Ryne Barker showed off the tools at the MLB Draft Combine BP. A compact stroke to all fields, and a projectable frame with 20-30 pounds still to come. Double-plus speed. No. 64 on the Just Baseball Top 250. Upside is massive with the Texas Tech Baseball commit. 🎥: Conor Dorney

One of my favorite catchers in this year’s Draft is Ryan Stafford (Cal Poly Baseball). Excellent track record on both sides of the baseball. After a Freshman All-American season in ‘22, Stafford last spring hit .313/.393/.500 with 20 2B, 7 HR, and 44 RBI. Also hit .312 in 22 games on the Cape and .345 with Team USA. Relaxed setup in the box, stands almost completely upright with a slightly open front side. Small stride with minimal movement. Very level, line drive-oriented stroke. Excellent job of keeping the barrel in the hitting zone. All fields approach with advanced barrel awareness and plus bat-to-ball skills (90% IZ contact rate). Would put a 60 on the hit tool. Really stands out defensively. Across two seasons at Cal Poly, Stafford has thrown out 22-of-50 (44%) of potential base stealers and allowed just 5 passed balls. Good athlete, moves really well laterally and does an outstanding job of corralling balls in the dirt. Strong, accurate throwing arm to all bases. Plus defender overall. Extremely levelheaded, slow heartbeat type of player. Top-100 overall upside this July.

Very excited to watch OF Carson Benge (OSU Cowboy Baseball) this spring. Enjoyed an excellent first full season in 2023, hitting .345 with 17 2B, 7 HR, 43 RBI, and more BB (42) than K (32). Hit .345 with 4 RBI in a 9-game stint on the Cape. Wiry and athletic frame at 6'1", 184-pounds. Serious violence in his swing that is geared towards doing damage and getting the ball in the air. Plenty of hand speed, does a nice job consistently generating back spin. Impressive ability driving the baseball to all fields. Sound approach, above average bat-to-ball skills. Big barrel tip, but consistently on time and gets in a good position to hit. Absolutely pulverizes heaters - .529/.691/.824 slash line against FB 91+. Good athlete with a plus arm in RF that will allow him to stick at the position. Also has some experience on the mound where he showed feel to spin and a FB up to 96. Plays the game extremely hard and at one speed. It is abundantly clear that he loves to play! Potential top-2 round selection this July.

INF Kodey Shojinaga (Kansas Baseball) is an intriguing Sophomore-eligible prospect. Was outstanding as a true Freshman and hit .378/.421/.526 with 11 2B, 6 HR, and 32 RBIs. Also slashed .326/.396/.349 across 11 games on the Cape. Shojinaga was named Co-Freshman of the Year in the Big 12 and earned a Team USA invitation. Medium build at 5'10", 190-lbs with some physicality in the lower-half. Slightly open front side in the box with a normal handset. Holds bat horizontally over his back shoulder with the barrel pointed slightly back. Medium-high leg kick, but the stride itself is small. Little bit of a bat wrap, but he's consistently on time. Average bat speed. Hit over power profile right now, but Shojinaga has an advanced feel for the barrel and plus bat-to-ball skills. Last season, he sported a 93% overall IZ contact rate. Approach is sound, but sometimes chases down/away. Does a nice job of using the whole field and working inside the baseball. Would put a 55 on the pure hit tool. Sound defender at 2B with above average arm strength and makes the plays he needs to make. He has quick hands and some range in either direction. Shojinaga also has experience catching, and got some reps behind the plate this summer for Team USA. Will be interesting to see what it would look like if he focused on catching - actions need refining, but the arm strength is there. Shojinaga will need to really hit, and he's capable of doing so. This July, he profiles as a 5th-8th round pick.

