The countdown is on. Five days until the 2025 MLB Draft.

If this draft wasn’t murky enough at the top already, there was added drama on Sunday when the Washington Nationals fired general manager Mike Rizzo one week prior to making the first selection.

Though the Nationals had not come to a final decision and still have a handful or so options for the top pick, it threw a wrench into the industry perception of what could happen at 1-1 and the implications it could have throughout the first couple picks, but we’ll get into that in a minute.

Teams are in the middle of or just beginning their final full staff draft meetings either in in-house war rooms or rented out ball rooms at Marriott’s.

They’ll compare evaluation notes from the spring (and the fall, summer and seasons before), medical records, private workout likes and dislikes (tends to come from data attained), late-season performance and MLB Combine data which holds more value for kids beyond the first round.

Bonus demands are shared and countered throughout the week leading to potential shakeups at the top, with rumored record bonuses moving the needle on a pair of prospects.

Away from finances, the prospect pool didn’t do much to separate itself near the end of the year with around 12 players who could sneak around the top of the draft board.

One name skyrocketing towards the middle of the first-round and some top 10 chatter is Arkansas’ right-handed pitcher Gage Wood, who as you’ll remember, struck out 19 in a no-hitter against Murray State in the College World Series. The performance was loud, while the arsenal has always been just as loud, but answering some health concerns has put him as RHP2 for most clubs behind Kyson Witherspoon (Oklahoma), and alongside Tyler Bremner (UC-Santa Barbara).

With the lack of college bats, there may be some that are taken above the consensus industry perception as a commodity pick. Prep shortstops should scatter the first and second round as the premium of the draft class.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This mock draft is not a self-reflection or personal rankings or an opinion from Taylor Blake Ward or The Sporting Tribune but is instead a report from information gathered from industry sources to provide what is believed to be the outcome of the 2025 MLB Draft.

1. Washington Nationals – Kade Anderson, LHP, LSU

One week out and it wasn’t very clear who the Nationals had here… and then… they fired Mike Rizzo.

Sunday’s firing of Rizzo had bewildering timing, especially for a general manager so entrenched in the scouting cycle and decision-making.

Though the news is fresh, quick fliers sent out Sunday and Monday made it seem like the Nationals philosophy won’t alter much with most assuming this pick will fall on the scouting department still connected to Rizzo.

The Oklahoma prep shortstops of Eli Willits and Ethan Holliday are two of the perceived trio leading the push for 1-1 consideration. Willits had a reasonably public multi-day private workout with the Nationals, while Holliday was spotted at a Nationals road game sitting in Scott Boras’ dugout suite at Angel Stadium — though that is believed to be more of a move by Boras as opposed to either club (Angels pick at No. 2) having much concern.

The relationship between Rizzo and Boras can’t go ignored but might not be as prominent as it would have been before the weekend and might only hold some merit for past comfortability for the remaining staff. Holliday is a Boras client, as is Kade Anderson who is the third of three perceived as front runners for 1-1.

Despite the relationship, it isn’t believed there was a handshake deal for either Holliday or Anderson here and it is still an open pick between the trio mentioned, Seth Hernandez and Aiva Arquette (also a Boras client).

Money will have some importance, but probably not as much as my long-winded comments from the last mock. Even if the Nationals offered a record-setting bonus of $9.3 million to anyone (they won’t), they’d still be nearly $1.8 million under slot.

The 75% guaranteed slot bonus for players who attended the MLB Draft Combine and turned in their medical records would still give the signing player a hair over $8.3 million at minimum, which would be the seventh largest bonus in draft history. Of note: Anderson, Holliday and Willits did not attend the Combine.

It’s reasonable to believe no matter who the Nationals select; the club will be saving over $2 million in bonus pool funds.

Sticking more with instinct from before the weekend and Rizzo firing with the club going for the players who fits their competitive window a bit better, leaning Anderson here, but it feels tight at the top.

Playing percentages per usual: Anderson 33.5%, Holliday 32.5%, Willits 20%, Hernandez 7.5%, Arquette 4.5%, Field 2%.

2. Los Angeles Angels – Liam Doyle, LHP, Tennessee

Basic perception is the Angels pick will be relatively simple. They’ll take whichever of the quick-moving college southpaws is available with bonus demands moving the needle in the direction of one over the other.

