Draft Prospect Watch: Checking Out One of the Top College Hitters

Except for the last mock draft, which had the Pittsburgh Pirates going for a high school bat, they have been connected to a college bat over and over in mock drafts this spring. Our last Draft Prospect Watch article looked at Kevin Parada, a college catcher (that link has links to our first nine articles of this series). For this article subject, I decided to just pick the highest ranked player by MLB Pipeline who hasn’t been here before and feature him. Using that method, we landed on LSU 3B/OF/DH Jacob Berry, who they rank seventh overall.