2B Henry Godbout (Virginia Baseball) is a college bat to keep a close eye on this season. Following a solid Freshman season—and an impressive showing in the Northwoods League—Godbout exploded last year to the tune of a .372/.472/.645 slash line with 18 2B, 9 HR, 47 RBIs and more BB (29) than Ks (20). Across a brief 9-game stint on the Cape, Godbout went 11-for-36 (.306) with 3 2B, 1 HR, and 9 RBIs. Athletic build at 6'2" and 190-lbs with some length in the lower-half and budding physicality. Fairly upright stance in the box with an open front side. High handset, hands start pretty far back. Minimal load, leg lift leads into a normal stride. Generates effortless plus bat speed, head stays quiet and level throughout his operation. Consistent quick and tight turns with his hips. Does a great job of working inside the baseball. Just a real hitterish look. Godbout's calling card is his hit tool. Pull-oriented approach, but will occasionally work to the opposite field. Hand eye coordination is outstanding. Highly advanced feel for the barrel that he pairs with plus (closer to a 70 than a 60) bat-to-ball skills and a polished approach. Ran a 92% overall IZ contact rate last spring, including 95% against FB, 91% against SL and 90% against CB. Feasts on heaters - contact rate against all FB was 95%. No issues with velo, either. Hit .556 against all FB 93+. Would stick a 60 on his hit tool. Godbout has some impact to the pull side, which is where all of his HR power (at least right now) comes from. Last year's Max EV of 106.4 doesn't necessarily jump off the page, but there's potentially more impact on the way and you're buying the hit tool. Raw power right now is a tick below average (avg. to pull side). Godbout is a strong defender at 2B, where he is a safe bet to stick professionally. Range in either direction (especially up the middle), soft hands, average arm, and a good clock. Makes all the plays he should. First-round upside this July. (🎥: Virginia Baseball)

C Cole Messina (@GamecockBasebll) is going to be a fun follow this spring. After playing sparingly as a true Freshman in 2022, Messina had a strong summer in the Northwoods League and hit .294/.410/.483 with 10 2B, 5 HR, and 40 RBIs. Proceeded to have a stellar Sophomore campaign, hitting .307/.428/.615 with 18 2B, 17 HR, and 65 RBIs in 62 games. Was a First Team All-SEC selection and a Third Team All-American. Thick, ultra-physical build at 6' and 230-lbs. Stands nearly upright in the box with a slightly open front side. Somewhat high handset, starts with the head of his bat pointed almost straight down behind his back shoulder. Small stride, gets his swing going with a bit of a barrel tip and without much of a load. Bat speed is plus. Messina has a pull-oriented approach and an above average feel for the barrel. Bat-to-ball skills are advanced, and in '23 he sported an overall IZ contact rate of 90% (90% against FB, 92% against SL). Sound pitch recognition skills and doesn't really expand the zone. Would put a 55 on the hit tool. His natural strength and physicality allows him to generate high-quality impact on a regular basis. Max EV in '23 was 108. Overall raw power is a 55, but a 60 to the pull side. There are some defensive question marks, but Messina is a sneaky athlete behind the dish. Moves well laterally. However, his overall catching skillset will need to become more polished. Even with the murkiness surrounding his eventual defensive home, Messina's bat will likely be enough to warrant a 3rd-5th round selection this July. (📽️: @GamecockBasebll)

