With just under two months until the 2023 draft class, there is still time for changes to be made at the top, but things have remained rather consistent throughout this whole process.
Recent mock drafts and prospect rankings have shown that there is a clear top five in this draft class. Depending on who you ask, there are either 1-2 tiers of players among those top five, and even the cutoff for that split isn’t agreed upon.
As a group, that top five is well ahead of the pack, so the Pittsburgh Pirates are likely making their section among LSU outfielder Dylan Crews, LSU right-handed pitcher Paul Skenes, prep outfielders Walker Jenkins and Max Clark, and Florida outfielder Wyatt Langford.
