Welcome back to our weekly draft breakdowns! This week, we’ll preview the top of the high school pitching class in a year that’s relatively deep. The M’s are yet to take a prep pitcher in the first round under the Jerry Dipoto regime, however there has been plenty of smoke around the M’s having interest in this year’s crop. While there’s always a lot of risk associated with a high school pitcher, there’s plenty of upside to be had in this year’s draft and should yield plenty of future big league starters.
Cam Caminiti
Caminiti, the younger cousin of the recently passed Ken Caminiti, is garnering much of the headlines as the top prep pitcher in the 2024 draft.
