On this episode of On the Clock, Tyler, Josh, and Peyton break down Just Baseball’s new Top 50 Prep board for the 2027 MLB Draft. The class is defined by an elite shortstop crop, with seven in the top 10 led by Dylan Seward, Carter Hadnot, Malachi Butler, Graham Houston, and Sebastian Castillo, and nearly all of them carry strong gloves. The crew debates whether the right-handed-heavy pitching group is a strength, how the class compares to 2023, 2024, and 2025, and whether Seward looks more like JoJo Parker or Grady Emerson. Each host then makes his standout picks. They close with sleepers who didn’t make the board.

Missouri State head coach Joey Hawkins joins Mark Garland and Jared Perkins on Coach’s Corner to talk about leading his alma mater into the 2027 season. Coming off a 34-21 year and a trip to the Lawrence Regional, Hawkins shares his path from Toronto to Springfield: playing on the Bears’ 2015 super regional team, starting out in junior college coaching, working at Saint Louis University and in the St. Louis Cardinals’ player development system, and becoming just the third head coach in program history. He explains how he blends the legacy of Keith Guttin with the realities of the modern game, how a leadership council inspired by Mike Matheny helps develop the next wave of team leaders, and why “togetherness and identity” set teams apart in the transfer portal era. Hawkins also discusses the depth of Conference USA, the home-field edge at Hammons Field, new facility investments, and what could be the most talented roster in Missouri State history. Stick around for the fun questions, including his dream team to coach, his game-day rituals, and his favorite baseball memory.

The College Baseball Show wraps up its offseason draft series with the biggest pool yet: the best mid-major (non-Power 5) players from 2010 to today. Mark, Josh, Will, and Jared snake-draft full rosters, with one player at every position plus a DH, a utility spot, an extra infielder, and eight pitchers each. Only D1 stats from a player’s time at a mid-major count. From Golden Spikes winners like Kris Bryant and Kyle Lewis to aces like Chris Sale, Paul Skenes, Trey Yesavage, and Jackson Flora, the board is so deep that nearly every pick gets a nod of approval. That makes the Payton Tolle “utility” pick and the long list of All-Americans who went undrafted even more fun. Watch, then vote for which team won the mid-major draft!

On this episode of Coach’s Corner on The College Baseball Show, Jared and Mark sit down with Little Rock head coach Chris Curry, fresh off back-to-back Ohio Valley Conference tournament titles, a Baton Rouge Regional run, and a Hattiesburg Regional sweep that sent the Trojans to their first super regional. Coach Curry talks about bringing in 23 newcomers with his “junior college blueprint” and building culture through returners like Tag Andrews, Blake Simpson, Nolan Freund and Kade Smith. He also explains why Little Rock schedules Arkansas, Mississippi State and Dallas Baptist in the fall, which new faces have stood out (Cooper Rasmussen, Dylan Biddick and GT Taylor), and why he thinks a mid-major is just “18 innings away from Omaha.” Along the way, he shares lessons from mentors, his goal of hosting a regional in Little Rock, and the night against LSU when he knew his program would never be viewed the same. He also explains why a Waffle House All-Star Breakfast is the perfect way to celebrate a win.

Tennessee catcher Trent Grindlinger joins On the Clock, presented by The College Baseball Show and Just Baseball, to talk about his breakout freshman season (.345/.414/.572 with 8 home runs and 29 RBIs, earning SEC All-Freshman honors) and what’s ahead for the Vols in 2027. The Huntington Beach, California native explains why he chose Tennessee and the SEC, how head coach Josh Elander’s hitting prep builds confidence before every at-bat, and his offseason focus on proving he can catch every day. He also breaks down a loaded pitching staff full of high-velocity freshmen and transfers, the electric Friday night atmosphere at Lindsey Nelson Stadium, the hitters he models his swing after (Mike Trout and Junior Caminero), and why he believes this veteran-heavy Tennessee roster has what it takes to get back to Omaha and win it all.

The College Baseball Show crew (Mark, Josh, Jared, and Will) is back with another preseason all-era draft, this time covering the Big Ten from 2010 to today. With a snake draft, a full lineup to fill (catcher, all four infield spots, three outfielders, a utility player, and five pitchers), and a five-player limit per school, the guys debate the conference’s best of the modern era. Highlights include the race for Roch Cholowsky and Matt Shaw at the top, Kyle Schwarber and Alex Dickerson representing Indiana, an all-Maryland infield, a run on recent UCLA, Oregon, and Nebraska stars, a challenge flag, and plenty of deliberation over picks. They also argue that the Big Ten is at its peak right now, name the biggest snubs, and preview the upcoming mid-major draft. Brought to you by Just Baseball Media.

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.
