"textContent": "## Atlantic Coast\n\n _Covered by: Will Dodge_\n\n### Jarren Advincula, 2B Georgia Tech (Atlantic Coast)\n\n3-for-4, 3B, 2 2B, 2 R, 5 RBI, BB\n\n### 💣💣 Will Baker, DH Georgia Tech (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 1: 3-for-5, 2 HR, 3 R, 3 RBI\n\n### ‼️ Tate McKee, RHP Georgia Tech (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 1: 4 IP, 3 H, BB, 4 K\n\n### ‼️ Porter Buursema, RHP Georgia Tech (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 2: 4 IP, 2 H, BB, 4 K\n\nWith the early start to the series, Cal gave the ball to freshman right-hander Otto Espinoza, and while he’s had a good start to his career, Espinoza did not have it. He walked 2 & allowed 4 hits, only getting 1 out, and had no help from his teammates in the field, as they committed 2 errors, all leading to a 9-run first inning by Georgia Tech, which put the game in hand from the get-go. Cal would go on to allow 10 walks & 8 extra-base hits, as Georgia Tech ran away with this one 17-2, in 7 innings on Thursday. For the Jackets, it was old friend Jarren Advincula who broke the game open with 2 doubles and a triple in the first 3 innings, knocking in 5 runners. With the game in hand, Will Baker turned Berkeley into a power show with two homers, the second of which cleared the RF second wall onto the Tennis Court. Tanner McKee had a 9-0 lead when he took the mound, but was economical, only allowing 3 hits and a walk in 4 scoreless innings of work. On Friday, the result did not change much. Georgia Tech got out to an early 7-0 lead by the 3rd inning over Cal’s Friday man, Oliver de la Torre, and did so with more individual muscle than Thursday’s team affair. Alex Hernandez, Kent Schmidt, and Ryan Zuckerman all went yard, as Drew Burress and Jarren Advincula mixed in doubles for themselves. All three homers left the bat in a hurry, hit at over 100 mph. Porter Buursema got another start for GT after being slotted into the rotation last weekend. This one went a lot better than last week as Buursema went 4 IP with no earned runs and 6 K’s. Arguably, the best development for him was only 1 walk. If GT can have him as a weapon, they’ll become a dangerous club going forward with their already explosive lineup.\n\n### ‼️ Ethan Eberle, LHP Louisville (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 1: 5.2 IP, 7 H, 5 ER, BB, 15 K\n\n### 🍔🍟 Bayram Hot, 3B Louisville (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 2: 3-for-5, HR, 3 R, 2 RBI, SB\n\n### 🍔🍟 Kade Elam, 2B Louisville (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 2: 3-for-5, HR, 2 R, 4 RBI, SB\n\n### Jake Lambdin, SS Duke (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 1: 2-for-4, HR, 3 R, RBI\n\n### 💣💣 Kaden Smith, DH Duke (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 2: 4-for-5, 2 HR, 4 R, 6 RBI\n\nWith a solo homer and coming around to score three times on Thursday, Duke SS Jake Lambdin helped lead Duke to a 6-3 win over Louisville. The transfer from Xavier is having a power breakout this season, with 7 HR’s. Mixing in the 17 steals, the Junior has become one of the better power/speed threats in the ACC. In a stat that made me double-take, Louisville SP Ethan Eberle had 15 strikeouts in 5.2 IP, while still allowing 5 earned runs. Eberle has been an early-season addition to the rotation after the Cards' pitching staff struggled out of the gate, but he has shown great peripherals with a 27 K% and sub-10 BB%. He’ll be a draft-eligible So. Game 2 of this series was a shootout, with the Blue Devils coming back to win in the 8th, 10-8. Kaden Smith has been on an absolute heater for Duke and carried them on Friday. He hit two home runs and mixed in a 2-run single, giving Duke the lead at 3 different points in the game. His second HR came when the Blue Devils were down 1 in the Eighth, and was a 3-run blast that traveled 417’. Louisville bats had a day for themselves as well, with Bayram Hot & Kade Elam both having 3-hit days with a homer and a steal. Hot’s homer was an oppo-shot that left the bat at 100 mph, his 6th of the season. Meanwhile, Elam’s HR is only his 3rd on the season, but traveled 419’.\n\n### ‼️ A.J. Colarusso, LHP Boston College (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 1: 6 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 7 K\n\n### Cesar Gonzalez, RHP Boston College (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 1: 3 IP, 4 H, 5 K\n\n### Jake Schaffner, SS North Carolina (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 2: 2-for-4, 3B, 2B, R, 2 RBI\n\n### Caden Glauber, RHP North Carolina (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 2: 5.1 IP, 2 H, ER, 4 BB, 5 K\n\nThe Boston College Eagles keep on rolling with a win in game 1 of their series versus North Carolina, and it was the Tar Heel Killer at it again. AJ Colarusso had a gutsy performance at the ACC tournament last year, including leading the Eags over UNC on just two days' rest. He was up to his usual stuff with 6 innings allowing no earned runs. He struck 7 UNC hitters out and has been a total workhorse for BC, with three straight