On this episode of On the Clock by Just Baseball Media, Jared, Josh and Peyton sit down with Troy catcher Jimmy Janicki, who ranks No. 6 on our 2027 college board. Jimmy talks about his path from the Chicago suburbs to Troy, the no-stride swing change that helped him jump from two home runs as a freshman to 21 this past season, and what it was like to host and win a Super Regional before playing in front of 26,000 fans in Omaha. He explains why he passed on the transfer portal to stay at Troy for his draft year, how he views catching versus third base at the next level, and which big leaguers he studies behind the plate. He also tells us which MLB arm he'd most want to face, the best pitcher he's seen so far, his favorite food spots in Troy, and his surprisingly strong pickleball game.

On this episode of On the Clock, Tyler Jennings, Josh Catlett and Peyton Sower break down the first college board of the 2027 MLB Draft cycle, our Top 50 college prospects. We go through the board ten picks at a time and cover why Mississippi State's rotation might be the best in the country, whether Dax Whitney can still go 1-1 coming off Tommy John, and the case for Gavin Kelly as a one-of-a-kind draft prospect. We also get into Ethan Lund's sky-high ceiling, Nate Savoie's batted-ball numbers next to Tague Davis's, why Teg isn't higher on the board, and our favorite under-the-radar names like Derek Pitts, Mason McCraine and Boston Kellner. We close with a few players who could crash the board this spring and what's ahead with the prep board, WWBA Jupiter and fall ball coverage.

The College Baseball Show's preseason draft series continues with the Big 12. Mark, Jared, Josh, and Will each build a full roster from players who suited up for Big 12 programs from 2010 to today, with one player per position, a utility/DH spot, three outfielders, five pitchers, and a five-player cap per school. The picks cover TCU's loaded 2014 pitching staff, Golden Spikes winner Ivan Melendez, national pitchers of the year Jon Gray and Steven Gingery, and recent stars like Landon Harrison, Carson Benge, and Kerrington Cross. Along the way there are position-flex maneuvers, a middle infield run that wipes out everyone's board, and the snubs that never came off it. Which roster is the best? Let us know in the comments.
