The summer-to-fall transfer is Oklahoma’s Kyson Witherspoon, who sits at No. 9. The power right-hander started the summer in impressive fashion at the U.S. CNT Trials and continued his rise with a great fall season. His fastball was consistently marked up to 98, and he also showed a plus slider. He also found the zone numerous times with a changeup that was above major league average quality.

Laviolette, Cannarella and Petry lead an elite outfield that is the top talent in the 2025 college draft class. Outfielders occupy No. 10 to No. 13 in the prospect rankings and 10 of the top 20. Petry is No. 10, but that doesn’t come after lengthy discussions and comparisons with Indiana’s Devin Taylor (No. 11), Georgia’s Tre Phelps (No. 12) and Arizona’s Brendan Summerhill (No. 13). No. 15 Max Bellew (Texas), No. 17 Henry Ford (Virginia), No. 19 Nick Dumenil (Cal Baptist) and No. 20 Nolan Schubert (Oklahoma State) complete the list of top 20 outfielders. .
Compared to the 2024 college draft class, the 2025 class is significantly lacking in two-way talent. There aren’t any prospects that can match Jack Carianone or Carson Benge, but the best one right now is former Gator Chris Arroyo (Virginia), who, like the Cags, is a left-handed pitcher and hard-hitting first baseman. .
As for Florida and Virginia, both states have six prospects in the top 150, followed by LSU (nine), Tennessee and Arkansas (eight each), Oklahoma State and Wake Forest. It ranks sixth behind the states (seven each).
