Power hitting shortstops are the thoroughbreds of baseball prospects. Highly sought after and also saddled with an inherent risk that physical development may obscure their highly valuable profile, the rare few prospects who come out the other side as big league shortstops who have home run power are some of the most valuable assets a Major League organization can posses.

With this in mind, it is a near certainty that if Josh Morgan is interested in beginning his professional baseball career this summer, rather than joining the defending national champions at UCLA, he will be selected in the top three rounds.

MLB Draft Board Update: Top 400
The 2024 MLB Draft doesn’t happen for another three months, but it has already drawn a reputation for being a bit light in terms of overall talent compared to years past. The truth is we’re not going to know that answer for at least another five years or so but there are strengths to this class particularly at the top of the draft.
