2020 MLB Mock Draft: EVERY TEAM'S FIRST PICK! (Except the Astros... Sorry!)
Tomorrow is the big day - it’s the 2020 MLB Draft, which will be significantly different from previous drafts. However, the first round will be more or less business as usual (except for the fact that the Houston Astros won’t have a pick due to the punishments stemming from their 2017 sign stealing scandal). Here are my predictions (AKA Mock Draft) for the first round including the Competitive Balance A Picks starting at #30 :
Detroit Tigers - 1B Spencer Torkelson (Arizona State)
Baltimore Orioles - 2B Austin Martin (Vanderbilt)
Miami Marlins - LHP Asa Lacy (Texas A&M)
