Tonight marks the start of the 2016 Major League Draft begins with the Cleveland Indians picking 14th in the first round. It’s the highest they’ve picked since 2013 when they drafted high school outfielder Clint Frazier fifth-overall out of high school. Currently the Tribe’s top prospect (according to your’s truly at least), he’s having himself a hell of a year with the Double-A Akron Rubberducks.
In fact, each of the last three first-round picks by the Indians ranks among the top three prospects in the organization with 2014 first-round pick Bradley Zimmer second and 2015 first-round pick Brady Aiken third.
