MLB Pipeline posted a new mock draft ahead of the College World Series, which begins today. They have the Pittsburgh Pirates taking LSU outfielder Dylan Crews with the first overall pick, but there is an interesting note in the article.
Pipeline calls Crews to consensus top player in this draft class, though I don’t think he’s as far ahead of the pack as that sounds. As we have mentioned here multiple times, the top five picks in this class all have #1 overall talent according to scouts and draft experts.
LSU pitcher Paul Skenes, Florida outfielder Wyatt Langford and prep outfielders Max Clark and Walker Jenkins could all go first in an average year for draft talent.