quality starts, with the last two coming against top 10 teams. The Most Interesting Man in College Baseball kept up with his awesome season, closing the game with 3 scoreless innings. While at the plate, Gonzalez is slashing just .206/.222/.324, but as the Eagles’ Friday fireman, he has been incredible. With 19.2 IP on just 8 appearances this season, he has a 20.5 K-BB%, with just a 1.83 ERA. Game 2 went to the Heels, with their collective arms only allowing 3 BC hits. Freshman standout righty Caden Glauber was pressed into action after the UNC starter Jason DeCaro was pulled in the 3rd with command issues, and Glauber was fantastic again with 5.1 IP in relief, only allowing 1 run. He’s pitched 36 IP this season and has a K% above 30, and should certainly grab a spot in the UNC rotation in the coming years. SS Jake Schaffner led the North Carolina scoring with a double and triple, knocking in 2 runs. The junior transfer from NDSU has been a serviceable top of the order bat, lowering his K% on the season, and holding the same AVG compared to last year, even as he made the jump from the Big Sky to the ACC.\n\n### Rett Johnson, LF North Carolina State (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 1: 3-for-4, 2 2B, R, BB\n\n### Luke Nixon, 2B North Carolina State (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 1: 1-for-3, HR, R, 3 RBI, 2 BB\n\n### Mikey Ryan, SS North Carolina State (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 2: 3-for-4, 2 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI, SB\n\n### 🍔🍟 Ty Head, CF North Carolina State (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 2: 1-for-3, HR, R, RBI, BB, SB\n\nThe NC State Wolfpack have gotten back on track, taking the first two games of their series over a good Notre Dame squad. A late-inning explosion pushed them on top 7-3 on Thursday, and they repeated that result on Friday. On Thursday, it was the 1-2 hitters in the Wolfpack order that did the damage, with Rett Johnson collecting 3 hits, including 2 doubles and a walk, while Luke Nixon blew the game open with a 3-run homer in the 2nd. Johnson has been a bright spot for NCST as a freshman, OPS’ing above 1.000 with over triple the walks compared to K’s. On Friday, the Wolfpack outlasted the Day 1 Draft arm Jack Radel from ND. The game was tight until the 7th when they pushed him out, and scored 5 runs to win with a sizeable lead. Ty Head homered off Radel in the 2nd, and later walked and stole a base. That is the perfect explanation of Head’s skills with him up to 9 HRs and 18 SBs on the season. Mikey Ryan got in on the fun with an almost identical line to Rett Johnson with 3 hits & 2 doubles. The sophomore transfer from LSU is getting his first run of full playing time and is hoping that Friday will be the start of a breakout.\n\n### ‼️ 🔜 Kyle Johnson, LHP Virginia (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 1: 4 IP, H, BB, 7 K\n\n### Antonio Perrotta, DH Virginia (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 1: 2-for-4, HR, R, 2 RBI\n\n### Hunter Carns, C Florida State (Atlantic Coast)\n\nGame 2: 3-for-5, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI\n\nThe Virginia Cavs took game 1 in their massive series versus Florida State, and it was the late injury addition Kyle Johnson that led the way off the mound, winning 4-3. Johnson went only 4 IPs as he is still on a pitch count, but allowed only a hit and a walk while striking out 7. A player who had sleeper draft hype with some projection entering the season is now breaking out with excellent stuff. In his 7 IP back in action, he has 9 strikeouts, only allowing 4 hits and a walk, while getting up to 97 with his fastball from the left side. Johnson did not step to the plate on Thursday, but he also has TWP abilities already up to 4 HRs on the season. The Cavs that did step to the plate had to deal with the electric lefty Wes Mendes, but Virginia got the job done, scoring 4 runs off him in 5 innings. Antonio Perrotta slightly broke the game open as he capped off a 4-run 5th inning with a 2-run shot. His homer was a pulled moonshot that had a 39-degree launch; it was his 2nd on the season. Florida State evened up the series with a 5-2 win on Friday. It was the backstop Hunter Carns led the charge for the Noles with 3 hits and a home run. The homer was to straightaway CF and the first for him on the season. For a lineup that’s looking to replace the massive presence of Myles Bailey, Carns chose an excellent time to show the Slug that he flashed last season as a Freshman.\n\n* * *\n\n## Big 12\n\n _Covered by: Drew Wheeler_\n\n### Ridge Erickson, C BYU (Big 12)\n\n2-for-4, HR, 3B, R, 4 RBI, K\n\n### Tu’alau Wolfgramm, CF BYU (Big 12)\n\n2-for-4, HR, 3B, R, 4 RBI, K\n\nBYU catcher Ridge Erickson had an incredible weekend, starting on Thursday with a pair of extra-base hits: in the third inning, he knocked a 411-foot solo-shot homer, then in the fifth inning, Erickson doubled down the left field line to plate Matt Hansen and put BYU up 7-2. On Friday, Erickson knocked another solo shot, a 354-foot blast down the left field line and followed it in the eighth inning with a double down the opposite line to plate Easton Jones. Meanwhile, centerfielder Tu’alau Wolfgramm, whose name is a shoo-in for the all-name team of 2026, had an insanely productive day at the plate: in the first inning, Wolfgramm knocked a two-run triple to left field, plating two runs and lifting BYU up 3-0. Wolfgramm homered in the seventh inning, a solo shot 368-feet down the left-field line, then in the eighth, flew out to center to plate Ryder Robinson for another RBI on the day.