To choose: C Adley Rutschman, State of Oregon
Rutschman's academic career ended unhindered on Saturday while the state of Oregon had been eliminated in the region. He had a monster draft year (.427 / .584 / .772 with 69 walks and 36 strikeouts) and even received Barry Bonds' treatment this weekend. Cincinnati intentionally walked Rutschman with loaded bases and a three-point lead.
Rutschman is the best prospect in this year's draft and perhaps the best draft since Bryce Harper in 2010.. It is considered a more comprehensive perspective than Buster Posey's in the 2008 project because Rutschman's energy potential is more obvious. A type of receiver who strikes hard with strength and strong defensive assets is exactly the type of players that teams want to develop.
For what it's worth, Orioles general manager Mike Elias recently told Dan Connolly of The Athletic that their # 1 roster was reduced to "about four players at the moment." We hear a lot at this time of year. The club with choice # 1 plays well to create leverage in preliminary contract negotiations, which are technically out of step but occur all the time. The O's could go with another player (Bobby Witt Jr. or Andrew Vaughn are the obvious candidates), sign it below the box and spend the savings from the bonus pool in subsequent choices. Elias did it many times when he headed drafts for the Astros. Although it may be tempting, the bet here is that the Os play it directly and take Rutschman, the best player on the board.
"It's hard to downplay that – it's a huge opportunity," said Joe Trezza, of MLB.com, his choice among the top picks. "… So you feel a lot of pressure.The opportunity has a considerable advantage, but it's not easy.Nobody has a crystal ball and it's not easy We only work as much as we can and do our best. "
First draft choice: Rutschman
Second draft choice: Rutschman
To choose: SS Bobby Witt Jr., HS Colleyville, Texas
You can never really call anything a lock in the draft MLB, but Royals taking Witt are about as close to a lock as possible. They have traveled since the spring and their long affinity for high end athletes with defensive tools above average makes it an obvious choice. Add to that his power and his offensive potential, and Witt has a real ability of five tools. He may be the star player that the Royals form around him.
If the Orioles took Witt and zig while everyone was waiting for them, the Royals would gladly take Adley Rutschman with that choice. If the O really left the table and took Andrew Vaughn with choice # 1, Kansas City should think hard about Rutschman on Witt. It would not surprise me if they took Witt anyway. They like it a lot. Witt's father, Bobby Sr., played 16 years in the major leagues and was the number 3 choice in 1985.
First draft choice: Witt
Second draft choice: Witt
To choose: SS C.J. Abrams, Blessed Trinity Catholic HS (Georgia)
The # 3 selection is more in the air than the recent White Sox history in selecting college bats at the top of the repechage would let you believe (Chicago has used one of the 11 best choices on a university hitter in the last three years). On paper, Andrew Vaughn fits perfectly. Advanced Striker, fast engine in system, etc. He is exactly the type of player that the White Socks have been aiming for a few years.
Recently, however, there have been rumors that ChiSox was trying to make its way among the intermediate players, with Abrams as their obvious target at this stage of the repechage. Chicago had similar prospects with its first-round picks in 2012 (Courtney Hawkins) and 2013 (Tim Anderson), and it may be time to return well after five years of college players. The bet is that Chicago passes on Vaughn for Abrams.
"We are going to align our board and take the highest player still in office," said screening director Nick Hostetler recently told Bruce Levine of 670 The Score. "We spent a lot of time on this – literally from the last day of the draft from last year to now … so we will line up the 1-2-3 table. is still here, this is the third member of our board of directors, it's the one we choose. "
First draft choice: 1B Andrew Vaughn, California
Second draft choice: Vaughn
To choose: J. J. Bleday, Vanderbilt
The White Sox transmitting Andrew Vaughn would create a little uncertainty here. According to Jordan McPherson of Miami HeraldSeveral Marlins executives, including chief executive Derek Jeter and baseball president Michael Hill, were there to watch Vaughn and Bleday last week. They would also have seen Adley Rutschman at some point.