Anderson seems to be the preference if available, but Boras won’t be cutting any deals, and the Angels would reportedly be happy to pivot to Liam Doyle who they’ve been linked to since the start of spring. It’s believed Doyle is above Jamie Arnold on their board.

Unconventional for this Angels group, they have surprising interest in high school hitters.

They did a lot of homework this spring on Willits who has plenty of traction here, and whose father spent his entire six-year big league career with the Halos.

I don’t think they’d go for Holliday despite taking extensive looks at him through the spring, and would prefer a prep with a superior hit tool (and less costly) in the likes of JoJo Parker or Kayson Cunningham, though I don’t believe they’d take either at pick No. 2.

There’s plenty of noise about them trying to cut a deal and swing a big fish like Cunningham or Daniel Pierce to pick No. 47 with a bonus of four bills or higher.

Playing this a bit conservative with a quick-mover until given a reason not to and I’d lean 80% into the Angels taking a quick-moving lefty here.

3. Seattle Mariners – Aiva Arquette, SS, Oregon State

A lot seems to hinge on Anderson, who might be the favorite for picks one, two and three. Though this is a bit speculative, his bonus demands could sneak towards record-setting due to the likelihood he’ll land a top three selection and Seattle’s slot being just over $9.5 million, giving him and Boras a bonus floor.

While Anderson likely headlines the big board, the M’s decision makers have made public comments about how divided the war room may be on this class. Arnold, Arquette, Hernandez and Willits round out what is the perceived handful of players still heavily linked to this pick.

Arquette is arguably as well liked as Anderson by the decision-makers which makes him the clearer choice to mock, but the internal comments about Hernandez are hard to ignore even with Jerry Dipoto’s disinclination for taking a prep right-hander in the first-round.

Similar to the Angels, there are discount rumors floating around late in the process with Seattle, but without much credence for the team with the largest bonus pool. Parker once again comes up in this conversation, as does Gavin Fien as a massive discount, though I’m not biting.

4. Colorado Rockies – Ethan Holliday, SS, Stillwater HS (OK)

If Holliday doesn’t go first overall, this is his landing spot.

It’s been a connection throughout the spring, and though St. Louis would like a crack at Holliday (Papa Matt played eight years in STL, and six in Denver), it sounds like Colorado would be willing to near record-setting bonus territory to make this happen.

If Holliday does go first overall, Arquette and Anderson would be next in line on the preference list. If that trio goes 1-2-3 in some fashion, I think Colorado would pivot to Doyle or Arnold, but I’m unsure which of the pair they’d prefer.

They did deep dives on Hernandez over the spring, and it may be hard to pass on that kind of arm talent for a club who can only acquire top end pitching via amateur acquisitions.

5. St. Louis Cardinals – Jamie Arnold, LHP, Florida State

The Cardinals would love a shot at Anderson of Holliday, but you have to assume they won’t be granted a chance at that with Seattle being the perceived floor for Anderson and Colorado being the public floor for Holliday.

Arnolds get almost as much run here as the pair mentioned above, though prep hitters like Willits and Parker also get attention. If Arnold, and I should mention Doyle as well, fall beyond the top five they may not have suitors until the back end of the top 10.

Once draft day actually comes around and is here-and-gone, there will be a team who discounted a pick in the top 10 whether it be Los Angeles, Seattle, St. Louis or another; but St. Louis has just as many rumors floating around as does the others ahead of them with Ike Irish being a popular name.

This remains the first spot I’ve heard the name Marek Houston attached, but I’m leery, at best, to believe he’d land this far up the board.

6. Pittsburgh Pirates – Billy Carlson, SS, Corona HS (CA)

Billy Carlson has been attached to this pick through the spring and it’s hard to go adjust my better judgement and put someone else here, such as I did in the last mock.

Willits is in play still, and Arquette might supersede Carlson if available.

This is near the end of Willits’ range of 1-7, and near the beginning of Carlson’s range of 5-13.

With how often they were in to see Carlson, Pittsburgh saw plenty of Hernandez and I would not be stunned if they pivoted from the expected shortstop to capitalize on upside from the top prep arm; and for whatever my two cents is worth, the best arm in the class.

7. Miami Marlins – Eli Willits, SS, Fort Cobb-Broxton HS (OK)

Prep shortstops continue to be the hot topic with Miami. Even with some mix-up in the picks ahead, Miami should have their pick of at least one of Willits, Carlson or Parker. Preference seems to be Willits, which favors them in this mock.

