As the draft gets closer, a more predictable first round begins to pan out. We’ve already heard some definitive news from teams saying who they’re willing or unwilling to draft, for example the Twins deciding to pass on Hunter Greene for their first pick. However, anything still goes, especially on the floor during draft day.
Using the latest mocks from MLB.com’s Jim Callis and the staff of Baseball America (ESPN’s Keith Law has yet to put out an updated mock, so we’ve eliminated ESPN’s score for this version) we created the second edition of our composite mock draft. Look out for the final version as June 12 draws closer. You can find our first mock right here.
