A lot can change in the lead up to the MLB draft. Even when it comes to the No. 1 overall pick, when teams have had months to make their decision on which player to take, there isn’t always a consensus. Just last year, the Minnesota Twins surprised everyone by taking shortstop Royce Lewis first overall (or “1-1” as you may see us denote that pick in future draft articles). Mock drafts had gone in several other directions, showing us all that predicting the MLB draft can be damn near impossible.
Now that the Detroit Tigers are involved, everyone seems to agree on one thing: Auburn righthander Casey Mize is the clear frontrunner to go 1-1.
