There was little time for 2020 MLB draft prospects to impress during the shortened college baseball season, but a few players were able to take advantage of the opportunity.
Ohio State catcher Dillon Dingler stood out during his team's 13 regular-season games, which in turn placed him higher on draft boards.
Bryce Jarvis of Duke and Texas Tech's Clayton Beeter used their four starts on the mound to showcase to MLB personnel that they improved their velocity and could be worthy of first-round selections.
The improvements made during the brief 2020 campaign could place these prospects higher in the first round than expected, which may allow teams to sign them beneath the allotted signing money for that pick and use more cash on other selections.
