2021 MLB Draft

2021 MLB draft ad. Dodger update

First of all, I wanted to note that 4 of the pitchers that went in the 1st round yesterday pitched at O’Brate this season at OSU.
Kumar Rocker
Jack Leiter
Jordan Wicks
Ty Madden

Most predictable…..
Jack Leiter with the #2 pick……

Biggest surprise?
Ty Madden falling all the way to #32

Biggest sleeper?
I know….1st round picks can’t be sleepers but 1 in particular player stuck out to me and he was not one of headliners like Rocker, Leiter, Chase Petty or Ty Madden.

His name is Colson Montgomery
Montgomery was a 3 way star at his High School in Indiana.

6’4″ left handed hitting shortstop who is very, very athletic. To see his athletic ability watch some of his basketball film. You’ll see him alley open, protect the rim etc…

Biggest local link?
Jackson Jobe….
Jobe was picked 3rd overall and is from Heritage Hall in OKC and is projected as the best “non college” pitcher in this years draft.

Biggest Winner?
Detroit Tigers
They got Jobe at #3, then they also got Ry Madden from UT.

Cockiest draftee?
Chase Petty….Watch his interview and you’ll know what I mean. He would fit in perfect with the Padres

After having just 5 rounds last year the MLB draft is 20 rounds this year in 2021.

Rounds 2-10 will be today while rounds 11-20 will conclude on Tuesday.