\n\n### Travis Sanders, SS Baylor (Big 12)\n\n3-for-5, 3B, 2B, 3 R, RBI, BB, 2 K, SB\n\n### 🍔🍟 Brady Janusek, RF Baylor (Big 12)\n\n4-for-6, HR, 2B, R, 5 RBI, SB\n\n### Brytton Clements, 2B Baylor (Big 12)\n\n2-for-4, 2B, 3 R, RBI, BB, 2 K, SB\n\n### 🍔🍟 Tyce Armstrong, 1B Baylor (Big 12)\n\nGame 1: 1-for-4, HR, R, 2 RBI, 2 BB, K\n\nGame 2: 2-for-4, HR, 2 R, RBI, BB, SB\n\nBaylor won one of two games to tie the series at one-all and did so in convincing fashion on Thursday. First baseman Tyce Armstrong ripped a 439-foot two-run homer to left center in the first inning, plating himself and Travis Sanders in his eleventh big fly of the season. In the third frame, Brady Janusek followed suit, knocking a 410-foot homer to center, bringing himself and Sanders around the bags, too; in the fourth, Janusek doubled to left center, plating another two runs amidst a four-hit day and putting Baylor up 7-1. In the sixth, Brytton Clements singled through the right side to drive in another run and put Baylor up 9-3. On Friday, Armstrong hammered another 440-foot homer to cap off an eight-pitch at-bat, nearly reaching 880 feet of homers in two days; he’s got legit raw power. The Bears can really smack it, but they’ve been slightly inconsistent this season; hopefully they will put it all together heading into the second half of the campaign.\n\n### 💣💣 Colin Brueggemann, 1B Oklahoma State (Big 12)\n\n2-for-4, 2 HR, 2 R, 6 RBI\n\nCowboys first baseman Colin Brueggemann had a seriously impressive day at the plate Friday, clobbering six RBI across a double dong day. The first of Brueggemann’s homers, a second-inning two-run bop, capped off a nine-pitch at-bat and put OK State up 2-0. In the seventh inning, Brueggemann got back on it, whacking a slambo to right center, clearing the juiced bags and putting the Cowboys up 11-9 over the surging Bearcats. The 6’6” senior is the son of Rockies’ 1996 sixth-round selection Dean Brueggemann, and might see some late-round interest himself if he keeps flashing this sort of power.\n\n### 💣💣 Andrew Williamson, RF Central Florida (Big 12)\n\n3-for-4, 2 HR, 3 R, 2 RBI\n\nOn Friday, Williamson dinged a pair of donks amidst a three-for-four day. The first of Williamson’s solo shots came in the third frame, as he knocked his seventh of the season 409 feet to deep center field off Dawson Montesa. Williamson’s second of the day went 362 feet down the left field line off Ian Korn. I suppose on this day, Williamson was a Freak OFF a Leash, right?! RIGHT?! HAHAHAHA!\n\n### Landon Hairston, LF Arizona State (Big 12)\n\n3-for-5, 3B, 2B, 2 R, RBI\n\n### Nu'u Contrades, 2B Arizona State (Big 12)\n\n2-for-5, 2 2B, 2 RBI, K\n\nAnother day, another Landon Hairston appearance on the College Daily Sheet. Hairston is absolutely unconscious at the plate as of late, and delivered with a day only a home run shy of the cycle; genuinely bizarre considering his propensity for the big fly. Nu’u Contrades also doubled down the line, though his came in the seventh inning, knocking two runs around to put ASU up 6-3. The Sun Devils are one of the best offenses in the country; I said what I said.\n\n### Jordan Bach, RF Kansas (Big 12)\n\nGame 1: 2-for-6, 2 2B, R, RBI, 2 K\n\nGame 2: 2-for-5, 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI, BB, K\n\n### Tyson Leblanc, SS Kansas (Big 12)\n\nGame 1: 4-for-5, HR, 2B, R, 4 RBI, BB\n\nGame 2: 3-for-5, 2 2B, 2 R, RBI, BB\n\n### Max Soliz Jr., DH Kansas (Big 12)\n\nGame 1: 1-for-4, HR, 2 R, RBI, BB, 2 K\n\nGame 2: 2-for-5, HR, 2 R, 3 RBI, BB, 2 K\n\nHoly moly, Jayhawks! Kansas put up a scintillating 28 runs across two games and were led by three incredible performers. Bach’s contribution to the run-scoring bonanza was three doubles: on Thursday, he smacked a double to left center to score Max Soliz Jr. and tie the score at 2-2. On Friday, the Jayhawks’ leadoff man doubled again to right center on the first pitch of a fourth-frame at-bat, driving two runs across the plate. Tyson Leblanc hit .700 to open the series and included four extra-base hits, carrying over his torrid March. On Thursday, Leblanc doubled in the fifth frame to plate a pair of runs; then, in the ninth, walked off the game with his 11th home run of the season to deep right field, scoring himself and Cade Baldridge to put Kansas over the top at 14-12. Leblanc carried it over on Friday, amassing an intentional walk and another three hits – two of which were doubles; his eighth inning pop to left field scored Baldridge to put Kansas up 13-9. Soliz, acting as DH over the weekend, performed as a classic DH should and brought the power to Kansas’ lineup. In the ninth inning on Thursday, he clobbered a 414-foot homer (his second of the year) to bring Kansas a run closer to the Leblanc walkoff. On Friday, Soliz knocked in three runs on three separate hits, the biggest of which came in the fourth inning, singling to left to break a 1-all tie, though I wouldn’t fight you on calling his fifth-inning homer to deep left the biggest of them.