The 2017 MLB Draft is well into its second day, with teams making their picks from Round 3 through Round 10. The A’s stocked up on outfielders in Day 1, including a top high schooler and a pair of college bats. Let’s see what they do for an encore on Tuesday!
Round 3 (81): Nick Allen, SS
Francis Parker High School, CA
Summary: Undersized shortstop; strengths are speed and defense; line drive hitter, but no power. He’s ranked higher than the two college hitters Oakland took on Monday, according to all major sources (30s, rather than 50s/60s).
