Mock 1.0:It’s important to not get too attached to pitchers as health is a concern, but Chase Dollander showcases all the skills you could want. Ultimate ceiling appears to drive decision-making. How the Nationals draft: Not afraid to go for upside despite risk.
Previous 1st round selections: Jackson Rutledge- RHP, Cade Cavalli- RHP, Brady House- 3B, Elijah Green, OF
Even Jacob Wilson hitting for power could be a dark horse 1:1 discussion. Could Dylan Crews, Case Dollander, and more make sense? Absolutely they could. Rather, here I just feel like Pittsburgh takes the best player for their model and calls it a day. He offers the best combination (in my opinion) of tools led by a strong hit tool and athleticism. Mock 1.0:I have Max Clark as my top overall player in the class. While that’s not a guarantee they’ll do that in 2023, it’s worth considering. In 2021 they also had the number 1 overall pick and took the player that provided the best combination of talent and savings. They’ve prioritized strong contact rates (hit tools). Gonzales, Davis, and Johnson all look like solid bets to progress through the system and be MLB-performers. How the Pirates draft: Pittsburgh has leaned towards safe future projections the past three seasons. Previous 1st round selections: Quinn Priester- RHP, Nick Gonzales- 2B, Henry Davis- C, Termarr Johnson- 2B Pittsburgh Pirates – Max Clark – OF Franklin HS, IN.So with that said, let’s get to the mock. These are broad generalizations and we don’t want to take any to the bank, but they can be interesting as we look at how organizational tendencies can impact future selections. You’ll also find verbiage about how certain teams prioritize higher picks.
While that might deviate from other mocks, I believe it’s a fun way to evaluate players this early in the draft cycle. After all, Jackson Holliday was appropriately ranked 36th overall by Pipeline in December 2021. It features players that I’ve identified as possible risers so there will be players mocked to teams below who are currently ranked in the 30-60 range by respected outlets. IN this mock I explore what the draft may look like this July, not necessarily where things stand right now. While it’s always draft season here at North Side Bound, things really get cooking at the start of the NCAA DI college baseball season.