\n\n### 💣💣 Jet Gilliam, CF Utah (Big 12)\n\n5-for-5, 2 HR, 4 R, 4 RBI\n\nCenterfielder Jet Gilliam did his best to force the Utes past Kansas on Thursday, but could not muster enough sauce to complete the job; no disrespect to the rest of the Utah lineup, 12 runs is nothing to sneeze at, but Gilliam’s five-for-five result and pair of homers certainly stands out. Gilliam’s first home run came in the second inning, a 395-foot blast to deep left; his second, a 379-foot smack to deep center, came in the seventh inning and plated two runs. After his third and fourth homers of the season, Gilliam singled in the infield in the eighth, scoring two runs on a throwing error and advancing to second base himself. The centerfielder is a junior transfer from NC State who may catch some late-round love this summer, but would need to keep flashing this kind of tools to do so.\n\n### Xavier Perez, RF Houston (Big 12)\n\nGame 1: 1-for-5, HR, R, 3 RBI, K\n\nGame 2: 3-for-5, 2B, 4 R, RBI, BB, K, SB\n\nHouston’s right fielder Xavier Perez shone brightly on the first two days of the series with in-state rival Texas Tech, bringing his talent to play by striking out only twice, walking once, connecting with 50% XBH and stealing a base. Perez is underrated but has been one of the Cougars’ brightest-shining spots in the lineup all year long. His ninth inning on Friday was particularly interesting, as he doubled to right center to cap off a seven-pitch at-bat and bring the game closer (at 8-10). Later, he scored on a balk to tie the game at 10 all. Houston would come around to win the game 13-10 in 11 innings.\n\n### 👟 Tre Broussard, CF Houston (Big 12)\n\nGame 1: 1-for-5, R, 2 SB\n\nGame 2: 4-for-5, 3B, 2B, 4 R, K, SB\n\nWith his mysterious season-opening injury fully behind him, Broussard showed off his tools across Thursday and Friday while Houston claimed the series. Across the two days, Broussard batted .500, scored five runs, amassed three stolen bases, hit a double and triple while only striking out once. The key element to Broussard’s draft stock of course is his sterling defense in centerfield, which was also on display; he’s got a great shot of being a day one selection this summer.\n\n### Caden Ferraro, DH Texas Tech (Big 12)\n\n4-for-4, 2B, 2 R, RBI, BB\n\nAfter an insane week prior, Ferraro kept the heat at ‘11’ on Friday, coming up with four hits (including a double), two runs, an RBI, and a free pass; In the fourth inning, he singled through the right side on a 1-0 pitch to score catcher Matt Quintanar and lift Tech’s score to 4-3. The junior has made quite a splash of late and is certainly increasing his draft stock with each performance; here’s hoping the heater can continue!\n\n### Logan Hughes, LF Texas Tech (Big 12)\n\n4-for-5, R, 2 RBI, K\n\nFour straight outfielders, huh? Hughes’ hit tool was front and center in his performance on Friday, collecting four hits and a run while knocking two in and only striking out once. In the first, Hughes finished a six-pitch AB by scoring Kyeler Thompson; in a seventh-inning at-bat, he singled to center again, bringing Ferraro around and advancing 1B Robin Villeneuve to second. He’s an undoubted pro with tons of talent.\n\n* * *\n\n## Big Ten\n\n _Covered by: Quinn Martin_\n\n### Roman Martin, 3B UCLA (Big Ten)\n\n2-for-3, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, 2 BB\n\nI have no clue where Roman Martin will get drafted in July, will it be towards the front of the second round? Or will it be closer to the 5th? I truly don't know, there are positives and negatives to Martin's game and I find myself on the positive side. His HR last night vs Mason Edwards was torched and showed the above average power potential Martin possesses. The keyword in there, however, is potential. Even with swings like this one, he has hit only 4 HRs this season and has yet to eclipse 10 in one season. You have to be really confident in his development plan to draft him in the top 70 picks. For now though, UCLA has a monster of a lineup and one of the best defensive 3B in the country who will occasionally get on 4 times a game and run into some HRs.\n\n### ‼️ Tony Neubeck, LHP Indiana (Big Ten)\n\n6 IP, 3 H, 8 K\n\nIndiana hasn't been able to find their identity this year and it's shown in their conference and overall records. Though, they have gotten solid contributions out of Neubeck and Denny. Neubeck completely shut down a decent Rutgers lineup with his slight crossfire delivery that lefties and righties alike just can't seem to see well. He commanded the zone incredibly well and has been the most reliable arm on this Hoosier staff. Neubeck's been very impressive this season and continues to improve week over week. On the offensive end, Hogan Denny was a triple away from the cycle and now finds his OPS over a thousand. He was an instant contributor in his freshman year and there was no sophomore slump coming into 2026. I'm excited to see how he finishes the year and what adjustments he makes going into his junior season. He has a slight hitch in his swing that could cause some swing and miss at the top of the zone against premium velo so I'll be looking to see if there's an adjustment made at some point.