In a recent event in Phoenix, Arizona, Yahoo Sports senior MLB analyst Jordan Shusterman discussed the standout players. He highlighted West Virginia shortstop JJ Weatherholt, who has the potential to be the number one overall pick in the upcoming draft. Despite facing some injuries during the season, Weatherholt finished strong and impressed scouts and analysts at the event. Shusterman believes that any team in the top 10 that selects Weatherholt will be thrilled with their choice.
Shusterman also mentioned Jared Jones, a first baseman from LSU, who showed incredible power during batting practice at the event. While Jones is known for his raw power, his performance in batting practice highlighted his hitting ability as well. Shusterman believes that Jones, despite not receiving as much attention as other players, may surprise many on draft day with his skills and potential. Jones impressed with his long home runs and high exit velocities during the event, solidifying his status as a top prospect.
