![]() Singer went just two picks later to the Royals who also had multiple early picks giving them the necessary slot money. Liberatore was finally picked by the Rays at the sixteenth overall pick by the Tampa Bay Rays, who had the necessary slot money to get him signed. Matthew Liberatore and Brady Singer were seen as two of the top pitchers in the draft and neither has had their name called. Through the first fifteen picks, the biggest surprises are who hasn’t been drafted at this point. The Pirates closed out the top ten picking Travis Swaggerty who has tried to pattern his game after the Rockies’ own Charlie Blackmon. While the under-slot pick of Weathers by the Padres might have been a slight surprise, the Oakland A’s selection of Kyler Murray at ninth overall was the biggest surprise in the first ten picks. The Padres and Braves followed suit picking high school players as well with Ryan Weathers and Carter Stewart. The Mets finally broke the run, picking Jarred Kelenic a high-school outfielder from Wisconsin. The college run continued through the fifth overall pick with Jonathan India going to the Reds. Through four picks, it’s been nothing but college players as Alec Bohm and Nick Madrigal have followed in the third and fourth picks respectively. The Giants followed up with the first position player of the draft, Joey Bart a catcher out of Georgia Tech. The Detroit Tigers have made Casey Mize, a right-handed pitcher out of Auburn, the first overall pick.
