CINCINNATI - Eight different Bearcats were featured in D1Baseball's American Athletic Conference preview which was released earlier this week.

Cincinnati placed two student-athletes in the publication's top-10 AAC prospects for the 2023 MLB Draft with sophomore outfielder Cole Harting (No. 4) and freshman right-handed pitcher Garrett Harker (No. 9) both earning spots on the list.

UC was also well-represented in the AAC prospect ranking for the upcoming 2022 MLB Draft. Right-handed pitcher Chase Hopewell (No. 21); outfielder Paul Komistek (No. 24); infielder Ryan Nicholson (No. 31); catcher Joe Powell (No. 33) and outfielder Griffin Merritt (No. 36) all garnered attention as draft-eligible players this spring.

Finally, a pair of Bearcats underclassmen earned praise as both Garrett Harker (No. 6) and Boston Smith (No. 10) were named impact freshman to watch in 2022.
