The College World Series has come to an end, with the Tennessee Volunteers crowned national champions, and now the amateur baseball world shifts its attention to the upcoming 2024 MLB draft.
The draft kicks off on July 14 during MLB All-Star festivities, and the Cleveland Guardians will be on the clock at No. 1 overall after winning the second annual draft lottery.
Georgia outfielder Charlie Condon and Oregon State second baseman Travis Bazzana have emerged as the consensus top two prospects in the 2024 class, but that doesn't mean they will go No. 1 and No. 2 with the ever-present possibility of the Guardians cutting a below-slot deal to better utilize their bonus pool.
