There has been very little change at the top since our last ranking of the 2025 college draft prospects in July. The top three spots remain unchanged with Jace LaViolette (Texas A&M), Tyler Bremner (UC Santa Barbara) and Jamie Arnold (Florida State) at 1-2-3.
Directly behind that trio we line up a handful of impact bats with the dynamic Cam Cannarrela (Clemson) at No. 4, soph-eligible Luke Stevenson (North Carolina) at No. 5, mega-riser Aiva Arquette (Oregon State) No. 6, Tennessee’s Dean Curley at No. 7 and Auburn slugger Ike Irish No. 8.
A summer turned fall riser sits at No. 9 in Oklahoma’s Kyson Witherspoon. The power righthander began his summer in impressive fashion at the USA CNT Trials and continued his ascent with a superior fall season. He was consistently up to 98 with his fastball and showed a plus slider. He also repeatedly found the zone with an above-average Major League quality changeup.
Rounding out the top 10 is Ethan Petry, who tore up the Cape Cod League this summer with a .360/.480/.760 slash and 11 home runs in 100 at-bats. He’s also belted 44 home runs in his two-year Gamecock career to date.
LaViolette, Cannarella and Petry lead an elite class of outfielders, the top strength of the 2025 college draft class. Outfielders occupy spots No. 10 through No. 13 and 10 of the top 20 in our prospect rankings. Petry is No. 10, but not after lengthy discussions and comparisons to Indiana’s Devin Taylor (No. 11), Georgia’s Tre Phelps (12) and Arizona’s Brendan Summerhill (13). No. 15 Max Belyeu (Texas), No. 17 Henry Ford (Virginia), No. 19 Nick Dumesnil (Cal Baptist) and No. 20 Nolan Schubart (Oklahoma State) complete our list of top 20 outfielders.
In comparison to the 2024 college draft class, the 2025 class is greatly lacking in two-way talent. There is not a prospect close to the caliber of Jac Caglianone or Carson Benge, but the best at this point is a former Gator, Chris Arroyo (Virginia), who like Cags is a lefty pitcher and power-hitting first baseman.
Speaking of Florida and Virginia, they both place six prospects in our Top 150, which ranks sixth, behind LSU (9), Tennessee and Arkansas (8 apiece), Oklahoma and Wake Forest (7 apiece).