"I have not looked at all the country's players like our scouts, but it's an interesting and revealing experience," Jeter told McPherson about his scouting trips. "… I like having the opportunity to see the interaction of the players with their teammates, how much they play hard, how they play, their knowledge of the game. Obviously, you can see the tools, you can see the guys hitting, running and throwing, you see a lot of video. "
The Marlins have been connected to Bleday, a left-handed hitter who is at the above-average speed of a five-player tools, for weeks now. Vaughn would be terribly tempting though. As good drummer as he is, the poor historical reputation of right-handed hitters / overthrow of the low-pushing justiciers pushes Vaughn into our final draft. Bleday is for Miami.
First draft choice: Bleday

To choose: 1B Andrew Vaughn, California
Like most teams, the Tigers play the card in the days leading up to the repechage. To witness it:
For weeks, the Tigers were closely tied to Riley Greene, the best hitter in high school in this project, but Vaughn's fall would make them change gears. Even with the disadvantage of the peloton and the defensive limits, it is too good to wait for the best batter of the country with the 5th choice. Detroit appears as bandits in our model project.

In a sense, the Padres may have the easiest decision on Monday night. The best prospects for this project can be divided into two distinct levels: Adley Rutschman, Andrew Vaughn and Bobby Witt Jr .; then C. J. Abrams, J. J. Bleday and Greene. In theory, the Padres will simply use choice # 6 to choose one of the six players still available. In our model project, it's Greene.
"We are looking for the best player.If it is a pitcher, we will do it.If this is a player who holds a position, that is who we will take" said Padres Inspection Director Mark Connor to Jeff Sanders of San Diego Union-Tribune recently. "If you try to force these selections and what you want to do based on what you have in your system, you are putting yourself in the position of potentially making a bad selection or conveying something really good."
The way the Padres line up their painting is a mystery. Therefore, in the event that two (or more) or six best hopes are still available when choice number 6 is launched (unlikely but not impossible), I am not sure. which they would take. I know that a lot: San Diego is about potential. They have always taken the best player, the most talented, with their first-round pick choice under GM A.J. Preller. They do not joke on the day of the project. Greene is the best player available in our model project and that makes him a Padre.
(I should note that if the first six batters come off the board with the top six picks in our fake draft, it would be the first time in draft history that a pitcher was not selected from the top six. looking for an upper shelf arm, this is not the project for you.)
First draft choice: SS C.J. Abrams, Blessed Trinity Catholic HS (Georgia)
Second draft choice: Abrams
To choose: LHP Nick Lodolo, TCU
If one of the top six qualifiers qualifies here, the Reds would definitely jump. Since this is not the case in our model project and Cincinnati has no choice this year, they have swapped their competitive choice against the Yankees in the Sonny Gray affair. They are not in a position to cut off outsourcing and save bonus pool money for a later choice.
Bobby Nightengale from Cincinnati Inquirer reports that the Reds had 25 players at the Great American Ball Park last week for preliminary training, which is a standard procedure, especially for a top 10 team. Brad Meador, director of surveillance, predicted to Nightengale that the Reds would take "the best player available, especially where we select … (when) you choose this high level, you want to get the best player possible."
Given the available players, the Reds have the choice to catch who they consider to be the best university pitcher on the board. We are going there with Lodolo, who has been connected to Cincinnati for weeks and who is the # 1 by consensus in the 2019 project. Alek Manoah, West Virginia, Zack Thompson, Kentucky, George Kirby, d & # 39; Elon, and Jackson Rutledge, of San Jacinto, are other possibilities.
First draft choice: Lodolo
Second draft choice: Lodolo
To choose: 3B Brett Baty, HS of Lake Travis, Texas
Rangers are always a good bet for noisy tools. That was their last month, oh, a decade or so. Baty offers many benefits with his batting skills and raw power, as well as his hot corner rocket arm. His approach is solid and he has a chance to be an impact player on both sides of the ball. In addition, Brett Baty is an A + baseball name.
The elephant in the hall: Baty will be 19 and a half on draft day, and the prospects for older high school students do not have much pro ball experience. It carries risks. Because of his age, Baty is less qualified than his benchmark tools, making him an excellent candidate for a parallel market that allows Texas to spend a lot on his next two picks (numbers 41 and 50).
