The high school baseball season will soon wind down, and the Royals could be looking to take another prep player with their #6 pick. Last year they took high school catcher Blake Mitchell, who is off to a pretty good start in Low-A Columbia this year.
The Royals could go that route again, according to the latest mock draft at MLB Pipeline this week. They have the Royals selecting prep player Konnor Griffin out of Mississippi with the #6 pick.
This seems like the first spot a high schooler could go, and new scouting director Brian Bridges does like prep bats.
