The 2023 MLB draft has brought a fresh wave of promising young talent to baseball's minor league ranks.
The Pittsburgh Pirates kicked off this year's action by taking LSU right-hander Paul Skenes with the No. 1 overall pick, and the Washington Nationals made history at No. 2 overall when they took his LSU outfielder Dylan Crews, marking the first time in draft history that a pair of teammates have gone back-to-back to open the draft.
As expected, the next three picks were a trio of outfielders, with Max Clark (Detroit Tigers), Wyatt Langford (Texas Rangers) and Walker Jenkins (Minnesota Twins) long viewed as the remainder of a five-player top-tier of talent.
