It's the perfect time for a two-round mock draft. MLB Draft Combine workouts started this week, some college stars are still playing at the Men's College World Series in Omaha, high school seasons are completed and pre-draft workouts for all the players mentioned below are now over.
Industry evaluators' perception of the top of this draft class has taken a big step forward over the course of the season. It's a college-heavy group throughout the first round, with some solid high school and college pitching depth near the end of the round, and light on high school position players. The top tier of college hitters is so good it warranted a deep dive on those players to tease out the differences.
With a clear tier of 10 players at the top (you can jump into my latest draft rankings for more on that), it's likely that group makes up eight or nine of the first 10 picks. I say eight or nine because financial incentives exist, given the draft's bonus pool structure, for at least one team in the top 10 picks to opt for saving for a later selection if they don't like the players and asking prices they're left with from that top group.
Now let's predict the first 74 players to come off the board on Day 1 when this year's MLB Draft starts on Sunday, July 14.
Mock draft 1.0 | MLB draft rankings 2.0: Top 150-plus
1. Cleveland Guardians
JJ Wetherholt, SS, West Virginia
Here's a deep look at how the pick that will shape the rest of this draft could play out. I mentioned in my previous mock draft that 1-1 silly rumor season was in full swing with those in the industry guessing what value-based play Cleveland will make at the top pick. The Guardians are casting a wide net in conversations with representatives for players, indirectly encouraging this practice.
I am pretty sure the Guardians have Chase Burns as the top college pitcher, Cam Caminiti as the top prep pitcher and Konnor Griffin as the top prep position player on their board. I don't think they can justify taking any of these players with the No. 1 pick when there are equivalent (and likely better) college position players available. That leaves us with four players they are most likely considering -- using their history, industry buzz and sourcing -- from the college position player demographic: Charlie Condon, Travis Bazzana, Jac Caglianone and Wetherholt.
Condon is the best player in the draft in my mind and also to a majority of evaluators, but the buzz on what Cleveland thinks of him has been mixed. Is that misdirection or real? It's hard to say, but he is a corner player, maybe a corner outfielder, while the Guardians prefer up-the-middle prospects. Condon's bonus price is perceived to be the highest of the group as the consensus best player who is seemingly a lock to go in the first three picks.
Bazzana fits the Guardians' draft style a bit better, thus he is the most common industry guess for who Cleveland will take. He also won't likely cut a huge deal since he won't go past Pick 4 and his camp knows he fits what Cleveland likes. Bazzana also is just fine as a defensive second baseman and an average-ish runner, so the up-the-middle bonafides aren't wildly stronger than Condon.
There have been heavy rumors and some hard information that the Guardians have been all over Caglianone all spring. He has the elite tools you expect to see out of a top overall pick and there's the allure that dropping pitching will accelerate his growth at the plate. Ultimately, a corner-only, not particularly polished hitter doesn't fit Cleveland's history at all. I buy that they are entranced by his rare ability and seriously considering him (actually, I know they are), but I don't see them actually taking Caglianone No. 1 on draft day.
That brings us to Wetherholt. He might be a major league shortstop and is definitely an infielder. He's basically above average at everything ranging from the elements of hitting to all five traditional physical tools. He's devalued a bit from playing in the Big 12 (rather than the SEC or ACC) and missing half the season with a hamstring strain while also not having a conventional physical look to a No. 1 pick. For all of these reasons, he may actually cut a deal -- especially since there doesn't seem to be a path for him to go in the top five other than at this pick. And there's a whiff of Jose Ramirez to his game, rumored to be the archetype Cleveland has been using in prioritizing hit-first, up-the-middle type players for close to a decade.
That brings us to the last element here: the bonus price. The slot for the first pick is $10,570,600. A player is guaranteed to be offered 75% of that figure if he submits to the MLB Draft Combine medical. I assume all position players will, but that's also somewhat irrelevant for the No. 1 overall because an agent couldn't actually take under 75% of slot at 1-1 and be able to recruit elite players effectively again -- 75% of the top slot is $7,927,950. I narrowed the college position player bucket down to four because the player has to be worth $8 million. That 75% figure of the top slot falls between the fourth and fifth slots, which is a tick better than Wetherholt figures to go if he doesn't go No. 1 -- as I'd guess he then winds up in the No. 4 to No. 7 area, more likely the back end of that range.
