The 2023 MLB Draft is almost four months away, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have any mock drafts yet. Baseball America has their first mock for the 2023 MLB Draft out, and they are currently projecting the Rangers going with a college righthanded pitcher for the third year in a row.
The Rangers, who have the #4 overall pick thanks to the new lottery system that was implemented, take University of Tennessee righthanded pitcher Chase Dollander in this initial BA mock. Dollander is considered arguably the top arm in this year’s draft, and is currently second on the BA board, behind LSU outfielder Dylan Crews.
