Who will the Colorado Rockies take with the ninth overall pick in this year’s draft? I asked ESPN insider and MLB draft expert Kiley McDaniel that question on Thursday. McDaniel began working with MLB teams in 2005 and he will be a signature part of ESPN’s coverage of the upcoming draft on June 10 and 11.
McDaniel told me that, in his latest mock draft, he had University of Georgia junior pitcher Emerson Hancock going to the Rockies. You can read more about Hancock and his skills here, but he is also projected by a few outlets to be the first pitcher taken in the draft.
