Ohio’s high school draft class is highlighted by four standout arms that have been followed all spring. LHP Seth Lonsway (Celina HS, OH) took a step forward this spring and RHP Tyler Brown (Olentangy Orange HS, OH) built on his strong Super 60 outing by continuing to pump gas throughout the season. It remains to be seen if any of the state’s prospects will sign, but they figure to join the pro ranks at some point—either this summer or after college.
