Day One of the MLB Draft is Saturday July 11th (1pm ET; 12pm CT) on NBC, Peacock, and MLB Network, and will be rounds 1 through 4. Day Two (rounds 5-20) is on MLB.com at 11:30am ET; 10:30am CT. Here are the names you will be praying not to hear called. Get 4-5 of these commits I’ve placed in the “Might Be Selected on Day One” range to campus and it’s a major win for the Diamond Dores.
*Note: Coverage of this years draft will be, in a word, weird. Best to just paste in this nonsense here:

Profiled below is not everyone in this ‘26 class, but rather the ones who find themselves in at least two of the following three categories: 1) the MLB.com Top 250 Prospects list, 2) Kylie McDaniel’s ESPN Top 250 Prospects list, and 3) are in the Top 500 according to Perfect Game. Generally speaking, if a prospect is none of those things, it’s extremely unlikely they will be signed away from a Vanderbilt commitment, so go ahead and put them in the “100% likely to get to campus” pile.

*For the bulk of our ‘25 commit list, click here for the Perfect Game list.
Overall: This class has the potential to put Vanderbilt back into the upper echelon of SEC baseball teams within two or three years, and even the potential for a handful of immediate impact starters to put the Diamond Dores back in the ‘27 postseason, competing for a #1 seed. It really can be that good, provided we do not get completely decimated by the MLB draft. Don’t get me wrong, we are absolutely going to lose about a handful of these guys to the early portion of the draft, but this is a deep enough class that I expect this group to be the strongest class of freshmen we will have gotten to campus in quite some time.
Vanderbilt Commits Who Might Be Selected on Day One (Rounds 1-4):
OF Eric Booth Jr.
MLB.com Scouting Report:
Scouting grades: Hit: 55 | Power: 50 | Run: 70 | Arm: 50 | Field: 55 | Overall: 60
Eric Booth Sr. turned down the Blue Jays as a 34th-round pick in 1993 and became a record-setting kick returner at Southern Mississippi. His son has inherited his speed and athleticism and will use it to forge a future in baseball. He has added polish to his swing and defense this spring, and his combination of tools and skills should land him in the top 10 picks.
Booth has an unconventional setup and pumps his hands away from his body, sometimes leaving him with a choppy-looking left-handed stroke. He nevertheless makes consistent contact and barrels balls while displaying a good sense of the strike zone. His bat speed and strength translate into impressive exit velocities and could result in 20-25 homers per year if he smooths out his stroke and launches balls in the air more regularly. He won the home run derby at the Perfect Game All-American Classic last July.
One of the fastest runners in the 2026 high school class, Booth can get from home to first in a little over four seconds and ran the quickest 60-yard dash (6.33 seconds) at the East Coast Pro showcase in August. To make the most of his plus-plus speed, the Vanderbilt recruit will need to hone his basestealing instincts and improve his reads and routes in center field, and he’s making strides in both areas. He has addressed the biggest weakness in his game, working to improve his arm strength to average.
ESPN Scouting Report:
Tools: Hit: 50, Power: 60, Run: 65, Field: 50, Arm: 50
On the summer showcase circuit, Booth was a speedster with more pop than expected, but he added a lot of strength by this spring. A scouting director was standing next to me when we were trying to identify Booth as his team was walking up not wearing numbers to start batting practice this spring. The director had seen Booth the day before and said, “He’s the guy that looks like an SEC running back.”
Booth has explosive, plus-plus bat speed and still runs really well; some scouts might hang a 70 grade on both tools. He’s also exceptionally patient, with a 20% walk rate in the summer and he would sometimes go full games this spring with just a handful of swings. In the game I saw, he didn’t put a ball in play but walked or was hit by a pitch four times in four at-bats before the run rule was implemented.
