The lefty has a
shot to be the first player off the board in the 2025 MLB Draft!
Jacob Rudner @JacobRudner
Jamie Arnold's
blend of confidence, unyielding drive and talent has allowed him to make the strides
necessary to be one of the top pitchers in the country in 2025.
The FSUl southpaw isn't shying from the expectations that
come with that.

Kendall
Rogers @KendallRogers
RHP
Kyson Witherspoon has struck out 11 through six innings, allowing just two hits
and a run. His final pitch of the sixth inning was a 96 mph heather. Another
strong showing for the #Sooners righty.
Tyler
Jennings @TylerJennings24
I've
really fallen in love with Kyson's profile during the past calendar year and
he's really putting together a fantastic start to the year. New arm swing is
helping with command and deception, plus the stuff is otherworldly.
When we release our Top 200 ranks, he'll be SP3.

Patrick Forbes
is letting it eat right now for Louisville. The righty has seven Ks through
four scoreless and sat 93-96 (top 98) mph with his fastball. Forbes is backing
up a loud opening day performance nicely so far. He’s gaining draft-board
helium early.
Joe Doyle @JoeDoyleMiLB
Patrick Forbes
is chewing through the Western Kentucky lineup holding 94-96 on the stadium gun
on a 37-degree day at Louisville.
Goodness. Pitch
no. 60 on the day comes in at 97 on the stadium gun.

MLB Draft Prospect Spotlight - RHP Patrick Forbes, Louisville
No one has made more noise over the last two weeks than
Louisville’s Patrick Forbes. He’s dominated over his last two outings.
93-95 MPH (up to 96) electric factory of a fastball. An
absolute force on the mound
Tyler Jennings @TylerJennings24
I talked the
other day about how Kyson Witherspoon is SP3 in this class and honestly, Forbes
isn't far behind now. The jump in velocity and improved secondaries have stood
out. It was really, really good in Arlington. 1st round is on the table here.

THIS was not on my bingo card. If he stays healthy, Russell is a massive metric

Also,
Christian Foutch gets on the #HeatSheet by pumping 99-100 mph gas for Razorback
basaball to get the final out of the 8th. 100 mph... with 18 inches of
horizontal break — ridiculous turbo sinker. Good luck with that.
Baseball America @BaseballAmerica
Kyson Witherspoon is among the nation’s strikeout
leaders after his first two starts of the season. Witherspoon walked 11.2% of
batters in 2024. Through two starts in 2025, the @OU_Baseball righty has walked
just TWO

CH: 84
Double-digit whiffs, 8/0 K/BB in 4.0 one-run IP for
the GA commit.
Kendall Rogers @KendallRogers
Aiva Arquette is such a special hitter. He's
certainly imposing, but literally everything off his bat is very hard contact.
He hits a two-run shot to right field to trim Minnesota's lead to 7-4. That was
107 mph off the bat. @BeaverBaseball right back in this thing.
kennedi landry
@kennlandry
Alejandro Rosario (MLB Pipeline’s No. 50 overall
prospect) suffered an elbow injury and will likely be out for the 2025 season
as he requires surgery, per Chris Young.
“It's likely UCL, I don't want to officially say, but
yeah, it's elbow and will probably require Tommy John.”
Tyler Jennings @TylerJennings24
Looks like Devin Taylor has
found his swing after a slow start to the year!
Hammering balls to the backside today, hitting a
double and this HR. Very physical bat with legit pop to both sides of the park.
104 EV here with ease.
He's JustBB Media's #9 college prospect
Conor Dorney
@cdorney
Continue to be impressed by ASU OF Isaiah Jackson. Premium athlete with instincts to
stick in CF. Much improved barrel control since freshman campaign and AA raw
power. Could sneak into top three rounds of the MLB Draft. By all accounts
great off field makeup, as well.
Aaron Fitt @aaronfitt
Zach Root showing better stuff in the 1st than I've
ever seen from him, and I've seen him look very good during his ECU days. The
Razorback LHP attacking at 94-96 with arm-side life, gets 2 Ks in a scoreless
first on his filthy high-80s cutter, also lands big 81-82 curve.
Patrick Ebert @PatrickEbert44
This was one of the best outings I’ve seen from UI Baseball
LHP Cade Obermueller, really commanded and
sequenced well between his 90-93 fastball and sharp 80-83 slider, he came up
with some big Ks in key spots

Monty Taylor @Monty2740
I feel like Drew Faurot's
production to start the year has somehow gone under-the-radar for FSU.
Over his first 5 games, the junior 2B is now:
13-for-25 w/ a 2B, 4 HR, 16 RBI, BB, 2 SB
Faurot hit just 6 HR in 59 games in 2024.
James @jdubonD1base
In just two starts for Baylor, Ethan
Calder has worked 12 innings allowing only four hits and a run scored
while producing and impressing 15/1 K/BB ratio during that time.
Oh, he also has an ERA of 0.75

