The Oakland Athletics and SF Giants both followed a similar strategy in the first round of the 2020 MLB Draft.

There is an old adage in baseball that you can never have enough catching, and both the Oakland Athletics and SF Giants are walking the walk.

The Oakland Athletics and SF Giants each have one of the top catching prospects in baseball in Sean Murphy (MLB.com No. 33) and Joey Bart (MLB.com No. 14), respectively.

Despite this high-end talent, this did not stop either team from adding to it in the first round of the 2020 MLB Draft.