"We talked about it a bit recently, to find out where we did well and where we did not do it as well," Jon Daniels, general manager, told Evan Grant. Dallas Morning News. "Where we take risks that have come to fruition, where we have taken risks that have not been, some of them are related to the evaluation of players and, precisely, risk appetite, some teams have a greater risk aversion than others, some more willing than others to take it.We agreed to take some risks. "
First draft choice: OF Hunter Bishop, State of Arizona
Second draft choice: Baty
To choose: RHP Jackson Rutledge, San Jacinto JC (Texas)
The Braves are holding two first-round picks this year – this choice is a compensation for not signing the first responder of 2018, Carter Stewart, who recently signed in Japan – which gives them a nice bonus pool ($ 11.5 million) and some flexibility. They can spend a lot of money now or later, or spread the money evenly. The guess is that they will do the last one.
"As all clubs will say, we are looking for the best player available," said Alex Anthopoulos GM Mark Bowman of MLB.com. "The landscape is changing so quickly at the level of the major leagues that there is no point in considering recruiting for a need corresponding to that of your major league club, especially as most of these players take several years to be able to count for you at the level of the major league. "
Anthopoulos, which dates back to the time of the Blue Jays, has always focused on the ceiling and rising in the long run. It is said that Atlanta here focuses on college players, with righteous Alek Manoah, catcher Shea Langeliers and Hunter Hunter's opportunities. Rutledge offers a unique and enticing blend of size (6 feet 8 inches), young (20 years old in April) and power (three potential swing and miss grounds) that seems to fit well in Anthopoulos' alleys.
First draft choice: C Karité Langeliers, Baylor

For a team that has been so successful in the field recently, the Giants have certainly been among the top 10 in recent years. San Francisco has been in the top 10 five times in the last 13 projects. The jury is still on the receiver Joey Bart, the No. 2 pick in the draft last year, but the Giants have absolutely nailed these other four top picks:
The Giants received production worth around 90 WARs (and counting) plus one high-value token from these four selections. Goodness. Of course, these choices were made by a different front-office regime, and this the level of success of projects is difficult to replicate. New Managing Director Farhan Zaidi has no writing experience, which is unfortunate for simulation purposes.
"As an organization, I think our relative strength lies in pitching.We are looking to improve the overall typing tools of our organization," Zaidi told Henry Schulman, of San Francisco Chronicle recently.
Now, having said that, I doubt that the Giants will pass on a thrower if there is an arm over their board when this pick rolls. However, in this project, high-end bats far exceed high-end weapons, so a positional player would have been a good bet even before Zaidi made those comments.
Bishop had a tremendous spring after making mechanical changes last summer that released his natural power. With good defense and good speed, landing Bishop with choice # 10 would be a real asset to a Giants team that needs to start building its next offensive core. Bryson Stott is another possibility here.
First draft choice: RHP Jackson Rutledge, San Jacinto JC (Texas)
Second draft choice: SS Bryson Stott, UNLV
To choose: RHP Alek Manoah, West Virginia
Stop me if you've ever heard this line before: Steve Sanders, Blue Jays Scouting Director, said his team was going to choose the best player available. "I think our approach to this draft is the same as every year, to use our entire bonus pool and the choices available to us to add the best group of players," said Sanders on Saturday. Toronto StarThat's Gregor Chisholm.
It looks like the university players are on a roll in the middle of the first round and the Giants start the game with Hunter Bishop in our model project. It would be difficult for the Blue Jays to abandon a stopover like Bryson Stott, but it is difficult to refuse. This is true even in a project of light on arms high end like this one. Manoah might not last as long and Toronto would be happy to bring him here.
First draft choice: SS Bryson Stott, UNLV
Second draft choice: Manoah
To choose: LHP Zack Thompson, Kentucky
It looks like the Mets are under the orders of new general manager Brodie Van Wagenen, with a pitcher more likely than a batter. Nick Lodolo, Alek Manoah and Jackson Rutledge are the best academic arms in this draft class and they are already missing from the board in our model mockup. Thompson is the fourth member of the college's four great beginners and has the skills to be in the top 5-10 as a great physical southpaw with four courts and a good performance. He was held back by a history of injuries such as shoulder problems in high school and an elbow problem last spring. Elon George Kirby is another option here. I do not see Manoah that lasts longer than this choice.
