Let’s say this straight from the outset Draft evaluation takes years. More than any other sport with a Draft, baseball requires years of development and positives and negatives can come on the roads between making a pick and the end of a Major League career.
That doesn’t completely rule out immediate evaluation, however. As evidenced by MLB Pipeline’s Top 250 Draft prospects, we still have a pretty good idea of who the top talents were heading into this Draft, and that leads to certain picks looking better than others right away.
With that in mind, these are our favorite picks of the 2021 Draft, one for every organization:
