In concert with our updated overall March draft rankings, we’ve also updated our list of the top high school draft prospects in the country.
Texas shortstop Grady Emerson remains at the top of the prep class, though there are a few changes behind him. Mississippi outfielder Eric Booth Jr. jumps into the No. 2 spot on the board, with tremendous feedback this spring to go with an electric toolset and extreme youth. Florida shortstop and toolshed Jacob Lombard slides just one spot to No. 3 in the class.
The top five is rounded out by California shortstop Tyler Spangler and Florida southpaw Gio Rojas, who reclaims the No. 1 prep arm in the class status after coming out strong this spring.
