Junior College talent was well represented in the 2023 MLB Draft, with 44 players from the NJCAA ranks earning selections during the three-day event. The first two names to come off the board -- LHP Kyle Carr (Palomar, CA) and LHP Christian Oppor (Gulf Coast, FL) -- were Prep Baseball’s top two prospects on our 2023 Mid-season JUCO Prospect Rankings.

At this point, the 2024 JUCO class lacks a sure-fire Day One draft talent. Still, it's a talented group featuring a mix of projectable arms and tooled-up athletes, many of whom are former highly-ranked prep prospects, previously drafted players and/or Division I bounce-backs.
