The first three position players chosen in the 2020 MLB draft could all be infielders.
Arizona State's Spencer Torkelson and Vanderbilt's Austin Martin are believed to be the top two picks, while New Mexico State's Nick Gonzales is generating top-five buzz.
Gonzales is the top middle infielder in the draft class and should be a good fit for teams siding with collegiate talent.
The trio of top infielders should have an advantage over high school prospects since teams have a larger scouting profile to work from.
Additionally, the lack of a high school season in most parts of the United States may persuade franchises to go with more experienced bats over players who lost a year of development at a younger age.
