2017 MLB Re-Draft

Here I'm going to re-draft the (official) First Round of the 2017 MLB Draft. How many picks will be the same? How many picks will be different?

1. Minnesota Twins- Brendan McKay, Pitcher/First Baseman, Louisville: McKay has a ton of upside on the mound and at the dish. McKay is ranked as my 23rd best prospect, the 39th best prospect by Baseball America, the 21st ranked prospect by Fangraphs, and the 25th ranked prospect by MLB.com. McKay will be starting the Season in Short-A, but it won't be surprising if he's in AA by the end of this season.
Actual Pick: Royce Lewis, Shortstop/Outfielder, JSerra Catholic HS (CA)

2. Cincinnati Reds- Hunter Greene, Pitcher/Outfielder/Shortstop, Notre Dame HS (CA): Greene is slated to be a pitcher long term and he has ace upside. Greene is my 19th ranked prospect, the 29th ranked prospect by Baseball America, the 42nd ranked prospect by Fangraphs, and the 21st ranked prospect by MLB.com. Greene is likely to start the season in Class-A and don't be surprised if he's in AA by the end of the year.
Actual Pick: Greene

3. San Diego Padres- MacKenzie Gore, Pitcher, Whiteville HS (NC): Gore is one of the better pitching prospects in baseball and he's in all likelihood going to be an ace. Gore is my 18th ranked prospect, the 26th ranked prospect by Baseball America, the 33rd ranked prospect by Fangraphs, and the 19th ranked prospect by MLB.com. Gore should start the season in Class-A and maybe even Advanced-A and it won't be that shocking if he's the first player from this draft to reach the bigs.
Actual Pick: Gore

4. Tampa Bay Rays- Royce Lewis, Shortstop/Outfielder, JSerra Catholic HS (CA): Lewis is one of the prospects on the rise. Lewis is my 50th ranked prospect, the 24th ranked prospect by Baseball America, the 38th ranked prospect by Fangraphs, and the 20th ranked prospect by MLB.com. Lewis will start the season in Class-A and probably will be in AA by the end of the season.
Actual Pick: Brendan McKay, Pitcher/First Baseman, Louisville

5. Atlanta Braves- Kyle Wright, Pitcher, Vanderbilt: Wright is a fast rising prospect in the Braves system. Wright is my 32nd ranked prospect, the 34th ranked prospect by Baseball America, the 26th ranked prospect by Fangraphs, and the 30th ranked prospect by MLB.com. Wright is slated to start the season in AA and will likely see the bigs at some point.
Actual Pick: Wright

6. Oakland Athletics- Keston Hiura, Second Baseman/Outfielder, UC Irvine: Hiura is a fast rising prospect in the Brewers system and he can flat out hit. Hiura is my 36th ranked prospect, the 47th ranked prospect by Baseball America, the 24th ranked prospect by Fangraphs, and the 56th ranked prospect by MLB.com. Hiura is slated to start the season in Class-A and probably will finish the season in AA.
Actual Pick: Austin Beck, Outfielder, North Davidson HS (NC)

7. Arizona Diamondbacks- Alex Faedo, Pitcher, Florida: Faedo is a fast rising prospect in the Tigers system. Faedo is my 63rd ranked prospect, the 50th ranked prospect by Baseball America, and the 59th ranked prospect by MLB.com. Faedo is supposed to start the season in Advanced-A and it won't be shocking if he ends up in the bigs for September call-ups.
Actual Pick: Pavin Smith, First Baseman, Virginia

8. Philadelphia Phillies- Jo Adell, Outfielder, Ballard HS (KY): Adell is a prospect tending upwards that has a ton of upside although he probably won't be in the bigs for another two years. Adell is my 51st ranked prospect, the 46th ranked prospect by Baseball America, the 66th ranked prospect by Fangraphs, and the 62nd ranked prospect by MLB.com. Adell is slated to start the season in Rookie Ball, but should be in Class-A or even Advanced-A when the season ends.
Actual Pick: Adam Haseley, Outfielder, Virginia

9. Milwaukee Brewers- Heliot Ramos, Outfielder, Leadership Christian Academy (PR): Ramos is a prospect that can just flat out hit, just like the guy the Brewers took in this spot in the actual draft in Hiura, who is off the board in the re-draft. Ramos is my 65th ranked prospect, the 46th ranked prospect by Baseball America, and the 63rd ranked prospect by MLB.com. Ramos should start the season in Short-A and it won't be surprising to see him in Advanced-A at the end of the season.
Actual Pick: Keston Hiura, Second Baseman/Outfielder, UC Irvine

10. Los Angeles Angels- Shane Baz, Pitcher, Concordia Lutheran HS (TX): With Adell off the board, the Angels go with Baz here to bank on his potential and upside. Baz is my 70th ranked prospect and the 67th ranked prospect by MLB.com. Baz is slated to start this season in Rookie Ball, but probably finish the season in Class-A.
Actual Pick: Jo Adell, Outfielder, Ballard HS (KY)

11. Chicago White Sox- JB Bukauskas, Pitcher, North Carolina: Bukauskas is a fast rising pitcher in the Astros system with ace potential and is a strikeout machine. Bukauskas is my 77th ranked prospect, the 76th ranked prospect by Baseball America, and the 76th ranked prospect by MLB.com. Bukauskas will probably start the season in Short-A and he'll likely finish the season at as high as AA.
Actual Pick: Jake Burger, First Baseman/Third Baseman, Missouri State