First draft choice: OF Corbin Carroll, Lakeside HS, Washington
Second draft choice: Thompson
To choose: C Karité Langeliers, Baylor
I did not start this exercise hoping that Langeliers would be eliminated before Bryson Stott, but we are there. That's how the pieces fell. I thought that going past Kyle Wright to take Royce Lewis with the top pick in 2017 was an indication that Derek Falvey, who had just been hired as the new chief baseball officer, favored players who were preparing a lot for the rise. Then last year, the Twins faced Trevor Larnach, a college player, in the first round, and I do not know what to think.
Minnesota was connected to college players most of the spring, with a few exceptions. The Twins also have choice # 39 and, given who is currently on the board of our mock project, going to college now and high school makes sense. Langeliers played Saturday a whale game with 5 against 6, a double, three circuits and an NCAA tournament record of 11 RBI …
… and he entered the spring as a potential 10 choice. Then he broke the hamate bone in his left hand and missed the time, which dragged his slag stock. Langeliers has recorded big numbers since his return and he is an outstanding defender. Putting it in 13th place (and potentially for a sub-game bonus) is a big deal for the Twins.

The Phillies had a first player (Aaron Nola in 2014) become a major player since his victory at Cole Hamels with the # 17 pick in 2002. Alec Bohm, last year's # 3 pick, has a very well started in professional ball and surely Philadelphia hopes this indicates that his first-round luck is starting to turn. I find it hard to believe that Stott, the best middle school player in the repechage and a southpaw hitting a shortstop that is an asset on both sides of the ball, will last as long as the repechage, but he is always available in our model project. , and the Phillies would jump on him in this scenario. They have been everywhere with the project rumblings in recent weeks. College, high school, batter, pitcher, they are on everything.
First draft choice: RHP Matthew Allan, Seminole HS, Florida
Second draft choice: SS Gunnar Henderson, Morgan Academy, Alabama
To choose: 3B Keoni Cavaco, Eastlake HS (California)
Since Chief Executive Billy Eppler took office four years ago, the Angels have generally favored higher probability in the repechage, and it works pretty well for them. Their farming system is well improved. Cavaco is one of the few potential candidates in Southern California not to be outsourced – he has not been invited to top the list of the most important events in recent years – and he has exploded on the scene this spring. He climbed on the boards and is now considered a lock to be one of the top 20 picks. The angels follow him and there is no chance he'll be on the board when their second round pick, No. 55, will be announced, so it's now or never. The Halos have been connected to the best prospects of high school all spring. The right-hander who throws hard, Matthew Allan, is an alternative here if Cavaco is not part of the table.
First draft choice: RHP Alek Manoah, West Virginia

To choose: 3B Josh Jung, Texas Tech
Diamondbacks have a ton of extra choices this year and are the biggest baseball bonus pool. Here are the seven – seven! – choice in Arizona on Monday:
- 16th overall: The first round of D-Backs.
- 26th overall: Compensation for not having signed Matt McLain, member of the first round of 2018.
- 33rd overall: Compensation for the loss of Patrick Corbin to free will.
- 34th overall: Compensation to lose A.J. Pollock to the free agency.
- 56th overall: The second round of D-Backs.
- 74th overall: Their own competitive balance at round B.
- 75th overall: The competitive balance of the Cardinals around B Pick (acquired in the trade Paul Goldschmidt).
"I think the number of choices we have allows us to artificially infuse into the organization a quantity of talent that we would not be able to achieve with a simple traditional project," said the director recently. General Mike Hazen at MLB.com, Steve Gilbert. "I think it helps to keep strengthening our organization a bit."
Because they have so many choices in addition, the D-Backs have cast a very wide net this spring and it's virtually impossible to determine who they are targeting with each particular choice. Smart money is on the Arizona diversifying a bit (college, high school, etc.) with a few big pennies, a mixed selection.
