2015 MLB Draft: Future MLB Stars Still Available After Day 1

Day 1 of the 2015 MLB Draft has come and gone, but there are still plenty of talented youngsters with bright futures available. 

Rounds 3-10 will take place Tuesday beginning at 1 p.m. ET. While players selected in the first round often attract more of the spotlight, teams manage to find diamonds in the rough on Day 2 every year. 

As for the 2015 draft, pitchers like Justin Hooper, Donny Everett and Michael Matuella have the stuff to become above-average major league hurlers. At the dish, keep an eye on players such as Luken Baker and Alonzo Jones, who possess star potential for their future teams. 

Let's take a look at some of the players still available who will be difference-makers down the line for their respective teams. 

Alonzo Jones, SS, Columbus HS (Georgia)

Alonzo Jones is a high school shortstop from Georgia who can flat-out run. 

MLB.com ranks Jones' speed as an 80 on the 20-80 scouting scale. The Vanderbilt commit uses his speed to apply pressure on opposing defenses. 

"Jones' top-of-the-line speed helps him beat out grounders for base hits, wreak havoc on the bases and cover plenty of ground in the field," said MLB.com's 2015 Prospect Watch. 

Most speedy hitters lack pop, but Jones has the ability to drive the ball into the gaps. He's not going to hit tons of homers, but he could become an extra-base hit machine as he develops into his body. 

Defensively, scouts aren't sold on his ability to stay at shortstop, which may have caused him to drop further than some of his fellow shortstops in the draft. However, his quickness and above-average reactions should allow him to transition to another position if need be. 

Despite those concerns, Jones can fly, and that's something that can't be taught. If his swing continues to develop, Jones could turn into a dangerous MLB table-setter. 

Donny Everett, RHP, Clarksville HS (Tennessee)

Right-handed pitcher Donny Everett is the highest-rated player on MLB.com's Top 200 Players to not be drafted. 

The Tennessee high-schooler is your typical high-risk, high-reward prep hurler.

Everett's fastball is fantastic, as it flirts with triple digits frequently. The Vanderbilt commit combines his heater with an above-average slider that MLB.com believes "shows flashes of becoming a solid pitch when he doesn't overthrow it." 

Everett's biggest issue is his command, which can come and go due to a jerky delivery to the plate. Most organizations look for smooth, repeatable deliveries when drafting pitchers, which could be a big reason why he is still on the board. 

Despite the risk, Everett's arm talent is unquestioned. Vanderbilt has become a haven for major league starting pitchers in recent years, indicating that he has what it takes to succeed in the pros. 

Sign-ability may become an issue as the draft progresses, but whichever team takes Everett will be snagging a pitcher with as much upside as any prospect still available. 

Luken Baker, RHP/1B, Oak Ridge HS (Texas)

Luken Baker hasn't decided what position he'll play as a professional, which makes him all the more unique. 

Baker burst onto the scene while showcasing his prodigious power at the Junior Home Run Derby and a home run competition at the Under Armour All-America Game. MLB.com gave Baker a 60 power rating on the 20-80 scale, which suggests his raw pop is his top quality. 

As impressive as Baker can be at the plate, he's equally explosive on the mound. 

The Texas high-schooler already touts two plus pitches. His fastball sits in the mid-90s, while his slider grades out at a 55. With a decent changeup to boot, Baker has the makings of a future power arm. 

The TCU commit will eventually need to decide which way he sees his career going. Whatever the case may be, Baker's raw power and arm strength gives him and the team that drafts him plenty of options going forward. 

Michael Matuella, RHP, Duke University

Injuries have derailed Michael Matuella's career at times, but the right-hander's impressive arsenal of pitches should be plenty of reason for a team to take a chance on him.

Matuella figured to flirt with the very top of the draft this season, but was eventually forced to undergo Tommy John surgery. He also suffered other various ailments during his college career, including being diagnosed with spondylolysis, a defect of the vertebrae in his lower back. 

When a pitcher only logs 141 innings over three seasons, it's hard to blame organizations for passing on him. 

But if Matuella can stay on the field, he has a chance to develop into an elite arm. The right-hander throws as hard as anybody in the draft, sitting in the mid-90s with his heater. He also touts a wipeout curveball and an above-average slider. At 6'7", Matuella generates nasty downward movement with his pitches.

While his injury past cannot be ignored, neither can his ability. If healthy, Matuella could develop into a dominant force in MLB. 

Justin Hooper, LHP, De La Salle HS (California)

Justin Hooper is the most intriguing prospect still available after Day 1 of the 2015 MLB Draft.

The southpaw is electric, touting a fastball that MLB.com grades as a 70 on the 20-80 scale. The scary part? The 6'7" lefty has a chance to throw even harder as he continues to add strength. 

"Hooper sat in the low 90s with his fastball as a junior and figures to add more velocity as he adds strength to his ultra-tall frame," said MLB.com. 

Hooper adds even more of a challenge with his low, unorthodox delivery. The ball explodes out of his hand and gets on the batter in a hurry. Once he evolves from a thrower to a pitcher, he'll be a nightmare for left-handed hitters. 

His control and secondary pitches aren't nearly as impressive has his fastball, but Hooper is still just 18. There's no reason to believe he can't improve those facets of his game with a qualified pitching coach. 

The UCLA commit has all the ability in the world and could develop into the next top left-handed pitching prospect. Hooper has said he will honor his commitment to UCLA and attend school in the fall, but a team may attempt to entice him by taking him early on Day 2.
