2021 MLB Draft Prep: Jumping the market

Last cycle, the Cubs jumped the relief market, selecting Burl Carraway in the second round. He wasn’t the best pitcher available, potentially. He was, likely, the best reliever. If you’re one of those swept up in the bullpen mayhem, you may wonder who the best college relief arm is. That is a rather easy one to solve. It seems to be Kevin Kopps of Arkansas, who has been much better than the elite Southeastern Conference so far. The question is, in which round should he go?

Is Kopps the guy?

It's not overstating the point, Kopps' season, and his importance to that Arkansas team, are significant https://t.
