MLB Draft: Mock Draft Monday, Version 5.1

Grayson Rodriguez. 16. player. 21. Rodriguez has a ton of helium, and he’s been discussed heavily as an option by the Braves if they go away from a bat, so he could be long gone by this point, but if he’s still here, this would be a steal for his immense talent.. RHP. Central Heights HS (TX)

player. 102. The Angels are looking hard after arms, and with the way Gilbert finished his season, he could have moved himself back into the conversation for this pick over some of the HS arms still on the board.. RHP. Stetson. Logan Gilbert. 17

Magnolia HS (TX). Jordan Groshans. 18. player. 7. The Royals will have plenty of ability to manipulate with their draft pool, but this is beginning to feel like a sure tie as the Royals have been on Groshans plenty and have him significantly high on their board. He won’t get to their next pick, so this would be the spot to grab him if they want him.. 3B

32. The Cardinals would likely prefer Rolison or Gilbert, but absent either of them being on the board, they would go with the next high school arm, and Weathers is an incredibly talented one at that.. LHP. Loretto HS (TN). Ryan Weathers. 19. player

20. player. 2. While perhaps not as sexy as teammate Singer on the top end, Kowar is more consistent and has plenty of upside as well. This is a good comparison to the <strong><a rel=. RHP. Florida. Jackson Kowar

Trevor Larnach. 21. player. 76. Larnach jumped out of the gates with tremendous power, and while he hasn’t continued at the same level, he’s hit well all season with one of the best teams in the nation. The Brewers would be an interesting team here as they could go many directions.. OF. Oregon State

22. player. 108. Seigler is a big Colorado favorite, and it’d be surprising for him to not be the selection in this spot if he is still on the board, though Colorado has been checking in on prep arms as well, and if they felt Seigler would make it to their second selection they may gamble.. C. Cartersville HS (GA). Anthony Seigler

player. 43. The Yankees have the flexibility with their farm system to pursue the best upside available, and that would be Adams in this spot, a guy who could be an incredible player a few years down the road.. OF. Green Hope HS (NC). Jordyn Adams. 23

LHP. South Florida. Shane McClanahan. 24. player. 9. This would be an incredible drop for McClanahan, but the Cubs would be doing back flips to see McClanahan in this spot with his elite arm, even though he’s struggled with his control at times.

The Diamondbacks will likely utilize this spot to pick a high floor hitter from the college ranks, and McCarthy has returned with a vengeance at the end of the season.. OF. Virginia. Jake McCarthy. 25. player. 8