I won’t stop beating the drum for Ryan
Black. I don’t know if it’s the highest ceiling guy in the Draft, but
just a really good ballplayer.
I quite like Texas OF Tommy Farmer.
Think he’s going to be a steal somewhere in the draft if he decides to go pro.
Great frame, really good athlete and the tools are coming on. Draft-eligible
sophomore
Jacob Rudner @JacobRudner
North Carolina center fielder Kane
Kepley showing off the tools that allowed him gain momentum in the
scouting community heading into the season. Quick, compact swing at a pitch in
the zone, where he makes tons of contact then showed off the plus running.
Michigan State ace Joseph Dzierwa just
punched out 12 in seven innings against Washington State on 83 pitches, marking
his third-straight game with 10-plus Ks, dating back to last year. The MSU Baseball
lefty was Baseball America’s Preseason Big Ten Pitcher of the Year.
Alan Cole @Alan__Cole
Paul Mainieri says Eli Jerzembeck will
be out for the season with a stress fracture in his right elbow.
Kendall
Rogers @KendallRogers
Well,
this is very rotten news for the Gamecocks. Jerzembeck was expected to be a key part of that pitching
staff.
Joe
Doyle @JoeDoyleiLB)
Just
brutal for Eli. Torn UCL in late 2023. Missed all of 2024. Going to miss all of
2025. Wishing Eli a quick recovery. Such a talented arm.
CBS Sports - 2025 MLB Draft prospect rankings
21. Kade Anderson, LHP, LSU
The quick hook: Lefty with stuff, but can he throw enough
strikes?
The Tigers have produced at least a second-round pick in each
of the last six drafts. That streak ought to live on. LSU's roster is again
loaded, creating the possibility that a den of Tigers gets plucked within the
first few rounds. I'm expecting progress from Anderson, a draft-eligible
sophomore. He struck out more than 33% of the batters he faced last season,
albeit while also walking more than 11%. Anderson's delivery features a short
arm stroke that at times forces him to play catch up. If he can sync up his
operation more frequently, his combination of a low-to-mid-90s fastball and
downer breaking ball could make him an enticing first- or sandwich-round
prospect.
MLB: Here's the High
School All-Prospect Team for the '25 Draft
DH: Xavier Neyens, Mount
Vernon (Wash.)
He’ll have to convince the industry that the swing-and-miss
issues that popped up later in the summer were more because of fatigue than
anything else, but area scouts love his left-handed swing and easily plus raw
power. He has the chance to stick at third base, too.
Commitment: Oregon State
RHP: Seth Hernandez, Corona
(Calif.)
The best prep pitcher in the class, Hernandez is tall
(6-foot-4), projectable and athletic. And he has really good now stuff, with a
fastball that’s flirted with triple digits, a plus changeup, a high-spin spike
curve and a newer slider.
Commitment: Vanderbilt
LHP: Kruz Schoolcraft, Sunset
(Ore.)
Schoolcraft could be the first baseman on this team, too, but
I wanted to spread the love around. He’s 6-foot-8 and has a fastball he can run
up to 98 mph, a tight low-80s slider and very good feel for his changeup.
Commitment: Tennessee
Peter Flaherty III
@PeterGFlaherty
Marek Houston has put on a lot of good weight since last spring and
now more than looks the part. Was impacting and driving the baseball more this
fall, just hammered his first HR of the season. Plus B2B skills. First rounder
this July.
MLB: Here's the High
School All-Prospect Team for the '25 Draft
SS: Billy Carlson, Corona
(Calif.)
With an arm that fires mid-90s fastballs on the mound and at
least plus defensive actions, Carlson is a no-doubt shortstop long term …
unless someone wants to draft him as a pitcher. He’s gotten stronger and faster
with the chance to be a five-tool type at a premium position.
Commitment: Tennessee
OF: Eli Willits, Fort-Cobb
Broxton (Okla.)
Reggie’s kid has played a lot of shortstop but looked good in
the outfield for Team USA. He’s a switch-hitter with outstanding contact skills
who doesn’t chase much, and he might have 15-homer type power. His speed and
instincts help him wherever he lines up defensively.
Commitment: Oklahoma
OF: Slater de Brun, Summit
(Ore.)
The 5-foot-9 de Brun gives off some Corbin Carroll vibes, and
not just because he’s also from the Pacific Northwest. He makes a ton of
contact and gets on base, where his at least plus speed wreaks havoc. Some
think he’s more physical than Carroll was in high school, so there might be
juice to come.
Commitment: Vanderbilt
OF: Brock Sell, Tokay (Calif.)
He’s the best prep player in Northern California, with a
quick left-handed swing and a plus pure hit tool. He’s more hit over power now,
and there’s some debate over future impact, but there is agreement that his
speed plays on both sides of the ball.
Commitment: Stanford
