Coming into 2018, scouts were divided as to which of Wichita State's two potential first-round position players was better. Greyson Jenista has more all-around ability and won the Cape Cod League MVP award last summer, but Bohm posted better numbers there and does a better job of tapping into his considerable power potential. Bohm easily settled the argument with a superior junior season, thrusting himself into consideration as a top-five-overall pick.

Bohm manages the strike zone very well and makes consistent hard contact from the right side of the plate. He doesn't strike out as much as Jenista, has an edge in bat speed and his stroke is more geared to generate power at this point. He understands that he doesn't have to sell out to hit home runs, so he doesn't.

Bohm doesn't offer much when he's outside of the batter's box, however. Though he has worked diligently to improve at third base, he lacks quickness and range, his hands are just fair and his arm is only average. He'll probably wind up at first base but has the offensive upside to profile there.

Over the years, Cal State Fullerton has been a veritable factory producing right-handers who really know how to pitch and compete without premium stuff. In 2015, Tom Eshelman went in the second round to the Astros. Two years later, the Phillies took Connor Seabold in the third round. This year, it's Colton Eastman's turn and he's hoping to join his predecessors in the top three rounds.

The 6-foot-3 right-hander has been a solid college performer, with a highlight being throwing Fullerton's fifth no-hittter in history in late March. As a freshman, he was touching 94 mph with his fastball, but hasn't gotten back there since, typically sitting in the 89-92 mph range. Early this season, Eastman used a plus changeup with tremendous success and showed a below-average breaking ball. Over the course of the spring, his curve has bounced back and flashes above-average, but his changeup has regressed. He's a strike-thrower, but not quite with the precision Eshelman or Seabold showed during their days anchoring the Titans rotation.

Eastman missed a good chunk of his sophomore season with elbow inflammation and has not pitched over the summer in either of the past two years. He's shown no ill effects this year, though, and a team that believes he could have two above-average secondary offerings to go along with his feel for pitching could snag him early as a back-end starter type who could move quickly.

Vierling hit .310 with a .402 on-base percentage and .505 slugging percentage for Notre Dame this season, while tying for the team lead with 10 home runs. The 6-foot-2 junior -- who was drafted by the Cardinals in the 30th round in 2015 before attending school -- is an athletic center fielder with above-average speed. He's also pitched at times, with a 90-to-93 mph fastball and high-80s cutter as a righty on the mound.