Let's add this all up: Taking Wetherholt here fits the Guardians' preferred type of player, fits their prioritization of bonus pool value and leans into the smart player demographic play. (For what it's worth, I may end up ranking him as high as third overall in my final rankings, so I'm also slowly talking myself into this point of view in my evaluation.) If Wetherholt takes 75% of slot at 1-1, that would give Cleveland nearly $3.5 million over the slot amounts for its remaining picks, if you combine the savings with their 5% overage. That means the Guardians could spend a little over $6 million -- above the slot price of the 10th pick -- on their next pick at 36th overall and still be able to pay full slot on every subsequent pick in the draft. That could be enough to float one of the prep players from the second paragraph of this blurb down the board.
For their later picks, particularly if Caminiti or Griffin don't make it to their next pick, the Guardians will have lots of money to spend and have been tied mostly to prep pitchers -- William Schmidt, David Shields and Chase Mobley have been mentioned the most -- but they're also considering some high school shortstops, including Carter Johnson.
2. Cincinnati Reds
Charlie Condon, 3B, Georgia
The chatter from Reds execs all spring has been that they will go under slot here and they could go comfortably under the $9.785 million slot value and still set a record, which would best the $9.2 million bonus Paul Skenes got as the No. 1 pick last summer. Even a number just under $9 million here could still end up being the biggest bonus of this draft.
The buzz has also been that if Cleveland passes on Condon, he'll go second, so it all adds up. Burns and Caglianone are the other most mentioned players here with some mixed sentiment on if Bazzana is a real option. The other industry speculation is that Cincinnati is looking to roll savings and possibly its overage into a prep pitcher, the deepest player demographic after the first round, at their next pick: No. 51 overall. I don't think the top five or so prep arms can get that far down the board, but that's something we'll find out on draft day. Late-rising Idaho prep righty Dax Whitney is a target who could make it to that pick.
3. Colorado Rockies
Chase Burns, RHP, Wake Forest
In this scenario, Burns, Caglianone and Bazzana are the options for Colorado with industry sentiment leaning toward Burns, though there are some that think Caglianone would be the pick in this scenario. The Rockies have leaned toward pitchers in the first round of late since they don't think they can sign frontline starters in free agency because of their ballpark, and last season they started drafting four-seam-oriented pitchers in Chase Dollander and Sean Sullivan after taking exclusively sinker-ballers for years. Burns is a four-seam type, pairing well with Dollander (a former teammate when both were at Tennessee) and is a potential ace, so all of Colorado's various tendencies can be satisfied. I think Burns/Caglianone, in this scenario, are the third and fifth picks in some order, a near coin flip at this point.
4. Oakland Athletics
Travis Bazzana, 2B, Oregon State
Oakland has been heavily tied to Nick Kurtz all spring but in the event Bazzana gets here, this is believed to be his floor and the easy pick for the A's. Caglianone is in the mix and Braden Montgomery also gets mentioned here.
5. Chicago White Sox
Jac Caglianone, 1B, Florida
Here or the next pick is probably as far as Caglianone could last. There's a persistent rumor that high schooler Konnor Griffin is in play here and I could see that happening if Cags isn't on the board here. Hagen Smith also fits Chicago's type -- he's a low arm slot lefty like recent first-rounders Garrett Crochet and Noah Schultz -- but Burns is perceived to be a bit higher on most boards, and the belief in the industry is that the White Sox want a position player here. Boston Bateman is one of a few prep pitchers who are rumored to be targets of the White Sox at a later pick, with Connor Foley the most rumored college pitcher for Chicago at a later pick.
6. Kansas City Royals
Braden Montgomery, RF, Texas A&M
This is where things really start to open up. Nearly every player in the top 10 has been tied to this pick at various times.The position players on the board here are all very tightly packed and one of the hitters in play here will likely last until Pick 12 or 13. I think any of Condon/Bazzana/Burns/Caglianone would be the pick if they fall here and I think Hagen Smith and Bryce Rainer are also in consideration, with James Tibbs as a likely cheaper option similar to Montgomery. The Royals are also tied to close to a dozen different prep pitchers with later picks, so saving to go big later could end up being the aim here if those top four players don't make it.
