DRAFT NAMES TO KNOW
10 College Hitter Data Sleepers For 2026
Earlier this week, we highlighted 10 notable college hitters with standout data from our ranking of the Top 100 2026 MLB Draft prospects.
Now, Jacob Rudner is back with 10 more hitters, this time focusing on players not ranked but whose college data still suggests the potential for significant upward movement. The list features a mix of Division I transfers, mid-major performers and emerging Power 4 bats whose underlying metrics warrant closer evaluation heading into the spring.
