Perfect Game tags Oliveto with an 8.5 player grade, meaning the Yale pledge is a “potential draft pick and/or excellent college prospect.” He’s rated the No. 16 backstop in the country by the same recruiting service and performed well enough during last year’s summer circuit to gain lots of attention.