12. Pittsburgh Pirates- Adam Haseley, Outfielder, Virginia: Haseley is one of the safer bets to pan out out of this draft class in terms of position players. Haseley is my 97th ranked prospect and the 95th ranked prospect by MLB.com. Haseley will start the season in Short-A and there's a chance he finishes the season in Advanced-A.
Actual Pick: Shane Baz, Pitcher, Concordia Lutheran HS (TX)

13. Miami Marlins- Pavin Smith, First Baseman, Virginia: Pavin is a very promising prospect that can flat out rake. Smith is is my 93rd ranked prospect and the 91st ranked prospect by MLB.com. Smith is projected to be in the big leagues by 2020 and is should start this season in Class-A.
Actual Pick: Trevor Rogers, Pitcher, Carlsbad HS (TX)

14. Kansas City Royals- Nate Pearson, Pitcher, UCF: Pearson is an under the radar prospect that isn't getting much attention. Pearson is ranked 76th in Fangraph's prospect rankings. He is slated to start the season in Short-A and it won't be surprising to see him as high as AA come September.
Actual Pick: Nick Pratto, First Baseman, Huntington Beach HS (CA):

15. Houston Astros- David Peterson, Pitcher, Oregon: With Bukauskas off the board, the Astros go with another stud pitcher in Peterson. I would be that Peterson will be a top-100 prospect by the end of this season. Peterson is slated to start this season at Short-A and it won't be surprising if he's in Advanced-A or even AA to finish the season.
Actual Pick: JB Bukauskas, Pitcher, North Carolina

16. New York Yankees- Logan Warmorth, Shortstop, North Carolina: Warmoth is very under the radar and is a safer bet to pan out due to his glove at short. Warmoth is slated to start the season at Short-A and there's a chance he finishes the season at Advanced-A.
Actual Pick: Clarke Schmidt, Pitcher, South Carolina

17. Seattle Mariners- Evan White, First Baseman/Outfielder, Kentucky: White played very well in his minor league debut last summer and into the fall. White should start the season in Class-A and if he hits like he's capable of, maybe he finds himself in AA.
Actual Pick: White

18. Detroit Tigers- Jeren Kendall, Outfielder, Vanderbilt: Kendall hit okay in his minor league debut
after being drafted. Kendall has a ton of upside still and will start this season in Class-A and could finish the year in AA if he improves enough.
Actual Pick: Alex Faedo, Pitcher, Florida

19. San Francisco Giants- Bubba Thompson, Outfielder, McGill-Toolen Catholic HS (CA): With Ramos off the board, the Giants take Thompson, who is a prospect that's going to take time to fully
develop, but has a ton of upside. Thompson is slated to start the season in Rookie Ball and there's a chance he finishes the season in Short-A, if not Class-A.
Actual Pick: Heliot Ramos, Outfielder, Leadership Christian Academy (PR)

20. New York Mets- Nick Pratto, First Baseman, Huntington Beach HS (CA): With Peterson off the board, the Mets take a position player with upside in Pratto, who may take some time to develop. Pratto will likely start the season in Rookie Ball and there's a chance he finishes the year in Class-A if he plays better than he did last year.
Actual Pick: David Peterson, Pitcher, Oregon

21. Baltimore Orioles- Tanner Houck, Pitcher, Missouri: Houck didn't have a good first impression in the minor leagues, but I would not give up on him yet. Houck is slated to start the season in Short-A and if he performs well, we may see him in Advanced-A by the time September rolls around.
Actual Pick: DL Hall, Pitcher, Valdosta HS (GA)

22. Toronto Blue Jays- Seth Romero, Pitcher, Houston: With Warmorth off the board, the Jays go with Romero, who has gotten himself in trouble not just in the past, but in spring training this year, but were banking on potential here. Romero is slated to start the season in Rookie Ball and assuming he stays out of trouble and pitches well, he can be as high as Advanced-A.
Actual Pick: Logan Warmorth, Shortstop, North Carolina

23. Los Angeles Dodgers- Clarke Schmidt, Pitcher, South Carolina: Schmidt is coming off of Tommy John and the Dodgers in theory here would be banking on him to return to forum. Schmidt will likely start in Rookie Ball and if he performs, he could finish the season in Class-A.
Actual Pick: Jeren Kendall, Outfielder, Vanderbilt

24. Boston Red Sox- Trevor Rogers, Pitcher, Carlsbad HS (TX): With Houck off the board, the Red Sox take Rogers, who did not pitch well in his minor league debut. Rogers will start the season in Rookie Ball and could finish the season in Class-A if things go well.
Actual Pick: Tanner Houck, Pitcher, Missouri

25. Washington Nationals- DL Hall, Pitcher, Valdosta HS (GA): With Romero off the board, the Nats go with another pitcher in Hall, who didn't pitch well in his minor league debut, but still has a ton of upside and potential. Hall is likely to start the season in Rookie Ball and could find himself in Class-A in September if things go better.
Actual Pick: Seth Romero, Pitcher, Houston

26. Texas Rangers- Austin Beck, Outfielder, North Davidson HS (NC): With Thompson off the board, the Rangers take Beck in the re-draft, who didn't play up to top-ten pick status in his minor league debut. Beck is slated to start the season in Rookie Ball and if he plays well enough, don't be surprised if he finishes the season in Class-A.
Actual Pick: Bubba Thompson, Outfielder, McGill-Toolen Catholic HS (CA):

27. Chicago Cubs- Brendon Little, Pitcher, State College of Florida-Manatee (JC): Little did not have a good run in his minor league debut sans a small sample size. Little is likely to start the season in Rookie Ball and could finish the season in Class-A.
Actual Pick: Little
