MLB Pipeline released their top 50 draft prospects for the 2019 June draft on Wednesday. Given that the Royals possess the #2 overall pick in the draft, we’ll be doing a bit of draft coverage here at Royals Review. I’m going to give some of my personal thoughts about MLB Pipeline’s list, and then some options for the Royals at #2.
MLB Pipeline’s top 13:
- Adley Rutschman, C, Oregon State
- Bobby Witt Jr., SS, Colleyville Heritage HS (TX)
- Andrew Vaughn, 1B, Cal
- Shea Langeliers, C, Baylor
- CJ Abrams, SS, Blessed Trinity Catholis HS (Georgia)
- Josh Jung, 3B, Texas Tech
- Carter Stewart, RHP, Eastern Florida State JC
- Riley Greene, OF, Hagerty HS (FL)
- Graeme Stinson, LHP, Duke
- Brennan Malone, RHP, IMG Academy (FL)
- Kameron Misner, OF, Mizzou
- Bryson Stott, SS, UNLV
- Daniel Espino, RHP, Georgia Premier Academy
You may be wondering why I chose to list the top 13 for you, and not 5/10/15 or some other round number.