\n\n### Hogan Denny, OF Indiana (Big Ten)\n\n3-for-4, HR, 2B, 3 R, 2 RBI, BB\n\n### Henry Kaczmar, 2B Ohio State (Big Ten)\n\n3-for-5, 3 2B, R, 2 RBI\n\nKaczmar is back at home after a short stint at South Carolina and is largely the same player he's been throughout his whole career. Not to say this is a bad thing, he's been constantly over .300 with respectable OPS numbers and solid defense. He's still living in that same area, though he's added a bit more XBH thump to his game. His slug is up about 80 points from last year and has been the most consistent bat on a touch and go Ohio St. team. His 3 doubles last night proved that and while this is his first Daily Sheet appearance of the year, he's almost made it on multiple occasions. Should be a valuable UDFA or cheap senior sign.\n\n### 👟 Brayden Martin, 2B Maryland (Big Ten)\n\n3-for-4, 2 2B, 2 R, RBI, 2 BB, 2 SB\n\nBrayden Martin is right up there with Gable Mitchell as players who are impressing me more and more every week. The average is right up near .400, has only struck out 11 times, and has stolen 12 bags. Also, from the great Joe Doyle, he has only a 5% whiff rate over 163 swings. There is so much value in putting the ball in play consistently and if Martin can get his approach centered around being gap to gap, he could be a very valuable add to any organization in the first 5-7 rounds.\n\n### ‼️ Kurt Barr, RHP Michigan (Big Ten)\n\n6 IP, 6 H, ER, 2 BB, 9 K\n\nBarr went toe to toe with Clarke, putting up very similar numbers and has been a force for Michigan this season. His 6 innings of 1 run ball weren't enough to sneak out the win but he did his job and more. He's now the 15th pitcher in school history to reach 200 strikeouts and last night he did it off the back of his breaking balls. He picked up tons of whiff and used those offerings as out pitches consistently throughout. Barr is going to be a priority in the middle rounds of this year's draft.\n\n### ‼️ Collin Clarke, RHP Oregon (Big Ten)\n\n6 IP, 5 H, ER, BB, 7 K\n\nOregon's able to set up the rubber match on Saturday after another quality start from Collin Clarke. He's been so steady all season. The entire program's heartbeat must slow down when he's on the mound. It's QS after QS every week and his draft stock is surely rising. Oregon's rotation tends to give them at least 5 innings of 2 run or less baseball every day which should be able to push them through a regional, potentially a super, and if it all comes together, an Omaha run.\n\n### Gable Mitchell, 2B Iowa (Big Ten)\n\n2-for-5, HR, 2B, R, 3 RBI\n\nCan't say enough about Gable Mitchell. He has quickly turned into one of my favorite players in the country and if there's one stat to win you over, it'd be he has one more strikeout than he does HRs (4:3). Now, Mitchell will never be a power hitter by any means but he can be an extremely valuable gap to gap hitter at the top of a lineup. His detractors will say he's older and plays in a weaker conference and while both of those are true, this level of production is impossible to ignore. If I were a GM, I would prioritize Mitchell as a cheaper sign in the top 5 rounds. He won't cost you much in terms of bonus pool but has a chance to give you the production of that range. Really impressive year from the senior.\n\n### Sam Flores, DH Purdue (Big Ten)\n\n3-for-4, HR, 2B, 3 R, 2 RBI\n\nFlores has been ridiculous this season. He has continued to maintain an average above .400 while significantly increasing his power output and overall bat to ball skills. In almost a 30 game sample size, it's not possible to say this is a fluke and should be taken very seriously. His swing is geared for power, getting all of his weight on the back leg, and slowly dropping into position before a quick rotation of the hips and exploding through the zone. It's a heavy barrel seeking out hard contact. While I'm unsure of Flores' defensive home, the strides he has taken with the bat should be enough to garner top 10 round consideration come July.\n\n### Will Sanford, RHP Oregon (Big Ten)\n\n2.2 IP, 2 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 3 K\n\nOn the flip side of this Michigan vs Oregon contest, Will Sanford got touched up for the first time this year. While Oregon's offense has been solid, the pitching staff, namely the weekend rotation, has been what's gotten the Ducks into the top 25. Sanford will need to regain his confidence and remind the rest of the Big 10 that he is the ace of one of the best rotations in the country after 2 subpar starts in a row. This will be a development to keep an eye on as we get closer and closer to postseason play.