2020 MLB Mock Draft: Breaking Down Predictions for Emerson Hancock, Top Pitchers

The pool of premier pitching prospects for the 2020 MLB draft is led by Georgia's Emerson Hancock and Texas A&M's Asa Lacy.

Hancock is the top right-handed pitcher in the draft class, and he is projected to land anywhere from No. 4 to No. 9 among the second tier of best players available.

Lacy is regarded as one of the three best players coming from the amateur ranks. While there is a small chance of him going first overall, the likely position for him is No. 3.

After the top southpaw and right-hander are chosen, a slew of collegiate hurlers could land in the top 15, including Minnesota's Max Meyer.
