As we enter the fourth weekend of the college season, the charade of calling these “pre-season” lists grows sillier and sillier. As I’ve mentioned before, the rankings below are based off of pre-season evaluations while the commentary will occasionally venture over into updated real world happenings. This is done for two reasons: 1) consistency with other conference lists that actually were published before the season began, and 2) a not so subtle statement that two to three years of data and copious scouting notes far outstrips the importance of a few draft season plate appearances or innings pitched. I’ve seen some sites in the past update their draft rankings and talk lustily about college players rising and falling on draft boards based only on having “good” or “bad” outcomes in a given weekend – great moves for generating traffic, by the way – and all I can do is laugh.

So, once again, the rankings are left unchanged from where I had them six weeks or so ago when I put this together, but, after running this list by a few smart people and taking a quick peek at the Sun Belt stats page after three and a half weeks, there is certainly room for improvement.

The top two names on the hitting list are scuffling so far in the early going. Cole Billingsley, a favorite of mine thanks to outstanding athleticism, easy CF range, and above-average to plus speed, has had a slow start, but figures to get things rolling before too long. He’s a high-contact hitter who doubles as one of college ball’s best bunters. The entire package adds up to standout fourth outfielder if it all works in pro ball. Steven Sensley has less of a D1 track record, but he’s still been on the prospect map for years. With Sensley, you’re buying the bat coming alive in a big way because, outside of a strong arm, his tools outside of the batter’s box don’t excite. His ranking pretty clearly reflects what I think of his bat. The two are still my favorite position player prospects in the class, but the gap has admittedly closed some within this season’s first month.

Three names that have come up time and again when talking to those in the know are Ryan Scott, Joe Robbins, and Drew Labounty. The first two guys are off to scorching starts, so it’s no shock that I’ve heard a lot about them of late. My notes on Scott are sparse, but those who like his bat really seem to like it. I have a little more on Robbins – steady glove, can play multiple infield spots, average or better wheels – but nothing in his scouting dossier suggested an offensive breakout like the one he’s having. Is it a hot three weeks worth of games? Or a sign of real, sustainable growth? Beats me, but having one more prospect to follow with interest this spring is never a bad thing. LaBounty was the one player out of the trio that I heard a lot of positive things about all offseason. He received high praise for his glovework up the middle and I was partial to his impressive plate discipline (40 BB/38 K coming into the year). So far so good for LaBounty on both sides of the ball this spring. I write it often, so what’s one more time: in a draft short on college shortstop prospects of note, the opportunity is there for some of the currently less-heralded mid-major prospects to make some moves.

Granger Studdard is another personal favorite of mine out of the Sun Belt due to his power upside, athleticism, arm strength, and speed. The last three facets of his game are far stronger than you see out of a typical first base prospect, so it’s not shock that the majority of those I spoke to who like him as well prefer him as a corner outfielder. That defensive versatility only boosts his stock. The most interesting thing about Studdard to me is how scouts have raved about his approach since his first year at Texas State. Much like what has been said about Kyle Lewis at Mercer, the buzz surrounding Studdard has been about how he really knows how to hit and approaches every plate appearance like a seasoned veteran. Like Mercer, however, the results didn’t seem to back it up: Studdard hit well in both of his college seasons, but did so while putting up BB/K ratios of 19/42 and 20/62. The disconnect between the scouting take and the on-field indicators figured to come to a head in his draft season, and, so far, the scouts look like they know a thing or two about the game. SMALL SAMPLE SIZE, but Studdard has walked twelve times in 2016 with only five strikeouts to his name. If that’s real, then you can put his standing as one of the best under-the-radar mid-major bats in the county in ink.

On (kind of) the other end of the spectrum is Matt McLean of Texas-Arlington. McLean is a good runner and savvy all-around ballplayer who (to my knowledge) isn’t being talked up by anybody as a serious draft prospect. I’m not sure whether he is or isn’t, but the way he commands the strike zone has my respect. McLean is off to a similar start as Studdard (12 BB/4 K), but differs in that it’s part of a longer track record of doing so (40 BB/19 K last year). When looking to fill out rosters late during the draft, I’d recommend McLean to my scouting director every time. I’m high on the McLean’s on the world not only for what they could become in their own right – solid org guys can occasionally turn into useful pieces over time – but also because of the unseen positives that bringing players like this into an organization can provide. I don’t think McLean possesses any magic plate discipline dust that would rub off on his teammates, but having my young guys exposed to his consistent professional approach to the game, calculated plan of attack as a hitter, aggressive yet smart style of play in all phases, and determination to succeed no matter what couldn’t hurt.

I’ve used up most of my words on hitters (again), so I’ll be brief when it comes to the most interesting Sun Belt pitchers for 2016. The two arms that have gotten the most praise from those I’ve talked to are Kevin Hill and Brayden Bouchey.

Hill is the consummate college senior tearing up younger hitters with pinpoint command and stellar sequencing. He’s capable of tossing one of his three offspeed pitches in any count, and there’s now enough fastball (up to 88-92 this year, peaking at 93) to keep hitters from sitting on it. Smarts, plus command, and solid stuff make Hill a really good senior-sign, but it’s his fantastic athleticism that helps set him apart. The entire package makes him arguably one of the best potential senior-signs in the country. One scout referred to him as “store brand Aaron Nola.” I’m in.

