Cholowsky Remains No. 1

Roch Cholowsky is leading the charge despite having a slow couple of weeks. He looked more like his usual self with a homer and 3 hits yesterday to help UCLA sweep Southern Cal. Cholowsky has 11 homers this season and is hitting .342. Scouts love his bat as he can hit for power along with average, and have been saying he’s the best college shortstop prospect since Troy Tulowitzki.
Curiel Lands at No. 9

Curiel is hitting .362 and has 47 hits with 8 doubles, 2 triples, and 4 homers this season. His OPS is .992, and he has a career high of 10 stolen bases in 33 games. Curiel gets a lot of comparisons to Christian Yelich with his lean frame and excellent bat-to-bat skills.
Flora, Flukey Land in Top 10

Flukey wowed scouts in the CWS last year when he went toe-to-toe with No. 3 overall pick Kade Anderson. This spring, he is dealing with an injury, but it doesn’t look like it’s going to keep him from being a high pick in July. He’s huge (6’6″) and can run it up to 98 miles per hour with his fastball.
Jackson Flora is an impressive 6-0 for UC Santa Barbara. His ERA is an absurd 0.69, and he has 65 strikeouts over 52.1 innings. He has been running his fastball into the triple digits and using a slider that can get up to 87. Many scouts are seeing him as potentially the best collegiate pitcher in the draft, as well as the top pitching prospect overall.
