Calling Hurston Waldrep and “under the radar prospect” might not be fair; he’s a first round pick from an SEC program, he was the 19th ranked prospect by MLB.com going into the 2023 draft, and he showed out on a big stage for Florida in the 2023 men’s College World Series.

However, in an age of Skenes-mania, Waldrep hasn’t been talked about as much as he might normally. He was the 5th pitcher taken in the draft, and Fangraphs’ write-up and future grade of 50 are positive, but hesitant. I don’t think that’s enough hype for a guy that truly could be one of the most interesting pitchers in baseball, and soon.
