With the draft roughly six weeks away, it’s time to take our first look at the picks and start putting some names with MLB teams.

Welcome to MLB draft season! Okay, in truth, for many of us, and likely for many reading this, draft season began, oh, roughly 10 months ago after about a one month break following the previous draft.

However, this year’s draft is just around the corner now, and it’s time to start looking more deeply into the teams and who they will choose at their selection. While mock drafts are fun to put together, more informative are the discussions around the picks with teams that inform better how things could break down on when the MLB draft happens on June 12th.

Without further ado, let’s get started!

1. Minnesota Twins

2. Cincinnati Reds

3. San Diego Padres

4. Tampa Bay Rays

5. Atlanta Braves

I live in rural South Dakota, where I picked up the love of baseball from my great grandmother and my grandfather. I've enjoyed passing on the game to my nephews and now to my own children. I love evaluating the minor leagues and often have a game on the computer and the TV at the same time!
