Baseball America’s Carlos Collazo reports St. John Bosco HS shortstop James Clark has withdrawn from the 2026 MLB Draft.

Clark was widely regarded as a likely top-three-round selection, but the 18-year-old prep shortstop from California has withdrawn just hours before the draft. He’ll instead head to Duke University to begin his collegiate career.
