Campbell played more games last season (17) than he had in his previous three campaigns (15) for the Colts in 2022. 32)Teams around this area might be looking at the same group of this tier of college bats, with Gilbert and DeLauter the strong contenders. In his final mock, Callis suggests that the Orioles could get Jones for an $8 million bonus - about $800,000 under the slot of the #1 pick. 2 pick is putting together a hot streak that could end with an MLB debut this season. But in this scenario, Jung is the best one available. Jones stands as the #1 prospect in the draft by both of the publications whose work is being highlighted today. Nonetheless, heres FG on Johnson: Johnson has the most electric bat speed in this draft, and presents a rare combination of present power and potential middle infield fit, while also being one of the younger prospects in the class his swing bears a mechanical resemblance to Bryce Harpers, especially its finish. Im sticking with the best player in the top spot for now, though there are still several players in play for the Orioles and theyll likely wait until Sunday to make their decision. Mayo: Dylan Beavers, OF, California (No. 14. Jim Callis and I will have one more projection of the first 39 picks coming to you in the hours before the start of the first round on Sunday, but we didnt want you to wait that long for another check in. 10. 5) Its still mostly college bats were hearing here. A lot of names could have the same destiny, too. If the Twins take Cross, this could be where Berry lands. However, there is some grace in getting a No.5 pick wrong; selecting a No.1 overall pick incorrectly could be detrimental to the organizations rebuild moving forward. For me, Kjerstads status makes it all the more important that the Os are able The one sure thing is that no one really knows. He destroyed the ball for the Longhorns and sets the Home Run record for Texas in a season for Home Runs (32) and led the NCAA Division I in RBI (94), total bases (214) and slugging (.863). Prielipp has thrown twice for scouts and is on the back end of his Tommy John journey. Rangers: Kevin Parada, C, Georgia Tech (No. 1)No one outside of the Orioles' innermost circle may know who they're taking until they actually exercise the pick, so all of us mock drafters are really just guessing. 28), 33. D-backsCallis: Ivan Melendez, 1B, Texas (No. As with Mayos college rationale, it seems unlikely to me that Elias would factor this in very much. From Laws scouting report on Jones: His game bears many resemblances to his fathers, not least in the outfield, where Druw is already a plus defender and could work his way up to an elite level with experience. Angels: Brandon Barriera, LHP, American Heritage HS, Fla. (No. Laws mock draft begins with the admission that he doesnt know what the Orioles will do because they havent decided yet, so he uses Jones as the #1 pick on the basis that he thinks Jones is the best player available. Mets(compensation pick for failure to sign 2021 first-rounder Kumar Rocker)Callis: Brock Porter, RHP, Orchard Lake (Mich.) St. Mary's Prep (No. The Orioles, holders of another #1 overall pick thanks to their worst-in-MLB record last season, have that much time left to make the big decision of this draft. 34)Teams around here wanting a college hitter are thinking perhaps Jung gets here. Astros: Sterlin Thompson, OF, Florida (No. Law sees Lawlar, his #2 prospect in the draft, as having the best package of tools in the draft class.. 23. The Birds took their first loss of spring training in a 14-2 rout, which also saw Anthony Santander leave with an injury. 22. 16)The Giants have been linked with a number of high-upside or risk picks, so if Lesko, Rocker or another of the arms with injuries get here, they could go in that direction. WebMlb mock draft 2024. What Im saying is, its part of the game and it was a low pitch. AngelsCallis: Cade Horton, RHP, Oklahoma (No. 11. White Sox: Tucker Toman, 3B, Hammond HS, S.C.

A high school draft prospects age doesnt determine everything about him, but a younger player achieving success against older competition could help give him an edge in his case to be drafted. 19)Theres still a lot of talk about college hitters here, with Thompson or Graham a possibility -- or they could look to cut a deal. MLB.coms Jonathan Mayo made him the choice to the Orioles. If Lawlar ends up falling down the board, the Os will have to give some serious consideration to whether his age is a red flag or whether hes in that Witt level of prospect where the extra year just means youve got that much more advanced of a prospect. PFF has Baltimore selecting Utah CB Clark Phillips III at pick No. On the other hand, the Royals happily chose Witt after the Os picked Rutschman in 2019. AthleticsCallis: Dylan Beavers, OF, California (No. The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only. Orioles: Druw Jones, OF, Wesleyan HS, Ga. Lets predict three players at each draft position that could be in a Ravens uniform following the 2023 NFL Draft. The sons of Carl Crawford, Andruw Jones and Matt Holliday loom large at the top.

(No. GuardiansCallis: Thomas Harrington, RHP, Campbell (No. The Baltimore Orioles have had the No.1 overall pick twice in their franchise history. Graham, Gilbert and Arkansas third baseman Cayden Wallace would be college bats who wouldn't break their budget. 12. 18)DeLauter still could float upwards some more, with other college hitters getting mentioned here (Gilbert, Beck, Sterlin Thompson). YankeesCallis: Blade Tidwell, RHP, Tennessee (No. There is significant opportunity to do that in this draft, he says, so he considers the key question to be: Which of the players the Orioles are considering has the best incentive to take a lesser signing bonus? Most of the Brewers' targets are accomplished college performers: DeLauter, Graham, Thompson, Gilbert and Melton. 28)With the second-smallest bonus pool ($5.8 million), the Giants probably can't make a run at the many prep pitchers looking for over-slot deals in the 30-50 range. 3. 23), 34. He did have two Ks, TRIPLING his season total, now at 3.Lee is batting .458/.554/.797 with 3 HR and 11 2B.No. In two of these other mock drafts, Davis was already chosen before the Orioles had a chance to pick at #5. The Callis mock draft released two days ago puts the Orioles on Johnson, who is unique among this group of high school players because he just turned 18 earlier this month. But can they really pass up on Druw Jones? RaysCallis: Robby Snelling, LHP, McQueen HS, Reno, Nev. (No. Christmas came early for Eric, a Florida-based building contractor.

