Top 50 2027 MLB Draft College Board Released! | On The Clock

On this episode of On the Clock, Tyler Jennings, Josh Catlett and Peyton Sower break down the first college board of the 2027 MLB Draft cycle, our Top 50 college prospects. We go through the board ten picks at a time and cover why Mississippi State's rotation might be the best in the country, whether Dax Whitney can still go 1-1 coming off Tommy John, and the case for Gavin Kelly as a one-of-a-kind draft prospect. We also get into Ethan Lund's sky-high ceiling, Nate Savoie's batted-ball numbers next to Tague Davis's, why Teg isn't higher on the board, and our favorite under-the-radar names like Derek Pitts, Mason McCraine and Boston Kellner. We close with a few players who could crash the board this spring and what's ahead with the prep board, WWBA Jupiter and fall ball coverage.
