SS Jordan Yost, No. 24 to the Detroit Tigers
A wiry high school shortstop from Florida, Yost is one of the more advanced defenders of any prep infielder, and his bat could break out in a big way if he can pack on some much-needed muscle in pro ball.
SS Brady Ebel, No. 32 to the Milwaukee Brewers
The son of Dodgers third-base coach Dino Ebel and another member of the loaded Corona High School squad that featured top-10 picks Seth Hernandez and Billy Carlson, Ebel was a divisive prospect among scouts, some of whom questioned how much offensive impact he projected to have in the pros. But given his big-league bloodlines and long track record of solid performance on the showcase circuit, it wasn’t a huge surprise to see Ebel selected quite early.
