The Royals are almost certainly getting an elite prospect out of the first round draft with the second overall pick. While many expect the Orioles to take Oregon State catcher Adley Rutschman with the first overall pick, leaving the Royals to likely pick Texas high school infielder Bobby Witt, Jr., there is at least some doubt - albeit very little - that scenario may not unfold. According to Eric Longenhagen and Kiley McDaniel at Fangraphs in their latest mock draft:
We think there’s a chance that a combination of Baltimore’s assessment of Rutschman’s medical and potential bonus pool savings might ultimately lead the Orioles to take Texas high school SS Bobby Witt or (less likely) Cal 1B Andrew Vaughn, but that those chances are pretty slim.
