1. 1B/OF Henry Ford, Virginia
Age: 20

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 220 lbs

Bats/Throws: R/R

Henry Ford is all about contributing at the plate. In his first D1 season, Ford hit 17 homers to go along with a 1.006 OPS. The stellar season at the dish earned him first-team freshman All-American honors. Ford continued raking this past season with a career-best .362 batting average, while knocking in 46 runs in 50 games.

After two seasons at Virginia, Ford seeks a new home as he chases his MLB dreams.
5. RHP Ethan McElvain, Vanderbilt
Age: 20

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 238 lbs

Bats/Throws: S/L

Ethan McElvain showed promise in his freshman campaign at Vanderbilt. The big lefty struck out 29 in 25 innings on his way to a 3.24 ERA as both a starter and reliever. He struggled to a 7.24 ERA in 27.1 innings this season, but continued to show major swing-and-miss stuff. McElvain had 45 strikeouts in his 16 appearances, and if he can learn some control, he'll be a solid contributor for his next team.

4. SS Chris Hacopian, Maryland
Age: 20

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 205 lbs

Bats/Throws: R/R

Chris Hacopian was a key cog in Maryland's offense in 2025. The 20-year-old shortstop led the team with a .375 batting average and was second on the Terps with 61 RBI in 52 games. Hacopian's .502 OBP had him knocking on the door of the top 25 in all of D1 baseball this season. Couple that with his 40 walks, and it's easy to see the two-time All-Big Ten second team member will bring a great eye to his next stop.

3. SS Eric Becker, Virginia
Age: 20

Height: 6'3"

Weight: 190 lbs

Bats/Throws: L/R

Eric Becker did his part to power Virginia's top 25 offense. The 20-year-old hit .368 for a Cavaliers team that sported a .309 club batting average in 2025. Becker is primarily a shortstop but can also play second and third base.

After two years at Virginia, where he averaged more than an RBI per game, Becker enters the portal, looking for a new team.
2. OF Ryan Wideman, Western Kentucky
Age: 21

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 204 lbs

Bats/Throws: R/R

Ryan Wideman has shown his speed and aggressiveness at the plate since high school. Wideman took Conference USA Player of the Year honors after becoming the first D1 player with 35 extra-base hits and 45 steals in the same season in almost 25 years. Oh ya, he also nearly hit .400.

The big outfielder has shown a propensity to chase pitches, which he'll have to work on with his new college team if he's not drafted.
