Where does Tanner Franklin rank in top 150 prospects for 2025 MLB draft?
The 2025 SEC baseball regular season concluded on Saturday.
Ahead of the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Alabama, MLB released its list of the top 150 prospects for the 2025 MLB draft.
Among the prospects, Tennessee right-handed pitcher Tanner Franklin ranks No. 106 overall. He ranks as the No. 22 right-handed pitcher on the prospect list.
"Franklin ranks among the NCAA Division I leaders in overall and in-zone swing-and-miss rate with his fastball, no real surprise considering it operates at 94-98 mph and reaches 102 with huge carry and some armside run," Franklin's scouting profile says. "He also throws one of the hardest cutters in college baseball, averaging 90 mph with a peak of 93, though it doesn't miss nearly as many bats as his heater."
The Jefferson City, Tennessee native played his first two seasons in college at Kennesaw State before returning to Tennessee.
Franklin made 23 regular-season appearances for the Vols in 2025. He pitched 33 innings and totaled 45 strikeouts, while allowing 36 hits, 19 runs and seven walks.

Roman Anthony wasted little time collecting his first major-league hit. The No. 1 prospect in baseball hit a two-run double to left in his first at-bat on Tuesday to give the Boston Red Sox a 2-0 lead over the Tampa Bay Rays. Anthony came to the plate in the bottom of the first with two on and two out against Tampa Bay Rays starter Ryan Pepiot and fell behind 0-2. He took a ball with the next pitch then sliced a changeup outside the zone to left field. His family was in attendance to witness his first hit, and as is customary, the ball was saved. A proud Anthony family moment. 😊 — Red Sox (@RedSox) June 10, 2025 Anthony debuted on Monday, going 0-for-4 with a walk and an RBI groundout.
