MLB Draft
In what is already one of the deepest MLB draft classes in recent memory, the 2026 class just added another stud that is a near-lock to be a day one selection. Huntington Beach High School (CA) two-way standout Jared Grindlinger announced he is re-classifying to the 2026 draft earlier this week
Among plenty of excellent performances, UC Santa Barbara’s Jackson Flora stood out after dominating #20 (Baseball Focus #22) Southern Miss in the Gauchos opener at Pete Taylor Park in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
Jackson Flora is #9 on my draft board and already has a big arrow up next to his name after his start against Southern Miss. Hitters had no answer for the FB and CH. Mixed and matched with 2 breaking ball shapes. Filled the zone. 6 IP, 5 K, 0 BB, 0 ERpic.twitter.com/ulOm8tUwQE
