College Prospects headline MLB Pipeline’s top draft prospects

Heading into the last month of the college baseball regular season, who are the top collegiate draft prospects for this July?

Believe it or not, the college baseball regular season is nearing the end of its regular season. Later this month, conference tournaments will begin around the country. The earliest coming next week is with the Patriot League’s conference tournament beginning May 13. The other 27 conferences will hold their tournaments mostly between May 19 and May 28.

Following the conclusion of the conference tournament the NCAA baseball tournament selection show is set for Monday, May 29 at noon on ESPN2 before regionals start that Friday, June 2. Then over the next three weeks, the field will narrow down from 64 teams to just two leading up to the College World Series Finals on Saturday, June 24.

With that all being said, not only is this regular season coming down the stretch and to the make-or-break point for teams across the country. It’s also the make-or-break for hundreds of MLB draft prospects. This year’s MLB draft is set for July 9 through July 11, coinciding with MLB All-Star Week in Seattle.

Recently, MLB Pipeline released their 150 top draft prospect for this year’s draft, and to no surprise, it has a heavy college presence. Out of the 150 prospects, 81 are collegiate prospects including eight of the top 10.

Below, we take a look at who the top collegiate prospects in this year’s MLB Draft are as well as a brief look at their ongoing seasons and their individual skill sets. For college baseball fans, the top two prospects on the list should come as little or no surprise as both players are posting tremendous seasons for one of the country’s top programs.