\n\n### Noah Miller, C Michigan (Big Ten)\n\n2-for-3, HR, 2 R, 3 RBI\n\n### ‼️ Shane Brinham, LHP Michigan (Big Ten)\n\n7 IP, 3 H, 7 K\n\nThe Wolverines stuck it to Oregon to open up their series on Thursday off the backs of Brinham's pitching and Miller's bat. This was Brinham's third start of his career, the young freshman was drafted in the 20th round by the Dodgers but chose to come to school. He had a breakout game last night, throwing a \"complete game\" shutout in a 7 inning run rule of Oregon. Throwing 7 shutty at any level is impressive but for a freshman's third start against a top 25 team? That's something noteworthy and will be remembered by teams when he is draft eligible again in 2028. He utilized his short, quick arm action nicely combined with a fastball, changeup, and slider that were used very well off of each other. Brinham is certainly a name to watch at the top of the draft in 2028. Now to the bats, Miller is solid behind the dish but the bat has been a bit light. He showed some flashes Thursday night, taking a hard fastball out over the opposite field wall. It wasn't the prettiest of swings but it showed the strength he carries within his frame. Will be interested to see if he returns to school or makes a run for the draft.\n\n### ‼️ Noah Kenney, RHP Washington (Big Ten)\n\n7 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 14 K\n\n### ‼️ Tommy Brandenburg, RHP Washington (Big Ten)\n\n6 IP, 3 H, ER, 2 BB, 11 K\n\nHeck of a start to the weekend for Washington starters! Brandenburg strikes out 11 on Thursday night and Noah Kenney follows it up with 14 on Friday. For Kenney, specifically, he has been fantastic through his last 2 starts. Both went 7 innings and has combined for 23 strikeouts. This is incredible development for the JUCO transfer getting comfortable in a major conference. The fastball is heavy with that has a flat approach when at the top of the zone. He paired it nicely with a changeup that has great velo separation and dominating the zone all night. Brandenburg dominated as well, going heavily to his slider with 2-plane-break for a consistent out pitch. His fastball played well up in the zone and was a strong tunneling pitch for that slider that got plenty of swing and miss. In just his second start of the year, Brandenburg was loose, comfortable, and on point Thursday night. Certainly a chance he sticks in that weekend rotation and Washington continues to gain momentum.\n\n* * *\n\n## Mid Majors\n\n _Covered by: Joshua Salguero_\n\n### Josh Polubinski, DH Western Michigan (Mid Majors)\n\n1-for-1, HR, R, 4 RBI, BB\n\nPolubinski came into the game as a pinch runner in the 6th inning of a 3-0 deficit. He’d draw a walk in the 8th to contribute to a mini rally that would bring the game closer at 3-2. A five run half for Central Michigan made the score 8-2 and things looked bleak in the 9th. All of a sudden, five straight free baserunners brought Polubinski as the tying run with still no outs. A swing and a drive and now this game was tied. Polubinski had just two plate appearances and he made both count as the team completed a comeback down six in the 9th to win it.\n\n### 💣💣💣 👟 Hunter Ray, RF Fairleigh Dickinson (Mid Majors)\n\nGame 1: 1-for-3, HR, R, RBI, BB, SB\n\nGame 2: 3-for-4, 2 HR, 2B, 3 R, 4 RBI, K, SB\n\nHunter Ray has been a hitting machine, having just four games this season without a hit. Since the start of March, he’s reached base in every game spanning a total of 22 games. In the games Thursday and Friday, Ray combined for four hits, hitting three home runs and adding a pair of stolen bases along with it. The sophomore looks to be a great power/speed bat for the ‘27 class. He followed up a great freshman season where he launched 8 home runs and 10 stolen bases in 41 games with 13 home runs and 14 stolen bases in just 27 games. Again, another name to monitor for next season.\n\n### 💣💣 🔄 Cavan McMeans, SS Belmont (Mid Majors)\n\nGame 1: 3-for-4, 2 HR, 2B, 2 R, 5 RBI\n\nGame 2: 3-for-5, 3B, 2B, 2 R, RBI\n\nMcMeans banged out six hits on the double-header sweep Friday to take the series from Murray State. He hit for the combined cycle on the day, collecting a single, two doubles, a triple, and two bombs. This day alone raised his OPS from .836 to 1.118. Heck of a day.\n\n### ‼️ Cayden Suchy, LHP Connecticut (Mid Majors)\n\n7.0 IP, 6 H, 2 ER, 11 K, HRA\n\nSuchy may be at the start of a heater. After tossing a one-hit ten strikeout performance last weekend, he followed up with seven innings of two-run ball with eleven strikeouts. The promise is huge with Suchy. The sophomore has shown he has the stuff to be elite, it’s just the matter of finding better consistency. UConn meanwhile has found their form and finally managed to get over .500 for the first time this season.