Austin is a great runner, and athletic enough to play almost anywhere on the diamond. I’m a fan of him at 2B, but he could have a chance in CF. The approach is sound, with minimal whiff to his game. He’ll chase a bit, but the swing decisions are still strong-average. He put up a 111 mph max EV with a .325 xwOBAcon and a 22.6% barrel rate, showing that the power output will likely be a tick above average. The launch angles are just alright, and it’s more gap to gap right now, but he’s shown the ability to loft. Always willing to take a bet on an SEC performer with this level of athleticism.

The Dutk looked filthy at the start of his freshman year but missed the rest of it due to an injury. He has an invisiball in the mid-90s, up to 98, and mixes in a power-slider in the mid-80s. He doesn't land either of them for strikes but has the stuff to jump into first round conversations. He's now sophomore eligible and has some of the best upside of any college pitcher.

Holton's an undersized lefty that gets up to 97 and sits 92-95. Despite the above-average velo his four-seam is below-average because of the shape. His low-80s slider can get up to 87 and his curveball ranges from 75-80. He lacks feel for both of them and neither has a good enough shape to make up for its lack of feel, so both are below-average. His changeup has been used the least, and nothing about it is special but he has landed them for strikes. His fastball command is above-average but his stuff is below-average and he doesn't have the secondaries to be a starter at the next level for now. That could change in the spring, but he's not a finished product.

Sitting in the low-90s with 18” of carry from a low slot, Thompson has already seen amazing results on the four-seamer with more to come pending a velocity bump. His best secondary pitch is his slider, which he throws at 80 mph with 7” of sweep. He drew 35% whiffs and 35% chases on the offering, while limiting hard contact. He also throws a 2-plane CB, which has been a solid whiff pitch, and a change-up at 13.1% usage. It’s a smaller frame, but still room for 15 pounds.

Cunningham is massive and filled out but already sits 93-97 and gets up to 99 with ride on a heater with a vertical axis. He sprays it but lands it at the top for whiffs. His slider ranges from the low-to-mid-80s and has a large drop-off in velocity considering the lack of movement in its shape, he can land it at times but doesn't do it consistent enough. He's flashed some good-looking changeups and has the makings of a starter. His heater is above-average but the slider and changeup are both 40-grade pitches. He's a great bet to click when he gets into a pro development setting.

A Georgetown transfer, Bokwer has been in the mid-90s during the pre-season with Vanderbilt. He throws from a 4.8’ release height with above-average extension, and draws whiffs on the offering despite poor shape. He throws a sweeper with 16” of glove-side which averaged 78 mph last year, but will also benefit from the velocity bump. I’m high on the change-up, which has the upside to be a plus pitch. He throws a bullet slider/cutter profile for a 4th offering.

Diaz nearly signed out of high school with the Diamondbacks but ended up on campus where he struggled out of the gates. As a sophomore, he turned it around and put together a much better season with improved bat speed, similarly plus bat-to-ball skills and a patient approach that drew walks despite below-average swing decisions. He's a solid athlete that can stick up the middle but lacks thump and will need to defend at 2B or SS if his arm can hold up on the left side.

He’ll play average 2B, but the hit tool is the headliner here. The bat-to-ball skills might be double plus as he rarely whiffs, despite a slightly elevated chase rate. As you might expect there’s some variance in his batted ball spray, and he’s not lofting the ball on a regular basis. The EVs are average and he’s had some success creating power to his pull-side which I’d like to see more of this spring.

Vastine hasn't lived up to the lofty expectations he set as a prep, but he's an above-average defender at short and he has the bat speed to at least hit double-digit bombs in the show. Ordinarily his approach and bat-to-ball have been the limiting tools in college, and both looked solid before getting on campus. He's aggressive and swung 52% of the time last year. His glove the attraction and here and with an improved hit tool he jumps back into that top-3 round talk.

Carter has the velo to end up being alright, but his shapes are rough right now and because of that he didn't punch out as many hitters as you would've expected from a guy sitting 95-98. He's been up to 101 and has some occasional cut on his heater; it'll only get better when he starts cutting it consistently. His breaker is atrocious, his feel for it is fringy and it's a slurve at 78-81. He lacks feel for spin and really only has his FF/CH combo. He's a developmental project for a player dev staff since he throws gas, but he's not even close to a finished product.
