On this episode of On the Clock by Just Baseball Media, Jared, Josh and Peyton sit down with Troy catcher Jimmy Janicki, who ranks No. 6 on our 2027 college board. Jimmy talks about his path from the Chicago suburbs to Troy, the no-stride swing change that helped him jump from two home runs as a freshman to 21 this past season, and what it was like to host and win a Super Regional before playing in front of 26,000 fans in Omaha. He explains why he passed on the transfer portal to stay at Troy for his draft year, how he views catching versus third base at the next level, and which big leaguers he studies behind the plate. He also tells us which MLB arm he'd most want to face, the best pitcher he's seen so far, his favorite food spots in Troy, and his surprisingly strong pickleball game.

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.

Shortstop Malachi Butler, a Georgia Tech commit and top prospects for the 2027 MLB Draft, joins On the Clock after a big summer that ended with MVP honors at the PBR All-American Game in Miami. The McEachern High School standout and reigning Cobb County Player of the Year talks about growing up in his dad's training facility watching pro hitters work, what the deep East Cobb talent pool taught him, and how he led McEachern to its first region title in more than a decade. Malachi explains his approach to stealing bases (61 in his high school career so far), why he picked Coach James Ramsey and the Yellow Jackets, and what he's learned about not forcing anything with scouts watching his every move. He also previews representing Team USA in the Dominican Republic this October.

On this episode of On the Clock, Tyler and Peyton sit down with Arizona State outfielder Landon Hairston, one of the top prospects in the 2027 MLB Draft class and a 2026 Golden Spikes Award finalist. Landon opens up about his journey from Casteel High School to Tempe, the jump in competition between high school and Division I pitching, and the swing adjustments that fueled his massive power breakout (28 home runs, 50 extra-base hits) between his freshman and sophomore seasons. He also shares what it's like coming from a baseball family — his father Scott Harrison played several seasons in the big leagues — reflects on representing Team USA in Taiwan and facing top international arms, talks about the addition of transfer Jackson Hotchkiss and Arizona State's stacked 2027 lineup, and opens up about his move from infield to center field. The conversation wraps with a rapid-fire round covering his favorite food spot in Tempe, his most memorable game, his hidden hockey past, his all-time outfield Mount Rushmore, and more.

In this episode of On the Clock, we sit down with Leo Nockley, a 2027 shortstop from Wyoming Seminary Upper School (Mokesbury, PA) and a University of Tennessee commit. Leo breaks down his standout summer on the circuit — East Coast Pro, USA Baseball, the Area Codes, and the L.B. All-American Game at the historic Field of Dreams in Dyersville — and opens up about overcoming size as a 5'8" middle infielder, the mentors and scouts who've shaped his journey, his recruitment to Tennessee under Josh Neilander, and what he's grinding on this offseason ahead of his senior year. Plus, we get into some fun rapid-fire questions, from his Mount Rushmore of shortstops to his 2027 walkout song.

On the Clock kicks off the 2027 MLB Draft cycle interviews with Tennessee two-way standout Blaine Brown, an outfielder and left-handed pitcher who transferred from Rice and has become a key piece of the Volunteers' roster. Blaine opens up about his path through baseball, growing up as the son of former Titans running back Chris Brown, choosing to stay at Tennessee through the coaching transition, and adjusting to the jump from the AAC to the brutal grind of the SEC. He also gets candid about his recent internal brace surgery, what it means for his 2027 season on the mound, and how he's approaching his recovery and hitting-only role this spring. The conversation wraps with a rapid-fire round covering Knoxville food spots, off-field hobbies, his outfielder Mount Rushmore, and the one MLB hitter he'd love to face.

The guys are back for another Modern Era mock draft — this time tackling the ACC! Hosts Mark Garland, Jared Perkins, Will Mossa, and Josh Catlett snake-draft a full 12-man roster (one per position, three outfielders, five pitchers, max four players per school) using any player who suited up in the ACC from 2010 to today, Stanford and Cal included since joining the league.
