The College World Series gives MLB fans a chance to watch some of the players that their favorite teams just drafted. As college baseball's best meet in Omaha, Nebraska, here are the college stars who went off the board early in this year's MLB draft, including three first-round picks, two of them taken in the top 10.

Here is a complete schedule of games at the CWS. All times ET. Games on ESPN Networks/WatchESPN.

Players taken in the first 100 picks

JJ Bleday, OF, Vanderbilt
Picked by: Miami Marlins, Round 1, Pick 4
Keith Law rank: 7

Bleday has exceptional hand strength for all-fields power even with a decent-sized hitch in his swing, along with a good eye at the plate and what should be above-average defense in either outfield corner.


Josh Jung, 3B, Texas Tech
Picked by: Texas Rangers, Round 1, Pick 8

Keith Law rank: 18

Jung is a polished hitter with strength but no more than average present power, and I think he has work to do to remain at third base. It seemed a little high for him to go in the top 10, given who was on the board.


Ethan Small, LHP, Mississippi State
Picked by: Milwaukee Brewers, Round 1, Pick 28
Keith Law rank: 50

Small is a redshirt junior who missed 2017 after Tommy John surgery and struck out 44% of the batters he faced as a starter this year for the Bulldogs, even though his velocity hasn't come all the way back post-surgery.


Logan Wyatt, 1B, Louisville
Picked by: San Francisco Giants, Round 2, Pick 51
Keith Law rank: 43

Wyatt has an above-average hit tool that could end up plus, but he doesn't show the game power you want from the position. He looks like an ideal candidate for swing optimization work to get to more power, as he has the size and strength to hit 20-plus homers and already has the other skills you want in a middle-of-the-order bat.


Tommy Henry, LHP, Michigan
Picked by: Arizona Diamondbacks, Round 2, Pick 74
Keith Law rank: 88

Henry was tremendous out of the gate this year, with his fastball ticking up to 91-93 mph, but he got knocked around in conference play, with a staff-worst 6.50 ERA in the Big Ten, as his fastball backed up into the upper-80s. He showed better velocity in the conference tournament and regional and has excellent feel to pitch.


Dominic Fletcher, CF, Arkansas
Picked by: Arizona Diamondbacks, Round 2, Pick 75
Keith Law rank: 79

The D-backs' last pick of Day 1 was Fletcher, who has an unorthodox swing and has shown surprising power along with great instincts in center field.


Isaiah Campbell, RHP, Arkansas
Picked by: Seattle Mariners, Round 2, Pick 76
Keith Law rank: 82

Campbell is a great value play, another strike-thrower with an above-average fastball/slurve combo. He slipped a little because he missed 2017 due to elbow surgery.


Karl Kauffmann, RHP, Michigan
Picked by: Colorado Rockies, Round 2, Pick 77
Keith Law rank: Unranked

The Rockies took Kauffmann, who has too many letters in his last name, with their Comp Round B pick. He works in the low-90s with good sink and a slider that projects to above average, with some reliever risk but enough to go out as a starter.


Drew Mendoza, 3B, Florida State
Picked by: Washington Nationals, Round 3, Pick 94
Keith Law rank: Unranked

The Nationals took Mendoza to start Day 3 of the draft. He has raw power, a long swing, a lot of swing-and-miss and below-average defense at third. He's very famous, having supposedly turned down multimillion dollar offers out of high school, but he struck out 130 times across the past two springs and doesn't make adjustments at the plate.