He is still a bit raw on the bases and in center field, but you can see the shape of a potential star coming together, provided he can make the needed swing changes. His bat-to-ball skills are solid, but Booth’s timing mechanism and the angle at which his bat enters the strike zone need to be tweaked so he can pull/lift the ball to take advantage of his power. In the wake of another Mississippi prep making these adjustments quickly in Konnor Griffin, maybe teams are being too aggressive in assuming this will happen quickly, but in a draft that’s short on huge upside, Booth allows scouts and player development personnel to dream.
Range: Top half of Round 1.

Perfect Game Top 500 Ranking: 6.
Prediction: Literally everyone expects Booth to be taken within the top 10 picks of the draft. Forget his name. He’s not coming.

SS Aiden Ruiz
MLB.com Scouting Report:
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 40 | Run: 55 | Arm: 60 | Field: 65 | Overall: 50
In 2024, The Stony Brook School from Long Island, New York, won the 2024 NYSAIS State Championship. In 2025, the school held its own by going 2-2 at USA Baseball’s National High School Invitational. At the center of it all for the Bears was Ruiz, their shortstop, who then went on to perform at summer events like the East Coast Professional Showcase and Area Code Games. He also manned shortstop for Team USA, moving fellow Draft prospect Grady Emerson to third, and was named to the All-World team as the U.S. brought home gold in the WBSC U-18 World Cup.
An undersized switch-hitter who is listed at 5-foot-10 and 168 pounds, Ruiz is arguably the best defensive shortstop in the class. He’s an elite defender with a plus arm and range, great hands and outstanding footwork. Unlike with many young players at the premium position, Ruiz not only makes the spectacular, acrobatic plays, throwing on the run, he also slows the game down and makes the routine plays as well. It’s future Gold Glove-caliber defense.
An above-average runner whose instincts help him be a successful base-stealer, Ruiz’s bat is behind his glove. He makes a ton of contact with an idea of what he’s doing at the plate, excellent bat control and no fear, showing an ability to turn around premium velocity. But he’s done it without too much damage or impact to date, and showing some ability to drive the ball could certainly help the Vanderbilt recruit’s Draft stock.
Range: Bottom half of Round 1 to Round 2.
Perfect Game Top 500 Ranking: 47.
Prediction: Ruiz is also likely gone, provided his agent’s asking for slot value commensurate to where he’s ranked (let’s say this is $1.5-$2 million). If he’s got a Tyler Beede sized number in mind, then, like Beede, he’s likely coming to The Hawk. I’d forget his name unless I tell you otherwise.

LHP Sean Duncan
MLB.com Scouting Report:
Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50
A majority of big league talent to be drafted out of British Columbia in Canada has been of the position player variety, with Tyler O’Neill and Brett Lawrie the most recent top three round success stories. The last time a high school pitcher went early from the province was back in 2002 when left-hander Adam Loewen was the No. 4 overall pick in the Draft. A fellow southpaw, Duncan looked like he had a very good chance to end that drought, first exciting scouts after throwing well at various showcase events last summer and fall, then standing out this spring during trips to Arizona in Florida. He walked off the mound with an elbow injury during a spring outing with Team Canada in the Dominican Republic, and though it was confirmed in early June that he would require Tommy John surgery, the industry was still bullish on him being drafted and signed.
A projectable 6-foot-3 lefty, Duncan has shown steady progress stuff-wise while being in front of scouts a lot since age 14 pitching for Canada’s junior national team. He was sitting around 88-89 mph with his fastball then and kind hovered in that range, with scouts waiting for a leap forward. It’s possible that started to happen at the Futures Showcase, when he was up to 95 mph — sitting 93 — with his heater. He’s also shown the ability to show off at least above-average secondary stuff, really selling his deceptive changeup with excellent arm speed and snapping off very good breaking stuff when he stays on top of it.
Not only does Duncan have a true three-pitch mix (it’s not too difficult to dream about three above-average-to-plus offerings in the future), he’s shown a propensity for strike-throwing and understanding how to mix all of his pitches. He’s committed to Vanderbilt for college, but there was conviction he would still go in the first few rounds and rehab his elbow under pro instruction.