7. St. Louis Cardinals
Hagen Smith, LHP, Arkansas
The Cardinals are in a good spot, with one of the two top pitchers likely to make it, none of the elite hitters are really in play -- making that decision beyond their control -- but they could act as a floor for Wetherholt, and they could also get their choice of any high school player in the country.
Smith answers too many questions for the organization at large -- St. Louis has lacked frontline starting pitching recently -- to pass up given what's available. Rainer is believed to be in play here, as is Montgomery, but a college player is more likely to be the pick.
8. Los Angeles Angels
Bryce Rainer, SS, Harvard Westlake (Calif.) HS
Nope, not a fast-moving college player, but a potentially elite and local high schooler. The Angels have been the most interesting team to track in the draft of late as they just rush their top few college picks to the big leagues and have found some success doing it. This year, the Rainer rumors are real, as the possible exception or maybe even pivot to this strategy; he should go by Pick 12. This is the first spot where the red-hot Tennessee 2B Christian Moore, the biggest Omaha riser, is getting traction, in case the Angels want to go back to fast-tracking college players on a discount. Catcher Walker Janek is rumored to be an even more extreme version of that. Montgomery, Nick Kurtz and James Tibbs have all been rumored here for some time. At their next pick, I think the Angels are the floor for fast-rising Louisiana SS Kyle DeBarge.
9. Pittsburgh Pirates
James Tibbs, RF, Florida State
For some teams, Tibbs wins a straight up head-to-head with Kurtz, Montgomery, Christian Moore or Ryan Waldschmidt as a power bat, not even factoring in price. Pittsburgh has kicked the tires on Caminiti but is believed to be locked on college options at this pick, with Tibbs the perceived leader. Idaho high school pitcher Dax Whitney is also targeted by the Pirates for their other Day 1 picks.
10. Washington Nationals
Konnor Griffin, SS, Jackson Prep (Miss.) HS
Griffin or the best college position player available is believed to be the mix here. The Nats have a new scouting group in control for its first draft together. Griffin could be the rare player who balances the upside-at-all-costs approach Washington was known for under the old group and the more modern approach of the newer group, with GM Mike Rizzo, a former scouting director himself, the bridge between the two regimes.
11. Detroit Tigers
Cam Caminiti, LHP, Saguaro (Ariz.) HS
Detroit is considering all player demographics here and seems to be primed to jump on any player who slips to this pick as opposed to targeting a certain type. Caminiti (cousin of Ken) should go in the next few picks if he doesn't go here, and I think Griffin would also get a long look if he makes it to this pick. Kurtz, Tibbs and Yesavage also fit depending on where Detroit leans in terms of price and risk profile. It seems prep 3B Chase Harlan would be the choice for the Tigers' next pick if he's still available.
12. Boston Red Sox
Christian Moore, 2B, Tennessee
There's been a lot of heat for Moore coming off the board with this pick during his rise throughout the end of the regular season into the college postseason. Boston seems to be in a similar spot to Detroit, hoping to grab one of the top 10 talents who happen to fall out of the top 10 picks, with a bias toward hitters with some power. Moore and Kurtz both fit that focus on hitters with power.
I think Boston is the floor for Griffin or Rainer should they fall. Trey Yesavage, Malcolm Moore and Tommy White are in consideration, but more outside looking in. Keep an eye on College of Charleston 1B Cole Mathis at Boston's second pick.
13. San Francisco Giants
Nick Kurtz, 1B, Wake Forest
The Giants are the tail end of this trio of teams hoping some players that belong in the top 10 on talent will fall because of luck or other teams going on underslot ventures. Kurtz has a real chance to go No. 4 overall, then has some interest in the late top 10 and otherwise will settle in this trio of opportunistic teams. Caminiti and Yesavage are real options here, and the Giants like Billy Amick, though he likely lasts a bit longer. It's unclear which of the second cut of college bats (Christian Moore, Tibbs, Seaver King, etc.) are at the top of the Giants' list.
