But his stock has soared during a strong senior season in Georgia. MLB.com recently listed Horn as the 71st-best player available in the July draft.
MLB.com ranks Horn as the No. 33 pitcher in this year’s draft pool, counting college and high school prospects, and compares his situation to 2021 draft prospect Bubba Chandler, who turned down a football scholarship at Clemson in favor of a $3 million signing bonus with the Pirates as the draft’s No. 72 selection.
From MLB.com’s scouting report on Horn: “Horn shows the potential for three solid or better pitches and could take off if he decides to concentrate on baseball. He sits in the low 90s and touches 95 mph with run and sink on his fastball while featuring little effort in his delivery and plenty of projection remaining in his 6-foot-4 frame. He gets good depth on a 78-82 mph curveball and also shows feel for a fading changeup that he uses sparingly.
“A premium athlete who’s also an interesting if lesser prospect as a shortstop, Horn has clean mechanics and repeats them easily. The consensus is that Chandler had more explosive stuff but Horn is a superior athlete and strike-thrower. He’s also a better quarterback and more committed to football, so it may be difficult to lure him away from the gridiron.”
