"Roch Cholowsky still sits at No. 1 overall as the UCLA shortstop is mashing this spring with a .338 average and 21 home run odds. Jackson Flora, who has been unhittable at UC Santa Barbara, is the first pitcher taken at No. 5. Flora is 9-0 with a 1.15 ERA. He has 103 strikeouts in 78.1 innings as he has flashed electric stuff this spring. Gio Rojas, the top high school pitcher, makes a leap into the top 10 as he has enjoyed a great spring."
"Outfield Eric Booth Jr. is getting all sorts of buzz this spring and for good reason. The dude has elite speed, and he's polished up his swing. His combination of athleticism and potential tools has scouts pushing him into the top 10 in this year's draft. He runs a 6.3 in the 60-yard dash and has exit velocities that point toward him being a 25-home run player at the next level. A Vanderbilt commit, Booth Jr. gets good reads in the outfield and has improved his routes."
"High school lefty Gio Rojas has been drawing all sorts of interest this spring, especially from the Kansas City Royals. KC looks like they are in the mix for a high school arm, and they love Rojas' arm speed and the potential of a plus breaking ball. Rojas can run his fastball up to 98 miles per hour, and it has outstanding life. He is committed to Miami, and the lefty commands both sides of the plate. A likely reason he could find himself in the top 10 in July."
The 2026 MLB mock draft for mid-May places UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky at No. 1 overall after a strong spring with a .338 batting average and 21 home run odds. The first pitcher is projected at No. 5, with UC Santa Barbara right-hander Jackson Flora posting a 9-0 record, a 1.15 ERA, and 103 strikeouts in 78.1 innings. High school pitcher Gio Rojas is projected to rise into the top 10, driven by interest from the Kansas City Royals, fastball velocity up to 98 mph, and a potential plus breaking ball. Outfielder Eric Booth Jr. is projected to climb into the top 10 due to elite speed, improved swing, and power projections.
