I love college baseball. If you've followed me long enough, you're probably heard me say that the College World Series is my favorite event on the baseball calendar.

I've attended parts of 31 different CWS in Omaha, including 30 championship-determining games and probably close to 300 contests overall. Because the MLB Draft Combine now conflicts with the CWS, I haven't been back to Charles Schwab Field since 2019, something I need to rectify.

I'm excited that the 2024 NCAA Division I season begins Feb. 16, and equally enthused to get to call three games from the Desert Invitational tournament in Arizona with Gregg Caserta and Dan Plesac on MLB Network. To preview the upcoming season, I've assembled my College All-Prospect Team for the 2024 Draft. Looking back at the 2023 version, 10 of the 11 players wound up going in the first round, all of them in the first 19 selections.

Malcolm Moore, C, Stanford: The best of a deep pool of sophomore-eligible prospects, he's easy to dream on with huge raw power and solid arm strength.

Nick Kurtz, 1B, Wake Forest: His combination of hitting ability, power and discipline could allow him to join Spencer Torkelson (2020) as the only college first basemen to go No. 1 overall in 60 Drafts.

Travis Bazzana, 2B, Oregon State: An Australian, he set a school record with 36 steals last spring and won the Cape Cod League batting title (.375) and MVP award during the summer.

Tommy White, 3B, Louisiana State: Tommy Tanks set an NCAA Division I freshman record with 27 homers in 2022, then led D-I with 105 RBIs and played a huge role in LSU's national title last year.

JJ Wetherholt, SS, West Virginia: MLB Pipeline's top-rated Draft prospect, he's the best pure hitter available and won the D-I batting crown (.449) as a sophomore.

Charlie Condon, OF, Georgia: The consensus national freshman of the year in 2023, he batted .386/.484/.800 with 25 homers while displaying an offensive profile similar to Kurtz's.

Vance Honeycutt, OF, North Carolina: He's coming off a rough sophomore season but he's still a potential five-tool center fielder with more physical ability than anyone on this squad.

Seaver King, OF, Wake Forest: A gifted hitter with well above-average speed and plenty of versatility, he fashioned a 47-game hitting streak at NCAA Division II Wingate (N.C). in 2022-23 before switching schools.

Jac Caglianone, 1B/LHP, Florida: Comparing anyone to Shohei Ohtani is ridiculous, so don't go there. But Caglianone is an intriguing two-way talent who topped D-I with 33 homers last year while running his fastball up to 99 mph.

Josh Hartle, LHP, Wake Forest: The most polished pitcher in this college class, he has feel for four quality pitches

Chase Burns, RHP, Wake Forest: Yes, that's four Demon Deacons. A Tennessee transfer, he can reach 102 mph with his fastball and elicited a 61 percent swing-and-miss rate with his slider a year ago.
