The 2017 MLB draft is getting plenty of discussion on baseball forums and social media. Who are the college guys to know, and what does the college class look like this year?

Our MLB coverage at Call to the Pen is fairly well-balanced, but in an effort to give you better breadth and depth of coverage of minor league baseball, we will begin a number of weekly posts.

The first will examine the big news items along with the top performers in the minor leagues each Monday. Tuesday will bring a review of the weekend highlight series. Wednesday will bring draft news and college baseball news until that is complete. Thursday will preview the weekend series of note in minor league baseball to watch. Friday will feature a new series, “The Video Room”, where CTTP contributor Benjamin Chase will examine one game from the week from a scouting perspective and break down the game.

Scouting reports will be scattered throughout the week and weekends as well, so keep on the lookout for those as well. As always, if there is anything you would like to see covered more thoroughly here at CTTP, let us know in the comments section below!

Today, we will look at the college draft class for the 2017 MLB draft. With many places beginning to get more into mock drafts and into deeper scouting reports, the top rated prospects are coming out.

The 2017 college season has begun to sort out who will be the true MLB prospects and who will be the guys that may fall down in the draft.