Druw Jones is the Orioles pick according to both halves of the MLB Pipeline duo, Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis, in their day-of-draft mock. 24)Every mock draft in America has the Angels grabbing a pitcher after going all arms in their 2021 Draft. Pirates: Jacob Miller, RHP, Liberty Union HS, Ohio (No. Whats interesting about Frelick is he has a profile thats expected to have some late development, since he played three sports in his Massachusetts high school without focusing specifically on baseball. 15)Mayo: Jordan Beck, OF, Tennessee (No. They could be tempted by Prielipp or Oklahoma right-hander Cade Horton, both of whom have recovered completely from 2021 Tommy John surgeries. 22. Eric Longenhagen reminds that other than when they took Adley Rutschman, the Orioles have gone for under-slot deals at their top pick with the aim of using the money to get better talents with later picks. What does a successful 2023 look like for the Orioles best hitters? However, both writers note that teams behind the Orioles in the draft believe that the Os are lining up another underslot deal. The #1 pick theyve got lined up for tonight after having the worst record in MLB last season could be their last easy chance to grab a top talent for the farm system. They also could shop in the Tommy John surgery bin (Lesko, Mississippi State right-hander Landon Sims) and could consider Tidwell, who missed the first six weeks of the season with shoulder problems. Had the Royals decided, Nope, too old! they would probably now have regrets. 22)It's all college names for the A's: Beavers, Gilbert, Susac among the hitters and Horton, Hjerpe and Campbell among the pitchers. Hes very reluctant to draft arms and the history shows us: the first pitchers in Elias regime are chosen in the fifth-round (Carter Baumler and Carlos Tavera). Prep shortstops Williams and Young are two more possibilities. In history, it is the teams third time. Johnson does not seem like he will be taken in the top 3 picks unless the Orioles take him. Barriera and Robby Snelling are the high school arms, with Prielipp, Cooper Hjerpe and Gabriel Hughes from the college crop. They've also been linked to Nevada prep outfielder Justin Crawford for a while, and they have interest in Horton as well. This time last year, everyone knew that Vanderbilt pitcher Kumar Rocker was going to be in the mix to go first overall, so much so that my joking slogan for the 2020 season was FUBAR for Kumar! By the time this spring rolled around, everyone knew that he had been joined near the top by teammate Jack Leiter and that these two players would be the top two picks. These are not surprising names to anyone whos been following the draft rumor mill over the weeks leading up to the draft. https://birdswatcher.com/2022/07/17/2022-orioles-mock-draft-day-1 28)33. PiratesCallis: Spencer Jones, OF, Vanderbilt (No. Mayo: Chase DeLauter, OF, James Madison University (No. Four of them are high schoolers -- Druw Jones, Jackson Holliday, Elijah Green and Termarr Johnson -- with Brooks Lee the lone college bat in play. Callis: Jackson Holliday, SS, Stillwater (Okla.) HS (No. 27), 38. Mayo also suggested that the Orioles, with a wave of talent potentially soon arriving on the MLB shore, might want to get a player who could help them sooner, when that crop of talent is still here. Heres when and how to watch or listen to all of the Orioles TV/radio spring training games, Fewer than half of Orioles spring games will have local broadcasts, 2023 Orioles vs. projections: Austin Voth (poll). The Orioles will be on the clock shortly after and then well know whose combination of talent and signing price they like the best. FanGraphs rates Johnson as the #4 prospect in the class, which is not a knock on his talent - he could be one of the top 30 prospects in the game when he signs, according to their estimation. 34)This could be the floor for Horton and Neto. In this round of mock drafts hes picked as high as #2. If youre old for your high school senior class, thats not as interesting as a player whos young for the class. In 2020, they picked #2 and everyone knew that #1 would be Spencer Torkelson. 2023 could be the year of Heston Kjerstad. If Elias thinks that Johnson could be that combination again, that would be a good reason to draft him. All picks and predictions are suggestions only. 2)The D-backs will take Jones if the Os dont, with Holliday looking like the best option with Jones gone. 2023 Minute Media - All Rights Reserved. NationalsCallis: Kevin Parada, C, Georgia Tech (No. I can understand why the national media would think to select Lee here because the Os last five selections have all been college players.Cadyn Grenier, 2018; Adley Rutschman, 2019; Heston Kjerstad, 2020; Jordan Westburg, 2020; and the Colton, as mentioned earlier by Cowser last year. For the second time in the last four years, the Baltimore Orioles have the first overall pick in the MLB Draft. The Orioles brain trust will need to figure out if the answer is yes. 10)This makes 10 straight hitters. For an Orioles example of this, look no further than 2019 second round pick Gunnar Henderson, who was only 17 years old on draft day. 2 if he doesn't go No. 26)Its still mostly college pitchers here, with Hughes still in strong consideration.
