Tyler Jennings and Conor Dorney sit down with Prep Baseball Report's VP of Scouting, Shooter Hunt, for one of the best conversations of the entire draft cycle.

The crew digs into the top prep arms in the 2026 class, including Carson Bolemon, Gio Rojas, Bo Holloway, Coleman Borthwick, and Cole Koeninger, before turning to the state of the draft, the looming CBA proposals, NIL's impact on prep decision-making, and an early look at the 2027 class headlined. On the Clock is presented by Just Baseball.

USC left-hander Mason Edwards joins Connor Dorney live at the 2026 MLB Draft Combine to talk about his journey from spot reliever to Friday night starter, including the mindset shift that helped him reel off a 29⅔ scoreless inning streak to open the season. Mason breaks down the mechanical and pitch design changes, particularly the development of his curveball and lower half engagement, that fueled his breakout year, what it was like navigating the Pac-12 to Big Ten transition at USC, and why he thinks there's more velocity in the tank down the road. On the Clock is presented by Just Baseball.
