Ethin Bingaman, UTL, Auburn- Bingaman batted .259 (7-for-27) with a .296 slugging percentage over eight games of the Trials. He drove in four, collected a double and posted a .286 on-base percentage with an uncharacteristic six strikeouts against just one walk. He also stole two bases in two attempts. Batting with an open setup he strides to even with a compact swing and plus bat speed. Although he only produced one XBH during the Trials, Bingaman has plus raw power as evidenced by a 114.8 max EV this spring. He’s one of a select few 2028 eligible hitters to produce plus power combined with low whiff. While he grips and takes a rip at the plate, he’s also selectively aggressive with his approach. He uses all fields, but could stay through the baseball better allowing him to drive it the other way. Defensively, his arm strength and run speed (4.37 H-1B) are near average. Bingaman showed fair hands at the hot corner and made some nifty plays at first base. He did not make an error in 43 chances playing the corners. His draft value will center on offensive production and positional versatility, but will likely be limited to first base or left field. As a bat-first prospect, Bingaman fits the profile of a first round prospect similar to James Tibbs (2025) and Logan Hughes (2026).

Will Geary, OF, Lindenwood- Geary impressed at the Trials with his athleticism and speed. In six games the lefthanded hitter batted just .071 (1-for-14) with a .071 slugging, but did get on base at a .350 clip, drawing three walks and three hit-by-pitches while adding one stolen base in one attempt. At 6-foot-3, 180 pounds his top tool is his speed, running H-1B in 3.82 seconds on a sacrifice bunt and 3.93 on a routine groundout. He routinely got down the line around four seconds from the left side. As a double-plus runner with a strong arm in the outfield, Geary's game is built around speed and defense. The bat needs development, but he does battle at the plate and his athleticism suggests a high-upside toolsy outfielder who can impact the game on the bases and in the field.

Brayden Jaksa, C, Oregon- Jaksa, a likely future first-rounder, performed well behind the plate and at it. The loose-swinging righthanded hitter was 5-for-19 (.263) across eight games, with a pair of doubles, one RBI, a .368 slugging, and .300 on-base percentage. His projectable frame at 6-foot-6, 220 pounds, suggests he can add significant strength, but is also athletic enough to maintain agility behind the plate. There’s a comparison to be made to Dale Murphy who outgrew the catching position and converted to the outfield and first base, and Jaksa has an equal chance to become similar to another tall, large-framed backstop, Ben Davis. Both Jaksa’s arm strength and footwork project as above average. Offensively, he has an easy, repeatable swing with future plus power as he continues to fill out. He did a really good job of getting his hands inside of inner-third heaters, while also having the bat strength to pull outer half sliders with authority. All told, he’s a high-ceiling prospect who will likely end up as one of the top five positional college prospects for the 2028 draft.

Anthony Pack Jr., CF, Texas- Pack Jr. is a dynamic, toolsy center fielder and table-setter at the plate. He combines plus-to-better tools with performance out of a compact 5-foot-10, 190-pound frame. His athleticism is elite and has power potential out of the leadoff spot. In eight games with the Stars at the Trials, he batted .250 (5-for-20) with a triple, home run, five RBIs, .500 slugging, and .375 on-base percentage (4 walks vs 9 strikeouts). With all the good in the batter’s box, the lefthanded hitter did struggle against fastballs, both with chase up in the zone and some z-whiff against middle-middle, low-90s heaters. However, taking bat-to-ball against fastballs was not a weakness during the college season (80th percentile z-whiff) and his summer tendency may just evolve into a useless footnote, but time will tell. Pack, Jr. also went 4-for-4 in stolen bases and showed plus-plus speed – home to third in 11.43 seconds. His defense in the outfield was flawless in limited chances and he showed good range in every direction. Pack, Jr. was one of three position players to make the final 28-man squad for the World Championship games in Taiwan where he batted .273 (3-for-11) in four games. A high-motor player with star potential, Pack, Jr. joins Jaksa atop the positional prospect list of the college class for 2028.

Jacob Parker, OF, Mississippi State- After an outstanding spring season for the Bulldogs (.339 with 18 HR, 62 RBIs), Parker struggled at the plate with length to his swing and a susceptibility to spin during the Trials. In eight games, he batted .179 (5-for-28) with a home run, two RBIs and .207 on-base percentage. He struck out 16 times against just one walk. However, he did punish bad pitches including a crushed curveball for a home run against the Appy Select squad. His defense in the outfield and at first base was clean (11 chances, 1.000 fielding). Overall, swing/miss is a concern at this point, but his power potential (114.1 max EV this spring) rivals anyone in the 2028 college positional class. Prospect-wise, he’s similar to Caden Sorrell (Texas A&M), who was recently selected in the second round.

Nico Partida, 3B, Texas A&M- Partida was a standout at the Trials, splitting time between the Stars and the Stripes. With the Stripes he batted .667 (8-for-12) with two doubles, one HR and three RBIs. In 13 at-bats with the Stars he batted .231. He was also one of three position players to make the final 28-man squad for the World Championship games in Taiwan where he posted a .316 on-base in four games. He also stole one base and showed above-average speed underway. There’s not a ton of projection to his 6-foot, 190-pound frame, but there are plus-to-better present tools that include a 80-grade arm (he touched 100 on the bump as a prep), plus power (112.4 max EV this spring), solid bat-to-ball ( and defensive versatility. His tools, combined with baseball skills and performance make him a top 50 overall prospect for 2028.

JD Stein, INF, Wake Forest to NC State- Stein impressed at the Trials with a .357 (5-for-14) batting average, one double, two RBIs, .429 slugging, and .609 on-base percentage (eight walks vs three strikeouts). He also stole six bases in nine attempts and was one of three position players to make the final 28-man squad for the World Championship games in Taiwan where he was 1-for-2 at the plate. His hit was an inside the park home run. Stein is a true grinder and ballplayer who overachieves. Small in stature at a 5-8, 170-pounds, he has excellent instincts, contact skills with a flat swing, plus speed (4.2 H-1B from right side) and sneaky power (108.6 max EV in spring). He plays with high energy and impacts the game in multiple ways. Overall, he has the classic overachiever profile with strong makeup and baseball IQ.

Jorian Wilson, OF, Texas A&M- The 6-foot-4, 240-pound Wilson showed plus athleticism in camp despite a tough batting line: .080 (2-for-25) with a double, one RBI, .148 on-base and two walks vs ten strikeouts. He’s a solid defender who moves really well for his size (4.3 H-1B from the left side)  and repeatedly shows plus arm strength from right field. Somewhat raw at the plate, the lefthanded hitter flashed raw power (114.7 max EV this spring) that project to impact the game in the middle of a MLB lineup. Obviously, further development at the plate will determine his trajectory and best-best case he could become a lefthanded version of Frank Thomas. But, with more reasonable development, he could become a similar prospect to 2026 second-rounder Myles Bailey. No matter, his size, tools and athleticism are clear and he has high upside and top round potential for 2028.
