John Lepore, Alex Kielar, and Joey Ricotta | June 10th, 2020
The Detroit Tigers are on the Clock! Are you ready for the MLB Draft starting tonight at 7 pm ET? We are. Alex Kielar, Joey Ricotta, and I have our picks set. Follow along with the table below and be sure to tune in to us tonight live on The Scorecrow YouTube channel. Also, check out our scouting reports as well as some notes here. Let’s get ready!
Our top three picks are the same. After that, it gets a little different. While Alex and Joey feel the Kansas City Royals will take stud High School outfielder Zac Veen, I think they go middle infield with Nick Gonzales. A mix of Max Meyer, Emerson Hancock, Reid Detmers, and Garrett Mitchell round out our top 10 in slightly varied order.
I have Garrett Crochet slightly higher than Alex and Joey, and while they both have Tyler Soderstrom as the top catcher off the board, my guy is Patrick Bailey.
Joey has Justin Foscue on his board. Alex and I both left him off. He also has Nick Bitsko a bit higher than both Alex and myself.
Alex has Bryce Jarvis on his board as Joey and I do not. He also has Nick Loftin higher than us.
Check out all of the names after our picks for links to their MLB Draft Profiles and more. Enjoy!