Prep shortstops are going to dominate parts of the first-round and will probably go in succession at some stage of the draft, with picks 5-8 and 12-16 being focal points.

Fien is once again a sleeper under slot option here.

8. Toronto Blue Jays – JoJo Parker, SS, Purvis HS (MS)

Most local scouts don’t see Carlson getting past this pick, but many of those same scouts say the same about picks 6, 12 and 13 so it’s hard to believe which of those landing spots will be the real one (obviously, I picked No. 6).

Parker has less of a chance than Carlson does of falling out of the top 10, particularly, with Chicago at No. 10 where they may have interest in drafting his twin brother, Jacob, later in the draft.

Cunningham may not get the notoriety his prep counterparts receive, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Toronto had him highest among the group and snatched him here.

If one of the lefties falls in the likes of Arnold or Doyle, Toronto could be a good landing spot. They also might be one of the first landing spots for the top right-handed collegiate arm in Kyson Witherspoon who has sneaky fits and rumors all across the top 10.

9. Cincinnati Reds – Seth Hernandez, RHP, Corona HS (CA)

Hernandez is tough to place despite some scouts and clubs having the strong opinion he is the best arm — and in some cases, best prospect — in the draft class and being an anomaly to the right-handed prep arm rule in the likes of Jackson Jobe and Hunter Greene; while other clubs just outright won’t take players from his demographic this high in the draft, or view him as the ordinary top prep righty.

Cincinnati is part of the former group and would like to push him past picks three and six, which has a reasonably fair outcome probability. They may also be the most inclined to offer him a demographic record bonus of $7 million.

If not Hernandez, they could target his Corona teammate Carlson or target toolsy, up-the-middle athletes — maybe in the likes of Jace LaViolette.

Other names that have come up here are the top college right-handers in Witherspoon and Tyler Bremner.

10. Chicago White Sox – Kayson Cunningham, SS, Johnson HS (TX)

The Parker twins (JoJo and Jacob) had outstanding workouts with Chicago in early June, and though it’s not believed there is a handshake deal in place, the White Sox might be the club to pull the trigger on the pair as early as the first three rounds.

Chicago seems to be the floor for any potential faller from the college southpaw or top-tier prep shortstops and would love a chance at Doyle or Arnold, or Parker or Carlson.

I played it fairly conservative through the first nine picks and didn’t lob in any surprise under slot deals, so the chance of a faller landing here isn’t egregious.

Cunningham is next in line for the prep shortstops, though it’s hard to see Witherspoon or Irish not landing in the first 10 picks.

Bremner once again kind of sneaks his way into this pick, which more indicates his range starts here or the pick above.

11. Athletics – Ike Irish, C/OF, Auburn

Quick-moving collegiates are the most frequently mentioned names attached to the A’s, which makes sense following the success of Jacob Wilson and Nick Kurtz — and to a lesser degree, Daniel Susac.

Irish is the most notable and frequent prospect mentioned as a “deal cutter” in the top 10, which was a hot rumor even before not turning in his medical records at the MLB Draft Combine which brought his bonus price down quite a bit. He’ll still likely garner $5-6 million which fits the A’s range, but I’d be a bit surprised if he wasn’t taken ahead of this — as both a discount prospect and the second-best college position player.

Witherspoon and Bremner would fit here as quick-moving arms to counter the quick-moving bats like Irish; while Brendan Summerhill and Gavin Kilen are the other most likely college hitters, with Kilen being the closer of the pair to the big leagues.

Contact rates are going to drive much of this model.

One sneaky name here is Ethan Conrad.

12. Texas Rangers – Steele Hall, SS, Hewitt-Trussville HS (AL)

This would be the floor for Carlson, and floor for Parker if he were to get past Chicago.

Prep shortstops get the most run here and may have another short run through the next four picks. Any already mentioned, as well as Pierce, Fien and Steele Hall all have attention at this pick.

It would be hard for any team to pass up on Witherspoon at this point, and it should be worth mentioning he is just my natural faller in this mock.

13. San Francisco Giants – Kyson Witherspoon, RHP, Oklahoma

I see zero chance of Carlson of Parker falling past the Giants, but as noted, I see near-zero chance either get this far anyways.

