What happened: On MLB Network, Mark DeRosa praised Jacob Lombard, the draft class's No. 4 prospect, after watching him take batting practice alongside established stars Bobby Witt and Gunnar Henderson. DeRosa said you could still tell the big leaguers apart, but the gap was "not far off."

Why it matters: The comparison sets a high ceiling for a top-of-the-board prospect heading into the draft, framing his bat as already near major-league caliber. Measuring a teenager against two of the game's premier young shortstops signals the kind of upside that drives early first-round selection.

What to watch: Watch where Lombard lands as the draft approaches and whether his early-round stock holds against the rest of the class.
