6 (179) - Bruin Agbayani, SS, Saint Louis (HI) School
18 years old. 6-2, 185.

Parents always hope their kids will surpass their achievements and there's no question that Benny Agbayani, a 30th-round pick in 1993 who spent parts of five seasons in the big leagues, wants that for his son Bruin, the top player coming out of Hawaii in this Draft class. The high school shortstop proved his mettle at events like the Area Code Games and Perfect Game's WWBA world championship last fall, then made a strong impression with a hard-hit triple and some impressive on-base skills during the MLB Draft Combine High School Game in June. The Hawaii Gatorade Player of the Year, the younger Agbayani is a couple of inches taller than his dad and unlike Benny, he hits left-handed. Bruin's feel to hit is his carrying tool, with at least above-average bat speed and a feel for finding the barrel and controlling the zone. There's some loft to his pull side, as evidenced when he turned around a 93 mph fastball at the Combine for his 106 mph triple to right-center field. It's a hit-over-power profile right now, with more gap pop than anything, though it's not too hard to dream on more damage in the future. An above-average runner who is aggressive on the basepaths, Agbayani's bat comes with some questions about where he can play defensively at the next level. He probably doesn't have the actions or hands to stay on the dirt, with the best option likely to be left field. He's committed to Michigan if the Draft doesn't go his way. - MLB.com

7 (209) - Jacob McCombs, OF, UC-Irvine
21 years old. 6-2, 200.

UC Irvine made it to the postseason in 2024 but lost to Oregon State in Regional play. The Anteaters used the portal to bring in reinforcements to build a potentially better roster, and the nationally ranked club has been led in 2025 by a pair of transfers, shortstop Colin Yeaman and McCombs, an outfielder who moved over from San Diego State after only 81 at-bats as a freshman there. The move has paid off, as McCombs has performed his way onto a short list of intriguing Draft-eligible sophomores. McCombs is an aggressive left-handed hitter who has shown a propensity for making contact. He rarely strikes out, but walks even less, and he likely will have to tone down his desire to swing at everything at the next level. Not everyone loves his swing and setup, as he starts with very high hands over his shoulder, though it's worked for him. He's also shown he can tap into some raw power as well, with a short swing despite the mechanics. Strong and athletic, McCombs is more of an average runner, though his speed plays a tick better when he's in the outfield; some scouts think he has a chance to stick in center field long-term as at least an average defender with an average arm. He makes the most of his abilities with an all-out approach, with a chance to be at least a solid fourth outfielder-type who has the skills to play all three outfield spots. - MLB.com

8 (239) - Ryan Sprock, 3B, Elon University
21 years old. 5-10, 205. 

Slashed .321/.411/.593 with 14 home runs and also pitched (19 strikeouts in 17 1/3 innings with a fastball up to 96 mph) for Elon, but will ditch pitching. Fringe defender. Sprocked had entered the transfer portal after the season.

9 (269) - Justin Mitrovich, RHP, Elon University
22 years old. 6-3, 200.

The draw of Mitrovich are his secondary pitches. He has a plus changeup and an above-average slider. His 95.3 mph fastball was the fourth-fastest at the combine. He's a strike-thrower already and has more room to fill out physically. Profiles as a starter.

10 (299) - Shai Robinson, SS, Illinois St
21 years old. 6-1, 195. 

Smooth and athletic. Plus-arm with raw power. May not be a shortstop long-term.
