49 RHP Christian Little LSU 

Little will be young for the 2023 class having been eligible as a prep in 2021. The top-ranked high school pitcher according to Perfect Game, Little decided to enroll early at Vanderbilt and immediately entered the rotation as a midweek anchor for the Commodores. The fastball can get up into the high-90s, though more comfortably sits in that 92-95 range for now. His heater has a lot of metric traits about it that teams will covet, and his deception forces opposing hitters to chase the pitch out of zone at alarming rates. That said, the next step in his development will be missing more bats in the zone with the pitch. Little has a promising firm curveball with good spin rates, though he'll need to continue refining his ability for consistent shape and command of the pitch. He also shows feel for a changeup that is used almost exclusively to left-handed hitters.

Christian Little, RHP, LSU 

Little spent his first two years at Vanderbilt before transferring to LSU this offseason. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound righty throws a fastball, cutter, slider and changeup from an over-the-top arm slot. 

Little’s fastball sits in the mid-90s, and it plays up due to the deception in his delivery. He has a solid mix of pitches and projects as a long-term starter. He displays respectable command and control of his pitches.

  Matthew Dallas LHP   2-6-23 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td-92ll4  - 86 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more buttery operation in high school ball with long limbs and fantastic body control. It's an over-the-top delivery with ride through the top of the zone and a 12-6 curve he can work into the lower-80s, though it more casually sits in the mid-70s. Dallas has a cutter and a changeup, though both lag behind his two primary weapons and scouts wonder if the latter will be tough to develop given the arm slot. Still, this is what a prototype looks like and the velocity is just around the corner.   10-19-22 - https://www.prospectslive.com/prospects-live/2022/1/15/2023-mlb-draft-prospects-fx4td?s=03  - 81 LHP Matthew Dallas Briarcrest Academy While Dallas doesn't have gasoline velocity just yet, he's got one of the more but...

Good job hitting with 2-strikes and not doing too much. Good bat control to the baseball.   https://t.co/3BYlb2gHRU     10-5-22 - Jupiter Uncommitted Gems: Part 2 -  https://www.perfectgame.org/Articles/View.aspx?article=21312&s=03  -   Eli Ramsey , OF/LHP, Millington, Tenn. Class of 2023 | PG Rank: 500 Wow Factor National   Not many in the country have the two-way talent he employs. The lefty bat shows a really high-level ability to find barrels through the middle of the yard; batting a career .405 through 200 at-bats in perfect game events. He sets up with an open stance that works into a hearty load. There’s violence through the zone with definite power projection. He adds plenty of value on the moun...
