When preparing this seven-round mock draft, the key was to look at the two previous drafts that Chicago White Sox amateur scouting director Nick Hostetler has orchestrated.
For pitchers, his focus is on power arms (no preference between starters and relievers); for hitters, the focus is on plate discipline. Only three prep players have been selected in the first seven rounds over the past three years : Luis Curbelo, Lency Delgado and Cabera Weaver.
Thus, I tried to keep these tendencies in mind. The picks in this mock draft 1.0 wouldn’t necessarily be my choices, but these are the types of players that Hostetler will strongly consider.