SS Dean Curley (Tennessee Baseball) is one of the top Sophomore-eligible prospects in this year's Draft. Earned the starting shortstop job as a Freshman and hit .285/.386/.502 with 10 2B, 12 HR, and 50 RBIs. After winning the National Title, Curley also enjoyed a productive stint with Team USA. Curley has a big league body at 6'3" and 212-lbs with length in his lower-half and strength and physicality throughout. Slightly crouched setup in the box with a medium-high handset. Small stride with a minimal load in which he deploys a slight barrel tip. Curley has big time hand speed and an engaged lower-1/2 - fan of the scissor action with his back leg. It's an under control operation/easy operation with minimal moving parts, and one in which he takes a short and direct path to contact. Head stays level. There's a really appealing compact explosiveness to it. Curley has a knack for finding the barrel to go along with plus bat-to-ball skills. Sported an overall IZ contact rate of 90% last season, including 93% against FB. Difficult to beat with the heater and handles velocity well. Hit .304/.515/.348 against 94+, including .500/.611/.571 against 95+ (albeit a smaller sample size). While there's some swing and miss against spin, Curley has a sound approach and his swing decisions are polished. Pitch recognition skills took a step forward with Team USA, curious to see if that carries over into the spring. Comfortable giving the hit tool a 50 right now, though it's closer to a 55. On top of his hitability, Curley has above-average raw power (plus to the pull side). His highest quality of contact—and the vast majority of his HR power—is to the PS, but he has the strength to drive the baseball to all fields. Routinely impacts the baseball and is able to do so with relative ease. On top of his 90th-percentile EV of 107, Curley posted a Max EV of 110.8. Very enticing hit-power blend. Curley is a slam dunk to stick on the left side of the infield, it's just a matter of where. Started every day at SS last spring and is slated to do so again in 2025. He has an advanced baseball sense with a comfortably plus arm and some range to the arm side. There is a chance he eventually moves to 3B in pro ball where the arm and actions will both translate well. There's a lot to like with Curley from a tools standpoint on both sides of the baseball. He can impact the game in a myriad of ways and is on track to be a top-50 overall selection this July. (📽️: Tennessee Baseball)

Transfer News: Augusta (D-II) SS Kyle Lodise has entered the transfer portal. Was the Peach Belt Conference Freshman of the Year in 2023, and this season he had a career year to the tune of a .369/.498/.693 slash line with 27 XBH (14 HRs), 49 RBIs, 24 SB, and 43 BB to 27 Ks. Athletic build at 6' and 180-pounds. Simple setup in the box - stands tall with a slight bend in his knees and a medium-high handset. Normal stride, hands drift a little bit in his load. Lodise's explosive athleticism is on display both in the box and on the dirt. Compact operation with plus bat speed, consistently gets of quick/tight turns with his hips. Sound approach with advanced barrel skills. Has shown this year the ability to back spin the baseball to all fields, but especially to the pull side where he generates the highest quality of contact. Quick feet with good instincts/ever-improving game clock at shortstop. Plenty of range in either direction, has shown he is comfortable attacking the baseball and throwing on the run/from different arm angles. Would give the arm a 55. Lodise is the first really intriguing name to hit the portal and it will be interesting to see where he eventually lands.

OF Jaden Gustafson (Wichita State Baseball) is an under the radar name to keep tabs on this spring. Hit .296/.367/.403 last spring with 15 XBH and followed with an outstanding summer in the Jayhawk League in which he posted a .391/.439/.626 slash line with 11 2B, 2 3B, 4 HR, 32 RBIs and 12 BB to just 2 Ks across 115 at-bats. Athletic frame at 6'3" and 215-lbs with particular strength in his lower-half. Stands upright in the box with a high handset and slightly open front side. Will drop/drift his hands a bit in his load, but Gustafson has plenty of hand speed. Small-strider. Compact operation in which he takes a relatively direct path to contact. Has shown the ability to adjust. Gustafson has double-plus bat-to-ball skills, and last season he posted an 87% overall contact rate and a 93% overall IZ contact rate (94% against FB). He also possesses advanced pitch recognition skills and swing decisions, and last year his overall chase rate was 24%. Very few swings outside of the shadow zone. Gustafson uses the entire field, but has a particular knack for going the opposite way. Barrel skills are also advanced. The most intriguing part about Gustafson in my eyes is his potential power upside. That might sound a little strange considering he has 0 collegiate HRs, but he's a strong kid with some present impact (90th EV of 103, Max of 104.3) and whose AirPull% last spring was a minuscule 7.7%. The bat and hand speed is there, and I'll be curious to see what will happen if he can get the ball up in the air more. Even if he can just start pulling the ball more. Gustafson is a great athlete who profiles best in a corner OF spot. Can go and get it, and he's got North-to-South range as well gap-to-gap range. Arm is fringy, but the athleticism certainly plays. Runs well underway. Could play his way into the 7th-10th round range. (📽️: Wichita State Baseball)

