Here is the breakdown on player movement within the Baseball America 2027 top 100 draft prospects (apologies for the formatting):
Name POS 1 (100) 2 (100)
Casan Evans RHP 14 12
William Schmidt RHP 15 13
Sebastian Castillo SS 48 29
Drake Hawpe OF 53 30
Jacob Seamon OF 13 34
Samir Mohammed RHP 40 35
Graham Houston SS 36 37
Bino Watters OF 59 56
Dawson Park SS NR 91

For reference, Malachi Washington was the highest ranked guy at this time that ended up on campus. He was ranked 43.

Castillo, Hawpe, Houston, and Mohammed on the 18U USA team. Thanks for the heads up.

Castillo and Hawpe live pretty close to each other and work out together.

Surprised Houston is the guy they moved off SS to play 2nd. He's a defensive wizard.
Castillo I think has or will soon outgrow shortstop but I think him playing first in this tournament is more about 1B being an extra spot to play guys they have rostered for other positions. They're not going to roster a 1B only guy for a tournament like this. I think Castillo's future is at 3B.

the SS Seward is the projected number 1 overall draft prospect even over college players

I'm not sure how heavily we will pursue this, but we seem to be at least kicking the tires on Lyndon Glidewell, a guy that pitched at Miami last year and just got a 5th year of eligibility through an injunction.
ETA: Unlike the guy Arkansas currently has on their roster, Glidewell did participate in any professional baseball this past summer. He pitched in the MLB draft league, but only in the first half, which is the summer collegiate league portion. (the second half is the Indy League portion)

What kind of prospect is Owen Nugent? Saw he committed to Delgado.

We just landed Dexter McLeon Jr out of Buford HS. He is #5 overall player in the 2028 class.

His dad played for the Rams but was also a big time baseball prospect out of high school I believe.
Big get, skeptical he ever sees a classroom though.

I seem to remember a good ball player from Mississippi back in the day named Dexter McCleon. We played in the MS HS All-Star game together. I believe he played both football and baseball.
I bet this is his son.

what tipped it off?
Posted on 10/22/26 at 4:51 pm to ProjectP2294
Right. If I recall he was from Meridian and ended up playing DB at Clemson.
Posted on 10/22/26 at 4:53 pm to SoloTiger
He was drafted by the Twins in the 13th round and ended up playing both sports at Clemson. Not sure how long he played baseball there. He was on the Rams Super Bowl winning team.

He was a dude for sure. Reminds me how old I am.
Looked up Junior. He clocked a 6.41 60 last year at a showcase.

Competes his tail off. Really good stuff but I don't think he's gotten to 90 mph yet. He usually has command but can get erratic at times. I think he'll get more looks if the velo ticks up, and I think it could based on his build but I also think he needs to clean up the delivery some to get there. He's working at K9 right now, which is a great spot to get cleaned up.
He can probably be a two-way guy at Delgado if that is where he ends up and that is what he wants to do. I think his ticket is on the mound but he's also got some upside as a hitter.