Range: Rounds 2-3.
Perfect Game Top 500 Ranking: 58.
Prediction: No matter what happens in the draft, Duncan is not pitching in 2027 due to injury. If that arm injury scares off MLB teams, then we have an eventual stud on the mound as a sophomore like we did with Jordan Sheffield. What we’re hearing is Duncan is still likely to be chosen relatively early and given his desired signing bonus. Still, this is the first name on this list who is even a possibility to come to campus, due to his injury.

Chance He Signs With an MLB Team: 80%.
RHP Joseph Contreras
MLB.com Scouting Report:
Scouting grades: Fastball: 55 | Slider: 55 | Forkball: 60 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 45 | Overall: 50
The son of former All-Star José Contreras, Joseph inherited his father’s 6-foot-4 frame and aptitude for throwing a forkball. He helped Blessed Trinity HS (Roswell, Ga.) win the state 4-A title in 2025 while his velocity and prospect stock were making significant jumps. He could fit into the top two rounds as one of the higher-ceiling arms in the high school class, though teams will have to sign him away from a Vanderbilt commitment.
After topping out at 91 mph in 2024, Contreras now works at 92-95 and peaks at 98 with his four-seam fastball, though it doesn’t stand out in terms of life or shape. He did manage to jam Aaron Judge with a 94-mph heater and induce a broken-bat double play while pitching for Brazil during the World Baseball Classic. He still has room to pack plenty of muscle on his lanky frame, so he could add more power to his heater and his secondary offerings. His best pitch is a 77-81 mph forkball that dies at the plate, though both his 82-85 mph slider and 80-83 mph changeup with fade are solid weapons as well.
Contreras has a clean arm action and delivers his pitches from a high three-quarters slot with short extension, creating some reliever risk. He throws his fastball for strikes and gets chases with the rest of his arsenal, though he still requires more polish. He needs to improve the quality and command with his heater and show that his forkball, slider and changeup will work against more discerning hitters.
Range: Rounds 2-3.
Perfect Game Top 500 Ranking: 41.
Prediction: Generally speaking, the sons of former MLB All-Stars who have already struck out Aaron Judge in international competition tend to attract the eye of MLB scouts. I would be pretty shocked if Contreras ever pitches for the Diamond Dores.
Chance He Signs With an MLB Team: 90%.
SS James Tronstein
MLB.com Scouting Report:
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 45 | Run: 55 | Arm: 50 | Field: 50 | Overall: 40
Harvard-Westlake High School in southern California has produced high-end Draft talent, from first-round quality arms like Lucas Giolito, Max Fried and Jack Flaherty to exciting hitters like Pete Crow-Armstrong and most recently, 2024 first-rounder Bryce Rainer. This year’s entry is Tronstein, whose Draft stock was up in the air after he scuffled some on the summer showcase circuit but turned things around this spring, particularly in front of a lot of eyes at USA Baseball’s National High School Invitational.
An athletic 5-foot-11 right-handed bat, Tronstein is an aggressive hitter who is looking to do damage at all times. He’s able to hit the ball very hard, like he did with some elite exit velocities at NHSI, and can drive the ball to all fields with some sneaky pop. He had a tendency to chase too much out of the zone over the summer, leading to some swing-and-miss concerns, and he has a penchant for lunging against soft stuff too much, something that will have to be addressed at the next level.
Tronstein is an above-average runner, plus underway, and his speed can help him on both sides of the ball. He’s played both shortstop and the outfield, and while he has an average arm, scouts tend to like him better in center, where his athleticism plays well, because his arm might be a bit shy for plays in the hole. The biggest hurdle for teams considering Tronstein might be his commitment to Vanderbilt.
Range: Rounds 2-10.

Perfect Game Top 500 Ranking: 66.
