7 SEC players projected to go in Round 1 of MLB.com analyst's 2020 MLB Mock Draft
The 2020 college baseball season was canceled amid the COVID-19 pandemic, which means we didn’t get a chance to see the SEC’s biggest baseball stars in action this spring.
However, the 2020 MLB Draft will still go on, and that means a few SEC stars will likely hear their names called in Round 1 on June 10 (Wednesday).
This past week, MLB.com analyst Jonathan Mayo released an updated Round 1 mock draft, and as you can see below, 7 SEC players are expected to go in the first 29 picks (the Houston Astros don’t have a first-round pick):
- No. 2 — Austin Martin, 3B/OF, Vanderbilt — Baltimore Orioles
- No. 3 — Asa Lacey, LHP, Texas A&M — Miami Marlins
- No. 6 — Emerson Hancock, RHP, Georgia — Seattle Mariners
- No. 7 — Heston Kjerstad, OF, Arkansas — Pittsburgh Pirates
- No. 14 — Garrett Crochet, LHP, Tennessee — Texas Rangers
- No. 20 — Cole Wilcox, RHP, Georgia — Milwaukee Brewers
- No. 27 — Justin Foscue, 2B, Mississippi State — Minnesota Twins
Is that how Round 1 will play out? Tune in on Wednesday to find out!