\n\n### ‼️ Ben Blair, RHP Liberty (Mid Majors)\n\n7.0 IP, 6 H, ER, BB, 8 K\n\nToo bad Flora, Whitney, and Edwards exist because Ben Blair absolutely deserves serious consideration for Pitcher of the Year. He’s allowed more than two runs in just one start this year and he’s gone through his last five starts allowing just three runs in 32 innings. On top of all this, he’s walked only five batters this season. Five. In 49.1 innings. He has a miniscule 2.7% BB rate while striking out 36.2% of batters. He’s been unstoppable while facing some of the better offenses in Conference USA.\n\n### Stewart Puckett, 3B South Alabama (Mid Majors)\n\n4-for-5, HR, 3 R, 4 RBI, BB\n\nAfter getting shutout on Thursday, South Alabama exploded for fifteen runs on Friday. Stewart Puckett led the offense with four hits and four RBIs. Puckett started the scoring with a two-run shot in the 1st and added a couple of RBI singles throughout the game. Fun fact, this loss gave Coastal Carolina their first loss in conference play since April 6th of last year. The fact they had that streak is insanity and now South Alabama can lay claims to being the ones who broke it.\n\n### ‼️ Wade Walton, RHP High Point (Mid Majors)\n\n6.0 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 11 K\n\n### ‼️ Ty Brachbill, RHP High Point (Mid Majors)\n\n7.0 IP, 3 H, 7 K\n\nWade Walton and Ty Brachbill atop High Point’s rotation has given them a great chance to take just about any series (just ask Florida). Both duos have had great years and showcased their talents with each having shutout performances on their starts Thursday and Friday, respectively. Walton has a low launch delivery and with his mid 90s fastball and sharp curve, collects his strikeouts with ease. When his command is sufficient, the strikeouts rack up as seen Thursday with his 11 K performance. Brachbill has a similar arsenal but with a completely different release, coming from a completely over-the-top delivery. Differing from Walton, he’s got better control of his pitches but suffers from leaving the ball over the plate. When he’s on, he’s also on, again duly noted with his seven shutout innings Friday. Exciting to think what High Point could do in a regional with these two at the top of the rotation.\n\n### Davin Whitaker, LF East Carolina (Mid Majors)\n\nGame 1: 2-for-4, HR, 3B, 2 R, 5 RBI\n\nGame 2: 3-for-5, 2 R, BB\n\n### Grady Lenahan, CF East Carolina (Mid Majors)\n\nGame 1: 1-for-2, R, BB, K, SB\n\nGame 2: 3-for-4, 3B, 2B, 2 R, 3 RBI\n\nEast Carolina's offense has gone off this week, scoring 12 runs in both games against Charlotte and scoring 38 in their last three games. Davin Whitaker and Grady Lenahan were the big dawgs for both games, combining to go 9-15 with 8 RBIs between Thursday and Friday’s games. The young bucks have been crucial to East Carolina’s success as both underclassmen rank among the top three in team OPS. Whitaker has been a singles machine and tough out to get all year and Lenahan looks to be a star in the making. Even if the pitching falters as seen with Norby on Saturday, the offense can do enough to pick up and take charge of games.\n\n### Niko Brini, CF Wofford (Mid Majors)\n\n3-for-4, HR, 3B, 2B, 3 R, 3 RBI\n\n### ‼️ Alec Bouchard, RHP Wofford (Mid Majors)\n\n7.0 IP, 3 H, ER, BB, 9 K\n\nHighlighting each standout from Wofford’s wins over VMI on Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, Niko Brini finished a single shy of the cycle as Wofford got the run rule win. Brini has been an excellent bat, slashing .368/.450/.607. While he is a bit of a free swinger, he also does a great job at making contact and uses his speed to an advantage to hustle for that hit or extra base. The power has sparked a bit this season too as he’s just one homer shy of matching his total from last season while maintaining his gap power. Friday saw starter Alec Bouchard silence VMI’s excellent lineup. Through seven, he allowed just one run due to a leadoff triple and a subsequent wild pitch. After that blunder, Bouchard retired the next eleven in a row and allowed just four runners through the game. Bouchard had lost his command towards the beginning of March but has found his place again, walking just 4 in his last 18 innings and striking out 19 in the same frame.\n\n### 💣💣 Brant Kragel, 1B Missouri State (Mid Majors)\n\n2-for-4, 2 HR, 2 R, 3 RBI, BB\n\nAs expected, Kragel continues to get spots in the lineup and again proves why it shouldn’t even be a question anymore. Kragel homered twice including the walk-off shot in the 9th. In his last seven games, he’s gone 9-19 with four doubles and four homers. There’s no stopping the Kragel train and the starts will keep coming in while he’s swinging a lightning bolt.\n\n### ‼️ Dax Whitney, RHP Oregon State (Mid Majors)\n\n6.2 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 10 K\n\nThe usual. The three runs allowed last start was a slip-up that won’t happen again. He bounced back with 6.2 shutout innings and struck out double digits for the 6th time this season. He’s extended his league leading strikeout total to 88 and holds the lead by nearly double digits. Whitney is too overpowering and it seems like just luck allows opponents to get a hit off him. Unfortunately for the rest of the league, they’ve still got another year to deal with Whitney.