This was the year for the Tampa Bay Rays to select a college starting pitcher in the first round. We can clearly see, however, that the Rays saw a talent on the board that was good enough to steer them away from that strategy. Garrett Whitley, an outfielder out of Niskayuna High School in New York, drew George Springer comparisons a few weeks ago and someone dropped a Mike Trout comp on MLB Network. The upside that comes with him is unbelievable, and he might just be the player that makes people forget about previous failed Rays picks.