Prediction: As you can see from the rankings above, there is not exactly an industry consensus on the Harvard Westlake SS. This, however, has been the type of player Tim Corbin has been able to convince to come to Vanderbilt time and again, with the promise of turning him into the next Dansby the Mansby. I think Tronstein is a Dore, but if not, we have a lot of interesting shortstops in this class.
Chance He Signs With an MLB Team: 50%.
SS Luke Williams
MLB.com Scouting Report:
Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 45 | Run: 70 | Arm: 60 | Field: 50 | Overall: 45
The Pittsburgh area high school ranks have produced some solid bats over the years, from Neil Walker back in 2003 to Alex Kirilloff in 2016 and, most recently, Cole Young in 2022. All three of those hitters were first-round picks, and Williams, who plays for Franklin Regional High School just east of the city, doesn’t appear to be joining that trio that high on Draft boards. But after missing the summer showcase circuit with an ankle injury, Williams’ ability to show off his premium athleticism this spring had him popping up in early-round conversations.
While he’s a bit raw all-around, Williams is as twitchy an athlete as there is in this class. He’s not without tools, with elite bat speed and some definite raw power that he’s still learning how to tap into from the right side of the plate, though it remains to be seen if he can handle premium pitching. Some scouts put the maximum 80 grade on his speed, and it was completely back this spring with no ill effects from the injury. He runs with reckless abandon, with singles and walks quickly turning into triples.
It remains to be seen if Williams can slow the game down enough to play shortstop long-term. He has more than enough arm, showing the ability to crank throws in the 90s across the diamond, and his speed and athleticism help him cover a lot of ground. He plays with his hair on fire at all times, largely a good thing, but he’ll need to show he can stay within himself. He gets high marks for his passion for the game, gaining kudos from the scouting industry for showing up to DH at fall events even though he wasn’t at full strength just because the Vanderbilt commit wanted to compete.
Range: Rounds 2-10.
Advertisement
Perfect Game Top 500 Ranking: 109.
Prediction: The speedy SS from the land of Yinzers is a recent flip from a commitment to the University of Virginia. He’s an uber-athlete who could turn into something special with three years development and polish under Tim Corbin. With Mancini graduating, we need a leadoff hitter, and Williams fits the prototype. Again, some of these uber-athletic shortstops are going to make it to campus… we just don’t know who yet. He’s a coin flip.
Chance He Signs With an MLB Team: 50%.
LHP Bo Holloway
MLB.com Scouting Report:
Scouting grades: Fastball: 65 | Slider: 45 | Changeup: 55 | Control: 50 | Overall: 50
Holloway has revamped his mechanics after transferring from Nolensville (Tenn.) HS to Nashville’s Christ Presbyterian Academy, where he won a state Division II 2-A championship under the tutelage of pitching coach and former Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey. He’s generating one of the best fastballs and some of the most effortless velocity in this Draft, though his lack of feel for a breaking ball is a concern. His stuff backed up briefly when he was hit in the head by an errant throw during practice in early April, but he was back to touching the upper 90s by the end of the month.
After working with a 92-96 mph fastball that lacked life last summer, Holloway now owns a 94-98 mph heater that has peaked at 100 with improved command and tumbling action. He’s still not displaying much aptitude for spin, flashing some decent mid-80s sliders but most often working with a below-average breaker. He has much more trust in a slightly harder changeup with depth.
The 6-foot-5 Holloway has tightened up his delivery and is doing a better job of keeping his long limbs in sync and providing consistent strikes. Lowering his arm slot has helped the Vanderbilt commit improve the shape of his fastball and his ability to harness it. He’s one of the more intriguing left-handers available, though he comes with significant reliever risk and plenty of divergent opinions on where he belongs in the Draft.
Range: Rounds 2-4.
Advertisement
Perfect Game Top 500 Ranking: 73.
