Draft Board update as we flip the calendar to May

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

Top of the 2027 class just got a lot more crowded

[eric sondheimer @latsondheimer]

Corona Santiago pitcher Striker Pence announced he has reclassified and will be a senior next season in the class of 2027. Another pitcher doing the same is Norco's Jordan Ayala.

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

This is Google AI incorrectly linking a Keith Law ranking that mentioned Gavin Grahovac’s 2025 Labrum injury to Roch Cholowsky this year.

Not sure why people asked for Google to switch to this

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

Utah Tech’s Kyle McDaniel is in the portal. 239th on my soon to be updated 2026 board. With first hand experience on the WCL last summer, this guy will hit anywhere he goes.

After a model refresh and new entrants this is now up to 33rd, ahead of schools like Coastal Carolina, Cincinnati, Nebraska, and USC

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

“Portal” University is already up to 47th on my School Draft Value Rankings for 2026 alone.

Scared to find out what it would be for 2027

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

@matthewk36711 He was up to 99.5 earlier this month! Really intriguing SR option

[11Point7 College Baseball @11point7]

DAYTON TOCKEY WALK OFF BOMB. #2 NATIONAL SEED GEORGIA TECH IS ELIMINATED. WOWWWW

[AYS Sports @AYSSPORTS]

LSU IF Trent Caraway will be entering the Transfer Portal.

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

A new top portal entrant from my '27 Board, was #13. First of the 50 FVs, and a 65-graded raw power bat. That's 5 of the 75 in thus far.. and we're only officially an hour in.

[Kendall Rogers @KendallRogers]

PORTAL NEWS: This is a big one, as @UW_Baseball OF Jackson Hotchkiss has entered the Transfer Portal. Hotchkiss, a First Team All-B1G Selection, finished the 2026 campaign with a .339 average, nine doubles, 20 homers and 47 RBIs. Will be a hot commodity.

Welp it’s already open. Why can’t everything be West Coast time

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

Another power bat shocker. It'll only be 1 year with Clemson for Nate Savoie, who is #14 on my College list. Really starting to heat up with the portal opening soon

[Andrew Riedell @RiedellAndrew]

Breaking: Clemson C/OF Nate Savoie will be entering the transfer portal, I've been told.

Savoie transferred from LMU to Clemson this past year, and in his lone year with the Tigers, he hit .329 with 16 HRs, 52 RBIs, and 13 doubles.

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

Another power bat into the portal and a bit of a shocker. #25 on my 2027 College board

[aroundthehorn @_aroundthehorn_]

Transfer🚨Texas Tech freshman SS Linkin Garcia is entering the transfer portal. This year he played in 55 games and hit .338 with 25 XBH showcasing elite defense at SS.
A projected top 20 pick in the 2027 draft, Linkin will be one of the best gets in this entire portal cycle.

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

2027 CFP National Championship preview wow

[Kendall Rogers @KendallRogers]

SUPERS BOUND: Miles Gosztola struck out eight and allowed a run on five hits in six innings of work as @OregonBaseball defeated rival Oregon State, 4-1, to advance to the Super Regional round.

Oregon vs. Texas in Austin next weekend should be phenomenal.

I will be there.

[11Point7 College Baseball @11point7]

Cal Poly sweeps the Los Angeles regional

Mustangs advance to super regionals for the FIRST TIME in program history

[GoDucks @GoDucks]

Super Ducks.

@OregonBaseball defeats Oregon State to win the Eugene Regional. #GoDucks

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

52-8
37-2 against power conference teams

Yet couldn’t get past UC San Diego, San Diego St, UC Santa Barbara, Sacramento St, and St Marys (2x).

California mid-majors are up big

[11Point7 College Baseball @11point7]

THE SAINT MARY'S GAELS WALK IT OFF. ADVANCE TO REGIONAL FINAL FOR FIRST TIME IN PROGRAM HISTORY 🔥🔥🔥

#1 NATIONAL SEED UCLA IS ELIMINATED

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

Biggest portal entrant so far. #34 on my 2027 board with big power potential

[Matt Freeman @mattfreeman05_]

Notre Dame OF Bino Watters tells me he will enter the Transfer Portal.

As a soph, Watters was named First Team All-ACC after batting .362 with 10 HRs, 51 RBI, .610 SLG% and .447 OB%. In two seasons at ND, Watters held an OPS of 1.026.

Watters is considered by many to be a 1st rd prospect in the 2027 MLB Draft.

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

If only there was a non small market expansion option

[Just Baseball @JustBB_Media]

Several MLB owners and executives think expansion in MLB doesn’t make sense financially, per @BNightengale.

One executive said, “Why would we want to subsidize two more small-market teams? I don’t understand it. The economics don’t add up."

An owner said, “Those teams certainly won’t be paying money into revenue sharing, so it will be less money for everyone else. What’s the added benefit, to get more fans engaged? I’m not sure expansion will drive fan engagement in either market.”

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

Why would you pitch to Junior Lauaki

[Will Dodge @willtdodge]

First player from my '27 list to hit the portal. Was in at #52. Difficult AB to face with good bat-to-ball and better power than the size suggests

[aroundthehorn @_aroundthehorn_]

Transfer🚨Air Force Freshman Wyatt Hanoian is entering the transfer portal. He was named the Mountain West Freshman of the year and was named to First Team All Conference after posting incredible numbers hitting .357/.500 with 6 HR, 47 RBI and a 1.073 OPS
