Episode 202: High School Summer Standouts

After a few weeks off, Ben and Carlos reconvene to talk about the state of the 2027 high school draft class. How are we viewing the class with the bulk of the summer showcase circuit behind us, and who are the players who have stood out and improved their stock? Has No. 1 prospect Dylan Seward lived up to expectations? What’s the value of All-America games in 2026? And did we see anything close to this kind of performance coming with Pete Crow-Armstrong?—Time Stamps: (0:00) Intro/Banter(5:00) Thoughts on the 2027 class(12:30) Malachi Butler(18:00) The depth of HS shortstops(20:00) Dylan Seward’s summer(28:30) Leo Nockley & Max Hemenway(33:00) Drake Hawpe(37:30) Chase Fuller(44:00) George Ferguson(51:00) Lubin Rincon(53:40) How much importance is there for All-American games?(1:03:00) Pete Crow-Armstrong —Do you have feedback for the show or want to ask us a question?
