At this point I don't think its crazy to say Craig Yoho is the best reliever in the entire MiLB.
Yoho was an 8th round pick by the Brewers in 2023 where he signed for just $10,000. At Indiana he posted a 3.41 ERA in 37 IP with 63 SO - 19 BB in his senior season.
So far in his
The Reds have signed St. Thomas (NAIA) pitcher Juan Polo. Originally a Royals international signee in 2019, Polo posted a 7.53 ERA with 21 SO through 14 IP in the DSL.
After being cut by the Royals, Polo opted to play JUCO at Clarendon where he threw 60.1 innings striking out

Elijah Pleasants picks up the W in his

debut.
3.0 IP - 1 ER - 0 BB - 5K
He threw a 3 pitch mix of FB/CH/SL with his fastball consistently sitting 91-93 throughout the entire outing. His SL stole the show racking up plenty of whiffs with great movement.

Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang is quickly becoming my favorite pitching prospect.
The 23 year old signed out of Taiwan in 2021 for around $500K. In 2022 Zhuang threw 42 IP with a 4.71 ERA and 43 SO - 9 BB.
After missing the 2023 season due to injury, Zhuang is off to a hot start in 2024

Though I think he will get buried by emerging talent in Tyler Black, Eric Brown Jr, and Brice Turang, Monasterio played a crucial role for the Brewers season.

Cole Hill (
@dmb_cole15
) should be getting a lot of late round draft attention in my opinion.
The SR. from SFA ranks in the 90th percentile for Barrel% and 90th-EV paired with an elite approach featuring 87th percentile Z-Contact & 80th percentile O-Swing%.
Perfect mix of gap

)
Baez mainly throws a 3 pitch mix of FB/CH/CU with his CH being the outlier. His CH generates a ton of whiff in and below the zone, deeming it nearly unhittable.
Baez is currently 2-0 this year against top 10 NAIA opponents (LSU

With the 2024 MLB draft starting today, here are two JUCO bats I suspect are a lock to be taken on day 2 or 3.
1: Richard Bonomolo Jr. - Wabash Valley (Alabama Commit)
Bonomolo is a perfect blend of power and speed shown in his 30 XBH and 52 stolen bases at Wabash this season.
Looks like Jeremiah Jenkins (Maine) has made some swing adjustments this season. A more hunched over approach with his hands ready and out.
After a rough summer stint in the NECL where he was often late to fastballs, these changes are extremely encouraging.

A lot to like from Alex Iadisernia in his first full season.
A legitimate power-speed bat, Iandisernia had 45 XBH paired with 25 SB in 2023. With EV's maxing at 110 MPH in Single-A and Contact%'s in the 80s there are no blatant flaws to his approach. He doesn't chase any
