It’s that time of year, again, where ballplayers just out of high school and college hope their short careers have been enough to impress the scouts and get the call that they’ve been drafted.
Beginning at 6pm EST, the MLB Amateur Draft begins. The only sure pick will be Stephen Strasburg. The Washington Nationals have the first pick and will definitely be taking the 100 mph flame-thrower. After that, it’s anyone’s guess.
Usually, you can guess with a certain level of certainty who will be in the top 10-15, but this year, it’s sort of an unimpressive group of prospects.
The second team to pick is the Seattle Mariners (go team!), followed by San Diego, Pittsburgh and Baltimore, rounding out the top 5.