The conjecture here – and I stress that it's a major conjecture in an article filled with big conjectures – is that the D-Back will use that choice on a player that they do not expect to see appear on the board with their next choice. Jung agrees. He's a solid full-fledged player who was lucky enough to figure in the top 10 selections this year, but was just pretty good rather than excellent.
If the D-Backs actually play in college, the best money is that it's an under-occupied transaction that allows them to spend a lot of money on other players later. It may be that Arizona sets a bonus number for this choice, the magazine and choose the one who will accept it. Technically against the rules! But it happens. Like all the time.
First draft choice: RHP Quinn Priester, HS Cary Grove, Illinois
Second draft choice: Priest
To choose: RHP Matthew Allan, Seminole HS, Florida
Nationals usually choose the biggest name, the highest player in the table, even if injured (Lucas Giolito in 2012, Erick Fedde in 2014) or concerns off the field (Seth Romero in 2017). Allan has no problem with injury or makeup. He is just the best high school pitcher in the repechage class and expects to be paid accordingly, which would be north of $ 4 million. This is a little above the niche value of this choice ($ 3.6 million), but not to the point of making this impractical. The Nationals seldom choose the top of the repechage and, in this simulacrum match, they appoint a player with the 10 best tools that may scare some teams with its price. Allan is right in the Washington wheelhouse.
First draft choice: DE Kameron Misner, Missouri
Second draft choice: C Karité Langeliers, Baylor
To choose: RHP Quinn Priester, HS Cary Grove, Illinois
The Pirates love high school pitchers armed with live weapons that fire a ball out of range, and I suppose they would like Matthew Allan to get that choice. However, it is not available in our model project. Priest is a candidate to leave the board sooner than that, especially for a team with a large bonus pool and additional choices, so Pittsburgh will have to keep his fingers crossed. If Priester is already gone, this choice is made, the Pirates could rotate a university bat like Michael Busch of UNC, Kody Hoese of Tulane or Logan Davidson of Clemson.
First draft choice: SS Logan Davidson, Clemson
Second draft choice: Davidson
To choose: RHP George Kirby, Elon
Similar to Marco Gonzales in 2013, Kirby and the Cardinals come feel as a perfect fit. He is an extreme striker – Kirby has recorded a weekend of 107/6 K / BB – with a quality mix on four grounds. St. Louis is an outstanding organization for pitcher development and Kirby could help the miners with their help. In fact, there is a chance – a very good chance – that Kirby leaves the table long before the Cardinals are chosen. In this case, St. Louis could pivot to a college bat like Will Wilson of NC State or Kody Hoese of Tulane.
First draft choice: Kirby
Second draft choice: Kirby
To choose: SS Anthony Volpe, HS Delbarton, New Jersey
Keoni Cavaco or George Kirby are the dream scenario for the Mariners, although they are not on the blackboard with this fictitious draft, and it is unlikely that they are still on the board when this choice will take place Monday night. Volpe goes up late on the boards – he received increased visibility this spring thanks to teammate Jack Leiter, a potential (but perhaps insignificant) candidate – because he's a high-end make-up artist whose totality is greater than the sum the parts. He is a good hitter, a good defender and a good runner, and everything is played well.

The Braves have two first-round picks this year and teams are generally diversifying in these situations. A college player, a high school, a pitcher, a hitter, that sort of thing. Atlanta takes a very virulent right-winger (Jackson Rutledge) with the # 9 pick in this model project. To balance things a little, we will give them Hoese with this choice. This is a powerful third-base player who has had a recurring spring, and he is running for the conclusion of an outsourcing deal earlier in the first round. A field player like Will Wilson from NC State or Greg Jones from UNC Wilmington are possible alternatives here.
First draft choice: RHP Brennan Malone, IMG Academy (Florida)
Second draft choice: Malone
To choose: SS Gunnar Henderson, Morgan Academy, Alabama
The Rays have two more choices this year. They added the competitive balance of A. A choice (No. 40) to their own competitive balance choice (No. 36) in the three-team Jurickson Profar game – and therefore a good bonus pool of small size ( $ 10.3 million). They can play directly and take the best player with each choice, or outsource earlier and pay big later.
