An early '23 mock: Top 20 picks - https://www.mlb.com/news/2023-mlb-draft-mock -
1. A’s: Dylan Crews, OF, Louisiana State
Crews was a solid high school prospect heading into the 2020 Draft but removed his name from consideration and headed to LSU. All he’s done is hit, with an OPS of 1.135 in two years with the Tigers. He’s going to mash, for average and plenty of power (22 homers in 2022), fitting the right-field offensive profile well.

#1 Max Clark Outfield Franklin Community
Max Clark is one of the best pure high school hitters the draft has seen in recent memory. One area scout called him "The next Jarred Kelenic, with more physical upside." Clark has a fantastic feel for the strike zone and has a swing catered toward using the entire field. He's a pro hitter. Clark doesn't try to hit homers. He's a line drive machine. That said, he's really begun developing into plenty of game power and should run into 20+ homers at his peak. Clark figures to stick in centerfield where his double-plus run times and fantastic routes should age beautifully. The floor here is pretty substantial as far as prep bats go.

#1 Dylan Crews Outfield, LSU
Crews burst onto the scene as a true freshman, crushing baseballs, earning All-American honors almost unanimously. He carried that over into an equally impressive sophomore campaign in 2022. Crews produces elite exit velocities and balances the raw power with a strong approach and feel for the strike zone. He doesn't strike out and draws a ton of walks as well. In the field, Crews is likely destined for right field where his plus throwing arm and above average speed will be valuable assets. Crews is as close to a 5-tool talent as you’ll find in this class at the college level and could move quickly through the minor leagues given his position and skillset with the bat. He’s got a way about impacting the game in every aspect of the game.

I am extremely excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and baseball careers at Indiana University! I would like to thank my family, friends, and coaches for their guidance and the coaching staff at Indiana for the opportunity to play Division 1 baseball.

Crews and Clark - seem to be two to watch. Our draft position will be worse next year, for good reason - winning.
I'm OK with that.
None of the 2023 class written about here should be still on the board when we pick.
Clark is a future HOF candidate
