The MLB Draft is a month away; I know most people don’t follow the college and high school baseball world, but I do. I’ve looked at 12 mock drafts and will be having my own posted later in the week.
For now, I’m doing a value board based off the rankings for the mock drafts I looked at. When I do my mock draft, I’ll be using this as a basis, along with teams draft trends and my gut feeling.
So, without further ado…
