Orioles 2021 draft preview: Henry Davis

The Orioles already have their hands on their catcher of the future, unless something awful occurs. Adley Rutschman, the 2019 #1 overall pick, began the season as most prospect lists #2 minor leaguer in all of baseball and will soon be the top prospect in the game, once Tampa’s Wander Franco plays enough to drop off of those lists.

Having one top catching prospect is not, or at least should not be, a reason to discourage a team from selecting another catcher with a high pick in a subsequent draft. Take the best player available and see what happens in the future.