“Fearless” was a word used to describe the Giants philosophy towards this draft, which I’m still trying to wrap my head around and figure out, but maybe it leans towards a big upside gamble off the board a bit? LaViolette? Wehiwa Aloy? Kruz Schoolcroft? I genuinely don’t know and can only assume.

Aside from the fearless comment, college bats run the rumor mill here, followed by second-tier prep shortstops.

Irish, Summerhill, Kilen, LaViolette, Aloy, Marek Houston and the likes; along with Cunningham, Hall, Pierce.

Fien’s range really starts here and I fully expect him to be selected somewhere between 13-16.

Witherspoon is just too hard an arm to pass on by this stage of the draft.

14. Tampa Bay Rays – Gavin Kilen, 2B, Tennessee

The previously mentioned shortstops of Cunningham and Hall lead most of the rumors with Tampa, while a falling arm might be enticing. This is one of the high marks for Gage Wood.

Kilen’s range is between 10-20 and there have been previous links to Tampa, where a bit of money could be saved.

Josh Hammond is a helium name I’ve started to hear here specifically, but his range starts around 22 and after. The Rays have picks at No. 37 and No. 42 and could try and swing a prep option (or two) down with a near $5 million in combined bonus funds.

15. Boston Red Sox – Tyler Bremner, RHP, UC-Santa Barbara

It’s hard to move past the noise on Fien, but also hard to ignore what Boston did last year in the draft with pitching and aversion to preps.

I still think Fien is very much in play, as would be Cunningham or Hall.

With Boston running so much of their development through philosophy and overhauling their pitching philosophy, it’s not surprising to hear names like Witherspoon, Bremner and Wood come up here.

A handful of college bats also get mentioned in the likes of Irish, Kilen and Summerhill.

16. Minnesota Twins – Gavin Fien, SS, Great Oak HS (CA)

Admittedly in my last mock, if I didn’t have Fien with the Red Sox, I’d have him here. This time, I have him here.

Minnesota was all over Fien this spring, and I don’t see a reason to move away from instinct.

Most of the other names here are collegiates like Summerhill, LaViolette and Houston.

Once again, Wood is mentioned here, and I think he’ll get taken somewhere between picks 13-20.

17. Chicago Cubs – Gage Wood, RHP, Arkansas

Looking at collegiates all around this range and into the 20’s. I’ve heard pitching here and Wood or Bremner would be the most sensible. If neither are available, they’d lean towards power in Aloy or LaViolette.

18. Arizona Diamondbacks – Brendan Summerhill, OF, Arizona

Arizona definitely has a “type” when it comes to hitters, and luckily for them, this draft is filled with that type.

Slater de Brun is going to be the name that consistently pops here from a mental concept because he shares so many similar traits to previous DBacks picks.

Cunningham and Hall also fit the mold, but as you’ve read, they are not available.

Summerhill, Houston, Kilen and Caden Bodine all fit the Arizona mold from the college side and could help push a prep bat to their next pick at No. 29, but all also have suitors ahead of this. This is more range based where anyone mentioned could fall or be gone from 10-20.

19. Baltimore Orioles – Jace LaViolette, OF, Texas A&M

LaViolette and Xavier Neyens get the most run here, with the latter potentially being pushed to pick No. 30 (or No. 31, Baltimore has both).

Mike Elias loves power with positional value, so if LaViolette is off the board he may pivot to someone like Aloy.

Despite a down year, LaViolette still has a lot of suitors in the late teens and 20’s.

I mocked Houston here a few weeks back and would still have some confidence this is where he lands on Sunday afternoon.

No pitchers. Just hitters.

20. Milwaukee Brewers – Marek Houston, SS, Wake Forest

This feels like the floor for a handful of guys, which means it’s not the floor for at least one of them.

It’s mostly the high-contact hitters like Houston, Summerhill, Kilen, etc. with a solid chance one falls.

Hall, Cunningham, Fien would fit the “floor” range, while Pierce hasn’t been mentioned as much, and seems to be a prep shortstop being floated to the comp rounds.

Model darlings like Bodine, de Brun and Conrad (despite Conrad’s injury) might jump off the page for a model-based team like Milwaukee.

21. Houston Astros – Wehiwa Aloy, SS, Arkansas

Neyens gets a lot of traction here, but he might be outpriced for Houston who has the fourth smallest bonus pool and other teams potentially looking to swing him down a tick.

