Jonathan Mayo from MLB Pipeline has a brand new mock draft up with just over two weeks until the Pittsburgh Pirates make the first overall selection on July 9th. This is the first mock draft from Pipeline that doesn’t have the Pirates selecting LSU outfielder Dylan Crews.
After his big performance during the College World Series on Thursday night, Paul Skenes is now the Pipeline selection for the Pirates. The LSU right-handed pitcher threw eight shutout innings against Wake Forest on two hits, one walk and nine strikeouts.
LSU now takes on Florida in the best-of-three championship series.
