Now that the 2018 MLB draft is in the books, it's time to break down notable picks from this year's class. Today, it's the National League's turn, and on Friday, I'll examine the American League.
I liked the D-backs' first two picks, just in the opposite order. They took Matt McLain (1) in the first round and Jake McCarthy (1A) in the sandwich at pick 39. I think McCarthy, if healthy, is the clearly better prospect because he can play center field and has plenty of hit tool to be above average. Meanwhile, McLain is an undersized prep infielder who won't stay at short and really has to hit.
