Arizona picks at #18, one slot before the Mets, The AZ Snake
pit listed 18 players that could be on their draft board at this position.
One is:
Patrick Bailey, C, North Carolina State University,
B/T: S/R
Bailey has the best total package behind all the catchers
with the draft with quality framework to go with the arm and bat to be an
impact player at and behind the plate. Bailey is the least likely of the group
to remain at 18 due to the demand of quality catchers in the draft. In a draft
that has less overall depth, Bailey would be easily a Top 10 pick similar to
Shea Langeliers last year. Bailey’s power tool took a step forward in the
shortened 2018 season, which catapulted him to Top 15 status. With strong hit
tools from both sides of the plate and very little questions about his ability
to stick behind the plate, it will be very unlikely Bailey slips out of the Top
15.

24. Christian
Peters, RHP, Portland
Like ULM, Portland was one of the hottest mid-major programs
over the four weeks of the 2020 season, thanks in large part to ace righthander
Christian Peters, a converted reliever who took to his role at the front of the
rotation with aplomb.
In four starts, he was 3-0 with a 0.63 ERA, a 35-to-3
strikeout-to-walk ratio and a .190 opponent batting average in 28.2 innings of
work, one season after putting up a 3.18 ERA in 39.2 innings as a top bullpen
arm for the Pilots.

19. Mets: Carmen Mlodzinski, RHP,
South Carolina
A slew of right-handers from the Southeastern and Atlantic
Coast conferences will go from the late first round through the early second
round: Mlodzinski, Cole Wilcox (Georgia), Slade Cecconi (Miami), Tanner Burns
(Auburn), Bobby Miller (Louisville), Bryce Jarvis (Duke), Chris McMahon
(Miami), C.J. Van Eyk (Florida State) and Cole Henry (Louisiana State).
Mlodzinski was the most impressive pitching prospect in the Cape Cod League
last summer.

OF Daniel Cabrera – LSU
MLB Pipeline currently has Daniel Cabrera ranked as the 38th
overall prospect in this year’s draft class. The 21-year-old corner outfielder
was well regarded coming out of high school, but was a strong commit to LSU,
and has put together a nice college career there.
Cabrera is a well-rounded player, but his contact ability
stands out. He is regarded as one of the more refined hitters in the draft. The
drawback is that his power has never grown enough to project as better than
average. For an outfielder, albeit one with enough arm for right field, a
profile lacking better than average speed and power makes for a narrow pathway
to everyday work in the major leagues.
On the other hand, Cabrera has used that smooth, compact
left-handed swing to hit everywhere he has played. He hit in high school
showcases and tournaments. He hit in college. He hit on the Cape last summer.
The bat gives his profile a strong foundation, as Cabrera has better odds to
hit than just about anyone likely to fall to the Tigers. The upside may just be
a little lacking against some of his competition to be the 38th overall pick.
Baseball America ranks Cabrera 41st, while FanGraphs pegs him
at 25th and out of the Tigers’ reach, citing the security of his strong hit
tool.

41. Bobby
Miller, RHP, Louisville
Miller has a big, strong frame. He has a firm fastball with
plenty of oomph. He has a pair of average or better secondaries. And so on.
What's not to like? Mostly his delivery, which includes a long, whip-like arm
action that robs him of command and could threaten his long-term wellbeing.
Some team that believes in his ability to stick in a rotation could take him
earlier.
