ESPN did a top 150 prospects rankings yesterday: Updated 2025 MLB draft rankings: Top 150 prospects -- and a mini-mock draft

47. Alec Blair (18.7), CF, De La Salle HS (CA), Oklahoma commit


Probably can count on him not stepping foot on campus.

It mentions that he may be signable for the right price -- lots of times, teams will pay over slot value for a second or third round guy if they decide to save a little money on their top pick. If a team really likes him, and knows he might require more money to bypass college, they could go that route.

Correct, Last year the second round signing bonus ranged 1.12m to 3.8m. Third round ranged from 620k to 2.5m, Obviously high school kids are at the top of those ranges, college guys are the ones signing for less. Some of the high school kids are signing for double what there slot value says.

OU baseball functioned this last off season with 500k ish, Don't see Porter parting with much cash if the kids a better baseball prospect. Idk, right now I lean him signing.

as of last month he said in an interview that he was going to school to play bball and baseball .. so we shall see ..

clearly there would be some dollar value where he would be dumb to not turn pro ..


I guess we won't know for sure until july ..

I don’t put much stock in what he says. He obviously is trying to increase his leverage. If he were to say that he is leaning toward signing, it hurts his bargaining power.

Are you saying OU baseball spent $500k total?

Because I know some of the pitchers and Carmichael got more than that. Way more than that, combined.

Teams like the Pirates are big on paying over slot for 2-4 round guys and drafting guys in the 1st that they can sign under slot.
