While our 2021 Top Prospects list continues to expand and mature, today we take a look even further into the future and the Top 100 prospects in the 2022 class.

We think it’s important to note, while these are based on live looks and discussion with team scouts and industry executives, it is awfully early. Things change. Use this as a preliminary ‘Watch List’ of sorts. It will undoubtedly change.

Preps are at a distinct advantage as things stand today. Our team, having traveled to a handful of showcases this summer, got a good look at a huge number of underclassmen for the 2022 class. Most notably, OF Elijah Green and IF Termarr Johnson stood out in live looks over the warm summer months.

Green is one of the loudest skillsets we have seen in the last few years at minimum. One scout went as far as to say he’s the most physically gifted prep he’s seen in a decade. Johnson has explosive bat speed and twitch at the plate.

On the college side, Alabama LHP Connor Prielipp drew rave reviews on campus this fall and his stuff has continued to take leaps forward. Virginia hurler Nate Savino also received high marks from scouts who saw him live and figures to be a fixture at the top of draft boards in July of 2022.

Of those on our list, Vanderbilt continues to do an extremely impressive job raking in talent. The Commodores have three of the top twelve high school players on our list committed to play in Nashville, Tennessee come 2022. Clemson has also done a fantastic job, wrangling in two of the top twelve.

One macro theme from this class may be its extraordinary potential for big raw power. It’s very, very early, but Green, Nolan Schubart, Nazier Mule, Xavier Isaac, Jared Jones and Slade Wilks could all conceivably be graded as future double-plus power bats.
