Oschell, Santucci Tabbed Perfect Game MLB Draft Prospects
10/24/2023 5:36:00 PM | Baseball
DURHAM – Junior left-handed pitcher Jonathan Santucci and junior right-handed pitcher Fran Oschell III were tabbed as Perfect Game's top-200 MLB Draft Prospects on Monday. Santucci was pegged as the No. 25 prospect in the country, while Oschell III was named as the No. 69 prospect.
Both Santucci and Oschell III were announced as two of the top prospects in D1Baseball's 2024 MLB College Prospects earlier this month.
Santucci, a 6-foot-2 left-handed pitcher, started seven games for the Blue Devils before having his season cut short due to injury. The 2022 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team Camp Invitee posted a 2-2 record on the mound with a 4.30 ERA. He punched out a career-high 11 batters against Wake Forest (3/10) and allowed a season low two hits against North Carolina (3/24). In his first four starts of the year, Santucci tallied 38 strikeouts to just four walks. The two-way player hit his first career home run against Princeton (3/4).
Oschell III, a 6-foot-7 right-handed pitcher, was a member of the 2023 USA Baseball Collegiate National Team and was named an All-American by Perfect Game (2nd team), Baseball America (3rd team) and D1Baseball(3rd team). The Phoenixville, Pa., native posted a perfect 6-0 record out of the bullpen for the Blue Devils in his 22 appearances. He finished the year with a 0.69 ERA, allowing just three earned runs to score. Oschell III concluded the 2023 campaign with 66 strikeouts and held opponents to a .133 average at the plate.
