The Prospects Live voting block is back for the second edition of the MLB Draft Team of the Month, this time for March.

Once again, I tasked the Prospects Live Draft Team to vote on Draft-eligible players they thought should be on an All-Month awards team. This time, the voters were given a slight directive on how to vote, which was to base their selections on sentiments concluded in March, but other than that, the voters were allowed to interpret the vote as they chose. The two key differences between this voting period and the February edition were the beginning of the period and the playing sample of a full month.

1st TeamC Vahn Lackey, GT, .412 AVG, 251 OPS+, 7 HR, 3 SB

It has been a dream season for the Georgia Tech backstop. Vahn Lackey followed up a .476 AVG/4 HR/4 SB February with an even more power-filled March, and is quickly looking like a top 10 pick. From a performance perspective, March for Lackey was highlighted by a 5-game HR streak, which included his OBP-cycle + all 8 positions game versus West Georgia. The Yellow Jackets’ SOS to begin the season was weak, and it gave some concern that Lackey was beating up on poor pitching when he got off to his hot start, but that concern is no more. After performing against opponents like Clemson, NC State, and Auburn, this isn’t just a hot start anymore. Lackey is just elite.
