I love the MLB Draft, which is a weird sentence to write because the MLB Draft is universally regarded as the most anti-climactic of all the professional sports drafts. It’s just reading names that will likely never amount to much of anything and putting them in the clutches of organization they will probably never play for at the highest level spread out over three days because why not? The MLB Draft is a case study in futility.
Yet still, I love the draft because I love college baseball almost more than the professional game (note the almost), and it’s endlessly fun to see guys younger than me put up bonkers stats and mortgage their future on the minor league system.
