Matt McDonnell MLB Mock Draft


Round 1
1Houston Astros 2012 MLB Mock Draft College Baseball Draft ProfilesHoustonMark AppelPStanford
As of now there does not seem to be a clear-cut number one pick, but Appel makes sense for the Astros. At 6'5 he is a big, strong pitcher who has the mold to develop into a power pitcher at the next level. He has good command and already K's a lot of batters, striking out 86 batters in 110.1 innings in his 17 starts. He mixes up his pitches well, and will continue to develop an already potent repertoire.
2Minnesota Twins 2012 MLB Mock Draft College Baseball Draft ProfilesMinnesotaLance McCullersPHigh School
At 6'2 and still in HS, MCDullers has a powerful arm, reportedly being clocked as high as 100 MPH. He is committed to Florida, but he has a ton of potential and is worthy of this pick. His fastball typically is thrown between 94-97 MPH, which he mixes with a good power curve and a changeup. He has a chance to be a dominate pitcher in the bigs, with three plus pitches. When the Twins were playoff contenders they had a great pitching staff, and will look to acquire their ace of the future with this selection.
3Seattle Mariners 2012 MLB Mock Draft College Baseball Draft ProfilesSeattleDeven MarreroSSArizona State
Shortstops are at a premium in the major leagues, as they are tough to come by. Marrero is a stud defensively and a good young hitter. He has a strong arm and excellent range. He is a contact hitter and shown flashes of good discipline at the plate. He projects to be a plus shortstop at the next level and gives Seattle a cornerstone to build their franchise, that is not a pitcher.


12New York Mets 2012 MLB Mock Draft College Baseball Draft ProfilesNew York MetsCarlos CorreaSSHigh School
The Mets lost Reyes to the free agency market and will be looking for his replacement for the future. Look no further than Carlos Correa, still a young prospect, as he is just in high school. As he develops, he could be the new future of the Mets.


35New York Mets 2012 MLB Mock Draft College Baseball Draft ProfilesNew York MetsClate SchmidtPHigh School
The Mets filled their void at shortstop with their first pick, now with their supplemental choice they can focus on revamping their rotation. Schmidt is a good prospect with a lot of upside and will help the Mets bolster up their farm system.
