On The Clock | College Baseball and MLB Draft                            @OnTheClock_1


With LSU baseball completely reloading, it’s easy to forget about junior outfielder and true vibes guy Jake Brown who posted a .920 OPS for the defending champion LSU Tigers

.320/.407/.528

9 2B   8 HR   48 RBI   11 SB

Need more people talking about UCLA baseball’s 1B Mulivai Levu

Hit .320 and finished second in the country with 85 RBI last season. Gold Glove winner after committing just one error in 569 chances at first base. Bruins have a stacked 2026 lineup

MLB Draft news: Kaiden McCarthy, RHP from Vermont and Baseball America’s No. 15 player in the 2027 class, is reclassifying and will be eligible for the 2026 draft.

A Tennessee commit, McCarthy is a 6-foot, 185-pound righthander whose athleticism helps him repeat a sound delivery and fill the strike zone. He pitches heavily off a fastball with good armside run that trended up throughout 2025, sitting in the low 90s for much of the summer before spiking to reach 97 mph in the fall. He complements his fastball with a changeup that has good sink and fade along with a slider that has good depth and solid tilt.

 

Dominic Voegele, RHP, Kansas
Voegele was drafted in the 20th round by the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2023, but opted to go to Kansas instead. He earned a spot in the weekend rotation as a freshman, starting 15 games and recording a 3.89 ERA with 80 strikeouts and 29 walks in 81 innings. Voegele is a classic pitchability arm. His stuff isn’t overpowering, but he has excellent feel for his fastball/sweeper arsenal and is in control of the game when he is on the mound. His command and current two-pitch mix provide a strong foundation, and it will be interesting to see if he can further develop his curveball and changeup to give him a deeper arsenal to work with. Voegele is the Friday night starter for Kansas this year and should be in the running for Big 12 Pitcher of the Year.

Texas A&M landed one of the best pure hitters in the country out of the portal

Chris Hacopian hit .347 with 22 doubles, 29 homers, and 103 RBI over his two seasons at Maryland. Day one pick in July. Electric bat to watch in the SEC this year
