    Though Adam Trent emerged suddenly and grabbed the state's highest Major League Scouting Bureau rating, the more established Pomeranz proved over the course of the spring that he's still Tennessee's best prospect. He went 9-0, 0.11 while averaging two strikeouts an inning. He has a stronger body at 6-foot-7 and 218 pounds to go with a deeper and more consistent repertoire. He has thrown in the low 90s every time out and shown good depth on a slurvy breaking ball. He has more room to improve than most of the top righthanders in this draft, but he doesn't have a real quick arm action so he may not reach the mid-90s. His only college commitment is to Chipola (Fla.) JC, so he's very signable and could go as early as the second round.
