2019 MLB Draft: Jim Callis’s latest mock draft is up, and it has the Texas Rangers going with the chalk pick, Arizona State outfielder Hunter Bishop, at the #8 spot, though he acknowledges rumors out there about the team looking at Josh Jung and Brett Baty.
We wrote up Bishop here a couple of weeks ago — he’s a toolsy player with power and a chance to stick in center field, and the consensus is that he’s in the second tier of college players, along with guys like Nick Lodolo and Alek Manoah, behind the top six players expected to go off the board.
