On Tuesday, the top 25 of the initial 2021 Junior College Rankings were released. The list will be expanded next week, but for now, here is a closer look at the top 10 prospects.

1. Christian McGowan, RHP, Eastern Oklahoma State JC
McGowan ranked No. 8 in the final Top 100 JUCO Prospects for the 2020 draft and now leads the 2021 class at this point in the evaluation process. At his best the 6-foot-2, 200-pound right-hander runs his fastball into the upper 90s, while sitting mostly 93-95. He backs up his heater with a mid-80s slider and a quality, low-80s changeup.
