Sophomore infielder Noah Sheffield is batting .667 with six runs scored, and junior shortstop Cal Fisher has seven RBI. Redshirt sophomore Brody DeLamielleure leads the team with two home runs. On the mound, junior left-hander Wes Mendes has a 0.00 ERA with seven strikeouts in five innings.

Here are the best MLB Draft prospects on Florida State this year at Amegy Bank College Baseball Series.

Trey Beard, LHP, Florida State Baseball

Trey Beard, a 6-foot-3, 180-pound left-hander, transferred to Florida State after a dominant 2025 season at Florida Atlantic. He posted a 3.14 ERA in 86 innings with 118 strikeouts and a 34.4% strikeout rate. 

Beard throws from an over-the-top slot with a deceptive release, featuring a low-90s fastball, a plus mid-70s changeup and two distinct breaking balls that generate swing-and-miss.

Myles Bailey, 1B, Florida State Baseball

Myles Bailey, a 6-foot-4, 235-pound first baseman at Florida State, brings some of the biggest raw power in the 2026 class. A 20th-round pick of the White Sox in 2024, Bailey launched 19 home runs as a freshman and posted elite exit velocities. 

His steep, power-driven swing produces tape-measure shots but also led to a 31% strikeout rate. He profiles as a bat-first prospect at first base.

Wes Mendes, LHP, Florida State Baseball

Wes Mendes, a 6-foot-1, 190-pound left-hander, transferred to Florida State after beginning his career at Ole Miss. Now a full-time starter, he owns a 5.91 ERA over 109 2/3 innings with a 26.9% strikeout rate. 

Mendes features a low-90s fastball that plays up in the zone, a gyro slider and a high-70s changeup that flashes plus and generates strong swing-and-miss rates.

Hunter Carns, C, Florida State Baseball

Hunter Carns, a 6-foot, 195-pound catcher at Florida State, is a draft-eligible sophomore and former 20th-round pick of the Diamondbacks. He hit .286/.379/.481 as a freshman in 2025 and followed with a strong showing in the Cape Cod League. 

Carns offers notable bat speed and pull-side power, though his contact against secondary pitches needs refinement. He has drawn positive reviews for his defensive development behind the plate.

Brayden Dowd, OF, Florida State Baseball

Brayden Dowd, a 5-foot-10, 180-pound outfielder, transferred to Florida State after two productive seasons at Southern California. A left-handed hitter, he batted .324/.429/.476 with strong plate discipline and immediate impact as a freshman. 

Dowd shows pull-side pop against fastballs and has experience in both center and right field entering the 2026 season.
