Draft Prospects

School: Oregon State Committed: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.2
May has long intrigued scouts with his pure arm talent, and ranked as the No. 325 prospect in the 2022 class with Lima (Ariz.) JC thanks to a fastball that got into the mid 90s. He didn’t get drafted and played the 2023 season at Arizona, where he struggled with consistency and command, and posted a 6.33 ERA over 16 starts and 75.1 innings. May will pitch the 2024 season with Oregon State where he’ll look to put everything together for the first time. His sinking fastball sits in the low 90s and has been up to 97, and he’s paired that with a low-80s slider with solid bite, a harder cutter in the upper 90s and an infrequently used changeup in the mid 80s that he typically buried beneath the zone. -
School: Pima (Ariz.) JC Committed/Drafted: Arizona
Age At Draft: 19.2
A 6-foot-2, 195-pound righthander, May has been scouted heavily during the 2022 season with Pima (Ariz.) JC. He came out of the gate extremely hot with a fastball up into the 95-96 mph range, but that velocity trended down over the course of the spring and his control was scattered as well. His overall results in juco were disappointing, as May posted a 5.21 ERA over 12 starts and 46.2 innings, with 50 strikeouts and 28 walks. Scouts have offered mixed feedback on the quality of his fastball life, likely depending on when in the season they saw him, and May will also throw a breaking ball that blends between a slider and curveball, with solid bite when he hits on it. He’s infrequently used a changeup, but it was a distant third pitch this spring. May’s performance could make it more likely that he heads to Arizona for the 2023 season, but some scouts think he’s the perfect sort of arm to get in a player development system—with loud pure stuff but some refinement needed.
