Campbell is another college pitcher with underwhelming raw stuff but premium ingredients (i.e., physical ability, command and three solid pitches) for the Cleveland style of pitching development where stuff can often be improved quickly.

He has 30-homer raw power and above-average defensive skills in center, with flashes of good swing decisions but also long streaks of "what was he thinking?" He has done nothing but hit and play shortstop effectively both for Cal Poly and in the summers, but every scout I've spoken with thinks he'll quickly slide over to third base in pro ball. If you believe that set of facts (I mostly do), then he moves to the top of this tier of college bats. 51. There is a delineation point from the initial top two tiers of 12 players to the rest of this list where there will certainly be plenty of movement in the four-plus months until draft day, so here is an overview of some who stand out for making -- or not making -- the top 100 before we move on to listing the remaining players. 19. Rumors are his asking price for a bonus is at least $3 million and maybe $4 million, so there's a real shot he ends up at Vanderbilt, where he would miss being sophomore-eligible by days. 29.

Hunter Owen (21.3), LHP, Vanderbilt. He flashes three plus pitches pretty often and has the components to stay a starter, along with a track record of being at the top of this class all the way back to his freshman year in high school. Hurston Waldrep (21.3), RHP, Florida Miller is still a stuff-over-command prep righty, which makes him the riskiest subset of pitcher, but he got a lot better this spring, highlighted by a couple outings that had scouts raving. Burns is another overwhelming power arm at Tennessee, Smith now sits in the mid-90s with a plus slider, Brecht is a 6-foot-4 wide receiver who was 98-101 mph on opening weekend, Holton is another lefty who was into the mid-90s opening weekend, while Shores has regularly been in the upper 90s since getting to campus, and Saunier sat in the mid-90s in his college debut. This spring was a disaster with inconsistent swing mechanics and less bat speed while facing mostly weak competition and having poor performances when he did face good competition -- and a couple injuries on top of that. Schultz was good last summer, then missed a couple months to start the spring because illness. I still believe Lesko has the best shot to become a major league ace from the prep ranks in a long time; he has the best changeup I've ever seen below the big league level and looks like a Walker Buehler clone when he's not throwing that pitch. Misiorowski is a projection arm who exploded this year, sitting in the upper 90s with 20 command early this spring, then he started throwing strikes, and some scouts hung a perfect 80 grade on his slider. Clubs with good hitting development are lining up around this point of the draft. He had preseason Tommy John surgery and didn't pitch last summer, so teams with strong underclass scouting operations figure to be more likely to draft him. Which players could finish the season on a different team? Now there are more concerns that he ends up a reliever than last year, but he'll show three plus pitches so he might get to the big leagues quickly. 37. Prospect Rankings.

His content appears regularly on ESPN.com, including analysis exclusive for ESPN+ subscribers. Could the Yankees find another Aaron Judge? Realignment chatter: How the Pac-12 holds the key to it all. I believe he'll hit and play third -- and there's raw power to tap into -- but he's not quite as dynamic as the top three and hasn't played at the ACC level like Parada, so he's just behind those guys right now. Who has the most talent in the minors? His Stanford commitment makes him a tough sign, but there are some similar elements to Kevin Parada at the same stage and a handful of teams are thinking about paying up to sign him. Noah Schultz (18.9), LHP, Oswego East HS (IL), Vanderbilt commit, Velo: 91-94 t96, Fastball: 50/60, Slider: 55/60, Changeup: 45/55, Command: 40/50. 5y. 20.
