Best Pure Hitter: Louisville 3B Jake Munroe (4) is a big and physical hitter with a 6-foot-2, 230-pound frame, but his swing is short, compact and leads to plenty of contact. He hit .346/.451/.593 during the 2025 season and has shown the ability to make adjustments to a variety of pitch types.

Best Power Hitter: Georgia 3B Slate Alford (9) was a consistent source of power for Georgia in both the 2024 and 2025 seasons, when he combined for 36 home runs and 29 doubles. In his four-year career, which includes a pair of seasons with Mississippi State, he homered 46 times. Alford boasts plus raw power to the pull side and showed top end exit velocities in the 114-115 mph range this spring. 

Fastest Runner: Florida State OF Gage Harrelson (16) is a plus runner who stole 15 bases in 18 attempts (83.3%) this spring. In a three-year career that includes two seasons with Texas Tech, he went 40-for-47 (85.1%) on the bases. He has the speed to play center field and cover plenty of ground.

Best Defensive Player: Arizona State OF Isaiah Jackson (8) is only an average runner, but his instincts in center field are tremendous and allow him to be a plus defender at the position. He became the team’s everyday center fielder as a freshman in 2023, is a two-time Pac-12 all-defensive team member and has some of the more polished and advanced defensive instincts in the class. Jackson regularly gets a quick first step and runs excellent routes to mitigate his average foot speed.

Best Fastball: LSU RHP Chase Shores (2) is a towering flamethrower who averaged 97 mph with his fastball this spring and has pushed the pitch up to 102, making it one of the hardest pitches in the class. It’s more of a running fastball than a riding one, and he could have some room to improve its swing-and-miss qualities still. High school RHP CJ Gray (5) is worth a mention, as well, because he has already been up to 99 mph with a potential 70-grade heater and eye-popping arm speed.

Best Secondary Pitch: UC Santa Barbara RHP Tyler Bremner (1) has an elite changeup that gives him an out pitch against both lefties and righties. It’s a 70-grade offering that rivaled prep righty Seth Hernandez for the best changeup in the class. It has great separation from his fastball, and he has an uncanny ability to spot the pitch where he wants.

Best Pro Debut: Alford (9) was the team’s most impressive debut hitter. He hit .289/.435/.433 with a pair of home runs, a triple and six doubles in 28 games with Low-A Inland Empire. On the pitching side, Ole Miss RHP Sam Tookoian (20) threw 8.2 shutout innings out of the bullpen for High-A Tri-City, with 14 strikeouts and just three walks. He did so while pushing his fastball to 97 mph and showing solid feel for a high-spin, sweepy slider in the low 80s. 

Best Athlete: Texas high school LHP Johnny Slawinski (3) was a standout multi-sport athlete who excelled in baseball, football, basketball and track. On the bump, he has a well-rounded four-pitch mix to go with solid control and a frame that should have plenty of room to add more strength in the coming years.

Most Intriguing Background: Mississippi high school LHP Talon Haley (12) has already overcome more obstacles in his life by graduation than many people experience in their lives. He was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in 2022 and went through chemotherapy treatment to beat the disease while simultaneously recovering from Tommy John surgery. After that, he had another tear in his UCL that kept him out of the 2024 showcase circuit. He wowed scouts during the spring of his senior year with a fastball that got up to 97 mph from the left side and a high-spin curveball with plus potential. 

Closest To The Majors: Bremner (1) might need a bit more refinement with a slider that has been inconsistent at times, but otherwise, he’s as ready-made as they come on the mound. He has one of the more extensive track records as a high-level college starter with the velocity and command to move exceptionally quickly—a great fit for the rapid conveyor belt that is the Angels farm system. 

Best 11+ Round Pick (Or UDFA): Haley (12) is a no-brainer selection here, because his talent made him a fit in the first three rounds. But the Angels also took a big shot on Texas prep LHP Robert Mitchell (13) who has a frame to dream on at 6-foot-4, 175 pounds and a pair of above-average pitches in his fastball and hammer curve.
