Very good point!

I really don't keep up with the prospects so forgive me for my lack of knowledge, but why is Drew Jones not on the top 100 list?

Because his performance has been lacking and injuries piled up

Druw Jones was a classic case of someone who got a ton of hobby love due to name, age and athleticism despite not entirely earning much of the hype.

Being the #2 pick of the draft was the primary reason he got hobby love. The name/dad helped the hype most after that.

I’ve got to say, he performed fairly well last year for a guy that lost 2 seasons to injury essentially. It’ll be interesting to see how he fairs this year.

Jenkins is in the next tier for me. If things go as planned he'll move into the top tier next year.

Have Rocker as my #2 but curious where you have Burns at? I actually had Burns as my #2 pitching prospect in baseball when he was at Wake last year behind Skenes (well 3 if you count Mason Miller as SP prospect) but I am probably higher then most on elite college pitchers with elite stuff. (for example think Burns and Smith are both top 25 MLB starters today if they got the chance)

Since Burns was a draft pick, I have a formula that factors in draft position and signing bonus. Obviously he rates pretty highly being the #2 overall pick with a big bonus, but having not pitched he didn't do anything to raise his stock above that. I've got Rocker as a clear #1, then Schultz, Misiorowski, and Hence in that top tier. Burns would be in the next group, somewhere between 5-11 among pitchers.
