MLB Player Comparisons for Top 2021 Draft Prospects

Will the 2021 MLB draft feature the next Mike Trout? The next Jacob deGrom? The next Aaron Judge?

We won't know until several years from now, but that doesn't mean we can't make reasonable comparisons for some of the draft's top prospects based on their skills and upsides.

This year's draft seems to have a consensus top eight, headlined by prep shortstops Jordan Lawlar and Marcelo Mayer, Louisville catcher Henry Davis and Vanderbilt pitchers Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker.

That doesn't mean those players will be the first to hear their names called July 11.