14. Chicago Cubs
Ryan Waldschmidt, LF, Kentucky
Waldschmidt is another hot name who has been rising in the latter stages of the season, and he is still gaining interest as he plays in Omaha. There are teams on him earlier than this, and I think his floor is somewhere in the 20s, so there's still a wide range of landing spots for him. This is probably the floor if either Kurtz or Tibbs makes it this far, and this is the first spot Malcolm Moore is a distinct option. Florida prep SS Kellon Lindsey is a potential well-under slot option as I think the Cubs are mostly looking at upside position players. I'm hearing they are on Florida prep C Hunter Carns in the second or third round and prep 3B Chase Harlan, if he makes it to their second pick.
15. Seattle Mariners
Trey Yesavage, RHP, East Carolina
This is likely as far as Yesavage will last, and I think the Mariners are on mostly high school players other than him. This is perceived to be Caminiti's floor, as well, while Kash Mayfield, the other top prep lefty, is also in play here. This is prep infielder Theo Gillen's first real landing spot, and he's a genuine threat to be Seattle's pick.
16. Miami Marlins
Seaver King, SS, Wake Forest
I think the Marlins are looking at taking what the board gives them at this point, which is college position players. For this pick, that's Christian Moore, Waldschmidt and King, who is the only one left in this scenario. They are also eyeing high school position players as backup/underslot options if things don't go to plan here, which would also give them the potential to spend their savings/overage at their next two picks.
For later picks, I'm hearing prep shortstops Johnson, Tyson Lewis and Sawyer Farr are options, as is prep outfielder P.J. Morlando.
17. Milwaukee Brewers
Carson Benge, CF, Oklahoma State
I'm hearing Milwaukee is on Benge at this pick and he fits their type of hitter: up-the-middle fit, contact first, with some doable minor swing/approach adjustments to make. Rocket-armed righty Brody Brecht fits the Brewers' stuff-first approach on pitching (I think he's the second option at this pick), as does prep righty William Schmidt. College position players Malcolm Moore and Kaelen Culpepper also come up as candidates here. For later picks, prep SS Luke Dickerson comes up along with the players I mocked to them.
18. Tampa Bay Rays
Cameron Smith, 3B, Florida State
Tampa Bay is normally pretty open on player demographics, but the Rays have had a bias toward bigger power-based hitters, particularly at high picks. The board is giving them college position players and (somewhat) local product Smith fits their type. Kellon Lindsey, another local product, is another target. This is also as far as Caminiti would likely last, but I'm not sure if any of the other prep pitchers would be real options here. Mississippi State's Jurrangelo Cijntje starts to be an option around here and for the next half dozen picks.
19. New York Mets
Brody Brecht, RHP, Iowa
The Mets are believed to be targeting big tools and outstanding athletic testing types, so William Schmidt, Brecht, Mayfield and Whitney fit that on the pitching side while Honeycutt, Griff O'Ferrall, Dakota Jordan and Tyson Lewis fit on the position player side, with Whitney and Lewis possibly making it to the Mets' next pick.
20. Toronto Blue Jays
Malcolm Moore, C, Stanford
The Jays are mostly on college players with Brecht, Malcolm Moore, Tommy White, Billy Amick and Walker Janek mentioned most often, while Gillen is the prep player who's rumored to be in the mix. I have the Jays taking Canadian-born prep infielder Brendan Lawson with their next pick and Louisiana SS Kyle DeBarge is another option who is rising quickly down the stretch.
21. Minnesota Twins
Theo Gillen, 2B, Westlake (Texas) HS
Gillen is the consensus third-best prep position player and he'll probably go in the 15-25 area, with a lot of teams picking in that range showing interest. Braylon Doughty is the most rumored prep arm here, while Wyatt Sanford and Slade Caldwell are the most mentioned prep position players. The college group includes Brecht, Benge and DeBarge, along with catchers Caleb Lomavita and Walker Janek.
22. Baltimore Orioles
Kaelen Culpepper, SS, Kansas State
This is probably the floor for Benge, Waldschmidt and Cam Smith and is one of the first serious spots for Culpepper, Amick, Lewis or Honeycutt. Lindsey is an under-the-radar name, and keep an eye on Zack Stewart as a later option for Baltimore.