Prediction: Holloway is another commit I could see coming to campus, provided teams see him more as a future reliever than a future starter. He’s the type of projectable big lefty that Scott Brown gets to campus, but that same upside could cause him to shoot up draft boards in a draft light on star power like this one.
Chance He Signs With an MLB Team: 50%.
3B/SS Gunner “Helter” Skelton
MLB.com Scouting Report:
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 50 | Run: 40 | Arm: 55 | Field: 45 | Overall: 45
Skelton impressed last summer at showcase events, performing well at East Coast Pro and the Area Code Games. He has begun to tap into more power in 2026, producing more homers (seven) than strikeouts (six) as a Tennessee high school senior before becoming one of the few prepsters to venture into the Appalachian League, a college summer circuit. He homered five times in his first seven games with wood bats against older competition before hammering balls in batting practice during the MLB Draft Combine.
Though he employs a big leg kick at the plate, Skelton manages to stay on time and make a lot of hard contact with a relatively compact stroke. A right-handed hitter, he generates most of his present power to his pull side. He’ll need to do a better job of recognizing breaking balls and toning down his aggressive approach at the next level, whether that’s at Vanderbilt or in pro ball.
Skelton has played shortstop in high school and the Appy League, but his below-average speed will dictate a move to another position. The best-case scenario is third base, though some scouts wonder if he’ll wind up in left field. He has the solid arm strength for the hot corner and has been clocked up to 90 mph on the mound.
Range: Rounds 3-10.
Advertisement
Perfect Game Top 500 Ranking: 220.
Prediction: Helter Skelton was 100% going to be a Dore until we chose to send him to the Appy league this summer and he completely tore it up. Now? Shit, it wouldn’t shock me if he’s taken super early and signs. It would piss me the hell off, but it wouldn’t shock me. On the other hand, a .386/.434/.700 monster slash with the Johnson City Doughboys might just push his asking price so high, he comes to Vanderbilt and immediately becomes a Brody Johnston-esque force in the middle of the lineup. Does the fact that I’ve already given him the perfect Diamond Dore nickname push him our way? I’mma go with yes.
Chance He Signs With an MLB Team: 33.333%.
SS Keon Johnson
MLB.com Scouting Report:
Scouting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 45 | Run: 40 | Arm: 55 | Field: 50 | Overall: 45
Johnson has been a famous prospect for years and won Gatorade’s Georgia high school player of the year award as a junior last spring, but he presents a conundrum for scouts. They like the player more than his tools and his profile, and he regressed on the showcase circuit last summer after standing out there in 2024. He homered in the title game to lead First Presbyterian (Macon) to the Georgia Independent Athletic Association 4-A state championship in May.
Johnson takes better at-bats and makes contact more easily than most high school players. His right-handed swing can get too rotational at times, and he didn’t do much damage against quality pitching during the summer, still putting the ball in play but producing too many rolled-over grounders. He does feature plenty of bat speed and strength, and his biggest proponents hope he can make adjustments and turn into a solid hitter with average power.
As he has matured physically, Johnson has slowed down and now has below-average speed at best. The Vanderbilt commit nevertheless has a chance to remain at shortstop, where his fluid actions and advanced instincts translate into surprising range. He has quick hands and solid arm strength, which would allow him to make an easy transition to third base if needed.
Range: Rounds 3-10.
Advertisement
Perfect Game Top 500 Ranking: 102.
Prediction: Keon Johnson is more of a contact hitting prospect than a power hitter at the moment, but has the frame to develop some future power. At least one of these SS commits will make it to campus, and while I’m higher on Helter Skelton and James Tronstein, Keon Johnson can absolutely be someone who balls out in the SEC. His speed regression likely spooks teams from tabbing him this year, as he doesn’t currently have the power to be a corner IF/OF bat. I’d say he’s coming to campus, more likely than not.

Chance He Signs With an MLB Team: 33.333%.