"We strive to look at history to help us value each perspective and use previous versions, as well as the results of these actors to help us predict how to evaluate each of our different perspectives in a draft," he said. told Marc Topkin, director Tampa Bay Times during the weekend. "But it will always be a work in progress to try to improve that, to try to become better at predicting the future, so it's really, really hard."
It's pretty much the point where we could see a race on the short-stops and Henderson continues to climb on the draft boards because he's always looking better and better. Henderson is not going to waste as much space in the pool as it will limit what Ray can do with these two additional choices.
First draft choice: 3B Brett Baty, HS of Lake Travis, Texas
Deuxième choix de brouillon: 3B Keoni Cavaco, Eastlake HS (Californie)
To choose: 1B / OF Michael Busch, UNC
Busch a été connecté à presque toutes les équipes de 15 à 25 ans et pourrait même aller plus haut que cela à une équipe avec des choix supplémentaires qui cherchent à conclure un contrat inachevé. Les Rocheuses auraient surveillé le tournoi de l'ACC le mois dernier et Busch est sans doute le meilleur candidat potentiel de la conférence. il y a donc eu beaucoup de spéculation entre les deux. Si ce n'est pas Busch, Will Wilson de NC State pourrait faire l'affaire pour le Colorado avec ce choix.
Premier choix de brouillon: Busch
Deuxième choix de brouillon: DE Kameron Misner, Missouri
To choose: SS Will Wilson, État du NC
Si Busch était toujours sur le tableau, les Indiens le saisiraient probablement. Comme ce n’est pas le cas dans notre projet de maquette, nous avons Cleveland avec Wilson, un joueur intérieur à tout faire qui semble être le Plan B pour beaucoup d’équipes dans la deuxième moitié du premier tour. Braden Shewmake, de Texas A & M, et Logan Davidson, de Clemson, sont des alternatives possibles, bien qu'il ne soit pas exclu que les Indiens choisissent un lycéen avec un gros bras ici. Daniel Espino (Géorgie) et J.J. Goss (Texas) pourrait être dans ce mélange.
Premier choix de brouillon: SS Braden Shewmake, Texas A & M
Deuxième choix de brouillon: Shewmake
To choose: RHP Daniel Espino, Georgia Premier Academy
Les Dodgers choisissent ici et aussi le numéro 31 (compensation pour avoir omis de signer le premier joueur de 2018, J.T. Ginn), bien qu'il semble improbable qu'ils puissent jouer à des jeux de pool bonus. Attendez-vous à deux coups consécutifs, meilleur joueur du plateau. Espino a ajouté environ 10 mph à sa balle rapide au cours des trois dernières années et touche maintenant régulièrement à 98-99 mph. Ajoutez à cela deux balles qui se cassent au-dessus de la moyenne et vous obtenez exactement le type de joueur qu'une organisation avisée en matière d'analyse peut transformer en une perspective d'élite. Les outils bruts donnent à Espino un peu le même âge que Walker Buehler.
Premier choix de brouillon: Espino
Deuxième choix de brouillon: Espino
To choose: OF Corbin Carroll, Lakeside HS (Washington)
Arizona a ce choix plus deux des huit prochains choix. Ils ont déjà une solide batte d'université à Jung dans leur poche depuis le début du projet de maquette, et cela semble être un endroit approprié pour aller gros. Carroll a l'outil à jouer et les côtelettes du centre pour se classer parmi les 8-12 premiers choix quelque part, mais c'est un lycéen plus âgé (19 ans en août), et ils ont un moyen de glisser dans le repêchage. Les D-Backs peuvent le payer (peut-être même le surpayer un peu s’il mise vraiment sur son engagement à UCLA) et miser sur l’impact bidirectionnel potentiel.

