What Keith Law liked (and did not like) on the first day of the MLB draft

The first round of the MLB draft was pretty tough. The first seven choices correspond to my fake mechanism. The top ten choices were dominated by the batters. arm, the smallest number in memory.

Here are some thoughts on the first night:

• The Orioles took first place in the overall standings and took first place at Adley Rutschman, a receiver undoubtedly endowed with discipline and potency. He could be in the big leagues by the end of next year, depending on how quickly they want to move him forward. Baltimore then took first place in the second round and landed at Gunnar Henderson, No. 41 on the board, but considered by many teams as an interesting choice in the second half of the first round, a defensive player likely to move to third, with questions about his bat speed.
