The MLB draft is live! Keep track of selections and discuss picks here!
For the third season, we at Call to the Pen are going to provide an opportunity to discuss the MLB draft as it happens. We will be updating the selections live on this post as they happen, and we will have discussion in the comments section of this post throughout the night as the first day of the MLB draft takes place!
We have had plenty of MLB draft coverage here at Call to the Pen leading into the draft, including weekly mock drafts from co-editor Benjamin Chase. For review, here are those:
Mock Draft, Version 1.0
Mock Draft, Version 2.0
Mock Draft, Version 3.0
Mock Draft, Version 4.0
Mock Draft, Version 5.1
Mock Draft, Version 6.2
The first two rounds will be this evening, Monday, June 4th, starting at 7 PM Eastern. Then tomorrow, you can follow along on MLB.com starting at 1 PM Eastern as the draft continues, completing rounds 3-10. The final rounds of the draft, through round #40, will take place in rapid-fire progression on Wednesday, beginning at 11 AM Eastern.
You can look forward to a post on Tuesday before round 3 kicks off, evaluating the best players still available to open day #2 of the draft. Then look out on Thursday for a significant piece we will have with a review of every team’s draft, reviewing best picks from each day of the draft for each organization. There will also be multiple other smaller reaction pieces coming as well as CTTP makes sure you have all the MLB draft coverage you could ever possibly want!