CF Noah Wilson
MLB.com Scouting Report:
Scouting grades: Hit: 45 | Power: 55 | Run: 70 | Arm: 40 | Field: 55 | Overall: 45
Few players in the high school class offer a better power/speed combination or spark more debate about their hitting ability than Wilson. He generates high exit velocities and can get from the left side of the plate to first base in less than four seconds. He could go in the second or third round to a club that believes in his bat.
Wilson had difficulty making contact on the showcase circuit, especially against non-fastballs, and some scouts think his high back elbow and uphill left-handed stroke will limit him as a hitter. Other evaluators think he has the hand-eye coordination, patience and rhythm to develop at least average bat-to-ball skills once he tones down his setup. No one questions his bat speed or strength, which combine to give him plus raw pop that plays from gap to gap.
Wilson owns plus-plus speed but is still learning to get the most out of it. He’s raw as a basestealer and stands out more with his quickness than his instincts in center field. He can improve his below-average arm strength if he learns to incorporate his lower half better on his throws. He’ll turn 19 a month before the Draft, which will bother age-minded clubs, and will be a sophomore-eligible in 2028 if he makes it to Vanderbilt.
Range: Rounds 3-10.
Perfect Game Top 500 Ranking: 64.
Prediction: Noah Wilson is someone we absolutely need to get to campus, as 1) We need a new CF, 2) He’s a power/speed demon who could contribute immediately, and 3) We can absolutely sell him on developing him into an Enrique Shockwave with power. That’s a future first rounder, or even top of the first round type. Because he’ll be sophomore draft eligible, I think Wilson can pretty much demand first round money and not really worry his financial future if he doesn’t get it. This is a class that already required us to put together a massive hoard of NIL promise money, so it would be malpractice not to bring Wilson to campus (you know, unless a Sal Stewart situation happens and he gets offered first round money already).

Vanderbilt Commits Who Might Be Selected on Day Two (Rounds 5-20):
RHP Eli Herst
MLB.com Scouting Report:
Scouting grades: Fastball: 50 | Slider: 50 | Changeup: 50 | Control: 50 | Overall: 40
The high school scene in the Pacific Northwest has produced three first rounders over the previous five Drafts, with lefty Kruz Schoolcraft the most recent a year ago. Herst is the best prep arm in the region for the 2026 Draft, and while he was never held in the same regard as Schoolcraft, Noble Meyer or Mick Abel, there was hope he would springboard from summer showcase events to early-round consideration, but a jump in stuff didn’t happen during his senior season of high school.
At 6-foot-5, Herst is all about projection as a future starting pitcher. While many scouts were looking forward to a velocity bump this spring, his fastball remained sitting around 91 mph. There’s good data under the hood on the pitch, thanks to good extension. His mid-70s slider can feature good depth at times and there’s good contrast to his low-80s changeup.
Herst is an excellent strike-thrower with an easy arm action and an advanced and repeatable delivery, with solid deception thanks to his ability to tunnel his pitches. He’s a solid athlete who also plays third base when he’s not pitching. Teams may dream on more stuff to come, but the fact that it didn’t at all this spring caused many to back off, which means he could very well be headed to Vanderbilt, where he could emerge as a top-round talent in a few years.
Range: Rounds 7-20.
Perfect Game Top 500 Ranking: 265.
Prediction: Herst has the type of control to push for a starting role (Sunday or Midweek starter) as a freshman, and with his velo currently in the low-90s, he’s likely coming to campus. He is a huge righty with a projectable frame, so I’d bet he’s closer to the 95 mph range by the end of his time at Vanderbilt

Prediction: Kaleb “Tractor” Traylor is a big boy from The Bronx who is likely to make it to campus. Heck, Perfect Game only has him at a 9.5 (generally speaking, pretty much every prospect who starts at Vandy is a PG 10 coming in). Still, Kylie McDaniel has him on his top 250, so at least one scout must have told him something. Here’s to hoping Traylor joins the long list of Northeastern ballers who has proven to be an under the radar stud in gangster pajamas.
