2020 Draft Prospect: Austin Martin

Arizona State slugger Spencer Torkelson is widely considered to be the best player available in this draft and the likely choice to go first overall by the Tigers. Vanderbilt’s Austin Martin is widely considered the second-best player, and the most likely to be selected by the Orioles with the #2 selection. However there has been some recent buzz that the Orioles could go with an underslot deal with outfielder Zac Veen, according to Baseball America. If the Marlins lock in on pitcher Asa Lacy with the third pick, that could leave the Royals with an opportunity to grab a player some consider the best overall talent in this draft - Austin Martin.
