ETHAN CONRAD, OF - wake forest
Prospects
Live Ranking - #11
After a
phenomenal summer in the Cape, Ethan Conrad will look to carry that momentum
with his new program at Wake Forest.
During his two seasons at Marist College, Conrad ended with a
.359/.425/.587 slash line while gathering 54 extra base hits and 239 total
bases. Obviously impressive, even more
so considering he did that before turning 20 years of age. In the box, it’s a quiet operation with an
advanced feel of the strike zone, evidenced by his low 8% whiff rate. This past
season with Marist, Ethan did incredibly well against fastballs, hitting .405
against them and recording 8 of his 9 triples off that pitch. As previously mentioned, Conrad dominated in
the Cape League, earning All-Star honors with Bourne and finishing with a .385
batting average and 19 stolen bases.
Defensively, Conrad still has room to grow, as he currently possesses an
average arm and showcases plus range thanks to his speed. That said, he is set to start in right field
for Wake this Spring with the ability to transition to center if the arm
improves. It’s a fun profile with day
one potential; with improved defensive skills, it could easily translate into a
lottery pick.

For
college baseball fans and prospect followers alike, it’s time to get to know
Wake Forest outfielder Ethan Conrad. After two impressive seasons at Marist –
he collectively slashed .359/.425/.587 during his freshman and sophomore years
with the Red Foxes – Conrad has opted to transfer to Wake Forest. He made that
decision at the beginning of the summer, even before the start of the Cape Cod
Baseball League season, where Conrad continued to play at a high level.
Playing
for the Bourne Braves, Conrad slashed .385/.433/.486, finishing among the Cape
league leaders in batting, runs, hits, stolen bases and OPS. He even earned
All-Star Game MVP honors for the West team with a 1-for-2 performance that
included an RBI double, a stolen base and two runs scored.
It marks
the second year in a row Wake Forest has plucked a talented player away from a
small school, doing so with infielder Seaver King a year ago, who also enjoyed
a strong performance on the Cape prior to arriving in Winston-Salem. And
following in King’s footsteps, for his meteoric rise Conrad has been named D1
Baseball’s 2024 Summer Breakout Prospect.
