2024 MLB Draft Board: May Update
May 3, 2024
Prep Baseball’s Draft HQ took the time to publish its latest Mock Draft this week as the college season begins heading toward its conclusion, and with that, we're also updating our Draft Board. Thursday's Mock Draft was our latest attempt at picking how the draft would shake out were it held today, but this Draft Board list is how we've evaluated and ranked the propsects themselves, from our perspective.
We've cut the Draft Board down into a Top-100 overall, comprised of a combination of high school and college players. From there, we have broken down the rest of the players who warrant draft consideration into separate groups. We did this because that's more representative of how orgs handle their business on each day of the draft itself.
+ Last week's Mock Draft: May Update
+ Top-125 College Players: Full List
+ Top-100 High School Players: Full List
+ Positional Prep Breakdowns: Catchers, Shortstops, Outfielders, Pitchers
ABOUT OUR PROCESS
“The very best Major League draft boards reflect an understanding of current market depth, organizational strengths, and historic draft expectations. Organizing players in this manner, allows a team to make strategic decisions in real time that will help them capitalize on the current market. Lining players up one to 500 is not only inefficient, but oftentimes, creates insurmountable obstacles for the decision-making team. At Prep Baseball, we understand this dynamic and work diligently to build our boards in a manner that reflects talent and perspective.”
– DJ Svihlik, Draft HQ Senior Advisor & former Miami Marlins scouting director
