Luke Dickerson was a prospect with major helium entering the 2025 MLB Draft, jumping over 250 spots in Baseball America’s draft rankings over the course of his senior season.

Combined with his commitment to the University of Virginia, a school notoriously difficult to break prospects’ commitments away from, some teams may have steered clear even if they believed in the talent.