\n\n### ‼️ Jackson Flora, RHP UC Santa Barbara (Mid Majors)\n\n9.0 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 9 K\n\nFlora extended his scoreless innings streak to 34 on Thursday, lowering his ERA to a very nice 0.69. There’s not a lot left to say about Flora, he’s pretty much cemented himself as the #2 player in the class and can make a great argument as the #1 overall. His fastball is elite, his slider is amazing, and his kick-change looks like a star in the making. If you have to nitpick, the command can still stand to improve a bit but near everything about Flora is incredible.\n\n### ‼️ Nathan Aceves, RHP UC Santa Barbara (Mid Majors)\n\n5.1 IP, 4 H, ER, 2 BB, 5 K\n\n### Cole Tryba, LHP UC Santa Barbara (Mid Majors)\n\n3.2 IP, H, 7 K\n\nDevastating for Cal Poly coming off such a hot streak, having to face Flora on Thursday and two more Gauchos with draft prospects on Friday. Nathan Aceves and Cole Tryba combined to allow just two runs as Cal Poly’s hot bats have been iced. Aceves has done fantastic in his transition to the rotation this year, holding virtually the same walk and strikeout rates and limiting hard contact. He’s still working on pitching deep into games and has been capped at 90 pitches in a majority of his games. No worries in pitching deep when you have Cole Tryba following after you. Tryba has found his groove now with consecutive dominating appearances against two great lineups. In these two outings, he’s combined for 8 innings, 1 hit, and 13 strikeouts. Whichever regional that gets UCSB as the #3 or #4 seed will be cursing the higher powers.\n\n* * *\n\n## Southeastern\n\n _Covered by: Brandon Payne_\n\n### 🍔🍟 Derek Curiel, CF Louisiana State (Southeastern)\n\n2-for-4, HR, R, 4 RBI, SB\n\nSo Casan Evans hasn't been lights out after his amazing performance a few weeks ago, but I'm still a fan of what I see with his stuff. a 5 ERA is a tough thing to defend, but I think Evans has the talent to take a step forward heading into 2027. Can I get a welfare check on Drew Wheeler? Another blown lead by the Vols leads to a lose and Derek Curiel being one of the main reasons as to why. A grand slam in the to of the 8th with 2 outs and a 5 run inning leading to the Vols downfall.\n\n### Casan Evans, RHP Louisiana State (Southeastern)\n\n5.2 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 6 K, 2 HRA\n\n### Ethan Mendoza, 2B Texas (Southeastern)\n\n3-for-5, HR, R, 2 RBI\n\nMendoza and Tinney at the top of the Longhorns lineup were defiantly the table setters. Mendoza bagged his 8th homerun on the year while Tinney hit 2 of his own to give 11 on the year and tied with Aiden Robbins for the team lead. Also if I were ranking teams, I would have Texas at #1 over UCLA. There I said it.\n\n### 💣💣 Carson Tinney, C Texas (Southeastern)\n\n3-for-5, 2 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI\n\n### 💣💣💣 Colin Barczi, DH Vanderbilt (Southeastern)\n\n4-for-6, 3 HR, 4 R, 4 RBI\n\nHave yourself a night Colin Barczi. A throng of dongs on Thursday night to open the series is a heck of a way to do so. He doubled his homerun tally for the season in one night. That's impressive.\n\n### 💣💣 Mike Mancini, 2B Vanderbilt (Southeastern)\n\n3-for-4, 2 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, BB\n\nMancini with a double dong in game 1 of the double header. He now has 8 on the year making him tied for second on the team. It wasn't quite enough though to beat Texas A&M.\n\n### Gavin Grahovac, 1B Texas A&M (Southeastern)\n\nGame 1: 1-for-4, R\n\nGame 2: 2-for-5, HR, 2 R, RBI\n\nGrahovic just continues to show off his impressive command of the strike zone. In 142 plate appearances, Grahovic has just 20K to 17BB. He is slashing .360/.465/.675 with a 1.140 OPS and 8 homeruns/ He also has 10 doubles and a triple. It's not crazy to think that Grahovic has the best hit tool in the SEC and maybe the nation.\n\n### ‼️ Jake Marciano, LHP Auburn (Southeastern)\n\n7 IP, 4 H, ER, BB, 8 K, HRA\n\nA tough way to take a loss on your record for Marciano on Friday night. His only run allowed came on a homerun to Helfrick. Despite the run allowed tonight, Marciano is sporting a fancy 0.91 ERA in 7 games started and is 4th in the SEC with 56 strikeouts.\n\n### 💣💣 Ryder Helfrick, C Arkansas (Southeastern)\n\n2-for-4, 2 HR, 2 R, 3 RBI, K\n\nRemember last Friday when I was trying to find another SP to take after Flora and I couldn't decide well I'm going to propose another name. And that is Hunter Dietz. The southpaw has been a roller coaster ride this year, but let's not forget he is coming off of an injury riddles 2025 and he is still young compared to the competition he is facing. Dietz is a certified day 1 talent.\nVaughn Lackey gets all the love for 2026 catchers in the draft and rightly so. However there is something about Ryder Helfrick that I just love. HIs hit tool isn't anything special and that's not to take away from his double dong tonight. But overall as a catcher I think he's the best in the draft his year. He shows a real leadership quality behind the plate that many MLB teams will love about him.\n\n### ‼️ Hunter Dietz, LHP Arkansas (Southeastern)\n\n7 IP, 6 H, ER, 11 K",
