This week, UCL tears hit a.Pablo Lopez – is out for the season with TJS. Who gets his starts? b.Jordan Westburg – has a partially torn UCL to go along with his oblique. He’s on a PRP injection program (Ugh). i.Do you put him on your DND list? 3.The Cardinals signed Ramon Urias to a one-year deal. It’s likely as a backup, but it also puts pressure on JJ Wetherholt to hit. a.We are seeing a number of these “small, pressure signs” this year. 4.Gerrit Cole faced batters in a bullpen session on Saturday and reportedly looked good, hitting 97 to 98 on the radar gun. a.I know there’s risk, but it is Gerrit Cole. I grabbed him in the 19th round and I’m very happy about that. Your thoughts? 5.The Guardians sign Rhys Hoskins to a minor league deal as insurance for Kayfus and Manzardo. However, if somebody slips, he should get some playing time. a.Interested?

Then, go through the next 30 in less detail.

    2300 - First Year Player Draft - Top 20 Players

    The following players are discussed: 1. Ethan Holliday (SS, Col) - Advanced bat, plus hit tool, developing power, solid athlete 2. Kade Anderson (LHP, Sea) - Advanced command, polished pitch mix, competitive edge; mid‑rotation with strikeout upside. 3. Tatsuya Imai (RHP, Hou) - Undersized right-handed hitter with a lower three-quarters delivery. 97 to 99 MPH fastball that flattens out due to his arm swing. Plus slider. 4. Liam Doyle (LHP, STL) - Swing-and-miss lefty with a deceptive splitter. Could be a high-strikeout SP2 if he stays healthy. 5. Kazuma Okamoto (3B, Tor) - Older prospect who demonstrated plus power and a feel to hit in Japan. 6. JoJo Parker (SS, Tor) - Loud tools, clean health, and trending trajectory; potential middle-of-the-order bat. 7. Ike Irish (C, Bal) - Advanced hit tool, emerging power, and catcher eligibility. Impact upside with multi-category juice. 8. Eli Willits (SS, Was) - Speed/OBP shortstop, needs power to unlock fantasy value. 9. Aiva Arquette (SS, Mia) - Strong-bodied infielder with power upside and defensive versatility 10. Seth Hernandez (RHP, Pit) - 100 MPH fastball and starter traits. Long runway, but top-30 SP ceiling if it clicks. 11. Kyson Witherspoon (RHP, Bos) - Premium pitch traits, no pro debut yet. 12. Wehiwa Aloy (SS, Bal) - 2025 Golden Spikes winner with power, athleticism, and SEC pedigree. Could be a fantasy shortstop with pop. 13. Marek Houston (SS, Min) - High-floor bat with zone control and defensive value. 14. Dax Kilby (SS, NYY) - Strong debut with more speed than originally projected; power continues to be a question mark 15. Steele Hall (SS, Cin) - 80-speed and emerging power. Contact risk is real, but the tools are loud and fantasy-relevant. 16. Gavin Fien (SS, Was) - Advanced bat speed, strong plate discipline, above-average power, versatile defender. 17. Gavin Kilen (SS, SF) - High-contact lefty bat, 15+ HR upside, mature plate discipline 18. Billy Carlson (SS, CHW) - Bat-to-ball skills and defensive value. Power projection remains limited, but everyday role possible. 19. Slater De Brun (OF, TB) - A diminutive, toolsy outfielder with a great-looking swing. 20. Jamie Arnold (LHP, ATH) - He has a plus fastball-slider combination but his lower three-quarters delivery might work best in the bullpen.