I’m not sure that would take Houston entirely out, but it leans me towards the Astros recent philosophy of offensive-minded collegiates like Aloy or others already mentioned.

I think Houston would love a shot at Gage Wood.

22. Atlanta Braves – Riley Quick, RHP, Alabama

It’s mostly arms mentioned with Atlanta, which should come as no surprise.

They’d love a crack at Wood, just like the two teams ahead of them.

Other college arms like Zach Root, Patrick Forbes and Anthony Eyanson are in play, as is top prep southpaw Kruz Schoolcroft.

I wouldn’t rule out a bat, though, Hammond or local product Pierce in particular.

23. Kansas City Royals – Kruz Schoolcroft, LHP, Sunset HS (OR)

Schoolcroft is going to come at a price and though his range sits between 22-25 with flurried suitors elsewhere, it’s going to take a team with a surplus of bonus pool fundage to lure him away from Tennessee. Brian Bridges loves his prep lefties, and there is sincere interest.

It sounds like the Royals will double down on preps here and at pick No. 28. Pierce once again gets skipped, while his bonus may push him to the comp round, or he could go… (see next pick)

24. Detroit Tigers – Daniel Pierce, SS, Mill Creek HS (GA)

One name deeply linked to Detroit is Cunningham. He’s long gone in this iteration, but it’s enough noise to think Detroit could attempt pricing him down.

Pierce could go anywhere from the early teens to the comp round, and would be a value pick here. With the connections to prep shortstops, he fits here more than hearing a clear connection. High-contact lefty swingers like de Brun and Sean Gamble are mentioned here.

Josh Owens is a sleeper pick for Detroit but might be a second-round option.

25. San Diego Padres – Sean Gamble, OF, IMG Academy (FL)

Hammond, de Brun and Mitchell are mentioned frequently here. With the third smallest bonus pool, you might be able to rule them out on Schoolcroft and Pierce, though they’d probably be tempted by the latter. Same could be said for Neyens who might be swayed to the comp picks.

Brandon Compton is a name that popped late for San Diego, but I’ll continue to lean prep with the Friars.

26. Philadelphia Phillies – Ryan Mitchell, SS, Houston HS (TN)

Same names as the Tigers and Padres. Pierce would be the big ticket.

Mitchell has a lot of steam towards the back half of the 20’s.

27. Cleveland Guardians – Caden Bodine, C, Coastal Carolina

High-contact hitters with a solid wood bat track record are the hot ticket for Cleveland. Sticking to my guns on Bodine over guys like Andrew Fischer and Conrad who get tabbed here; based on positional value and injury history.

First mention of Anthony Eyanson comes up here, along with plenty of preps who are more speculative age/model-driven names that may or may not hold much credence.

PROSPECT PROMOTION INCENTIVE PICK:

28. Kansas City Royals – Josh Hammond, SS, Wesleyan Academy (NC)

The Royals connection to Hammond is deep enough to believe he’d be an option at No. 23 so they can skip him over potential suitors from there to here. His name pops up as early at No. 14, so it would take some financial pull to swing him, and Kansas City has that kind of pull doubling down on preps at 23 and 28.

FREE AGENT COMPENSATION PICKS:

29. Arizona Diamondbacks – Slater de Brun, OF, Summit HS (OR)

Another prep who might be hard to swing into the late 20’s, this is almost as obvious as the Holliday and Rockies connection. College bats get thrown around here as money savers, but I kind of flipped the draft around in Arizona’s case where they get a high-end prep they’re connected to while saving money up front with a top college bat.

30 and 31. Baltimore Orioles – Xavier Neyens, 3B, Mount Vernon HS (WA); Cam Cannarella, OF, Clemson

I’ve heard Baltimore will split these picks with a college bat and upside prep bat — still no pitchers. As noted at No. 19, they have a solid chance of using some bonus muscle to swing Neyens down to one of these picks with a late teen slot bonus. College options thrown around here either have solid power or plate discipline markers (or both) in the likes of Cannarella, Fischer, Conrad, Max Belyeu and Devin Taylor.

32. Milwaukee Brewers – Andrew Fischer, 3B, Tennessee

It’s hard to believe the Brewers won’t have a prep at either 20 or 32, or both, based on last year’s events but being able to land the most balanced pro-ready bat in the class would be hard to pass on. Aside from not having much defensive value, Fischer’s bat feels like it should be much higher than this, maybe even in the teens. My last mock had Conrad to the Brewers at 20 and he’s still available here, which I’m just noting to keep in mind.

