BA 500 Best Available



The first day is complete with 60 players off the board. As you get ready for the second round and beyond, here's a look at the 10 best available players from the BA 500 with quick scouting reports:

34. Tanner Rahier, ss, Palm Desert (Calif.) HS
Baseball rat plays with a ton of energy. Knack for squaring it up with wood.

36. Anthony Alford, of, Petal (Miss.) HS
Southern Mississippi football recruit has excellent athleticism.

38. Ty Buttrey, rhp, Providence HS, Charlotte
Older prep righty started hot but wore out from heavy workload. Video

43. Carson Kelly, 3b/rhp, Westview HS, Portland, Ore.
Draws David Wright comparisons for bat and makeup. Video

44. Mitch Brown, rhp, Century HS, Rochester, Minn.
Scouts love his size, stuff, projection and makeup. Video

46. Nolan Fontana, ss, Florida
Reliable glove with patient offensive approach.

47. Wyatt Mathisen, c, Calallen HS, Corpus Christi, Texas
Mostly played shortstop in high school, but profiles best behind the plate.

50. Walker Buehler, rhp, Clay HS, Lexington, Ky.
90-94 mph fastball with chance for three plus pitches. Tough sign away from Vanderbilt.

53. Hunter Virant, lhp, Camarillo (Calif.) HS
Relatively new to pitching but shows feel for four pitches, including a fastball up to 93 and a potential plus changeup. Video

54. Alex Wood, lhp, Georgia
Funky TJ survivor has been up to 95 mph. Profiles best in bullpen.