(I wasn’t sure how to shoehorn this in without breaking up the flow otherwise, so a parenthetical aside will have to do. Tyler Zuber and Lucas Humpal are not entirely dissimilar to Hill as prospects. All have the high baseball IQ righthander thing down; Zuber and Humpal take it up a notch with advanced changeups good enough to be used as their primary out pitch. I guess the moral of this story is that if you miss out on the (slightly) more famous Hill, there are other appealing Sun Belt options with similar strengths to target on draft day.)

Bouchey came into the year with lackluster peripherals (3.75 K/9 and 4.00 BB/9 in 36.1 IP last year) despite intriguing stuff. In weighing performance vs projection, I tend to put more weight on the former when compared to “real” scouts. You can’t scout solely off of statistical output, but it’s a really big piece of the puzzle. This is where the internet can be a bit of a bummer. To get heard, you need to go to extremes. Whether that means extolling the virtues of a player who has put up big numbers with neutral or worse scouting reports (and getting blasted for scouting the box score and discounting projection as a factor) or holding on to beliefs formed in one short look at a player despite all statistical evidence to the contrary (and getting ripped by those who believe development is linear and Heisman Trophies equate to pro success), you need to be LOUD to get recognized. Moderate approaches that attempt to balance a multitude of factors are not nearly as fun to read about, I guess. There’s no need to constantly be hedging one’s bets along the way – that’s simply not realistic – but a little patience, humility, and self-awareness on the part of the evaluator can go a long way.

I personally don’t think there’s anything about baseball that’s all that complicated, at least outside of actually playing it well at a high level. Playing is hard, but watching and forming opinions about what you’ve watched is a pretty straightforward endeavor. With few exceptions, if a player has put up impressive numbers at every level of competition along the way, then said player deserves to keep getting chances until he doesn’t. Conversely, if a player have the kind of physical ability that is apparent to a five-year old on his or her first ever day at the park, he’s entitled to a few extra shots even after he’s shown he’s not yet ready to consistently produce. There’s no need to pick a side: the draft goes forty rounds deep every year for a reason, there’s room for all types to get their shot. Some guys produce and produce and produce without it ever looking like they should be able to do the things they do; others can keep it up against a certain level of competition before their fatal flaws are exploited. Some guys take a really long time to go from toolsy athlete to high-performing ballplayer; others never really get past just being bigger, faster, and more athletic than their peers enough to develop the necessary skills they’ll need later on.

With Bouchey you get the best (or worst, if you’re a glass half-empty type) of both worlds. Coming into the season, his numbers left little to get excited about. His scouting reports, however, were uniformly upbeat: his 88-92 fastball with real sink, promising curve, plus command, deception in his delivery, and intriguing size (6-6, 210) had those who had seen him up close encouraged about his future. In his case, projection appears to be winning out over prior production, at least now that the (small sample size!) results (12.15 K/9 and 3.31 BB/9 in 16.1 IP) have caught up to his talent level. It doesn’t always work out quite this well, so we’ll enjoy it for now…and hope that Bouchey has turned the corner as a prospect. As with Hill, I’m in.

I’m less in on Joel Kuhnel. The big righty from Texas-Arlington, who incidentally reminds me of one of the many flame-throwing Dallas Baptist relievers from last year, is a favorite of many I’ve spoken to, but, for reasons both on the scouting side and the numbers side, I’m not really feeling it. It’s very likely a reliever profile (to me), so some of his value is cut off at the legs already. I do think he can be a fine bullpen piece with continued refinement — starting with a fastball that touches 96-97 and a hard 86-87 MPH slider doesn’t hurt – so depending on where he falls on draft day he could be a nice value for a team searching for a potential late-inning arm. I’ve gotten a Toddy Coffey comp for him that works in a few different ways (though I’m unclear if Kuhnel’s mound entrance is as entertaining as Coffey’s), but I think that could wind up being a little light in the long run. Not that there’s anything wrong with an eight-year career that earns you just under seven million bucks, of course. I suppose part of my relative lack of love for Kuhnel is anticipating how highly others will value him come June. It’s not ideal logic, but it’s all I’ve got for now.

(Another parenthetical just because: Todd Coffey had such a great journeyman reliever career. Look at his ERA+ by season: 96, 131, 80, 101, 142, 85, 106, 83. The gold standard for that had always been Rheal Cormier’s run with the Phillies for me [101, 74, 235, 127, 75, 297], but I think Coffey tops it with his beautiful yo-yo run. It’s like if the Giants organization were embodied by one man.)

I wrote about Reagan Bazar back in October…

Bazar is one of the bigger gambles to grace this list. He hasn’t done enough yet at Louisiana to warrant such a placement, but when he’s feeling it his stuff (mid- to upper-90s FB, promising low-80s SL) can suffocate even good hitting. Yes, I realize ranking the 6-7, 250+ pound righthander this high undermines a lot of what I said directly above. I’ll always be a sucker for big velocity and Bazar hitting 100+ certainly qualifies.

He was ranked way too high on that list and arguably too high on this list, but I just can’t quit on his velocity. I might just have to accept the fact I’ll always rank him too high and move on. But if he does put it all together…