COMPETITIVE BALANCE ROUND A

33. Boston Red Sox – Brady Ebel, SS, Corona HS (CA)

This feels like one of the few places that Corona High School (CA) can make history as a prep program with three first-round picks in the same class. I made the connection to Ebel and the Red Sox in my last mock and am holding the pattern for now, though I’m starting to think they’ll be college heavy with a focus on capitalizing on market inefficiencies.

34. Detroit Tigers – Ethan Conrad, OF, Wake Forest

Some of the prep shortstops I mentioned for Detroit at No. 24 would still be available here: Kilby, Owens, and maybe add in the likes of Tate Southisene, Coy James and Nick Becker. It’s a widely cast net on the demographic and they’re bound to get one or more of the prep shortstops.

Prep lefties came up here a few weeks ago but I’ve heard less-and-less of that. Cam Appenzeller and Briggs McKenzie were at the top of that list.

Conrad’s early-season shoulder surgery put a wrench in his draft stock that might have seen him near the top of the class, and while his range is massive, his tools and wood bat performance still make him as alluring as most others in the class. He’ll be a solid get for anyone picking in the comp rounds if he falls that far.

35. Seattle Mariners – Coy James, SS, Davie County HS (NC)

If Seattle is capable of taking a big swing at No. 3 with either Anderson or Hernandez, I’d assume a college arm here at a discount. If it is indeed Arquette, like it is in this iteration, I could them targetting a prep hitter and potentially trying to swing one of the top prep bats down to 35. It just didn’t pan out in this mock because I played it conservatively but don’t be surprised if a Cunningham or Hall or Pierce fell here. Neyens would be a popular local fit with Seattle.

36. Minnesota Twins – Luke Stevenson, C, North Carolina

Power bats on the college side. They are also candidates for swinging a mid-teens pick prep bat down. Stevenson, Compton, Devin Taylor and Ethan Petry all fit the mold and get some flags raised here.

37. Tampa Bay Rays – Tate Southisene, SS, Basic HS (NV)

Too many demographics and players get mentioned here. Southisene comes up more than others but I’m openly not very confident with this pick.

38. New York Mets – Mason Neville, OF, Oregon

The Mets continue to be rumored to toolsy college performers. Neville led the nation in home runs and offers some defensive value as a center fielder, while someone like Kyle Lodise — who hit his way to becoming a Golden Spikes finalist — would also fit the mold. I’ve left some college pitchers off the board, which may be a mistake on my end since they’ll be such a commodity but just haven’t been able to place them despite some connections — Eyanson in particular in this range.

39. New York Yankees – Zach Root, LHP, Arkansas

The college arms are mentioned more frequently here than ahead of this, though it would be hard to pass on some of the cost-efficient left-handed power gambles here like Taylor. Josiah Hartshorn is a sleeper with the pinstripes, but probably not here.

40 and 41. Los Angeles Dodgers – Patrick Forbes, RHP, Louisville; Quentin Young, IF/OF, Oaks Christian HS (CA)

Splitting this with a falling talent from the college side and a notable prep of interest. I mentioned in the lack mock that the Dodgers have a tendency to take a player who had a higher perceived draft stock early in the process and eventually fell, with hopes of getting back to that upside. Back-to-back mocks with Forbes here for that reason.

They also have strong interest in local product Young, the nephew of Delmon and Dmitri. The southpaws of McKenzie and Appenzeller do come up here as well, along with college lefty J.D. Thompson.

Mentioned in the last mock, I think they have a form of interest in Ebel — whose father in the team’s third base coach — but they won’t force the issue on taking him just to preserve some family connection. Billy Gasparino’s son was treated like any other draft prospect, as has been Dino’s kid.

42. Tampa Bay Rays – Jaden Fauske, C/OF, Nazareth Academy HS (IL)

I gave them a money-saver early for the purpose of taking upside preps later. Plenty of preps are circled around Tampa, so again, sticking with one that comes up with more frequency.

43. Miami Marlins – Briggs McKenzie, LHP, Corinth Holders HS (NC)

Preps. Going high school lefty to close it out with a lot of interesting names headed for the second round.

Alright everyone, that’ll do it. See you sometime over the weekend before Sunday, and late on Sunday for the final iterations.
