About this episode
The episode discusses NCAA postseason play and its implications for MLB Draft prospects.
Just ahead of expanding (to a Top 200!) and re-ranking the MLB Pipeline Draft prospects list, Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff do a deep dive into NCAA postseason play through decidedly Draft-colored glasses on this week's Pipeline Podcast. They bring up storylines across all 16 Regionals, set to begin Friday, from top prospect Roch Cholowsky and UCLA to No. 3 Vahn Lackey and his powerful Georgia Tech lineup and on to top pitching prospect Jackson Flora and Santa Barbara on a bigger stage, this episode has you covered. There was still time to talk professional prospects, of course, with the guys breaking down the newest addition to the Top 100, Nationals infielder Devin Fitz-Gerald, and a pair of Top 100 players getting called up to the bigs for the first time in Pedro Ramirez (Cubs) and Gage Jump (A's). As always, the trio wrapped things up with a fun Mailbag question about where Lackey would rank on the last three Draft lists. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
