Sandlot Collegiate Summer League Draft Pick By Pick

The sports world was turned upside down this spring with the coronavirus outbreak canceling seasons at all levels, not to mention the global crisis it has caused. With social distancing and isolation in effect for the foreseeable future, there are question marks around how the 2020 MLB Draft will go. Last week, Major League Baseball announced that it would take place no later than July 20 and consist of as few as five rounds, possibly 10.
It remains to be seen if players will be able to play any kind of games or even work out for teams before the draft happens. With that in mind, D1Baseball.com and Prep Baseball Report teamed up to create the Sandlot Collegiate Summer League—a hypothetical league that would provide the players a chance to play in front of scouts one more time before being drafted. There is emphasis on hypothetical. This exercise was done for fun, to create conversation and some friendly debate (trash talk).
So, Aaron Fitt, Shooter Hunt, Nathan Rode, Kendall Rogers and David Seifert, conducted a 25-round draft to put together their teams. The parameters are simple: build a team to win a summer league championship using collegiate players eligible for the 2020 draft. Assume all selected will play. If this were to happen in real life, it’s unlikely LHP Asa Lacy (Texas A&M) would suit up. He has established his value and wouldn’t risk injury or hurting his draft stock.
The draft results are below and you can listen to how things played out live on The Rode Show Podcast. The first 15 rounds are on the first episode, and the second episode has the final 10 rounds plus some instant analysis.
