Tyler Jennings and Conor Dorney sit down with Prep Baseball Report's VP of Scouting, Shooter Hunt, for one of the best conversations of the entire draft cycle. Shooter breaks down what it was like being drafted twice, how player development has evolved over the last 20 years, and why today's prep players are simply better than any previous generation. The crew digs into the top prep arms in the 2026 class, including Carson Bolemon, Gio Rojas, Bo Holloway, Coleman Borthwick, and Cole Koeninger, before turning to the state of the draft, the looming CBA proposals, NIL's impact on prep decision-making, and an early look at the 2027 class headlined. On the Clock is presented by Just Baseball.
