Draft Podcast: The Case For No. 1

About this episode

JJ Cooper and Carlos Collazo make the 1-1 case for each of the top three players in the 2026 draft class.

Which is most compelling to you: The proven college shortstop with big tools? The outlier catcher athlete with a huge power surge this spring? Or the impeccable pure-hitting prep shortstop with a lefthanded swing to dream on?