OF Ethan Conrad (Wake Forest Baseball) has seen his Draft stock rise considerably over the last calendar year. Following a productive Freshman season and summer, Conrad had an outstanding Sophomore year to the tune of a .389/.467/.704 slash line with 18 2B, a nation-leading 13 3B, 9 HR, 52 RBIs and 17 SB. His hot hitting didn't stop there, though, as on the Cape this summer he was both an All-Star (ASG MVP) and All-League selection after hitting .385/.433/.486 with 5 2B, 2 HR, 19 RBIs, and 19 SB. Conrad has an athletic, big league frame at 6'3" and 200-lbs. Simple setup in the box in which he stands fairly upright—albeit slightly hunched over—with a medium-high handset and holds the bat flat over his back shoulder. Minimal load, leg lift leads into a small stride. Conrad takes a direct path to contact and his barrel accelerates through the zone. Hand speed is above-average. It's a very compact, repeatable and under control operation. He has plus bat-to-ball skills and is consistently on the barrel. Last spring he ran an overall IZ contact rate of 91%, including 90% against FB and 94% against both SL and CH. This summer was a similar story, as his overall IZ contact rate was also 91% (93% against FB/CH, 91% against SL). Conrad can get trigger happy with FB in the top and/or outer-1/3 and has the tendency to chase secondaries down, though it hasn't hindered his production to this point. Tightening up his swing decisions a bit will help. Would give his hit tool a 55. Conrad has shown the ability to spray line drives to all parts of the field and is capable of driving the baseball into either gap. While he uses the whole field, his highest quality of contact comes to the pull side—which is also where all of his HR power to this point has come. There's present impact, however, and this spring he posted a Max EV of 109.4 and this summer his Max EV was 105.4. If he's able to get the ball up in the air more, increased HR numbers should follow suit. Power is a 50 right now. Corner OF profile defensively where his speed and athleticism translate well. Good instincts, can go and get balls in the gap or down the line. Arm is average. Alluded to it, but Conrad is also a plus runner who has a knack for taking an extra base on a ball in the gap or down the line. Most importantly, he knows how to run which helps his speed play up on the bases where he's an effective base stealer and chaos-causer. There's a lot to like tools-wise with Conrad and he figures to be the centerpiece of Wake Forest's lineup in 2025. Definite day 1 type this July, top-40 overall upside. (📽️: Marist Baseball)

Anthony Silva (TCU Baseball) is perhaps the best true Shortstop in the entire 2024 Draft Class. Silva exploded onto the scene in 2023 as a Freshman, sporting an impressive .330/.416/.471 slash line with 11 2B, 7 HR, and 50 RBI. Was TCU's every day SS from the get-go. Named a First Team Freshman All-American and earned an invitation to Team USA's Collegiate National Team. Pro-like frame at 6'2", 200-pounds. Figures to add some impact as he continues to mature physically. Stands nearly upright in the box with a relaxed, medium-high handset. Normal load and stride, it's a smooth and rhythmic operation with a direct path to contact. Bat-to-ball skills are plus with an 88% IZ contact rate, including 89% against FB. Improving pitch recognition skills, mainly in terms of picking up spin, will be key! Feasts on heaters: in 2023 slashed .360/.418/.460 against FB 92+. Silva's calling card is his defense. Legitimate plus defender at SS with excellent actions and instincts. Athleticism really shines. Ample range both up the middle and to the backhand side. Comfortable throwing on the run and from multiple arm slots. Arm is above average. Slow heartbeat type player, knack for making the big play in a key moment. With a standout sophomore campaign, Silva has a chance to be a top-20 overall pick.

The Dodgers might have another stud in Bo Lowrance 👀 Lowrance has a tall, 6-foot-5, 200-pound frame that has a ton of space to continue filling out in the future, and he has already started to show impressive strength gains.
