College Daily Sheet: Sunday 03/23/25 - Georgia’s Big Bats Gator-Roll Florida in Gainesville
The Draft Team recaps an eventful Sunday afternoon slate, where key draft prospects and rising college stars closed out their weekends with statement performances.
I've been following prospects for over 20 years and seen greats like Ryan Howard, Clayton Kershaw, Bobby Witt Jr., and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. play Milb. I cover the High A Midwest League and the SEC.
Sunday’s college baseball slate closed the weekend with a flurry of standout performances, especially from big bats and breakout arms across key matchups. Max Belyeu delivered a statement game with a home run and triple to cap off a massive series win, while Christian Adams and Ryland Zaborowski continued their tear through opposing pitching with multi-hit, multi-RBI days. On the mound, Cam Bragwell etched his name into history with a perfect game, and Justin Thorsteinson was dominant in a one-hit, 11-strikeout showing. Gable Mitchell and Easton Richter powered their teams to convincing victories with clutch swings, while Harrison Bowman and Carson Paetow fueled offensive explosions with long balls of their own. With conference races tightening and draft boards evolving, Sunday proved pivotal in shaping both team momentum and individual stock.
Below are Sunday's Top Performers!

Max Belyeu, OF, Texas - 4 AB, 1 R, 2 H, 4 RBI, 1 HR, 0 BB, 0 K
Belyeu is one of the top college outfielders in this year’s draft class and has been off to a solid start, posting a .341/.446/.565 slash line through the early portion of the season. While he hasn’t yet shown the same level of power he displayed a year ago, he delivered a massive performance in a marquee matchup on Sunday, helping Texas clinch the series against LSU.
He went 2-for-4 with a triple, a home run, a run scored, and four RBIs in the victory. In his first at-bat, Belyeu set the tone with a nine-pitch battle, fouling off four pitches before grounding out to second, advancing the leadoff runner, who would later score to give Texas a 1–0 lead. A small moment, but a perfect example of the little things that help teams win.
In his second at-bat, with one out and runners on the corners, Belyeu lined an 0–2 pitch hard down the third base line, only to be robbed of extra bases by a diving stop from the LSU third baseman, but he still collected an RBI.
Then came the statement swing. In the bottom of the fourth, Belyeu jumped on a first-pitch 96 mph fastball, driving it 403 feet to right field for a two-run home run with a 107 mph exit velocity, giving Texas a commanding 5–0 lead. He wasn’t done—later in the game, he ripped a 3-1, 97 mph fastball into left field for an RBI triple, showing off both his bat speed and ability to handle high-end velocity.
Sunday's outing was the kind of performance that reaffirms Belyeu’s stock as a potential first-half-of-the-first-round pick. He showed a mature approach, elite bat speed, and impact at the plate, all while doing the little things that win ballgames. If the power continues to trend upward in conference play, he’ll solidify himself as one of the most complete outfielders in the class.
The New Mexico Junior College product out of Australia continues to produce at a high level in his first season in the SEC, entering Sunday’s contest with a .362/.543/.797 slash line, eight home runs, and more walks than strikeouts through his first 24 games, an overall impressive display of both power and plate discipline.
In Sunday's contest, in the top of the fifth inning, with the score tied at 2, Iredale nearly launched an opposite-field grand slam to right field, but the ball fell just short of the wall. Still, it was plenty deep to bring home the go-ahead run on a sacrifice fly, putting Arkansas up 3–2.
He didn’t miss the next time. In his final at-bat, Iredale jumped on the first pitch of the plate appearance, an 82 mph slider away, and this time didn't miss his opposite-field grand slam. The ball left the bat at 97 mph and traveled 344 feet for his ninth home run of the year.
With tremendous bat speed, plus raw power, and a refined approach, Iredale continues to solidify himself as one of the most complete right-handed bats in the college class. If he keeps this pace, he’ll be in serious consideration in the first few rounds coming off the board this summer.
