MLB Draft 2024 Day 2: 10 best college baseball players to watch out for ft. Ryan Prager

Day 2 of the MLB Draft 2024 is all set to begin and there are still a lot of quality players who could be selected very soon. Let's take a closer look at the best available college baseball players remaining in the draft pool.

Best college players available on Day 2 of MLB Draft 2024

Ryan Prager, Texas A&M

Ryan Prager did very well in terms of keeping hitters guessing despite not having the electric stuff. The redshirt sophomore left-hander finished 9-1 with a 2.95 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP in 97.2 innings. Hitters are going to have a tough time timing him up and he should be off the board quickly today.

Kevin Bazzell, Texas Tech

One of the best catchers in the MLB Draft 2024 is Texas Tech's Kevin Bazzell. He has a solid hit tool and could be the best catcher in the draft class.

He posted a .330 batting average with 16 home runs and 94 RBIs in 112 total games. Bazzell has shown the ability to throw runners out with a strong arm, so it will be interesting to see how long it will be until he gets his name called.

Mike Sirota, Northeastern

The 21-year-old outfielder from Northeastern has shown to be one of the best hitters in the country. He has a 1.060 OPS in Sirota's first two years of college baseball and has blazing speed.

Sirota had first-round expectations entering the season but fell a bit so he should improve after being drafted 492nd overall in the 2021 draft.

Dakota Jordan, Mississippi State

If you like a power bat with the ability to run, Mississippi State's Dakota Jordan is your guy. His contact rate needs to show some improvement at making consistent contact and not swinging and missing at pitches. His right-handed swing provides a lot of hard hits and could be a good option for any team.

Drew Beam, Tennessee

Drew Beam has a lot of solid stuff with his four-pitch arsenal (fastball, curveball, cutter, changeup) and they are all plus pitches. His repeatable delivery and high ground ball rate make him a safe bet in terms of starting pitchers in the entire draft. Beam has also shown the ability to pitch well in high-pressure games.

Kavares Tears, Tennessee

A left-handed outfielder for the Tennessee Volunteers in Kavares Tears shows the ability to be one of the best players available on Day 2 of the MLB draft 2024.

Tears has incredible hitting ability and is just an overall fundamental player who should be able to do well. He's not going to be a great base-stealer but still shows a lot of promise.

Gage Miller, Georgia

Gage Miller has been a great player in college baseball but there are some question marks about his pro ball. He has struggled with arm strength and is an okay fielder, but a solid hitter.

Miller could transition to either first or second base. However, he has been able to hit well against everything but changeups. He has the capabilities to hit to the pull side for extreme power and could be a middle-of-the-lineup bat.

Josh Hartle, Wake Forest

The lefty starting pitcher out of Wake Forest is one of the better recipes in the MLB draft. Standing at 6-foot-5, he has the ability to do well here and has a quality four-pitch arsenal (fastball, slider, cutter, change).

He has to improve as his heater is only sitting at 90 MPH and topping out at 94. He also needs to have a lot of movement in order to get consistent outs. Hartle can get to mid-90s with his fastball and has some strong abilities to dominate.

Tristan Smith, Clemson

Another solid southpaw pitcher is Tristan Smith and has some solid abilities to do well in the pros. He has three strong pitches with his fastball, slider and changeup all clicking.

However, he has to increase his consistency in throwing strikes and needs to improve with a bit more speed on his heater. The upside of Smith is likely to do well and get called very quickly on Day 2 of the MLB Draft 2024.

Peyton Stovall, Arkansas

Having a solid left-handed bat at the second baseman position is great. Stovall turned down first-round offers in 2021 out of high school to play for Arkansas.

He dealt with a bit of the injury bug in college as he suffered a torn labrum and broke his left foot. He still has the ability to hit all over the field and should be a solid player in MLB for a decade.
