In two seasons at Clemson, Cam Cannarella has delivered at a remarkable .363 pace in 496 at-bats. He doubled 16 times in both 2023 and 2024 and upped his home-run production from seven as a freshman to 11 a season ago. Pettorini did not sacrifice consistency while showing more power as a junior, either, as he more than doubled his home-run production from four to nine, resulting in a jump in slugging percentage from .490 to .506.
Week 1: Feb. 14-16
Max Belyeu, Texas
2024 Freshman All-American Zion Rose made a splash in his first season at Louisville, leading the Cardinals with a .380 average in 166 at-bats and was one of only 46 hitters in all of Div. I baseball with five or more triples.Replays, highlights, and breaking news from the event will be on both platforms.
Colin Brueggemann, OSU
Brueggeman returns to Oklahoma State for his third season with the Cowboys, looking to build off his 14 home runs in 2024 while improving his batting average to a level more in line with his .330 clip in 2023. Six-foot-three Brendan Summerhill leveraged his rangy frame to shine as a prolific hitter for Arizona in 2024. The outfielder garnered All-Pac-12 honors with his .324 average in 238 at-bats, during which he homered eight times, doubled 18, and tripled six.
Cam Cannarella, Clemson
Middle infielder Luke Hill established himself as a dependable batter in his freshman season at Arizona State, hitting .314 for the Sun Devils. He transferred to Ole Miss ahead of the 2024 campaign, and while his average dipped to .291, Hill’s on-base percentage improved from .389 at Arizona State to .404 with the Rebels. Looking to emerge as Oregon State’s premier power hitter with Bazzana’s departure for MLB, Gavin Turley returns from a 2024 season in which he one-dotted and blasted 19 home runs. His 74 RBI set the pace for the Beavers, and his .589 slugging percentage is the best among the team’s returning talent.
Jalin Flores, Texas
If you hear any noise at the opening weekend of the College Baseball Showdown, it’s just Nolan Schubart boppin’. In two seasons at Oklahoma State, Schubart has hit 40 home runs. His 23 a season ago were tied for 23rd-most nationally, and he could be one of the most prolific home-run hitters in all of college baseball in 2025. Flores hit .340 in 241 at-bats last season and knocked out 18 home runs. His .656 slugging percentage was right on Max Belyeu’s tail.
Luke Hill, Ole Miss
Fourth-year veteran infielder and DH Tyler Pettorini has steadily grown as a hitter in his time at Ohio State. After batting .218 as a freshman, his average jumped to .315 in 2023 and remained north of .300 last season. After struggling at the plate in 2023, finishing with a .175 average in 103 at-bats, Jalin Flores established himself as both a reliable overall hitter in 2024 and a dangerous power hitter.
Nolan Schubart, Oklahoma State
Despite losing No. 1 overall MLB draft pick Travis Bazzana, Oregon State has plenty of pop back in 2025.

Most Valuable Player of the 2024 Pac-12 Championship Mason White delivered quite an encore on his Freshman All-America debut in 2023. White ranks among the nation’s top returning home-run hitters, having nearly doubled his output from 10 as a freshman to 19 as a sophomore in 2024. He slugged north of .600 in both seasons. Bowen’s average dipped to .235 in 2024, but he managed to match his home-run production from the season prior with six in both seasons. Should he get his slugging percentage back north of .500 and his OPS closer to 1.000, look out for Bowen in 2025.

Wehiwa Aloy, Arkansas
Rose’s excellent freshman season carried over into summer ball, hitting nearly .300 for Falmouth of the Cape Cod League.

Karson Bowen, TCU
He’s back in 2025, looking to continue his upward trajectory after a nine-home run, 32 RBI campaign. Coupled with the dependable bat of .333 hitter Enzo Apodaca, Baylor features a dangerous combination as the cornerstones of its 2025 lineup. MLB.com’s scouting report of Belyeu describes him as hitting “for average and power while controlling the strike zone and making consistent hard contact.”
Rocco Peppi, Arkansas
Max Belyeu heads into the SEC as the reigning Big 12 Player of the Year. His breakout 2024 season, hitting .329 with 18 home runs garnered the outfielder the conference’s top individual honors and has him positioned as one of the top MLB draft prospects for 2025.

“Prodigious left-handed power is always in demand,” Schubart’s MLB.com prospect profile says. Amen to that. As the only Baylor batter to one-dot over the full 2024 season, Wesley Jordan established himself as the Bears’ most fearsome presence at the plate.
Anthony Silva, TCU
The second weekend, Feb. 28-Mar. 2, at Globe Life Field is called the College Baseball Series. It is streaming on FloCollege and the FloSports app. Cannarella’s impressive offensive repertoire has him tabbed as a top draft prospect in the 2025 class.

Wesley Jordan, Baylor
With improved plate discipline that saw Hill trim his strikeouts from 42 to 27, he returns to Ole Miss another year more experienced and poised for a strong junior season at the dish. Arkansas welcomes Fresno State transfer Rocco Peppi in 2025 after the California native shined in 2024. Peppi hit .327 for the Bulldogs, and doubled his total number of home runs from his previous two college seasons at Long Beach State, from seven to 14.
Dallas Macias, Oregon State

Tyler Pettorini, Ohio State
Featuring some of the nation’s best teams and an abundance of MLB draft prospects, it’s no surprise that the 2025 College Baseball Showdown features many of the game’s premier hitters.Two-way standout Will Rogers brings both a reliable arm to the Michigan pitching rotation and power at the plate as a hitter.
Gavin Turley, Oregon State
In his first two seasons at Auburn, Ike Irish hit .361 and .319 with 20 total home runs, 109 RBI, and slugging percentage of .546 and .627.
