As they did with college players last week, Carlos Collazo and Peter Flaherty hop on the Baseball America Draft Podcast to go back and forth drafting the best high school tools among players in the 2025 class to create the best imaginary prospects possible.

For hitters they have to pick the following: hit tool, raw power tool, running tool, fielding tool and arm tool. And for pitchers they have to assemble the following: fastball, slider, curveball, changeup and control/command. 

Which players do you like best? Which tools should we have considered? Let us know.
