2021 MLB Mock Draft: Early Predictions for Top 1st-Round Baseball Prospects

Vanderbilt pitcher Kumar Rocker took the baseball world by storm during his freshman campaign in 2019.

The right-handed hurler is the early favorite to be the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 MLB draft, but he will face competition for the spot from within his team and conference.

Rocker and teammate Jack Leiter have a chance to be the first two selections in 12 months, but Rocker is more of a guarantee to land at the top right now.

The Vanderbilt teammates should be joined by Florida's Jud Fabian and a few other SEC prospects in the first set of picks.
