Availability
Dax Whitney, the early favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2027 MLB Draft, is scheduled to undergo UCL surgery and will miss the rest of the season for Oregon State.
Fantasy Impact
Whitney's dominant sophomore season in Oregon State will come to an end as he will undergo UCL surgery. He went 6-1 with a 2.00 ERA while striking out 104 batters in 63 innings with the Beavers this season. He has been clocked at 101 mph on his fastball with three above average secondary pitches and his 14.86 Ks per nine innings ranks fourth among qualified Division I pitchers. It's possible he could return to the mound before next year's draft, but his recovery timeline will depend on if he needs Tommy John surgery or the less invasive internal brace procedure.
