On May 5, Jim Callis released an updated version of his mock draft for MLB’s website. As the names get shuffled, intrigue remains high since the Pittsburgh Pirates and their intrepid leader Ben Cherington have the first overall pick.
Although the timeline for Cherington thus far has been somewhat abnormal, it appears that many fans are at least mildly pleased with the moves he’s made to this point. Now comes the big one: Cherington and Co. are gearing up to make the first overall pick in this year’s 2021 amateur draft, slated to begin on July 11.
