Jobe, RHP, Heritage Hall (Okla.) HS
Jobe is the top prep arm in this year’s class with an exciting fastball-slider combination. His slider draws great reviews from scouts and appeals to teams who are analytically savvy. He has big-time potential.

Jackson Jobe has become a household name for baseball in Oklahoma.
He’s an Ole Miss commit, a Perfect Game All-American, a state champion, and, in a couple months, he’ll have a chance to add first-round draft pick to his resume.
From the moment Jobe threw his first pitch, Heritage Hall Head Coach Jordan Semore knew he was going to be special.
“The first time I ever saw him was at our indoor his sophomore year," Semore said. "I saw him throw one pitch and I just turned around and gave a fist pump because the amazing part about baseball is you can see a guy do one thing and you know he’s going to be a special type of athlete, and that’s what he showed from the first pitch all the way to now.”
Since then, he’s continued to progress and is now projected to be a top-10 pick in the first round of the 2021 MLB Draft.
“I think it’s just hard work," Jobe said. "I had a pretty good summer last year and didn’t get complacent or anything. I came out this offseason and worked even harder and put myself in a good position.”
Jackson has a wipeout slider, a 96-mph four-seam fastball, a curveball, and an upgraded changeup in his arsenal.
“I’ve definitely worked on developing my changeup a little bit more, that was something I was kind of pretty inconsistent with this summer, didn’t really throw it a whole lot," Jobe said. "That was kind of my biggest emphasis this offseason was working on that and developing it and becoming more consistent with it.”
In his senior campaign Jobe had 10 starts and finishing with a 9-0 record. He threw two no-hitters, fanned 122 batters in 52.1 innings pitched while giving up just 15 hits and one earned run to tally a .135 ERA.

This might be the spot in the mock that makes or breaks it for prognosticators as the Angels are all over the map, but there are those who think Jobe could end up being the best pitcher in this class.

And with Jackson Jobe’s senior campaign, it has become even more apparent. Through his six starts, Jobe has thrown two no-hitters and struck out 82 batters in 34 innings pitched while giving up just 11 hits and one earned run to tally a 0.202 ERA.

11. Nats: Jackson Jobe, RHP, Heritage Hall HS (Oklahoma City)
There's not a pitcher in this Draft with a better combination of three pitches and control, but the industry's skittishness about taking prep righties early could knock Jobe down more than his talent dictates. Still, don't be surprised if he goes in the first half-dozen picks.

10. New York Mets: Jackson Jobe, Heritage Hall (Okla.) HS
Jobe has athleticism, feel for his four-pitch mix, and intriguing upside. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound righty also has explosive arm speed that allows him to get notable spin on his mid-90s fastball and slider.
His slider is his top offering and draws rave reviews from scouts. His slider has an elite spin rate, as he typically throws the pitch with 3,100-plus revolutions per minute.

7) Royals (Callis): Jackson Jobe, RHP, Heritage Hall (Oklahoma City, Okla.) -- High school right-handers come with risk, but this one might have the best combination of pure stuff and command in the entire Draft.

And here is another pitcher/shortstop out of Oklahoma that could be picked in the first two rounds. What’s in the water down there? Jackson Jobe is more valuable as a pitcher, and he has attributes that are hard to ignore. His slider might be the best slider in this entire draft.

38. RHP Jackson Jobe | School: Heritage Hall HS, OK | Commit: Mississippi | B / T: R / R | Ht: 6’2 | Wt: 190lbs | Age: 19
Solid floor as a wipeout, back of the bullpen reliever with at least a Plus 2 pitch combo (FB/SL Combo, With that SL grading as a future Double-Plus posting elite 3000-3250 RPM with 2 plane tilt. But I see a strong chance to stick as a mid-rotation Starting Pitcher with some upside to become a solid #2 as the Change Up develops into a league-average or better pitch. Pro coaching will only tighten this overall package up, and with the athleticism, feel to spin and locate. Will go to the Slider as a put-away pitch a majority of the time. Still developing endurance to hold plus stuff late into starts. Due to previously being a Primary INF, hasn’t focused much on starting until this summer. There is reason to think Jobe can add a 4th pitch to the mix, he has used a curveball in the past and shows an advanced feel for spin at a young age. Only enhancing his ceiling of becoming that #2 starter with high strikeout totals. Similar pitch arsenal to Jacob deGrom; overall comp of Corbin Burnes.

High School Pitchers - The One I Dream About Falling to 21: Jackson Jobe, RHP, Heritage Hall HS (OK). For a few months now, this has been the guy I have wanted for the Cubs. A super athlete on the mound (like recent picks Ryan Jensen, Koen Moreno), Jobe also has some of the highest spin rates in the entire draft class. I’ve been hopeful, at least until I read Carlos Collazo’s piece last week on 10 Early Season Draft Risers: “…it wouldn’t be surprising for Jobe to pitch his way to the top of the prep arms in the class.” Rats.

Teams will have to decide whether they like Jobe better at shortstop or on the mound. It's not an easy decision, as Jobe has one of the highest spin rates in the class on his slider as well as a low-to-mid-90s fastball.

Jackson Jobe, RHP, Heritage Hall HS, Oklahoma City. (No. 30)
The early feedback from scouts who have seen Jobe this season is highly positive. With his performance and the struggles of Florida prep righthander Andrew Painter, it wouldn’t be surprising for Jobe to pitch his way to the top of the prep arms in the class. Currently he is the third-ranked prep pitcher.
This season Jobe is still handling shortstop while he’s not pitching and when he is on the bump has held mid-90s velocity deep into his starts. His slider—which was voted the best breaking ball in the class—is still there and getting 60- and 70-grade projections at its best, while Jobe has also shown a potential plus changeup with impressive action. Refining a changeup or curveball was one of Jobe’s to-do list items, and it sounds like he’s done that.
That’s three 60-grade pitches out of an athletic, and fairly easy delivery, which should make teams think carefully about whether or not they want to take the plunge and go after a prep righthander in the first round. Jobe could be a safer prep righty profile, given his lack of upper-90s velocity and outstanding feel for spin.

Jackson Jobe | Heritage Hall (Oklahoma City)
Seen as a five-tool player who can throw 96 mph off the mound, he's also regarded as a prospect at shortstop. After his performance at the Perfect Game All-American Classic, Jobe will likely be drafted as a pitcher.
