The MLB Draft is now two days away, and I feel that I have put together my most comprehensive draft list to date. As video continues to be more readily available on players in college and high school spring seasons, I have managed to take a look at most every major name on any national draft list to compile my own. Additionally, I have been able to work more collegiate names into the bottom half of this list to avoid filling the final 200 with raw prep names that aren’t likely to sign.
One of my biggest observations this year on the 2018 class is that the curveball is back in a big way. It starts with Carter Stewart, the top prep pitcher in this year’s crop, but you can find plus curves getting selected throughout day two. With the heavy emphasis on spin, you will see less sinker-slider guys this time and more straighter four-seam to overhand curve guys. Naturally, this is likely to be cyclical, and teams will find a reason to bring back the big running sinker.
This is the deepest class I have evaluated in doing the top 200, and though the very top might not be heavy in bonafide stars, there is ample depth of high upside prepsters and quick moving collegans. The college pitching class is especially deep in first day selections that both have big stuff and solid performances. Casey Mize tops my list, like most lists, but I don’t necessarily see ace in his profile, so I can see why Detroit might be open to exploring other options. At the end of the day, he is probably the safest big league arm at the top of the draft, so he heads a list with no surefire superstar.
If this class has a weakness, I would suggest it would be at shortstop, where the top prep Brice Turang fits better in the back third of the first round, and the top collegian (assuming a team doesn’t try Nick Madrigal at the position) is Jeremy Eierman, who might profile better at second or third. Most of the collegiate shortstops in the top half of the board are better fits at second, so it’s not a great year if you need quick moving help at the position.
Though not quite up to last season’s numbers, this class has plenty of 70 to 80 grade speedsters, though most of them this year can’t add power to the equation like some of the prepsters last year. Additionally, the catching class tends to leave you picking defense or offense, with few offering both.
I will address more Dodger specific talent when I release my 10-round mock this weekend, but the Dodgers should still be able to add meaningful talent to the system despite not picking until 30th overall, and having no additional picks in the sandwich or compensation rounds.
With that said, here is my current top 200, with the chance for a slight revision by Monday if any new information arises. The biggest name not on this list might be Indiana Hoosier RHP Jonathan Stiever, who I could not find film on, but he’s considered a 3rd-6th round arm. I’ve also chosen to leave RHP Mike Vasil on my list despite his withdrawal from the draft for future referencing. If you have any questions about the list or the players, feel free to ask.
