Going into the 2020 draft, we all thought we knew who the first three picks were going to go. Detroit was going to take Spencer Torkelson, Baltimore was going to take Austin Martin, and Miami was going to take Asa Lacy.
Of course though, after the first pick where Detroit took Torkelson, everyone had to tear up their mock drafts since both Baltimore and Miami went in a different direction than originally thought. This turned out to be a dream scenario for the Royals.
Due to this draft being just five rounds, a lot of MLB front-office execs also had to be strategic on who they took.
