Mack - Mock Draft v1.0

 

Yeah, yeah, I know it’s early, but it’s never too early for the mockworld and you need to know what’s going out there so far. 

You know the Mack drill. I take the last 10 mock drafts I can find online not behind paywalls and average them together to give you an idea where the so-called experts are calling this (I say so-called because 50% of the current mock drafts I have  show RHP Travis Sykora being the 1.8 pick in this draft, and the other 50% not even having him in the first round). 

So far (it’s early), I have four mock drafts to average up and give you the first peek here. 

I also predict the Mets will have the 1.28 pick and will highlight that person chosen.

 

So here goes:

 

1.1 OF Dylan Crews

1.2 SS Jacob Gonzalez

1.3 OF Max Clark

1.4 OF Walker Jenkins

1.5 RHP Chase Dollinger

1.6 OF Enrique Banfield Jr.

15. Jack Hurley

Outfield, Virginia Tech 

Hurley is a bit of a five-tool player who can impact the game in every aspect. He's got the hit tool and the raw power, and he's got the speed to steal double-digit bases as a pro. If there's one critique here, it may be that the throwing arm is below average, maybe a touch better than that. Hurley comes packed in an athletic frame with well-proportioned strength and organic loft built into his swing. He doesn't have to sellout for power or force things to his pull-side. He does a good job staying up the middle of the field and letting his bat speed handle the rest. Hurley has gone through occasional periods of swing-and-miss, coming almost exclusively by way of the changeup, but that's a development piece that should come as he ages. This is a big league regular bat.
