The College World Series is officially underway in Omaha.
While there aren’t many top prospects playing in this year’s College World Series, there are a couple of reasons why Red Sox fans should be intrigued. For starters, the Red Sox hold the No. 4 pick in this year’s MLB Draft, which is their highest draft pick in over 50 years.
The second reason is a pair of pitchers from Vanderbilt. Jack Leiter and Kumar Rocker are widely considered to be the top two pitching prospects in this year’s draft, and both could be available when the Red Sox make their first-round pick.