23. Los Angeles Dodgers
Kash Mayfield, LHP, Elk City (Okla.) HS
Mayfield has been tied here for a while as one of the stronger team-player connections in the back half of the first round. Cijntje is a leading option here, as well. Caldwell and Lindsey also come up.
24. Atlanta Braves
Jurrangelo Cijntje, RHP/LHP, Mississippi State
This is seen as the floor for the switch-pitching phenom Cijntje. King, Doughty, O'Ferrall, Waldschmidt and Benge are other common connections here.
25. San Diego Padres
Kellon Lindsey, SS, Hardee (Fla.) HS
As usual, the Padres are connected to almost entirely high school players, and especially heavily on prep pitching. Caminiti has long been a San Diego target but it's unlikely he gets near here, and this is probably also Mayfield's floor. Two more prep lefties David Shields and Boston Bateman are more likely targets for the Padres' next pick than here, while Gage Jump, a former prep lefty target years ago who is now at LSU, also fits there. Lewis is another prep shortstop mentioned here.
26. New York Yankees
Caleb Lomavita, C, Cal
Lomavita and all of the college catchers in play for the first round have a very wide range of potential landing spots. Lomavita could go as high as 11th and as low as the early 30s, with Malcolm Moore and Walker Janek having similarly wide possibilities, likely not helped by the three college catchers in play for the second round. Benge, Amick, Doughty, Jonathan Santucci, Dante Nori and Bateman are mentioned most often at this pick and the next one for the Yankees.
27. Philadelphia Phillies
Vance Honeycutt, CF, North Carolina
I continue to have trouble finding an actual landing spot for Honeycutt despite his hot finish to the season and enormous upside because so many teams steer away from in-zone miss concerns on college position players. The Phillies are not afraid to lean into risk though, taking hitters with tools but some swing-and-miss concerns or pitchers with big stuff but command questions. Prep OF P.J. Morlando, along with college infielders Amick and White also fit here. Philly could also lean into what has been working for the franchise and jump on the prep right-hander demographic before those players get snapped up in the comp round.
28. Houston Astros
Dakota Jordan, RF, Mississippi State
The Astros are kicking the tires on some prep position players but are believed to be heavily leaning toward college position players for this pick. GM Dana Brown was seen scouting Jordan and DeBarge at conference tournaments, with those two and Virginia SS Griff O'Ferrall the leading candidates for this pick. Houston is also considering prep righties here, eyeing William Schmidt and Ryan Sloan.
29. Arizona Diamondbacks
Walker Janek, C, Sam Houston State
Arizona's three picks close together are a hot spot because every agent I've spoken to thinks at least one of their clients is in play for one of these three picks -- either for above or below slot. Janek and O'Ferrall are solid values who should stop with Arizona's picks while Sanford is another player with lots of spots to land in the dozen or so picks leading up to this. Johnson and Lewis are two other prep shortstops in play at these picks for the D-backs. Culpepper and Lindsey are off the board in this scenario but also fit here if available. Gillen could be an option to take down here if he lasts on the board long enough, with rumors that prep shortstops Luke Dickerson or Sawyer Farr could be the underslot complement to an overslot play here. Taking Gillen or jumping the market on prep righties with William Schmidt and/or Ryan Sloan would be the leading options for overslot maneuvering.
30. Texas Rangers
Tommy White, 3B, LSU
For different reasons than Honeycutt, I'm also having trouble finding landing spots for Tommy Tanks. The bear case is he's a pro first baseman who chases out of the zone too often and might not get to his power in pro ball because of it. The bull case is he has improved at third base and raked since the first moment scouts saw him as a prep underclassman in Florida, so what more is he supposed to do? He's in play as high as No. 12 and at a couple spots in the 20s, but this is around the area where he's just too good to let pass, even if he isn't your preferred type of player. This is the floor for Malcolm Moore and a hot spot for Johnson and Lewis. Texas also has the option, in this scenario, to take the first prep righty, and they seem to prefer Sloan to Schmidt.
