BA has posted up their first mock draft of the season. This one has an anonymous major league scout alternating picks with Carlos. Will post through the top ten.

1.) Nationals - Jamie Arnold

2.) Angels - Tyler Bremner

3.) Mariners - Seth Hernandez

4.) Rockies - Billy Carlson

5.) Cardinals - Ethan Holliday

6.) Pirates - Marek Houston

7.) Marlins - Dean Curley

8.) Blue Jays - Ethan Conrad

9.) Reds - Aiva Arquette

10.) White Sox — Kruz Schoolcraft, LHP/1B, Sunset HS, Portland, Ore.
Scout Commentary: “Do they go back to the lefthanded pitching well at 10? I will go out on a limb and go with Kruz Schoolcraft here. The fastball is mid 90s. The changeup is the better secondary for him. He has the big 6-foot-7, 6-foot-8, Randy Johnson-looking frame. You get a young kid at 18 who’s already in the mid 90s from the left side? With his athleticism and that size, the slider will get better, and I think it’ll be an above-average pitch with the changeup showing flashes of plus right now.”

I’ve talked to scouts who prefer Schoolcraft as the top high school pitcher in the class. He’s got a massive frame, he’s athletic, he has a clean and balanced finish with elite extension and he’s already throwing 98 mph. I agree that the changeup is ahead of the slider now, but I’m pretty confident he’ll start ripping plus breaking balls once he’s working with pro pitching development. It also wouldn’t shock me if the White Sox don’t get a chance to draft him.

Other picks of note I found interesting. LaViolette at 11 to Oakland. Liam Doyle to the Astros at 21, and Gavin Kilen to the Phillies at 26.

I know we need hitters, but there is definitely a thought for leaning into what we do extremely well.

There was interest in Shelton last year as a draft eligible soph.  He had big power and crazy high strike out numbers.  He flipped the script this year.  The power and strike outs are way down and the batting avg and on base is way up (funny how that works).  I like this version much better. He's not a SS but should be able to handle 2B and possibly 3B.
