The MLB Draft has come and gone with the blink of an eye, we once again go back to life without baseball.
This year’s draft was one for the ages. Each of the first seven selections, as well as eleven out of the first fourteen, were college athletes. That compares to just last year where three of the top six athletes selected, were drafted straight out of high school.
Many teams were not comfortable with using their first-round pick on a player that was unable to finish his final year of high school baseball. It appears that many baseball teams, unlike the Boston Red Sox who selected a high schooler, were more focused on drafting players that had success at the collegiate level.
