The 2016 Major League Draft takes place June 9-11. In advance of the draft, Prep Baseball Report is posting a summary of each state in the coverage area with scouting reports on the top high school draft prospects.
Tennessee has consistently churned out talent the last five years with several top-10-round picks as well as others that have gone on to have strong careers at major college programs. Two pitchers—LHP Ryan Rolison (University School of Jackson, TN) and RHP Zach Linginfelter (Sevier County HS, TN)—made the PBR Draft 100 and could get popped in that range, while a few others could enter that conversation after three years in college.
