School: Mississippi State Committed: Never Drafted
Age At Draft: 21.2
Jordan is a powerful athlete with otherworldly bat speed that leads to tremendous raw power and some of the best exit velocity numbers in the country. Jordan was a notable prep prospect out of high school, when he was also a three-star football player, but he made it to campus at Mississippi State where he slashed .307/.397/.575 with 10 home runs and nine doubles in his 2023 freshman season. He has significant contact questions and will need to improve on the 25% strikeout rate he posted in his first college season, but he did walk at a solid 13.6% clip and he also managed a 112.6-mph 90th percentile exit velocity—which is one of the better marks you’ll see in college. Now a draft-eligible sophomore for the 2024 season, Jordan’s athleticism and power offer unique upside potential. -
School: Canton (Miss.) Academy Committed/Drafted: Mississippi State
Age At Draft: 19.2
A 6-foot, 215-pound outfielder, Jordan has an exciting present combination of power, speed and athleticism. He’s a standout football player who is rated a three-star athlete according to 247Sports and is committed to Mississippi State to play both baseball and football. Jordan clocked a 6.43-second 60-yard dash in 2021 at East Coast Pro and showed twitchy hands in the batter’s box with raw power that some scouts have described as “monstrous.” Despite his tools, scouts wonder about his pure hitting ability and there are some who think he’ll wind up being a corner outfielder rather than a center fielder—which puts plenty of pressure on the bat. If Jordan does make it to campus, he will be draft-eligible as a sophomore in the 2024 class.
