MLB Draft 2019: Selection Order and Predictions for 1st-Round Baseball Prospects

The pressure is on the Baltimore Orioles Monday night to make the right decision at the top of the 2019 MLB draft.

For months, Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman has been considered the top prospect in the draft pool.

Baltimore is expected to take the junior with the No. 1 overall pick, but there is still a slight chance it throws a curveball and selects one of the other top prospects.

Regardless of which player lands No. 1, hitters are projected to dominate the start of the first round, and there is a chance a pitcher is not taken until the back end of the top 10.