Les Cubs ont un des plus petits pools de bonus dans le projet de cette année à 5,8 millions de dollars. Telle est la vie lorsque vous gagnez 95 parties et que vous n'avez plus de choix. Je suis sûr que les Cubbies aimeraient un groupe de haut niveau comme Brennan Malone ou J.J. Goss, mais cela nécessiterait quelques manipulations sérieuses du pool de tirant d'eau, et pourrait ne pas être possible sans aller très bon marché dans les rounds 2 à 10. Compte tenu de leur histoire sous Theo Epstein, une batte universitaire est probablement ici, et Davidson est le meilleur disponible en tant que short-stop sûr au potentiel énergétique.

De manière générale, les Brewers sont une simple équipe de "meilleur joueur disponible" le jour du repêchage. Même lorsqu'ils ont des choix supplémentaires – Milwaukee a échangé leur choix de solde concurrentiel (n ° 41) aux Rangers contre Alex Claudio – ils ne deviennent pas mignons et ne manipulent pas leur réserve de bonus. Malone, un droitier à quatre longueurs qui a fait des pas en avant avec le truc du "lancer, ne pas lancer" ce printemps, est le meilleur joueur du tableau dans notre projet de maquette, alors les Brewers le comprennent. Ils feront en sorte que l'argent travaille avec les choix ultérieurs en conséquence.

To choose: SS Greg Jones, UNC Wilmington
Étant donné qui est toujours sur le conseil et leurs préférences déclarées, une batte d'université est le choix probable ici. Les A sautaient sur Kody Hoese, Michael Busch ou Will Wilson avec ce choix. Cependant, nous faisons tous les trois partie de notre projet de maquette, alors nous allons donner à Oakland le Jones à la hausse rapide. Le coureur le plus rapide du repêchage a déchiré la couverture devant de nombreux dépisteurs et cadres au cours des deux dernières semaines, le poussant à passer au premier tour. Même s'il se positionne au centre du terrain pour obtenir plus de valeur de ses jambes, Jones a une chance d'être un homme dynamique.
Premier choix de brouillon: SS Will Wilson, État du NC

Ce sera certainement une batte pour les Yankees avec ce médiator. Si ce n’est pas Callihan, un lycéen plus âgé au pouvoir gaucher amical du Yankee Stadium, ce pourrait être Kameron Misner du Missouri ou le lycéen Florida Hind. Gunnar Henderson, Kody Hoese et Corbin Carroll présenteraient tous un intérêt s'ils devaient aller aussi loin. Étant donné le tableau et le buzz, une chauve-souris semble probable ici …
… à moins que les Yankees ne tentent le lycée du New Jersey, Jack Leiter. Les Yankees ont acquis le choix d'équilibre concurrentiel des Reds (n ° 38) dans le commerce de Sonny Grey et disposent d'un pool de bonus plus important que prévu de 7,5 millions de dollars. Leiter est le fils du grand joueur de longue date Al Leiter, et l'un des meilleurs lanceurs de lycée du pays. He is strongly committed to Vanderbilt, however, and unconfirmed rumors says he is only willing to sign with New York. If the Yankees do take Leiter, you can be sure they'll have a firm grasp on his signability or even have a (technically illegal) pre-draft agreement in place. They're not going to wing it with roughly $2.4 million in slot money on the line.
First mock draft pick: 3B Kody Hoese, Tulane
Second mock draft pick: Callihan
To choose: OF Kameron Misner, Missouri
I think the dream scenario for the Dodgers would be Brennan Malone here, giving them two very high upside pitching prospects with their two first-round picks. Since we have Malone coming off the board earlier, Misner is the next best fit. Los Angeles is not shy about drafting players with glaring flaws (Jeren Kendall's swing-and-miss issues, most notably) and Misner has excellent tools but a weird lack of production as a junior, particularly in conference play. This late in the first round, every player has a flaw, and few offer the sort of athleticism and tool package Misner brings to the table.

A few college bats could fit here, particularly Logan Davidson. More likely, the Astros have their eye on one of the prep arms slated to come off the board late in the round first, like Daniel Espino. Goss looks like an Astros pitching prospect given his quick arm, high-spin breaking balls, and powerful delivery. Houston doesn't have any extra picks and they have the third smallest bonus pool ($5.4 million), yet Goss would give them quite a bit of upside at the end of the first round.
