A quick recap from yesterday:
1 (16) - Marek Houston, SS, Wake Forest
21 years old. 6-3, 190. #18 on the Consensus Board
Comp A (36) - Riley Quick, RHP, Alabama
21 years old. 6-6, 250. #32 on the Consensus Board
2 (54) - Quentin Young, 3B, Oaks Christian (CA) HS
18 years old. 6-5, 215. #51 on the Consensus Board
3 (88) - James Ellwanger, RHP, Dallas Baptist
21 years old. 6-5, 205. #87 on the Consensus Board
4 (119) - Jason Reitz, RHP, Oregon
21 years old. 6-11, 215. #208 on the Consensus Board
After missing his senior season of high school in California following Tommy John surgery, Reitz had two up-and-down years pitching mostly in relief at St. Mary's before throwing relatively well in the Cape Cod League a summer ago and transferring to Oregon. He began the year once again as a reliever with mixed results, but he took an opportunity as the Ducks' Sunday starter at the beginning of April and ran with it, posting a 2.50 ERA and a 0.98 WHIP over seven starts before regional play. A gangly presence on the mound at 6-foot-11, Reitz does have the chance to start with four potential pitches to work on as he moves forward in his fastball, cutter, slider and changeup. He and the Ducks have a tendency to pitch a little backwards and lean too heavily on his mid-80s cutter, though it has the chance to be a solid pitch. His fastball has been up to 97-98 mph, sitting more around 93, and he shows off the makings of a separate slider and a decent changeup. Reitz has struggled to be a consistent strike-thrower throughout his college career, though he found the zone more as a starter in the second half of this spring. He also doesn't take full advantage of his size, with a short stride to the plate cutting off what could be impressive extension. Not everyone loves pitchers this big, but his improvement as Oregon moved into postseason play and the possibility of unlocking more with some delivery tweaks could be very intriguing. - MLB.com
5 (149) - Matt Barr, RHP, SUNY Niagara CC (NY)
19 years old. 6-6, 195. #151 on the Consensus Board
Niagara County Community College, now known as SUNY Niagara, has had 10 players drafted from the program, including two pitchers in the 2023 class led by Brewers third-rounder Ryan Birchard. Barr has the chance to join Birchard as just the second Thunderwolves player to go in the top five rounds after vaulting to the top of junior college prospects lists this spring and making scouts log the miles up close to Lake Ontario to check him out. At 6-foot-6, the long-limbed Barr oozes projection from the mound, and he already has some pretty exciting now stuff. He throws everything with a ton of spin, including a fastball he can crank up to 97 mph with good life. Both his slider and curve register elite-level spin rates and help him miss a ton of bats at the NJCAA DIII level. Barr's control will need refinement; he's shown he can be around the strike zone, but his command can be scattered. There's conviction among scouts that, given the ease of operation and the loose and athletic delivery, he'll be a decent strike-thrower in time. He's a bit raw, but the ingredients are all there, including the ability to add strength, to make him an intriguing early-round possibility. - MLB.com
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. (Draft-eligible sophomore)
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.
11 (329) - Ryan Daniels, 2B, Connecticut
21 years old. 6-1, 200.
The Big East Player of the Year in 2025 was at part-time starter at UConn for his first two years before moving into the role full-time in 2025. After hitting three home runs in his first two years, he turned the corner as a junior sending 18 balls over the fence. He walked almost as many times (40) and he struck out (41) and his slash line of .365/.476/.744 in 2025 came out of nowhere after hitting .197/.329/.377 as a sophomore.
12 (359) - Kolten Smith, RHP, Georgia
21 years old. 6-3, 208.
Smith entered the year as a potential second-round pick, but a rough spring (5.23 ERA, albeit with 58 strikeouts in 41 1/3 innings) dinged his stock. He lost velocity and trust in his fastball, which topped out at 93 mph after reaching 96 in the past, and became overly dependent on his plus mid-80s sweeper. At his best, he's a four-pitch starter who provides strikes. - MLB.com
13 (389) - Callan Fang, RHP, Harvard
21 years old. 6-3, 208.
14 (419) - Merit Jones, RHP, Utah
21 years old. 6-4, 200.
A Twins redraft (20th round in 2024), Jones is committed to Houston for his senior year after spending his collegiate career at Utah. Jones had an impressive showing in the Draft League, striking out 33 in 21 innings and having a sub-0.9 WHIP. He throws five pitches with a fastball that tops out at 95 mph.
15 (449) - Reed Moring, RHP, UC Santa Barbara
20 years old. 6-1, 190.
Moring has primarily been a reliever during his time at UCSB, but started this summer on the Cape. In his college career, Moring struck out 94 in exactly 100 innings and struck out 21 in 17 2/3 innings as a junior.
16 (479) - Jonathan Stevens, RHP, Alabama
20 years old. 6-1, 215. (Draft-eligible sophomore)
The Twins draft their fourth pitcher from Alabama in the last four years only the uniqueness here is that Stevens hasn't thrown a single pitch for the Crimson Tide. He struck out 13 in 11 innings over six appearances. Committed to UAB with three years of eligibility left. Fastball up to 98 mph. 90 mph cutter, mid-80s slider, low-80s spiltter. Schedule to pitch in the Cape Cod All-Star Game on Saturday.
17 (509) - JP Smith II, 3B, Sacramento State
21 years old. 6-2, 240.
After hitting 22 home runs in 2024, the power backed up in 2024, but the batting average went out and the strikeout-rate dropped. The Twins usually lean into guys who played well on the Cape, but Smith really struggled there in 2024, posting an OPS of .477. Defensively, while being drafted as a third baseman, Smith is most likely destined to be a first baseman given his build and the fact that he's played only one game at 3B (in summer league) in the last three years.
Smith is a big-bodied first base/DH type with plus raw power. There are swing-and-miss concerns he’ll have to address once he gets to the pro game, but his ability to drive the ball to all fields could be interesting in the later rounds. He’s a below average defender. - MLB.com
18 (539) - Matthew Dalquist, RHP, UC San Diego
22 years old. 5-10, 195. (Senior)
Dalquist made 31 starts in his college career. He struck out 67 in his last 81 1/3 innings. Dalquist had a rough go on the Cape in 2024, allowing 26 earned runs in only 19 2/3 innings.
19 (569) - Matthew Becker, LHP, South Carolina
22 years old. 6-3, 215. (Senior)
Becker profiles as a two-pitcher reliever who has put up impressive strikeout numbers (12.2 K/9) throughout his entirely collegiate career.
20 (599) - Michael Hilker, RHP, Arizona
21 years old. 6-1, 190.
Hilker spent one year in Arizona after transferring from DIII UW-Whitewater. As a Wildcat, he struggled to a 6.45 ERA and a K/9 of under 8. But in his sophomore season as a Warhawk, he had 0.87 WHIP and a K/9 of 12.0 in 87 1/3 innings.
